DEATHS

pEA lHS
Our little town was visited with four
deaths inside of thirty hours, on Friday and
Friday night, of last week, viz Mrs. Kate
Spence, daughter of Mr.. John George, ST.:
the disease was supposed to be enlargement
of the liver, but post mortem examination
by DIR. 7. b. Housekeeper discovered two
Jumps or hard substances which had grown
in the channels between the liver and
stomach W hich prevented the action OF the
former, consequently death insued. Two
others were the little sons of DIR. L. y.
Worrall, and Mr.. Frank Bennett, each
about ten months old, and the other a
fourth daughter of Mr. Robert Rccdy, aged
two years. The children, we understand,
died of cholera nfantum. The funeral obse-
uueS of the three We're performed by Rev.
w. l.. :. Murray, and that of Mr.. Robert
Rrcdy's child by Rev. +. X. Miller On
Monday last George CARLY lost a child OF
about one year of age; disease, cholera in e
fantum. But the most distressing event
which has presented itself to our people for
some time past is that of the death Of Col.
b. S. Ford whose remains were conveyed to
this place on Monday last, via railroad from
Ocean City, Md. The particulars Of whose
death of course will appear i'll the columns
of Tie Wig to-day. We have known Mr..
Ford for many years and when but child
he could stand up i'll the Sabbath school
celebration and rehearse his lessons equal to
the most expert of double his years. From
Wood up he WAS the image of intelligence
and usefulness; but alas death has cut him
down like the monday flower i'll the bloom
of manhood surely " In the midst of life
we are in death" His remains We're inferred
in the NJ. +. cemetery, from the residence
of his brother DR.. S. Ford, of this place
The funeral services We're performed by Rev
j. Is. Quigs, assisted by Revs. w. l.. 5.
Murray, T. S. Thomas and y. Browne, of
Port Deposit. Mr.. Quigg gave an impress
sive and interesting discourse from the text
Dcut $40. The funeral was largely attend
ed, among whom We're a number of distiu-
guished gentlemen from abroad.
INFANT BAPTISM.
On Sabbath last Rev. w. l.. $. Murray
gave quite an elaborate discourse on infant
baptism, which was appreciated 10y a
number of his hearers
Dr. " b. Morrisson's store house, in this
place. was discovered to be on fire, on Mon
day last, but by the energy and perseverance
of the neighbprs the fire was eXtin-
guiShcd. The lower story was occupied by
Andrew Gibney & Son As an ice creamery,
confectionery and bakery. The oven was
excessively heated at the time and the sup
position is spark from thechimney ignited
the roof. George Moore, ESP, occupied the
second story a tailoring and clothing
emporium. Fortunately for Mr.. Moore he
had just moved the majority of his goods
into the store room opposite the NJ. +.
Church, or his loss would have been more
! serious. The fire hi. necessitatcd al intire
new roof, also new ceiling on the upper story.
