May Term of the Circuit Court.

The May term of the Circuit Court, which
commences on the 18th, promises to be an
extended one. For various causes most all
cases were continued at the November and
February terms, and there are now 302
cases on the trial docket and 10 on the appeal
docket. There are also AZ originals. The
criminal docket will be large also, and three
weeks session of the grand jury is not at all
improbable There are now in jail awaiting
the action of the grand inquest: Howard
johnson, colored, for larceny; Allan loop
and Joanna Green, both colored, for attempt
ed arson; Hanson Dorsey, Charles Warfeld,
Robert Goodwin and John Clark, all colored,
for arson; Jack Bennett, for fighting and re-
sisting arrest; David Ebenezer Hardy, colored,
for assault with intent to kill; Warren Snowden,
colored, for same offence; Jacob Kerchner,
for forgery. There are one or two others in
Jail for the action of the grand jury on minor
charges, the total number of prisoners on
Tuesday being seventeen. VIM. I. Phillips,
convicted at the November term for enticing
Mandella Yingling away for immoral pur-
poses, has been awarded new trial, which
| will come up at the approaching term also.

A weather Comparison.

This is a cool and backward spring, is often
remarked, but the ADVOCATE weather record
shows that for April, 1882. the mercury av
eraged 4S at Z O. clock in the meFnaiing and "a
at in the afternoon. For April, this year,
the average at a. m. was one-third degree
higher, and at 2 p. m. about the same as last
year. In April, 1882, the mercury was below
80 twice, on the 10th and 18th, and on twelve
mornings between 30 and 40. In April this
year the mercury was below 80 one morning,
1st day of the month, one morning at 30, and
from 80 to 40 on eight mornings. There
were two SHOWS in April, 1882, and four in
April, 1888. In April of last year there were
10 cloudy days and 6 rainy ones; April, 1888,
there were II cloudy days and 10 rainy ones.
We have taken April as the proper month
for comparison, as we nave mule pheasant
weather in March and less of what is termed
spring. 1t will be seen from the record that
there was really no difference, taking the
months upon the average.

Ascension Church.

Last Thursday was Ascension Day, festi-
val concentrating the Ascension of our
Saviour to Heaven forty days after His resur-
rection. 1t was also the anniversary of As
caasion Parish, this city, and services appro-
pirate to the day were held. At the evening
service the Rector, Rev. J. Stewart Smith
during his sermon, referring to Ascension
Church, said.
"Look around you, and every nook and cor
ner here is redoent with memories fthe past;
with the recollection of familiar faces, of
voices long since hushed in silence; with as
sociations very dear and very sweet to your
soul For thirty seven years-tor it was on
Ascension Day, 1876, that this Church was
consecrated-t shrine has stood as beacon
tower, not only for this town and county, but
for the whole state of Maryland and the whole
Church in America. Its building was the
first attempt outside of the city at better
class of architecture, and as such it attracted
in no small degree the attention of the diocese.
The priests who have ministered at its altar
have from the first been men of more than
usual ability, one of whom is known through
out the land. 1t enjoys the distinction of be-
ing among the first small parishes in the
county to introduce full ritual, and is the
first country Church in America to have the
blessings of a daily Eucharist.
