On Friday last, at the solici!aio Of
our genial pedagogue. we accompanied
him on an excursion to the newly named
village of Wicomjco. After ride of
neary 81 hours over the rough and miry
roads of that section, we arrived at length,
complete smash up, in much patched We
hicle at our destina' ion. The cordia hos
pitality we net with at the end, however,
amply repaid for al inconvenience suf-
fered on the road, and our wet skin and
benumbed limbs were soon in their pro-
per and normal condition under the be-
nign influence of one of Mr. Stewards
finely concocted cure alls. The village of
Wicomico has become, under Mr.. J. E
Norris able and energetic management
one of the most thriving and prosperous
business centres -. the county. He has
in full operation every brahch of industry
that is necessary ter The farmer in the dali
advertises in the TINES, we are sure con-
tinued prosperity will attend him. We
cannot say that We were much proposes
ed with the situation of the country abou
Wicomicn, as it presents dead level fat,
with only an occasional bunch of tall pine
tees to relieve the monotony of the land
scape. We heard, however, that along the
river, which was only short distance off,
the scenery is very fine, and at some points
u magnificent view is presented. AS our
stay was necessarily sh5rt, We were unab e
to visit these places, though, as W are a
great lover of nature, we should dearly
liked to have done 50. We will pay an
other visit, in the near future, to this most
hospitable neighborhood and spend a
longer time and see all there is to admire
both OF natures scenery and facial express
sion We heard while there that the
steam mill of Capt. I. H. Ching had been
disposed of by him to Messrs Swami and
Lathron ter 81, AGO.

Much Shocked.

On Tuesday last as one of our staid
citizens from the lever section of the coun-
ty was riding into town, his attention was
suddenly attracted by rather q singular
object approaching him. At first he was
a loss TO account for it, but a nearer
view showed it to be dusky female rid
ing la male. Tbs was too much for the
modesiy Of our citizen, and he began to
demonstrate with the dusky equestrienne
at her unseemy way of riding, but was
cut short in his lecture by a long string OF
adjectives, more suggestive than elegant'
hurled at him by the aforesaid damsel.-
He hastily drove on, and says that il they
ride on their heads cor the future, he will
not say word to them.

About POrkerS.

We had an EN- some weeks ago
abou, heavy weight porker, killed by
Hon. A. 6. Chapman. This elected from
a subscriber, at Brook yn, Iowa, a letter
in which be s,ys: IL see in yerr paper
that Gen. Chapman killed porker weigh
ing 400 pounds. You did not say how
cd the hog was. My nsighbor, W. II.
Wheeler, recently killei two porkers-
one weighed $50, and the other 500
pounds. They were of the Poland China
breed, and two years old E" This is on,
in Iowa, ard the great West is always
ahead" in the mater of porkers. ",
l>arn, too, that Mr.. John w. Waring, oi
Pomonkey, is also ahead of the General
in the matter of porkers- Mr.. Warins
informs US that he killed Berkshire SOW
recently, two years cd, weighing 40. and
several shoes at nige months. weighing
Us pounds and shereabout. So the Gen
eral is beaten both at home and abroad
but the General is a Congressman and he
can afford to be cutdone in the matter OF
porkers

More Small Pox.

Another case of small pox is reported
in he same neighhorhood as one mention
ed by US last week. and it is necessary for
US to renew our caution to the people to
use every endeavoI to- prevent the spread
OF The disease. II is as yet confined TO the
colored race, but is liable at any time TO
be transmitted by them to others. We
all know The habits and thongh'lessness
of this class. and it becomes necessary to
be cautious in our dealing with them
Many of them would 60 for idle curiosity
or from kind hcartedness to the house of
the sick person and then s'raightway came
to our houses without thinking of the
danger to themselves and Others Il is
therefore, well to question all your ser
wants before admitting them into your
household. By proper precaution and
care the disease may he checked in our
thinly settled community in the embryo.

Marriages and Dea tbs.

We would respectful ly solicit our
subscribers to send US accounts OF all
marriages and deaths that happen in their
vicinity. These i;cms of news are always
read with The most interest. They are
important events. Marriage makes new
era in ones life. Death on the contrary,
marks the end of life and takes from US
ftmiliar faces of hose we love and esteem.
A record Of these important events that
daily happen around us is. therefor highly
interesting, and should be kept up COM
plete. This can emily Ice done by the friends
. lie parties concerned furnishing the
news to the printer.

Sheep in the Fall.

It is the experience of old sheep men
that sheep kept in good condition in
the fall we'll, are not only enabled to
stand the winter much better, but
will yield a much better percentage Of
wool the following spring. If the
pasturage has been good they will, by
fall, be in good condition generally
and the owner who keeps them so I'M
til the coming Of winter, will profit at
the business. When the froSts come
and blight the grass, its nutritive quail
titles are so diminished that sheep will
lose flesh, unless a little something
extra is given them. \ little grain.

subsistence of seven miles during the
progress of the Paleozoic ages.
But, despite the retrogressive move
ments, the continents greeo. There was
still steady progress. On the whole the
upward movement preponderated over
the movement of depression, until the
continents assumed the proportions which
now belong to them. So it has been
with Christianity. Like small speck,
amid the Paganism of the ancient world,
the infant church first appeared above
the waters in Jud@a and Asia Minor.
Slowly the uplift continued, and we mark
its outlines in Europe and Africa as well
as in Asia By the year 800 its areas had
become greatly extended the church had
assumed continental proportions, and the
waters appeared to have been efectually
driven back. But period of darkness
long period of set6neergeaece-followed.
Again, at the Reformation we witness
another mighty upheaval. So the geolo-
gists tell us that the Tertiary period wit
messed the uplift of the Rocky and the
Himalaya Mountains in America and
Asia, and of the Alps, the Pyrenees, the
Apennines, and the Carpathians in Eu-
rope.
Then we have a subsistence again.
Clouds spread again over the church in
Germany, in France, in England. In the
18th century we have the arid reign OF
Modernism in the Church of Scotland.
Then comes the Second Reformation in
England-the rise of English Methodism.
In the North, Chalmers and other earnest
spirits create the Free Kirk Of Scotland.
And now the beaches which our faith
ers knew have, some of them, sunk be-
meath the waves again. The sea flows
over many an ancient landmark 1t is
only temporary.
