ployed in the oyster trade of Cambridge
At the Elkton Presbyterian Church
on Sunday last 5000 were subscribed to-
ward paying the church debt.
- Major Harry Gilmour, of Confederate
cavalry fame, is lying at the point Of

prevailed there to an alarming extent
about two months ago.
~ DR.. Barber, rector Of Christ P. E.
Church at Cambridge, which was recently
burned, has succeeded in raising about
$40, 900 toward rebuilding his church.
- The Crumpton debating society has
tackled the following question: (Which
runs the greater risk in entering matri-
monv, man or woman" It seems to US
that they take about equal chances, unless
the man is baldheaded.
Levin Wethered, one of the victims
of the disaster on the Southern Pacific
railroad last Friday night, was native OF
Kent county and brother Of Mrs. ". n.
E. Wickes, of Chestertown. He had re-
sided in San Francisco for several years.
- Many of those engaged in the oyster
business declare that the natural oyster

rapidly depleted. Cambridge dealers and

the demand, and that the Chesapeake
beds are rapidly failing.
The Cecilton Library Association, who
are endeavoring to found public library
in their town, will hold festival on the
evenings of Thursday and Friday of next
week to help fill their treasury. The OBJ
iect of the association is a laudable one
and the people of Cecilton and neighbor-
hood should give the movement hearty
encouragement.
- The Salisbury literary society, which
has been quietly sleeping for some time,
reorganized on one evening of last week
and resolved to wrestle with the follow
ING question: Resolved, That pathetic
writings have had a greater influence on
the world than humorous writings" In
referring to noted humorous works we
hope the negative side will not forget the
dictionary and Congressional Record.

p "a RP Association.


The annual stock holders meeting Of the
Peninsular Agricultural and Pomological
Association will be held at the associations
room in Middletown on tomorrow after
noon at one O'Clock. A board Of eleven
directors to serve during the ensuing year
will be elected, and other business Of i'm
portance will be transacted. The secre-
tary's report to be submitted will show
the receipts of the association during the
past year to have been as follows: For
admissions, S2,91l.s5; for track entrance
fees, 81, 1880; for privileges, s3O3.0O; from
all other sources, $40. Total, from all
sources, S4,579.s5. The disbursements
were, for awards to exhibitors, S2,7S9.OO; /;
expenses, s2,O797L. Total expenditures
for the year, s., ,86S71. This leaves a de-
ficiency in the years business amounting
to $2S8.86. The year 1882 was poor one
for agricultural fairs almost everywhere,
and particularly so on the Peninsula. The
receipts OF our fair, though greater than in
1881, were much below the expectations of
the management. The expenses of the
year were cut down as much as possible,
but the premiums were kept about the
same, the managers well knowing that it
takes liberal premiums to make good
exhibition. The display at the fair was
good and exhibitors and visitors we're well
pleased. The managers, too, were pleased
with the fair, but they would have been
better pleased if the gate receipts had been
heavier. Nine fairs have been held by
this association and it is just about as far
in debt now as it was after its first exhi-
bition. This debt is really but small
matter, trif1e by the side of that carried
by several of our neighboring associations,
and efforts will probably be made to pay

Odessa's Jubilee.

On Thursday, Jan. 18th, st. Paul's Meth
odist Episcopal Church, Odessa, celebrated
It's It's semi semi centennial The inclemencY of
the season and the fact that some of those
who were expected to participate in the
exercises could not be present, caused
some anxiety for the success of the cele-
bration, yet it passed off very smoothly
and much to the pleasure of the people.
Among the notables present were Rev.
B. F. Price, pastor of St. Paul's from lSS9-
Al, Rev. J. S. Willis, pastor in 1859, Rev.
W. L. s. Murray, of Middletown, and
Hon. G. B. Lore. On either side of the
pulpit was a memorial tablet, headed
g Our Pastors, the name and time of SER
vice of each being neatly stenciled under
meath. The program of the day consisted
first, of a sermon at 101l A. NJ, by Rev.
B. F. Price, from Eph. iii, 1919, full of
happy thoughts and highly appreciated; ;
second, in the afternoon a Reminiscence
meeting was conducted by Rev. B. F.
Price. Interesting historical addresses
were made by Jas. V. Moore, Esq, and
John Appleton, Esq, who have been con-
nected with the church from the begin
ming. Revs. Price, Willis and Murray,
and Hon. G. B. Lore (whose boyhood was
spent in Odessa) made interesting re-
marks. Letters of regret and good wishes
were read from several who could not be
present. An interesting feature was that
as the roll of pastors was called, those
brought into the church under the min
istry of each were requested to rise, and
cloud of witnesses proved that much good
seed had fallen on good ground. A state
ment prepared by L. V. Aspril, Esq,
absent on account of sickness, was read by

