Letter from ITrcdcrica.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Th Preachers Association of Dover
District was in session in Frederick, on Tuesday
Wednesday and Thursday Of last week. The attend
ance of preachers was very SMALL there being only
eleven or twelve here. The Association opened on
Tuesday evening with p T. Todd in the chair; prayer
was offered by Rev. w. L. England, after which,
sermon was delivered by Rev. X. C. Jones.
on Wednesday morning an essay was read by Rev.
Pulpit power and how they are to be attained" The
essay was very fOrcble one, all of the Reverend
gentemans productions are and delivered in his
usual quaint style. In the afternoon the character
of Baalam was criticised and nearly all engaged in
the discussion without arriving at any satisfactory
conclusion, except that Baalam did take ride. In
the evening the question Should the Bible be used
in the Public Schools" was discussed by Rev J. S.
Wills ahd a. GaSsner the former taElng the aihrnla-
tive, the latter the negative. Mr. Willis supported his
position with such power and sharp witticisms that
some of the other brethren had to come to the assist
ance of the other brother but it of avail for
Willis was not to be defeated; he came in on the
home stretch ahead, and left the floor with flying
colorS.
On Thursday morning an essay Nature and Office
of conscience, was read by Rev. E. L. Hubbard: the
essay considered masterpiece in ITSELF but the
style in which it read by the auhor added to
it to it to be considered the essay of the AsSo
citation. Mr.. Hubbard is very pleasant, forcible and
at times very eloquent speaker; he has the rare
power of swaying his hearers to and fro like leaves of
the forest before the Zephyrs of evening We predict

by Reys. J. B, Quigg and r: W. Todd; In the evening
a Sunday School Convention was held, which was
presided over by our worthy and efficient Supernten
dent, p T. Carlisle. An address was made by Rev. j.
NJ Lindale after which several resolutions were read
and adopted. The Association adjourned to meet al
Harrington about the first of December. On Friday
morning all bid adieux to Frederick except one; he

For the Smyrna Times
Letter from Dover.

Mr. EDITOR II hope that no one will think it an
imprOpriey in me to express in this public way the
very pleasant feelings which the visit of your
little Smyrna people has left among in Dover.
The sound of their voices has hardly died away and
they are yet seeking the quiet of their faraway
homes as sit down to recall and record some of the
To me it was one of the prettest things that have
seen and have not spent evening dny1chere more
agreeaby How could those young heads carry SO
much? Their parts were well sustained, not only
throughout the singing and marching, but in the
thousand and one little movements that give life to
any performance. No hesitation, no delays no mis-
takes. All was prompt and brghtand happy. All, Mr..
Editor! there is nothing more beautiful to behold in
this world than childlike children in action And to
your town indebted for such sight; and de-
ightful entertainment full of sweet faces sweet songs
and sweet sentiments.
Among other things seen and appreciated was the
courage displayed in performing in strange place
and before strange audience The parts were every
one carried with case, and some even with a
dignity which old stagers do not acquire The con-
duct too of the children was orderly and elegant n
more mannerly company of young people l never
saw Many of these Juveniles have accordingly left
many admirers in Dover
Much cedit is due to the skill and labor of the
manager, or managers. We were hardly prepared for
anything so fine as the Grand March, and confess to
being taken quite by Storm 1t would hardly he fair
to mention any names when all acquitted themselves
so well.
OF the adult performances I did not propose SO
much to speak Mrs Gritfths singing quite captiva-
ted US of course. OF this her applause was the best
evidence, and Dover audiences not usually very
demOnStTative. When they fairly aroused, they
were tonight, the applause comes down in showers
The CtGtd is beautifully written piece, full of eX
| quisite touches of sentiment and able to stand any
where on its own merits and it is only just to say that
played in Dover by the Smyrna troupe, it was well
presented and is accordingly entitled to be called
and, by general consent Is called grand success We
only hope that your merry pinaiOres think as well
| us as we do of them; and that in this visit we sc
struck their fancy as to make them think pleasantly
Ofus when ever the vsit mentioned. (Confdentally
Mr. EditOrfthe children OftheSe two ghborly towns
agree to agree shall always be of Inind.) I've
give three cheers and one cheer more" for the party
from Smyrna. Thanks to each Of YOU and please ac

There is q person treveling through Pennsylvania
says exchange who has another sharp trick to get
farmers into trouble. In instance he left plow
at farmers with the verbal consent to the pow,
and if not liked to return it. He also left printed
advertisement of its merits. The farmer in looking
over it found notice in due FORM stating that when
trial had been made of the plow the agent must be
notified within two days of it. Many farmers will
never see the notice but will take the advertisement
hecdlessly and then through failure to notify in two
days will be compelled to keep the plow, inasmuch
as the agent can be qualified that the farmer cannot
deny receiving it. Look out for this swindler re-
cent experience in this section with these sharpers
