COLCHESTER - BIBLE Distribution In
numbering 1892. Three hundred and sixty
four families were found having the Pro-
testant Bible. SO the Donay version, and
233 entirely destitute average destitution

Although the field was more than usually
difficult for this work, it has been carefully
who would receive it. In the various
churches of tie town, 2,iii attend public
worship with some regularity, 500 attend
Sundsy-school, 500 Of whom are under Is
years of age; AIS children under years
old are reported churches are supported,
all having resident pastors. The Bible
Agent who furnishes US with these Stats
ties, adds:
Ii il our desire to induce the most possible
to supply themselves with the word OF God,
believing it to be the power of God unto
salvation" to all who will receive its truth
uncolored, into honest hearts. Says Chan
cellor Kent " The general distribution of
the Bible. is the most eifectual way to
civilize and humanizs mankind to purify
and e1alt the general system of public
morals; to give efficacy to the just pre-
cepts OF all law to enforce the observance
of prudence, temperance, justice and for

When Spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mould,
She then shall dress q sweeter sod

To bless the turf that wraps their clay;

THE NARROW GUAGE RAILROAD
Proposed Change to Broad Gatoge-
an Enterprise that VIII Probably Go
On.-Mr. Steele, Of Pennsylvania, a
civil engineer of considerable note,
has been reviewing during the last ten
days the survey some time since made
of the proposed narrow guage railroad
route from Cumberland to the Georges
Creek valley, via Pompey Smash.
We learn that Mr.. Steele does not
favor the construction of a narrow
guage road, as originally projected,
but will recommend instead the build
ing of the usual broad guage. For
important reasons, such as greater
economy ultimately, increased safety,
and, not the least by any means, the
facility thereby obtained of shipping
directly over railroad outlets from
Cumberland, he will doubtless present
his conclusions with great force and
effect.
The route was found to be about as
well located as the nature of the sur
face will admit, and entirely eligible
for the purpose.
The tonnage pledged to the road is
said to be more than ample to make it
a largely paying enterprise.
Mr.. steeles report. which is expect
ed to be favorable and conclusive, will
be submitted to the projectors at an
early day.
The probability is, therefore, that
a vigorous prosecution of the work
will begin as soon thereafter as prac-
ticable.
