APInfn Sermon.-Rev. w. c.. Egg
gleston, of the NJ. +. Church South of
Shephcrdstown, preached very plain
and pointed sermon on Sunday morning
last from the text 'IThou shalt not follow
n multitude TO do evil" His words were
not only applicable to his own congrega-
ton and his own community, but we
think they can be needed generally with
profit. He said $50 upon our streets 1T
any hour of the Gay, and even at night,
and listen TO the conversation Of and OBJ
serve the actions of the girls aud boys,
and you will find that the girls-mere
children-think OF nothing but the boys;
and the boys, on whose lips the maternal
milk has scarcely dried, think of nothing
but the girls. You allow your sons and
daughters to get in sleighs and go off at
all hours Of the night 10 these parties
where dancing and drinking and carons-
ing are the amusements. After awhile,
when the fruits of these things are seen,
parents will wiring their hands and moan
that they cannot control their children.
ALI. it is truc-you cannot then. Nosc is
the time. IL parents do not guide and
control their children in the first ten or
twelve years of their lives they are not
likely to do it afterward. And" said the
speaker, sit has come TO my kno Wedge
that members of the church have been
foremost in attending many of these
dances. II you must attend these places
of questionable amusement, for Gods
sake come out of the church! Do not let
reproach lie brought upon the whole
church by the pcrverse conduct of a few"
Mr.. Ecsleston's sermon was listened to
by large congregation, and it is the
opinion of many that his words were fifty
spoken.

Our NaiIx.-The Baltimore !

Our NaiIx.-The Baltimore American
correspondent in Washington had an in
terview with Mail Superintendent Thomp-
son the other day, in which the latter in
timated that the chance for All early mail
train out of Baltimore over the Western
Maryland Road was very poor one.
This being tho case, we deem it to be the
best plan to have mail-rOute established
between Shopherdstown and Shenandoah
junction. This would give us our mail
at hslf-past twelve O'Clock instead of at
$40, saving of nearly three hours,
which would be of considerable benefit to
our business men. AS there is no chance
of obtaining relief otherwise, we hope
that something will be done in this matter.
Repair lf.-The sidewalk in front of
the Mouldsr property Oh King street, be-
tween Main street and the pOst-ofiice, is
in a miserable condition, making the
walking not only disagreeable but dam
gerous. 1t was originally intended for
pavement, but now it is but pile of
stones set OH edge in Il sea of mud and
water. 1t is used more than any pave
ment i'm town, and is about the worst
apology for one-wlich is saying great
deal. If the owner of the property will
not repair it, let the town authorities take
il in hand. The Nuitance Committee
need only inspect 10 obtain evidence.

ENCOURAGE TIE FARMER.

The blind policy of the Republican
rarity and its legislation Of the last
twenty Years is responsible for present
hard times and the condition of labor
and capital, and the aitagofism which
exists between them. To it's short
sighted policy is the country indebted
lnr the numerous tramps going mp and
down the land in search of bread, clad
IN their tatters end rags, pinched with
the b ting rangs of hunger, diving .f
pastilence aud disease; outcasts and
beggars in this favored land OF plenty:
amidst the christian civilization of the
nineteenth century, while. the countless
nnmber Of milIionaires regale them
selves in their purple and fine linen
amidst the gold and silken elra,,ery OF
their high and lofty palaces. 1t has
been the o,,rn policy of the Republican
party to foster and build up mnnop-
olies, especially is this so in reference
to manufacturers, r;tilroa IS, aud land
monopolies. It's legislation has at all
times been in opposition to the aGri-
cultural develop. ment of the country
and ruinous to small farmers. It has
| discouraged the settlement of our wild
lands in small farms and hcmes:etlS,
aud encouraged the settlement of the
populous in the great commercial cen.

| iag them a menpoiv it has encouraged
an over production aud enabled them
to shut down their nills while they
maintain an exhe rbitent price for their
manufactured comodities. Bv this
means millions of laborers, who depend
upon their daily wages f + the support
OF their families, have been thrown
out Of employment. Such is the cor
dition Of our country to-day; sucl, is
the inevitable result Of this short sight
ed policy.
These periodical hard times have
swept over the countly ever, few
years since the war; caused by the re-
dnetion of wages aud the shutting

is light and just that this bnrtlen

Just to those farmers who have their

because their nelghhor has moft2aged

land, if taxed ut al, goes to Mnltro-.
nah county. it is unjust aid anfair
To the farming community that their
lands should be taxed to keep u, the
city Of Portland and Multnomah coun-
ty. The benefit which the Metrono!is
has heenp receiving heretofore, catises
their opposition to the present law,
and will cause them 10 use strenuous

want Of the proper eSertion on the

playing into the hands Of the capital

thousand dollars due it u.on n.ortg gags

American operatives were better paid
than the labore.s Of other countries
