the shape taken by political affairs just

wrong doing. 1t was presumed that the
number Of candidates in the field would
create such an interest that the full vote
would be polled. But several asprants
came down, and their friends through
chagrin or disappointment did not care to
contribute to the success of others.

been made. II 30. the parties making

On Last Thursday, March 18th, the
children and grand children with few
friends of Mr.. George V. Hasting and
wife, met at their home at kirkwood,
Delaware, to celebrate with them the
fortieth anniversary of their wedding.
1t was complete surprise to Mr.. and
Mrs, Hastings, az they knew nothing Of
their coming until they walked in, car
rying their baskets and parcels. They
took their provisions with them for
they wanted nothing done at home that
would in the least excite their suspi-
cions. After the usual hand shaking
was over, all hands turned out the con-
tents of baskets and parcels and CON-
menced getting dinner; they partook
of Bumptuous repast, and after that
cams the refreshments, when they pre-
Sc nted the couple with large pound
cake with the dates 1889 and 1873
inscribed thereon. They spent very
pleasant day together and parting at
evening wishing them many happy

sudden Death In o Church.

A special to the N. Y. "Herald" from
Baltimore, March l6 says:
A startling tragedy occurred at the
High Street Baptist Church during the
regular services to night. The pastor,
Rev. J. T. Craig, had just baptized a
young lady and the latter accompanied
by Miss Louisa Donaldson, retired to
an ante room below to change her cloth
ing. While in the act Of assisting the
convert Miss Donaldson inquired If she
did not feel purer and more heavenly
after being baptized, and added
81 would like to tell you something,
but"-and before completing the
sentence she fell forward unconscious.
The young lady ran into the church for
her friends and alarmed the congrega-
tion, causing for some moments, almost
a panic. Physicians were sent for, but
as the first one arrived Miss Donaldson
expired. Heart disease is supposed to
have been the cause OF her death.
