DEATH OF TIMOTHY WHITE, EsQ.-We
are sorry to say that the warm-hearted
" Tim - is no more. After several years
of suffering, during the latter part of
which he was confined to the house, he
quietly fell asleep, on last Monday morn
ing, in the thirty second year of his age.
few years ago, no one appeared to have
a longer lease upon life or to possess a
more vigorous constitution than he, whom
a sorrowing and sympathizing community
laid away on last Wednesday afternoon in
the Catholic Cemetery, to sleep his last,
long sleep in hope of a glorious resurrec-
ton, in that great day for which all other
days were made.
Mr.. White was an honest and upright
man, and filled many positions of honor
and responsibility, being Deputy Sheriff
for two terms, and for time a member Of
the police force of Baltimore City, but
more recently Bailiff of Elkton. All of
these positions he filed with credit to him.
self and satisfaction to all with whom he
came in contact.
Mr.. w. was a member of the Catholic
Church, and his funeral services were con-
Quoted by the Revs. Fathers ballard and
| Fallon. High Mass was said for the repose
Of the soul OF the deceased, on Wednesday
morning, and the interment took place in
the afternoon. His funeral was largely
attended by tie citizens of the town, prom
inent members of the Methodist and Pres
byterian Churches assisting in doing the
last sad offices of kindness and respect to
the remains Of their departed townsman
and friend. Father Fallon made a very
pretty and appropriate, and entirely unsec-
tartan address.
1t has been but a few weeks since his
brother John was called away from earth,
and now the mortal remains of the two
brothers sleep side by side in the quiet
church yard They were early called away
from earth's joys and sorrows to that
"Land of blooming May,
OF fadelesS Spring time far away,
Beyond the cold, dark river;
And now iife's joys and cares are passed,
And they have reach'd that land at last,
And dwell in peace forever
May the turf ever be green above their
last resting place, and their memories green
in the hearts of their friends y.
THE MEETINGS N THE TENT were but
moderately attended till Sunday, during
which day the audience was of respecta-
bic size. On Sunday night it was quite
large, and Rev. William Gould, who had
charge of the enterprise, preached an old
time sermon, taking for his text Galatians,
9th chapter, and It'll and Sth verses: BE
not deceived; God is not Knocked: for what
soever a man soweth, that shall he reap;
! for he that soweth to the flesh, shall of the
/ flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth
to the spirit, shall Of the spirit reap life
everlasting"
The reverend gentleman said he would
tell his audience what sowing to the flesh
| produced, and quoted and commented upon
the 10Th and Goth verses OF the preceding
| chapter, in which they are said to be adul-
terry, tornicaton, etc, to the end of the
catalogue of wickedness. He spoke of the
| fruits of the flesh as Luther may be sup
posed to have spoken of the sins and crimes
and corruption and lechery of the Romish
! Church of his time. He seemed to think
the business of his Master demanded that
he should speak in plain manner, and he
did not appear to fear to do SO. Never,
but once before, have we heard the crimes
and follies Of this age denounced in such a
severe and incorporating manner. This
sermon made a deep and it is to be hoped
lasting impression upon the audience that
heard it. Still, when the invitation was
| given for those who wanted the prayers of
christians in their behalf, few, if any, stood
up to indicate their desire for them.
On Monday afternoon Mr.. Gould preached
again and at night Mr. McDougall preached
good sermon to large audience, after
which a number stood up for prayers; and
the Evangelsts were summoned to pray for
stricken sinner about midnight and went
and prayed for him, and his soul was con-
verted, and he went on his way rejoicing.
On Tuesday afternoon Mr.. McDougall
preached again, and at night Mr.. Gould
finished the sermon that he had not time to
finish on Sunday night, and told his hear
ers about the fruits of the spirit. After
the sermon was over on Tuesday they held
prayer meeting in behalf Of many of the
audience that wished the prayers of chris
tian people, and several Of the more active
and Jealous members of the 81. E. Church
participated. The meeting did not dismiss
till nearly midnight and then the Evan
geists proceeded to take down the gospel
tent in which they had been holding the
