change an old stove for new one.

Mr. George A. Williams, one Of the
most popular business men Of this city,
and perhaps one Of the most enterpris-
ing. left the city a few days ago in
company with Mr. w. Castin, on the
steamer Sue, and stopped at Point
lookout and met with wonderful sue
cess by bringing home the following
game: Sc IN wild turkeys, fifty-three
ducks, two dozen partridges, forty
eight rabbits, and seventy squirrels.
The public should go to the Philadel-
phia House, kept by Messrs. Williams
and Meredith and get good meal OF
this fine and fresh game.
The Rev. Mr.. Carroll. of Asbury
Methodist Church, made a short adj
dress, after the visiting minister had
finished last Sunday evening, that was
sharp very pointed, and had its effect
lie said that it gave the appearance o.
very bad breeding, besides it had much
Of an uncivilized character to it, fol
persons to begin to stampede and leave
the church before the benediction was
pronounced and the services concluded.
We notice that only one person lett
church last Sunday evening before the
last words of the benediction fell from
the pastors lips. 1t is charitable t.
surmlSe that the person that left was
called away by sickness in his family,
if not, then 10y something that comes
within the range Of what Mr.. Carroll
said would be an excuse for a person to
leave the house Of God during worship.
II this mean and ungodlike habit con-
tlnucS, it will be necessary for the
paStort0 call out their names, and our
duty to state the causes and induce
mcnts that prompt persons to act so
ndely in the house Of worship.
