CORRECTION Messrs. Editors Il desire to cor
rect an article which appeared in your paper
last week, which stated that Miss Alice Jean
and her school donated sundry articles for
the relief of poor family near Randallstown, few
weeks ago. The poor family referred to live about
foar and a half miles from Randdlistoun, on the
White Ground. The neighbors ascertaining their
distress, determined to solicit donations for their
relief, and started out on their errands of mercy.
Among the donatoTs were the families of Mr. Mar
tin Jean, Mr.. Israel Timanus, Mr.. j. George, Mr..
Emmart and many other residents of the neigh
borhood. The articles taken to the residence
of Mr.. Emory Zimmerman, who took them in his
wagon to the family in question 1t was certainly
a very kind act, and l believe in giving to erery
one his due. Miss Jean took an active part in the
affair." did many other young ladies and gentle
men, but as far as learn the school had little
to do with it. Y.
[Our information was obtained from a person
living in the I'd district, and we are sure he did
not misstate the case through any desire to do in
justice to any who participated in the commenda-
BILE affair.-EDs UNION.

A CENrENNARIAv-M Susan MARITIME, resid-
ing with a son, near Baltimore Md, is in her one
hundred and third year. Notwithstanding her
great age. she is remarkably vigorous in body and
mind. She sews without the use of spectacles, and
frequently rides in carriage with her son into
Baltimore a distance of six miles, Last fall she
went out nutting with some of her grandchildren,
and was the most successful "nuttist" in the party.
Because of her unusual vigor, doubts were enter
tanned as to her age. These doubts have been set
at rest upon examination of the baptsmal record
of St. Matthews Lutheran Church, of our town,
Mrs. MARITIME having been born in Hanover on the
9Th of October, 1875. Her parents were Frederick
and Salome Oyler.-Hanover { Pa.) Spectator.

HARTFORD ROAD ITEMs.-Lirely Time at Ball
-Christnas-PuJlic Sale, Gc.-A short time ago
an oyster supper and ball was held at the Nine
Mile House, on this road, Mr.. Wm Hughes, pro-
prietor. A great number of tickets were sent out
and the company was large. Soon after the dane

frightened all ran out of the house fearing the fight
would result seriously. A number of the more
thoughtful persons present came to the rescue and
quelled the disturbance after which the festivities
progressed to the end pleasantly. Since the ball
Mr.. Hughes has been trying to get the names OF
the instgators Of the row with a view to having
them indicted by the next Grand Jury.
Christmas passed off very quietly in this vicin-
ty There was some little disorder on the lower
part of the road near the city limits, caused by
too free use of the "arden" but serious results
followed.
There is great abundance of ice on the ponds
in this section, and butchers and others have been
busy filling their houses If all are not supplied
it will be their own fault
A public sale of stock, &C., took place on the
Loney farm Occupied by Mr.. George Stevenson
few days ago, and the prices obtained were good,

Some of your neighbors attended and | am con-

that many take the UNION who get no other paper.

From WAvERLY.- Temperance Meeting Watch
Meefing-.Stereo-P nopticon-SSckness- Week OF
Proper Worerly, &c.-0n Friday night the 9th
ult, we had another exceedingly interesting tenn
perance meeting in the Methodist church. twas
opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Barker ofthe Bar-
ti,t church, who supplemented it with neat, APP
proprintc and laconic address which was well re-
ceived. lie is venerable looking gentleman of
some three score and ten years, with long white
beard and complacent face He was followed by
the Rev. Mr.. Rice Of your town, young Boaner-
ges in the cause who discoursed sentiment, both
pthy and demonstrative Some of the friends
from Towsontown gave some good specimens of
fine singing. The verdict of the large and appre-
ciate audience is "more anon"
A watch meeting was held in the same church
the 3lst. beginning at 10 p. m, and closing at
1918. A good sermon was preached by Rev. Mr..
Barker. and the services conducted by Rev. Mr..
Myers the pastor. The audience was mostly com
posed Of the fairer sex, who are always foremost
in all that is good. The services were very solemn
and impressive. On their knees they sang out the
old wear and ushered in the new with prayer and
thanksgiving.
We people of Waverly are little like the old
Athcnians who loved "to tell or hear something
new" Now we are to have rare entertainment
on Tuesday the 14th inst, of the stereo-panopti-
con. There will be a beautiful exhibition ofscrip-
ture scenes by new scioptician, the enterprising
Mr. John I. Diehunt. 1t is for the benefit Of
the Methodist Sunday school, and to be had in the
basement of the Methodist church. We suspect
there will be some comedy at the close.
The much dreaded diphtheria has abated in our
midst, but not without fatally attacking some of
our most promising children. Mr. James McAfee
lost a lovely daughter in her tenth year. This
family has been sadly afflicted Of nine children
they have buried six within few years, but not
all Of this disease.
We are to have week of prayer in the Baptist
and Methodist churches alternately. 1t will be-
gin next Sabbath night in the Baptist church.
The Methodist church, as already announced, will
be closed and on that night, with Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday, both congregations meet in
the former. The remaining nights of the week,
including Sabbath night the 18th, all meet in the
Methodist church. 1t is rumored here that the
Rev. gentlemen of the Baptist and Methodist
churches, called on Rev. DR.. Richie of the Pro-
testant Episcopal church and invited him to unite.
He declined, saying he could not act without the
consent of his Bishop. How much more like the
gospel and the true church for all christian de-
nominations to unite, at least in prayer They all
profess to be branches of the same tree, and all
claim to have good gospel fruit. That is the best
branch that bears the most good fruit. Sinners
here will not be lost because they do not have the
gospel in its purity. We believe that we are in
the true line Of successiOn-of faith and doctrine

