Last Sunday we had the pleasure o!
listening to sermon written by Rev. E.
F. Quincy, the first pastor Of the Baptist
church Of this city. The church
was organized in the winter Of SO,
and the meetings were held in the resi-.
dence owned and occupied by Mrs. Lev.
erich and family, situated on the same
block where b. F.. Jones now resides
Rev. Quincy, was a faithful pastor, be.
loved not only BY his people, but by all
who knew him, and Rev. Belden, who
gave Us the sermon, which was on family
religion, had many earnest listeners
among the old settlers.
Michael Farrell, OF the town OF
Newry, is an honest man. HE struck q
match when none but himself and God
was Nigh" making a beautiful fire from
\ dry straw pile upon his premises. He
soon after saw that little match had
kindled great flre-and burned down a
setting Of four stacks of wheat for his
neighbor, John johnson. The neighbor
knew not who had done this wicked
thing, but Michael made confession. and
also notwithstanding his neighbor to
come over and take four stacks Of hie
wheat which was still unthreshed. An
act to remember, and an example to fol.
low.

the party Of loyalty, liberty, honesty and

sverable, and the ability displayed In his
speech, together with his fair and gentle.
manly treatment Of his enemies, made

NEXT TUESDAY.

Before our next publication day all
voters of the North who care to do so,
and the Democratic voters of the
South will have expressed by their bal
lots their preference for the political
party they would have shape the poll
cy of the Government during the next
four years. Wade Hampton pledges
the support of solid South to Han
cock, and it is to be hoped by all
friends of humanity and good govern
ment that solid North viii pronounce
for Garfield. The South, through its
representatives, has challenged the
North on the issue of sectionalism and
the challenge should be met by Wig
orous response from a solid North.
The success of the Republican party
next Tuesday is fully as necessary to
the welfare of the country as was the
success of the Union cause in 1875.
All who were loyal to the Union dur
ing the rebellion should keep this fact
in view

A few days ago we had the pleasure

best house in this neighborhood. We
hope that he and his family may
spend many happy years therein.
