The District Conference of the
Young Mems Christian Association
of Maryland and West Virginia as
sembled at Mountain Lake Park Fri

O'Clock.

papers were read on the following
topics: "Bible Claim" personal
Work, 1.-The Relations Between the
Associations and the Community"
1.-THE Work of the Railroad Branch,
and the Religions and Secular Work
of the Associations" These papers
brought out a discussion of interest,
and many good ideas were developed.
All the sessions were characterized
by spirit of earnestness and conse-
Grafton which, if carried away, must
bring good results.
At the closing meeting the dele
gates from all parts of the country
gave assurance of the good received
and to be carried to their different
fields of labor. On Sabbath afternoon
a number of delegates held by invi-
tation an earnest meeting at the
chapel on the Hotel grounds at Deer
Park, number of the audience COM
ing from the Hotel and others from
the village. When such men as Cap
tain French, Supervisor of the Second
Division, set forth the results of the
work, such as Bible in place of a
pack of cards in the cabooses, and
prayer instead of swearing by the en-
ginemen, it was felt that the work
was effective, and we'll worth the
support of all. Mr.. Ed. Ingersoll,
international Secretary for the rail-
road work, gave some very interest
ing facts as TO the work throughout
the country. This meeting was in
charge of H. Thane Miller of Cincin-
natl, who sang several solos very &C.
ceptably. Members of the Mountain
Lake Park Association, gave vote
of thanks to the Conference for the
good opening they had of the service
at the Park tor the summer, and re-
quested that the conference be re.
peated next year.

Oh the exceeding great joy and glad
ness OF the people. At the appointed
nour' seven in the morning, a rumb
ing noise resounded along the shores
OF the North Branch. 1t was the
shrlll whistle and the exhaust of the
railroad locomotive, a sound that was
never heard and sight that was
never seen during the long lapse of
tlihe IN this section of country before.

when the engine and construction
tram was to follow up. In the mean
time the large majority of our citizens
congregated on the hillside and nro.
cured all the available firearms and
holiday combustibles in the place.
ana as the engine came around the
curve for the first time at a given
signal, they fired salute after salute,
whole packs of fire-crackers were set
OF, the small boys began to shout and
the dogs commenced to bark, the en-
CINE blowed the whistle and the
mountains and hills round about
seemed to reverberate the cheerful
word, welcome. The officers of the
railroad then invited their hands into
beautiful grove and agreeabIy sur.
prlsed them by exhibiting to their
view a small mountain of beer bar
rels on tap, which was sent by the
Hon. s. B. Elkins to treat the men
as soon as they would complete the
road TO the town named in his honor.
one OF our merchants went down and
helped to consume his portion of the
beer, and he became so much over
Joyed at the occasion, that he dived
down into the hitherto almost i'm
pentrable businesses of his heart, and
in emulation of the Hon. S. B. Elk
ms also concluded to treat, which he
did. by having the cigars with his
compliments attached passed round
to all hands.
MIR. M. Shellhouse. who works on
Randolph's works, close to the Fair
fax region, informed us that he saw
two full grown bears and two small
cubs in thicket of pine close to the
works one day last week. He ex-
pressed his regret that he didn't have
his revolver with him that if he had
he would have endeavored to kill the
old ones so he could capture the cubs.
We congratulate him upon not hav-
ing the necessary weapon, and we are
OF opinion that the chances were in
his favor by not having them.

From the Lutheran Observer.
Among the Mountains,

Brother Slaybaugh and Chaplain
Power, of the House of Representa-
tives, kindly filled the Memorial pull
pit last Lords day, and the pastor
went upon a ten days tour among
the mountains of Western Maryland.
What he saw and heard would inter-
est any of your wide-awake readers.
Your correspondent is at home again,
after a most delightful vacation amid
new scenes and friends old and new.
Many ofour city pastors would doubt
less prefer vacations of this kind, in
which they can do something to cheer
and encourage brethren and churches
IN rural districts, even though they
preach as frequently as in their own
pulpits. am sure that l have had
most enjoyable time, and will be
glad to repeat it whenever opportu-
nifty and circumstances permit.
Our excellent brother, Rev. J. B.
Shoup, of Garrett county. Md. the
extreme west of the state. and who
but few months since entered upon
his new field, said, "Come and install
me, and bring brother Homrighaus
along to do the German" The man
who can meet the demands of that
field must be able to do what it re-
quires two men to do in this city. In
avoirdupois, brother Shoup would
tilt the beam almost as readily as the
two pale, lank men who went from
the city to the mountains. He
breathes purer air, and lives in a
land of milk and sugar-some honey,
too. though that does not abound.
The sugar-maple groves. with the
beautiful meadows in living green,
furnish most quiet and inspiring
landscapes. Life there has necessar.
lily more vigor than in this warmer
climate.
The new pastor, the son.in-law of
Rev. DIR. Ziegler, has had a varied
experience, which has made him a
many-sided man. 1t is we'll for every
man, in the ministry and out of it, to
be many.sided. With most honor
able record In the time of the Ma
TONS peril, for more than six months
at Fortress Monroe, on duty, when
Uncle Sam entertained there his most
distinguished guest, Mr.. Jefferson
Davis. and some other gentlemen of
less note, Brother Shoup is full of in
teresting incident. In search of health
he was turned aside for some years
from his loved work of preaching the
gospel to "tent-making," as did a
more illustrious preacher than either
of your readers. For some time he
lived among the cotton fields of Ala
bama. Now the circuit of his churches
