of Baltimore, on the advantages of Baltimore
city as medical centre. DIR. yanBibber is inteli-
gent and observing, and with all the advantages
of study and of travel abroad has obtained a full
knowledge of his subject. He adyerts 10 the
Importance, in sanitary point of view, ofpromo-
ting the physical health ofthe rising gene ration

note when he mentions the great advantages of
the medical department of Johns Hopkins Uni
yersity, as prominently the school for educating
men TO the highest medical standard, who are
presumed to be the proper custodians of the
public health-a glaring defect existing as the
result of the present facilities for obtaining not
medical eduction, but license to practice
DR. VanBibber dwells with much emphasis on
the important subject of the proper treatment
of the insane. He condemns the present system
as failing to show satisfactory results in the class
of the durable insane. For this class the Shep-

The City Council and other city officers of Will

Susquehanna flats where immense quantities of
ducks are slaughtered during the winter months,
and the stores of Havrc de Grace furnish the
sportsmcn with all the requisites for pursuing
their interesting and exciting nvocaton The
fishing interests of the place are also very cXten-
sive, immense fishing shores being located with
in distance III a few miles on the North East
and Silsqnrlanna rivers. Fishing materials and
provisions for the employees of the shores are
procured from the stores in Iiavre.
''ln addition the town being situated right at
the head of Chesapeake Bay, which is formed by
the confluence Of the Susquehanna, North East
and Elk rivers, is made an extensive shipping
point, hundreds of steam and sailing vessels and
bargcs stopping at its wharves, and frequently
laying up during the winter. The furnishing of
ship stores for these craft forms quite an impor-
tant item of the business of the town.
"The lumber and oyster packing business is
also carried on quite extensively. Altogether
the town proved complete surprise to most of
those who stopped there on Tuesday, and they
enjoyed the tour of observation very much
The Mayor of Havre de Grace received their
hearty thanks for his kindness"

Abingdon Sunday School Affairs

The Sunday School at this place has not been
very largely attended for several years but the
efforts of the Christian people have finally sue
ceeded in making Interesting. Late last fall the
school closed for the winter and on the opening of
spring was reorganized. The officers were chosen
as follows: Superintendent, w. Il. Eltonhead :;
Secretary, James Wilson; Treasurer, Miss Katie
Cunningham Librarian, G. c. Mousdalc; Organ
list, Miss Rosa Swartz.
To make Il Sabbath School attractive good
library is Indispensable. For many years the
school has been destitute of this but last year the
teachers of the school, seeing its importance, pro-
cured number of books, which prove the
righteousness of the selection by the growth of
school, The attendance has gradually increased
and the scholars now number about sixty. Since
the organization took place the officers have been
very active and their work is cominendable. A
number of song books have been bought by them,
also the Borean Question Book introduced, which
is an excellent guide in searching the Scriptures
and large map of Palestine.
A short time ago the school was highly gratifed
by the presentation of an organ cover, given by
Mr.. w. j. II. Walters, of Baltimore. Thanks
were voted by the school to Mr.. Walters for this
act of kindness, and we assure HIM that such gifts
will always be accepted.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION,
which met in Frederick city, last week. had a
stormy time. Contrary to expectation the
Grant men carried theday elccting it is claim
ed, nine out ofsixteen delegates to the Chicago
convention. Another statement gives Grant
6, Sherman G, and Blaine d. That the feeling
in the convention was for Grant, was shown
when Mr.. Creswcll declared "that no power
on earth could put General Grant down.
AT this there was spontaneous and continued
outbreak of applause A resolution oppos-
ing third term for any one was laid on the
table by large majority The Grant men,
however, permitted the passage of resolution
requesting the delegates TO use all honorable
means for the nomination of Blaine. As this
resolution amounted 10 nothing il was passed
almost unanimously. Altogether the Repub.
lican party in Maryland is not very happy
family. The Blaine men, who constitute a
majority ofthe Republican voters ofthc State,
were no match for the Grant leaders, who
are veterans in the art ofmanaging primaries
and conventions.
