Fork, 18th District.-We fully expected to
see in some of the county papers an account of
Children's Day at Fork, which was celebrated on
the goth. None having appeared, we will en-
deavor to give you q short account. The church
had previously been decorated by the young ladies
and gentlemen friends of the Sabbath school,
The spectators lavish in their expressions of
praise on its beautiful appearance. We were
flooded with addresses by Messrs. Rankin and
Hyde, of Chestnut Grove Presbyterian church,
and Revs Foster and Reilly, of the M. e. church,
the latter the pastor of Fork church. The speeches
were made to suit the capacity of the children,
but persons of a larger growth were highly enter
tanned. We had good music by the school, solos
by Misses Hughes and Reilly, and q duet by Miss
Reilly and brother daughter and son of the pastor.
After the exercises collection was taken to aid
in founding Baltimore Conference institution for
the higher education of young women. This grand
educational enterprise is to crown and bless this
centennial year of Methodism.
We have been favored with a refreshing rain,
which has delighted the hearts of the farmers in
this vicinity, the corn and late vegetables were
suffering from the drouth and the roads were
dusty and unpleasant for travelling.
A lady near here was surprised one morning
last week on entering her poultry house to find
her flock of turkeys slaughtered by rats. Visions
of turkey and celery, with friends to participate,
had doomed up in her mental vision, which have
vanished into thin air. She can say:
"'Tis ever thus from childhood's hour,
I've seen my turkeys go their way,
For what the rats did not devour
Was eaten up some other day.
never would o turkey sell,
But tat them ready Tor TO ole,
Then serve them up at Xmas well,
