ceiving the new casting and getting it into posi-

| Our new Hall is again under way and will
shortly be ready for roofing. Some delay wa.
caused in waiting for the iron girders supporting
the third floor over the main hail. but they are
now in place and the brick work nearly finished
This building will fill want long felt here and
no doubt pay handsome profit on the invest
ment.

under way, ON Sycamore street, and from appear
ances will be ready for use about Christmas

rooms, library of religious and other books.
The revival which has for some time been in
progress at the Hampden M. p. church is still
progressing and seems to lose none of its interest
to the crowds who nightly throng the edifce.
About 100 sinners have already found consolation
within its walls during the present revival.
The rambling frolics of summer, when pic-nics
and ice cream, with some loved one at your side,
meath the shade of Loeb Raven and Pen-Mar, or
sailing over the waters of our beautiful Chesa-
peake, having been superseded by the frosts of
November, brings us back to our winter amuse-
ments, when beneath the glare of gaily lit halls
we trip the light fantastic toe in the pleasant
dance, or sit ourselves down to we-laden table,
in some of the same halls and order (by virtue of
ticket for which we pay so cts.) fry, or stew,
scolloped or raw oysters.
The first here to lead off with oyster suppers
is Bias Conclave of Heptasophs or S. W. NJ, who
hold forth on Nov. oath, at Benson's hall. We
expect to be there and shall not fail to have
charmer with us.

and papas is something new here. 1t is announc-

in Mt Vernon hall on Dec %, and promises to
be not only grand but select affair.
Peter Davis, the young man injured by the
bursting of a coal-oi lamp here last week. is i'm
proving rapidly.
A young child, two years old, of Edward F..
Kelley, of this place, on Saturday night last,
caught the table cover and pulled it and coal
oil lamp from the table, The lamp was broken by
the fall and igniting the carpet, the room was
soon in blaze. Mr.. Kelly, with presence of
mind, jerked up the carpet and threw it out the
window into an alley at the side of the house,
where the flames were smothered. GRAPE.
From Philopolis, 9th District.-Now that
the election is over matters in the line of politics
have quoted down. Some regret that they were
not little more active, in order to have gained
the necessary votes to elect the Republican nomi-
nees. 1t is evident that Judge Yellott received
about 400 Republican votes, which secured his
election. Our first precinct, usually Democratic,
so worked that it gave So majority for Mr..
Blair Considerable interest manifested by
both parties.
At Jessop's church on Sunday morning last
Rev. J. N. Davis preached most interesting and
earnest sermon on the work of God, the creation
of all things, they being upheld by his power, and
what exists being intended for mans greatest
good. He dwelt upon the effect of sin, especially
upon man, who is the greatest of all creation, he
being Godlike and eoquently referred to the work
Of Christ in restoring nan to his true relation to
his Maker, and of the greatness of redemption
Services was also held at night, large congIega-
tons being present. The meeting has progressed

The sad intelligence reached the 18th of
the death of Mr. Harry Miles, son of the late

His death occurred at Rio Grand City, Mexico,
vice. Several years ago he graduated at the State
Normal School, and for short time engaged
in teaching. He afterwards entered the Signal

man of great promise. He leaves wife to mourn
her loss.
Mrs. Elias Matthews had the misfortune to fall
a few days ago and fracture her knee-cap. She
is entirely helpless and suffers very much.
Mr.. Charles Canap, living on Capt. Thos Loves
property, has lately been seriously afflicted. He
lost his mind and becoming uncomfortable had to
be removed from home. He was very ipdustri-
Gus man and hard work and exposure is thought
to have been the cause of the trouble Mr.. Canap
lost one arm some years ago, but notwithstanding
this he did his work about well as if he had two
arms, being able to cradle and bind wheat almost
as we'll as others. He has wife and three chill
dren. Expressions of sympathy are general and
his recovery hoped for.

From Gardenville, 18th Distribution
Saturday night last quite number of persons at
tending Beair market had their wagons robbed,
while they were standing on Hillen street. during
and after market hours In two instances horses
and wagons were driven off and li1ed of their
contents, including barrel ofhour groceries, &c.
One man had purchased Sl4 worth of dry goods
and groceries and stopped to transact some bust
ness, giving colored man 25 cents to mind his
horse When he returned the team was gone.
The police afterwards found it on the Belair lot,
the horse unhitched and tied to the wagon, which
was empty. Another man lost lot of meat from
the front of his wagon, and lady had her shawl
stolen, both during market hours Your cores
pendent was not forgotten. Leaving my horse at
the head of the market for few minutes,
turning carriage whip and horse blanket were
missing. The police will be ON the lookout next
Saturday night.
The gardeners are very busy and the sea-
son being fine all the work ofplantng cabbage,
lettuce, &C., can be finished in good time. Headed
cabbage are being buried, turnips pitted and
celery hilled up for winter. The latter crop is
very fine this season, the stalks being unusually
large. Our section of the district is we'll adapted
to the growth of this vegetable, having so many
streams running through it, which makes the
ground suitable for the crop.
The corn is now mostly husked and housed and
the crop is fair. There have been very few large
husking matches, as formerly, all preferring to
get the crop in in small quantities, so to allow
the corn 10 ury out before IL is put III large lOs
We have lately been very much troubled by gun
ners from the city, who kill rabbits, cartridges
and all the game they can find. They appear to
have no respect for any one, and think they can
go where they please and do exactly as they want.
When ordered off they are often impudent and
some times abusive. When the owners ofprOperty
have finished their fall work and feel like engaging
in a few days hunt, there is nothing left for them
to shoot. The children who have traps set often
have them broken up. M. A. X.
From Wesley Chapel, 10th District
Mr.. Luther Sutton was engaged in husking corn
few days ago when he was somewhat startled
by the report of a gun or pistol near him, follow
ed by the squealing of hog. He started to
learn the cause and had not gone far before he
saw man, with his back towards him, apparent
ly struggling with something on the ground and
at the same time heard the squealng of the hog,
which, however, was growing fainter and fainter.
He approached nearer and to his surprise found
the man to be big colored fellow known as "Big
SAM" who had one of his (Sutton's) fattening
hogs ON the ground, trying to choke the life out
