The members Of Trinity Church, at
Elkton, express themselves as follows
through the columns of the Cecil County
Ne'os: "Well may the members of the
Z. e. Church of Newark, congratulate
themselves in having secured the services
of their present talented and eloquent
young rector. His subject was the Tn-
carnation,' and from the announcement
of his text, to the close of the sermon, he
held the closest attention of his hearers,
showing distinctly the labors of student
of history and theology. This combined
with rich imagination served to picture

The b. d o. contractors are meeting
with lots of trouble, and giving number
of people trouble to get even with them.
The general complaint of parties inter
ested or working on the road, is to get
what is due them. Some of the contrac.
tors say the Railroad Company are trying
to cheat them, but there is evidently an
error about this. We believe the B. & o.
Company will do what they have promised
to do. A great deal OF the trouble lies in
the fact that the contractors have taken
the job at a price too low for the work to
be done. This is no fault of the Railroad
Company, and no blame should be at
tached TO them. The parties who have
trusted the contractors OF worked for
them are keeping a sharp lookout that
they play no sharp game on them. We
understand that in the spring the b. u
U. Will take the work in hand and push
