CHAMBERsBURG, June 25.
The weather is very hot, and the
farmer is happy in consequence, and
they are making hay while the sun
shines.
L am sorry to chronicle the death
OF Miss May Anderson, which oc-
Cured on the 10Th of June, aged Ia
years l month AID days. She was
a sufferer from that dread disease,
consumption. She bore her suffering
with a Christian fortitude and died
triumphant in the hope of glorious
resurrection. The interment took
place on Sabbath, at 4 p. m, from
the residence of her uncle, Mr..
Henry Monks. The funeral was
largely attended. The members of
the M. IA. OnuIUiI anu oaDDatn
school turned out in a body. Rev.
William FL. Davis conducted the
ceremonies. Scripture read, John
l4:3; "And if l 60 and prepare a
place for you l will come again and
receive you unto myself" Synopsis
o! the sermon: | 90 to prepare a
place for you. By his going is meant
his death, resurrection and ascension
to heaven. The figure here is taken
from one who is going on journey,
who goes before his companions to
provide place to lodge in and to
make the necessary preparations for
their entertainment 1t means that
he, by the work which he was yet to
perform in heaven, would secure their
admission there and obtain for them
the blessings of eternal life. We
will meet with Jesus in heaven. The
following appropriate and touching
piece of poetry was dedicated by her
teacher, Mrs. Lizzie A. Wright:
May, We miss you in the school room
When our class is gathered near,
When see your seat still vacant
OFT will drop the silent tear.
Oh, we miss Youlin our number,
Thy freed spirit now has flown,
Peaceful be thy quiet slumber,
Christ has claimed thee for his own.
We would like to give a detailed
synopsis of the special sermon
preached by William II. Davis at
the A. M. E. church on last Sabbath
evening, topic, "Who have fled for
refuge but space will not permit.

The excursion from Baltimore to
our city on the 23d was success.
The Atlantic base ball club, of Bal
timore, ana the Alert, of our city,
enjoyed a game of ball together,
which resulted in favor of the visi-
tors by score of 9 to l.
The Alert visited Hagerstown to-
day, 25th, and played the Actives
return game of ball. At the ending of
the third inning the game was
stopped on account of rain, the score
standing: Alert 4, Actives, 3. The
boys returned home on the New York
express well pleased with their visit
and the gentlemanly treatment ac-
corded them by the Actives and cll-
zens of Hagerstown generally.