Tears and smiles and the unwearied at

services were well attended, considering

Rev. J. S. Willis delivered an
ADDRESS on the characteristics by which
has achieved success. 1t was
ull of humor, pathos, beautiful bits of
word painting, and happy, practical hits.
Rev. B. F. Price then made some farewell
and the congregation dispersed,
,reatly delighted with the exercises. The
hoir, as usual on all public occasions in
It. Paul's, contributed very much to the
pleasure of the services. On another oc-

cause it will show up so many different

gone through life unscathed by even
suspicion. If he be detained at
ALA most unlikely circumstance
his cell is carpeted. well aired,
nicely furnished, and always Access
sible to his friends, who make the
trihing inconvenience hang as
lightly about him as possible. Is
this entirely right2 Should we not
exclusively deal with the crime and
lose all sight of the persona
No; crime cannot be stopped
not always, even, stayed; but it can
be reduced to its proper sphere and
a more fitting regard for law and
order established by treating all
offenders in accordance with the
grade of their respective offenses,
not as at present, in accordance
with the social status which they
occupied. "Let no guilty
man escape" is all very well; "let
there be no distinctions before or
after trial." is better.

THE POWER of the press has been
very forcibly illustrated in the
matter of the commissionership for
the District of Columbia. Some
weeks ago Judge Olmstead was
nominated to the Office by the Pres
ident, and the Senate district COM
mittee took the nomination into
consideration. But the press, the
New York journals being foremost
in the matter, decided that Ohm
stead should not be commissioner.
A week before his nomination the
gentleman had a fair general
reputation, but a week after
wards he must have been
ashamed of himself, provided
he read only a small part Of what
was written about him. He was
fairly riddled, then covered with
slime and finally burnt up. The
consequence was, that he could not
endure the storm, and begged that
his name be withdrawn. The Office
has since been offered to two or
three gentlemen, all of whom have
declined. They say they do not
care to run the risk of successfully
running the line of newspapers
batteries for a six months term of
Office.

THERE is a proposition before the
Nebraska legislature to abolish the
grand jury, and it is hoped the sug-
gestion will be acted upon favorably.
There is absolutely no use for the
grand jury, and the system is not
only expensive and cumbersome, but
lacks just what all laws should pos
sess-fairness and the elements of
Justice. Some of the states have
long since done away with the
anCiquated system, and they could
not be induced to return to it.

THE BOSTON Traveller, in speak
ing of French affairs, in their present
disturbed condition, truthfully re-
marks: IA republic whose rulers
are scared out of their wits by the
posting of an incendiary procIama-
ton on the walls, by a pretender as
shallow and weak as Plon-Plon, and
which cannot feel safe unless all
men and women who once wore,
or are related to those who once
wore the imperial purple, are exiled,
is not very robust concern. The
suspicion necessarily arises that
it is not frm-ba3ed upon the
peoples will" It is question
able if the French will ever
have anything approaching a solid
republic. They certainly never will
so long as one or a dozen or a thou
sand, monarchists can disturb 1t,
How would an Imperial mani
festo affect the United States? If
one thousand of the strongest and
best known men in the republic
were to attach their names to such
a document, post it on every wall
in the nation and print it in all
the papers, it would simply excite
ridicule, help the funny
paragraphers for a day or two and
furnish the comic papers subject for
a few cartoons.

SOME OF the New York papers
are urging the legislature to pass a
law providing the whipping-post as
punishment for wife-beaters, while
other journals are denouncing the
suggestion as barbaroGs. The
whipping-post is not half so barbar-
Gus as wife-beating, and it seems to
be the only punishment of which
brutal husbands stand in awe.
