cb,rcb. and being quite cool and pleasant, it had
the effect of bringing out quite large crowd
The church was over-crowded and q large NUMBER
on the outside. The church had previously been
very tastefully decorated so gaudy as tne
case sometimes on such occasions. On either SIDE
of the pulpit was beautiful pyramid OF flowers,
and lust in front, on a stand, was arranged vase
of exquisite flowers, being capped with q large
calla ily. which added greatly to its appearance,
and Just back of the pulpit and against the wall
hung two shield shaped wreaths and enwoven on
their face in dainty flowers were the words
"Asburv. 1884: Simpson 1884" And still higher
nm ON the wall hung beautiful cross, above
which were the words, "Feed my Lambs" The
organ that had been removed from its accustomed
Mace. stood half facing the congregation and
was relieved by several large and well arranged
bouquets. The school had taken up the regular
programme prepared for the occasion Although
some parts of it were very difficult, it was rendered
with credit to the school. Several of the young
ladies from the female Bible class INDUCED in
dialogue title "Vo ices of the flowers" And must
not forget to say q very fluent and welcome open
inc address was made by Miss Nellie Price; also
several other speeches and Rotations were dehv-
cred by the infant class with equal interest,
being succeeded by Rev. I. M. West, preacher In
charge who gave us a grand centenary speech,
and illustrated to the vast audience the great dis
ADVANTAGES of the past and the greater necessity
in the future especially in having a female SEMI
nary in the city of Baltimore that will be free to
every Young lady who wishes to avail herself OF
the opportunity of obtaining thorough education'

Last Sunday, the 22d, was Children's Day at
| Vernon NJ E. Church, and although the day was
| exceedingly warm, the house was filed almost to
| saffocation, but notwithstanding the whole pro
gramme, consisting of singing, speaking, reclta-
tions, &C., was gone through with great demeanor
| and was highly commended by many of the vlsi-
| tors. Rev. Thos. Henderson, of Black Horse, and
Rev. G. L. Cuddy were the officiating diVlnes
| nresent. One bad feature was the church seats
| had very recently been painted and from some
| cause or other had not dried as they should, and
this caused great uneasiness among lhe nne'y
| dressed ladies, and especially those in white.
The farmers throughout this neighborhood were
making hay last week, and the CHATTER OF the now
ing machine could be heard in most any dlrection
| Although the weather was very warm and OPP
pressive, the farmers were inclined to the ole
adage, "make hay while the sun Shines. FMS
week the harvesting of wheat begins and conse
ouently great preparations have been made ane
numbers of seif-binders have been delivered a
While Hall and Parkton, and gone out in all al
| rections. The wheat crops raised now are muci
larger than formerly, and hands are more scarce
but still the farmers can look happy and sing,
The grain is now ripe and ready to cut,
And hands so scarce can't find them,
will buy a machine to cut it in sheaves,
And then security bind them.
Mr. John Marklin, residing near this place, wh
| met with such severe accident sometime ag
while on his way from Baltimore, by being ru
over by a runaway team, breaking his arm an
cutting his foot severely, is now improving, an
| will soon be able to resume his duties.
Mr.. Joseph Pearce, wel-known in this vicinity
has been doing considerable threshing in thl
neighborhood in the past few years, doing tn
work with three horse tread-power, but in tn
future will be better prepared for the business,
he has Just purchased q steam thresher or engin
which he intends using during the canning sea
son, and no doubt his patrons will be glad to hes
that he is now able to get the grain out wit
greater dispatch and satisfaction.
