ARRAIGSED.

Samuel Passmore, of this town, on Tues
day of last week, took out warrants for the
arrest Of about dozen boys and young
men of this place, for stonng his dog at
night. 1t seems as though the dog is
inclined to be rather vicious, and in fact
has really attacked people some distance
from home and is not actually safe to run
at large. The boys, we suppose, made up
their minds TO go for him, and in the ex
element many stones were hurled al the
dog, some of which took effect on the
owners house and hence the above. We
are informed Squire / r. Taylor, bound
some of the boys over for their appearance
at the next term of court, all on account of
dog that is not safe to run al large

BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Some time early last Sunday morning the
house of Godfrey Halkenstein, who keeps
Il small country store on the old turnpike,
about three miles east of Elkton and near
the base of Iron hill, was feloniously en-
tered by three burglars. Mr.. and Mrs. IL.
had retired to bed about IL o'clock and left
the light burning in their room: they were
awake when the burg lars entered, but
whether they had been sleep or not is not
known. They inquired what the robbers
wanted. but they made no reply, and at
once commenced an assault upon the aged
couple with blIles, beating and cutting
them in IA shocking and terrible manner.
While two of the villains were engaged at
this muidrruus work, another of the bloody
trio assembled to the third story of the house

MISSIONARY ANNIvERsARY.-The ami
versary of the Juvenile Missionary Society
of the NJ. T. Sabbath school, of this town,
was held on Sunday evening last, in the
VI. f. Church. The meeting was organ
lied by electing Mr.. VIM. Torbert Presi-
dent and John Chamberlin Secretary
The exercises were opened with singing
"Ail Hail the Power of Jesus Name" by
the school. followed with prayer by Mr..
Montgomery Brown. after which singing
From Greenland's ley Mountains.
The pastor, Rev. d. C. Ridgway, then
addressed the meeting upon the subject of
missions, saying that the Methodist Church
had become fully awakened to the value of
the chidren's aid in the missionary work
The christian church is the only one that
has utilized the children, or that recognizes
them as part of itself. Tho wisdom of
such action is shown in the constant ad-
van enlent Of the religion of Christ and
the consequent decline OF Paganism. He
urged upon parents the importance of
the importance of mission work, and to a
proper sense of THEN duty in giving to its
support.
After the address a quartette, entitled
Arise and Shine, )" was rendered by the
Misses Terrell and Mcssrs. Ridgway and
smith.
Receiving the report of collections being
IN order, the different classes were called;
each one in 1urn responded by presenting
an envelope containing the amount col
Iected during the year, and bearing an
appropriate verse of Scripture. These were
received and read by the pastor. After the
large school had reported, the infant school
sang one of their hymns and handed in the
report OF their collections.
The total amount contributed was then
read as follows: home school, $3.50; infant
school. 50. 90; Westamwell mission, $40. 90:
total, Sl35. IS, with one class and two of the
missions yet to report. These, it is thong hit,
will increase the amount to $1,000.
An address was then delivered by Mr..
John Perkins, in which he said an impress
| sion seemed to prevail that all moneys
collected for mission were sent abroad
This is not correct, as at least 30 per cent
of the collections Here used in home mis-
sion work. In our own church four mis-
sion schools hvae been established which are
in Aourishiug condition and are self sus
tanning. Some of the foreign missions are
| already self supporting and others are
| rapidly becoming So. y quartette was
sung by Mrs. Ridgway, MISS Eva Perkins.

that the building in which the obnoxious

Death has again laid low one of our old
est inhabitants. Mr. Andrew Kidd, who
has been confined to the house for some
time was attacked by heart disease, to
which he has lately been subject on Sunday
night, and died in few minutes space OF
time. He had just passed the anniversary
of his 10Th year. Few men in our midst
were better known and respected than our
departed friend. His whole life since he
attained the age of manhood has been
passed in active business pursuits, always
10 bo found at his post, toiling on, until
age and bodily infirmity forced him reluc,,
antlY to retire.