The weekly herald. [volume] (Cleveland, Tenn.) 1876-1888, 1879-10-30

A colored man cunning near Green's
borough, Caroline county, Nd, found a
carriage tightly wedged between two
trees, and between the shafts the bones
OF n horse with the harness. The car
riage and harness we're recognized as
having belonged to John b. Mandrell.--
The horse and carriage we're stolen dur
ing the camp meeting ct oakland. 1t is
supposed that the thieves, being hard
pressed by their pursuers, drove Off of
the road and into the woods to escape
being captured, and then either killed
the horse or fastened him and left him
to starye to death.

DO Not GOssiD,

That person Is to be pitied-for what
he lacks by nature or has missed in ex.
perience-who can see the course OF true
love without in his heart giving the
lovers his gladdest benediction. But no
one can give better proof Of a vulgar
taste than by making the love affairs of
other people the subject Of fippant or
familiar talk, especially in their pres.
enc Filtration that has no heart in it,
and puppyish love-making hat has no
head in it, are entitled to no special con-
sideration. But any true attraction be.
tween o young man and young woman
30 touches the hottest experience of life,
that none but rude hands will tear the
vail away from it, or drag it from its
privacy into Cycling gossip. We abom-
mate the gushing people who wea their
hearts on their sleeves, but we too Of
ten seem to think it quite the thing to
lay hold of the sensitive friendship that
we see blossoming into love, and toss it
up in conversation, and joke about it,
as if it were Just as fit a target for the
town talk as a cattle trade, or a concert,
or q lawsuit. Such treatment Of love
affairs tends to drive them out Of the
wholesome sunlight of family and neigh
borly life into all sorts of hiding places
that are not good for them.

Girls at a Discount in India.

Infanticide is still common in India,
according to q m%issionary's letter in the
Observer, Notwithstanding the efforts of
a special judicial department created to
suppress it. He says as the result Of
his personal observation: Only girls
are murdered. The infant is destroyed
in the room where it is born, and then
is buried under the floor of the same
room. On the thirteenth day the
village priest calls, and cooks and eats
his food in the same room. This is con-
sidered a burnt offering, and by this
act the priest takes all the sin of the
murder upon his own soul, and the
family is free from it. As soon as the
baby is born its mouth is filled with the
milk of the shrub aselipias gigantea,
and then il is plastered over with mud.
Respiration is impossible. When the
first girl baby is wrenched away in this
brutal amer the mother cries and
moa and grieves a good deal, but after
having lost two or three, she gets used
to it and makes no resistance. After
the murder and burial and burnt offer.
ing, the parents again occupy the room
and receive guests in it as usual Tho
requirement of q dowry in order
to marry of n daughter is the chief rea-
son for the practice.

Life in Egypt.

In some portions of Egypt the women
are not allowed TO go out of doors, and
many Of them e get beyond the
walls of their houses. The COWS sleep
in the same huts with thepeople. These
huts are made of mud, without windows,
and the doors are so small that the won
der is how the people get in. They do
hot wash their babies till they are a year
old, because it is considered unlucBy to
do so. They rarely comb their hair
from month to month. Their chief meal
is at sunset; the rest of the time they
eat at a piece of bread when they are
hungry. They never use plates or
knives or forks. All sit around the table
on the floor. Bread is their daily food,
and each family makes for itself, as it is
a kind of disgrace to buy street bread.
The women clean the corn and carry it
on their heads to mill. It is made into
thin, small cakes, stuck against the side
OF an oven, and baked in less than a
minute. A hundred loaves are not too
many for a family OF four in q week.
Travellers are usually expected to eat
three loaves apiece. They make butter
in a strange way. A goatskin half filed
with milk is hung on a peg, and then a
woman, taking hold Of a long string tied
to it, jerks it to and fro till the butter
comes. Then she drains it, but never
washes or salts it. Their f~avorite dish
is rice cooked with this butter.

The new wool goods are pliable and
OF light weight, yet give the effect Of

Dresses for receptions, dinners and

oddity such as Partisan taste has v
approached before. Shapes, stuffs and

French fashion, and its temerity seems
to have reached the limits which D
rate it from extravaganza.
