all OF shades. He was twice elected
county commissioners when very
young over strong opposition; and
in the direct line for an election to
the Legislature, not only prominent,
but leader of his party, but not q
boss. He was by concession the man,
and pride of the family, but quickly
cut down in middle life. Only 40
years old. Greatly missed indeed.
He was in good condition in every
way. In business, a hotel keeper and
farmer combined. Of a charming
June day In 1851, the writer was
summoned to the sick bed to prepare
his will (the first in his then exper-
fence but one). The solemn paper
was calmly signed with the remark {:
"This is the last act of Peter Yeast"
and so 1t was, as the next day he
suffocated with dropsy of the heart.
This brief tribute comes most will
ingly and even gladly, from friend
to friend. Not trace of any feeling

The New NJ. E. Church Bell.

Sunday morning last at the M. E.
Church was very pleasant occasion,
and the services were OF very inter-
esting character. Rev. G. p. Masden,
of st. Louis, delivered very fine and
eloquent sermon, and at its conclu-
sion, the bell which was pur hased for
the church was formally presented
by the donor, Doctor j. Lee McCom-
as. He was unable to be present in
person, in consequence of professional
engagements, and made the presen-
tation by letter, it being read by Rev.
]. M. Davis.
10 the Trustees and Members Of the
Methodist EDiscopal Church, Oak
land, Maryland:
Believing that the ringing of Sab
bath bells, calling the faithful to
worship and sinners to repentance,
would be an acceptable offering to
your congregation, and gratifying to
the citizens of our town, | present, in
the spirit of christian charity, bell
with the name of the donor and of the
church and the date of the gift in
scribed thereon, as an humble tribute
to the glory of God, and testimonial
of my reliance on Him; hoping, at
the same time, ii may supply long
needed want and that its every peal
may grave" upon the heart of its
hearers, like the engravings of a

With my best wishes, l am very
truly your fellow townsman and most
obedient servant.
J. LEE MCCOMAs.
1t was accepted on the part of the
trustees and church in a few well
chosen words by the pastor, Rev. S.
E, Jones, who also offered the follow
ing resolution which was adopted:
Resolved, That we, the trustees.
members, and congregation of the
M. E. Church of Oakland. Md, do
hereby express our great appreciation
of the kindness shown us and the
benefit conferred upon the commu-
nifty by DR.. j. Lee McComas in the
presentation of a fine bell for our
church ; and that we tender to him
our thanks for his Literally and we
pray that God, to whom this gift is
dedicated, may bless the giver with
temporal prosperity in health and
estate, and with the infinitely more
valuable spiritual riches of Divine
grace and eternal salvation.
To prepare the church for the re-
ception and use of the bell. it became
necessary to erect belfry, which
was completed last week, and In do
ing this, and painting and improving
thu church to correspond, an expense
of over $3.50 was incurred, and of this
amount 5000 had to he raised. Rev.
John Thompson, of Philadelphia, was
given charge of this part of the exer-
cisees. and with the assistance of
Revs. Masden, Jones and Davis, he
in short time succeeded in OBJ
tanning considerably more than the
amountneeded. the congregation con-
