The picnic and festival held at Fissels,
near Seitzland, last Saturday and evening,
was largely attended. There were four bands
present, viz: the Manchester Md Band,
Bonair, Glen Rock and New Freedom Bands.
The bands were not all present at the same
time, however. Everybody seemed to enjoy
themselves when they did arrive. 1t is becom-
ing fashionable to have five or six Tor more, if
possible) bands present at Sunday school

Our farmers are buying their steers for
feeding this winter. They are doubling the
number they fed last winter, since the grain
is plenty and cheap. They do not dispute the
question any longer that buying steers early
is a great advantage, since the pasturage is
cheaper than the grain and answers nearly
the same purpose.
The New Freedom Cornet Band has been
engaged to furnish the music for the Bel Air,

the fourth year they have furnished the music

bands showed opposition, but failed sadly
with their object in view. The people Of

Complimentary Serena,Ie to Hon. Chas.
r. Roberts.

On Thursday night the Westminster Band
rendered a serenade to Hon. Charles b.
Roberts in honor of his nomination for At
torney- General. The Band was accompanied
by a considerable number of citizens, among
them some of the most prominent of the
city. After several lively airs, Mr.. Roberts
appeared on his steps, and JAS. A. c. Bond,
Esq, made a short speech, rendering him the
serenade upon the part OF the Band and
others as an appreciation OF their gratlhca-
ton at his nomination for so honorable a
position as that of Attorney General. Mr..
Roberts responded briefly, thanking the
Band and the citizens for the serenade, and
saying that he regarded the compliment as
devoid of political significance, and as per-
sOnal one to himself, as q fellow-citlZen who
had been nominated by his party for an ex
allied position. He alluded to his nomina-
ton as one unsought, except from his fellow
Democrats of Carroll. He said that the
party in Carroll had recommended him for
the place. and that the party throughout the
State, through their representatives, had
ratified their choice without solicitation from
him. and that his nomination was not that of
a cabal or ring that letters to him upon the
subject were left unanswered, for he wanted
to be able to say, if he should be chosen, that
his nomination was unsought, except from
the party in Carroll. If elected, he said, he
would do his utmost for the best interest of
the whole people, and would labor to further
such reforms as would be beneficial to the
best interests of ALL Mr.. Roberts spoke Of
other matters of Il personal, not political,
nature, to all of which his auditors responded
bv applause. At the conclusion of his re-
marks he invited all in to partake of refresh
ments After refreshments there was more
music, and then all dispersed to their homes

Ii. Zimmerman, member of the Faculty
last year, and the reply explain themselves:
W. NJ. c., September 10th, 1889.
PRoF ZIMMERMAN Il, as secretary of the
''Class of 1885, am instructed to inform you
that, at a meeting of the Glass to-day, we de-
cided to present to you the instruments you
purchased for us, as token of our friendship
for you and appreciation of the interest you
always took in US. Yours respectfully,
W H. WHITE, for the Glass.
REILLY.
DEAR SIR Yours of the 10th inst. came
to me while on my way to Baltimore to spend
several days, and hence the lateness of my re-
ply. When, some months ago, the chairman
of your class, Mr. j. l.. N. Herman, politely
rose from his seat in my lecture-room, aud,
in the presence of his class, in an address as
from the lips of any youth of his years, placed
in my hands thirty dollars in gold as coma
ton by the class, to be applied IN the p1r-
chase of some suitable piece of apparatus tor
the scientific department of the College, little
did | then think that would become the re-
cipient of what we all felt so proud to bestow
upon the institution we loved, and whose
greatest usefulness we labored hard to pro-
mote. But your communication, now before
me, informs me that such is the decision of
the members of your class, and that to me,
and not to the College, where my relations
were so unexpectedly, so suddenly changed,
the present of the instruments IA fine phono-
graph and the latest improved magnetic. cleo
trio machine) purchased by me at their re-
quest is made as a token of their friendship
and appreciation of the interest always took
in them.
The value, my dear sir, which | would at
tach to such gift, merely as gift, from your
class under most circumstances, L assure you
would be high; but when made under such
circumstances as have prompted the presen-
tation, the value to me becomes almost price
less, inasmuch as by it actions are ooeighed!
Assure the "Class of 1885, of my apprecl-,
alton of this mark of their friendship, and OF
my continued interest in their welfare, and
believe me, very truly yours,
WIN. H. ZIMMERMAN.

States from The Discovery of the American Cont
nent to the present time. By Alexander H.
Stephens.
There is a genuine demand for History OF Inc
United States" embracing complete and Impartial
account of the events of our history from the olseoF
ery of Anne RIGA down to the present time, ana pre-
senting in succnct and comprehensive form the
history of our country through its various perlous
from higher and more thoughtful standpoint than
any work heretofore published. This demand is
satisfactorily met in "A Comprehensive and Popular
History of the United States" from the pen of the
distinguished Statesman and Author, Hon. AleHah-
der Fl. Stephens.
Of all men Mr. Stephens was the best qualified for
the task of writing History of the United States ana
he made his great work the GROWING enort
his life He was not only profound student OF tne
early periods of history, but for nearly nan
century was of the most prominent actors IN the
events of which he writes. He was the intimate
friend of the great public men of the last nifty years
and as such knew the secret motives when nsplreu
their actions and was familiar with the inside his
tory of all the great events of the past half century,
in most of which he was prominent leader. lie
therefore wrote from his own knowledge of events
all advantage never enjoyed by any other American
historian This personal knowledge enabled him 10
shed flood of light over many of the most lmpor-
tant periods of our history and his high character
and vel known impartiality added to his eminent
gifts as Statesm an and an tuthor, rendered MIN
the most competent writer who ever treated the
subject of American history.
The narrative opens with an account of the dls
coveries of the Norsemen, Columbus, and other
early explorers. The settlement and growth OF the
Colonies, the Indian Wars, the great struggle for
Independence, and the change from the old Con-
federation to the present system of government I'M
der the Constitution, fully and ably treated'
then follows the history of our country until the
Second War with England the Mexican War, ana
the events of our history up to the commencement
of the great Civil War; This narrative of that terrible
struggle is rendered douby valuable in consequence
of Mr.. stephens position Vice-President OF the
Confederacy. The work closes with history OF the
administrations of Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur
The work is comprised in one royal octave volume
of nearly 200 large double-column pages Is hand-
somely bound and illustrated with over 800 fine en-
cravings on steel and wood embracing battles ana
other historical scenes portraits of the distinguished
men of our history views of our principal cities
