From the annapolis Adeertiser;
Wemust not omit to congratulate our friends
of the Democratic Ad0ocate, of Westminster,
Carroll Co., on entering on its 10Th year. The
Adrocate is, perhaps, the handsomest printed
paper that comes to this Office. Its fresh and
crisp way of speaking of our times and men,
makes the Adrocate always readable and in
teresting. We are glad to know it is one OF
the most prosperous papers in the State.

1t has been my sad duty to record in the
register of this school the death of one OF the
brightest gems of this happy, hopeful band,
Mary Catharine, familiarly known as Matte,
daughter of Noah W. and Mary E. Sellers,
who departed this life on the morning OF the
1st instant, aged u years, months and 20
days. The deceased possessed those, quail
ties of heart which never fail to make hrm
and lasting friends. Her affable manners and
amiable disposition did not only elicit adml-
ration but also won the lasting love and esteem
of her associates. She strove to make her-
self useful in every department OF lie. AZ
home she was an affectionate and dutltul chlid;
at Sunday school and in the exercises OF the
missionary society she was an active ana use
full member; at school she was an attentive
studious and obedient pupil; and IN society
civil and courteous companion. therefore,
while her snrrowing parents mourn her ue-
parture, the community suffer the loss OF one
who gave bright promise Of great future use

Opposed Dancing st Church Festivals.

NORWICH, May 1.-THE recent retirement
of tho Rev. Mr. slime. pastor Of tho German
Lutheran Society Of this city. was the result OF
a disagreement between him and his church
committee on the question OF dancing. Mr..
Slime came to the Norwich pastorate several
months ago. and was Mt first popular with his
entire congregation. 1t has been the custom
Of the society for many years to give q festival
and fair each winter. the most attractive
feature of which was dancing Just before the
entertainment last winter MIR. Stine informed
the church committee that lie did not consider
dancing proper in connection with church
entertainment. and that it would be omitted at
the coming festival. 1t was generally under
the result Of promise on the part Of
tho other pastors in Norwich to pay half
the Indebtedness Of the Lutheran Society.
81 900. on condition that the society raise the
other at the festival and omit the dancing fea-
ture from their programme. The majority OF
the COMMITTEES and many OF the church mem
bers were highly incensed at the pastors
proposition. and spoke scoffingly OF the chances
Of n successful fair without dancing. At one Of
the meetings ut tho pastors house. one Indy
member OF the church denounced the Rev. Mr.
stine's moral ideas in such violent terms that
the meeting WAS broken up The, pastor was

committee. After several unsuccessful at
tcmpts ut reconciliation, Mr.. Stine resigned his

and II written testimonial OF their esteem. The
