For want ofsomeshing to inter-
est your readers we have been tao.
it for sometime.
The farmers here are into their
hay harvest which will be the
most abundant we have nau for
some years, we are told that the
wheat crop will be about an aver
age one. In some localities the
peach crop will be large; the APP
pie crop viii not be as large as
anticipated, and small fruits will
be scarce.
Your Shanghai correspondent,
p. j., in speaking OF the bridge
over Back Creek at this point,
does the contractor for the stone
work Mr.. Buxton) aud the build
ing committee great Injustice in
his statement OF the condition OF
the stone work; the work is re-
garded by those who are capable
of judging, TO be a good piece of
mechanism; it might have been
put up with cement, but we sup
pose the county did not think il
necessary, consequently no appro-
priation was made for that pur-
pose. The stone work consists Of
the abutments aud one pier, the
former are as substantial as when
put there AT the time ofth3 break
ing up Of the heavy iceiast spring
a large body Of it banked against
the pier aud ioosened one or Two
stones on the up3er side, bat has

insignificant cost Taking the

Again, be claim for the Shang-
bai Brass band, what they do not
claim for themselves, viz, the boss
band of the county. Our band is
composed Of thirteen members
who play well for the opportuni-
ties they have had, bui there is
not a member In the band who
has the egotism 10 suppose that
they are the band of the county.
Our sister village, Jones Spring,
has band that stands upon a lev
el with the Shanghai band in eve
ry particular.
Your correspondent also STATES
that the band expects to hold a
picnic on the 29th OF June, at the
Gerardstown ford; in thu first
place, the members of the band
are men of too much brain to ap-
point for a picnic in the midst of
harvest, and in the second place
there is no Gerardstown fording
on the creek, that town being sit
uated five miles east from said
creek. O..

A Bad Muse.

w. ]. Muse, of West Newton, Pa. i,
has created an excitement in that
neighborhood by an extraordinary
display of duplicity. He had been
engaged to be married to Miss Mag
gle Paul, but suddenly turned his
attention to the daughter of Col.
William Douglass, of Elizabeth
township. He was married to the
latter lady ten days ago, and after
staying with her ten days, he bor-
rowed $500 from his wife and her
brother. He returned to his first
love, who, not having heard of his
marriage, was reconciled and agreed
to the marriage he proposed. They
went off together, but it is not
known that he committed bigamy
by a second marriage.

The "pilgrinls'' at Martins

WHY THEY WITHDREW FROM THE
UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH.


WHY THEY WITHDREW FROM THE
UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH.
From the Washington Post.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE poST: |
see in your paper of June 16 an arti-
Gle entitled "Pilgrims in West Vir-
ginia," in which is described the or
ganization of Congressional church
the people going iuto the new organ
ization, having withdrawn from the
United Brethren church of this
place. In giving the cause of their
withdrawal theirs Is an erroneous
statement, a part of which / quote
as follows: "Some months ago q
large body ia the United Brethren
church Of this town, becoming dis
satisfied with the very rigid rules
obtaining in their order, chiefly in
regard to secret societies, formally
withdrew, etc, etc" This is, to say
the least Of it, very strange talk to
one who knows the facts in the case.
Its a fact, OF which | am not
ashamed, that we have q law forbid.
ding any OF our members to hold
membership in any Of these so. call
ed secret societies. Only three years
ago some of the leading men now in
the new organization, positively de-
clared that they would not support
any minister sent here who would
not see that this law was executed:
and they acted rashly towards some
who had violated this law. Anoth-
er one OF their leading men who
came into the United Brethren
church, since that time, renowned
Free Masonry as inconsistent for
Christian to hold connection with.
After they withdrew from this con-
gregation, they claimed to be in full
sympathy with the doctrines and
laws OF the United Brethren church,
and asked to be recognized as a sep
crate congregation Of the United
Brethren, but when the conference
refused them this kind of recogni-
ton, they soon lost their love for
their former church and fell in love
with the Congregational church.
The cause Of their withdrawal, In a
nutshell, is that one Of their num-
Der was expelled for disorderly, and
/ may make it in stronger language
by saying, immoral conduct. Hence
the organization Of the "Pilgrims, =
in this town. SO far, the deeds of
these Pilgrim Sons have not been so
heroic as.those of the Pilgrim Faith
ers. We were not opposed to their
being organized into % Congrega-
tional church, for we had relinquish-
ed all claims upon them. | am far
from loving this kind of controver-
sy, but dislike Misrepresentation
Yours, for that which is just and
right, /. M. UNDERWOOD.

Arrival Of Ennigrants.

The Steamer Alexandria brought Ia
this place, on last Tuesday, twenty.
nine Belgian enigrants, who viii locate
on the "Lohi' plantation in this parish.
They were induced to come to America
by conntrymrn who have been several
years in this parish, and who have beer,
remarkably successful in farming. The
thrift which Is characteristic Of these
people, render them valuable acanisi-
ton TO nnr section, and we hope to see
tho population Of our parish receive
large accessions of emigrants within the
next few years, who are possessed Of
such energy aud industry as distinguish
the German population that have done
