THE LATE REV. ID. II. WILLSON.
The Minute and Resolution Adopted by Il
yestry of q Bereaved Church.

The Minute and Resolution Adopted by the
vestry of q Bereaved Church.
At a meeting of the yestry of the Church
of the Ascension, Bradford, Pa, held June
Sd, the following minute and resolution were
adopted:
1t having pleased the Great Head of the
church to remove from his earthly labors to
the rest of Paradise the Rev. David b. Will
son, rector of tho Church of the Ascension,
Bradford, Pa, the wardens and vestry do
place on record their appreciation OF his
services and their sense OF the great loss
which they have sustained that by the
death of our late beloved rector the parish
loses a loving and Jealous priest, a wise coun-
sellor and devoted friend, one to whom the
spiritual and temporal interests of his charge
we're always his first thought, and to whom
the parishioners will always feel under deep
obligation for his efforts to elevate them to
q higher standard Of spiritual lie as well
as for his successful work during his too
short rectorship in freeing the church from
debt
Loyal to the church, firm in his convictions,
outspoken and positive in his teaching, a
man OF clear and quick intellect of great te-
naclty OF purpose of unblemished integrity,
faithful to all trusts, full of charity to all men,
with very tender love for childIen-the
lambs of Christ's flock-as evidenced by the
deep interest he took in the work of the Sun
day school and the anxiety he manifested for
the proper religious instructions of the
young.
Outside Of his parish many hearts expert
ence pang OF sincere regret and sorrow as
they strive to realize that they will know him
here no more
We earnestly pray Almighty God that we
as parish may have grace given us to follow
his good example, to live as he lived, life OF
untlring devotion to the service of our
Master; to be as he was, 'faithful unto
death" and that, he with US and we with him,
may have our perfect contamination and
bliss, both OF body and soul i'm tha atarn,I
and everlasting Kingdom
We tender to his sorrowing family our
heartfelt sympathies, and while we weep
with those who weep over their great aillction
and deplOre with them tho loss which thew
and we have sustained, we pray that the
Father of Mercies and God of all comfort
may be to them very present holp in this
their time of trouble.
Resotoed, That copy of this minute be
published in the Bradford Era, the Lancas-
tor lNTELLIaENCER and the Churctn,an,
and that an attested copy be transmitted to
his family. Il. X. SHEPARD, Secretary.

Disorder at the Bass Hall Grounds la Which IA
Politician was Engaged.
1t was hoped that the disorder at the base
ball grounds would end with the arrest OF
the young fellows who were heard before
Alderman Spurrier some evenings ago. 1t
seems however that others will not take
heed. Yesterday afternoon party of
drunken men raised big row on the free
stand and their conduct was disgraceful
They refused to leave and defed the officers
of the ctty police force, who were sent TO
arrest them. The offenders were allowed to
remain for some unaccountable cause, but
there is no reason why they should
not DO prosecuted to the full extent
of the law. Two of the men were
sHoggy'' Leonard and Harry Snyder and
the names of the others can easil v
be secured. 1t remains to be seen whether
the management of the ball club will take as
prominent action against these people "a
they did on the other case. Every lover of
base ball and good order will uphold them
if they do. The police are condemned by
every one for failing to arrest the men, after
once taking a hand In the affair. Good order
must be had and toughs cannot have as much
freedom at a ball game as they take at a
primary.

Dickens Reception

The entertainment provided by the ladies
of Ottawa at the rink last Monday and Tues
day nights in behalf of the library and in the
interests of candidate for the State Indus.
trial school, was an elaborate affair and in ey-
cry way highly credItable to those who de-
signed and carried it to successful compile
ton. All the prominent characters in "1h
Old Curiosity Shop" "Our Mutual Friend"
"Oliver Twist" "Barnaby Ridge" "The
Cricket on the Hearth, Little Dorritt,"
Great Expectations" "Dombey and SOM
and "Pickw'ck Papers" made Mr.. Dickens
call iii formal procession, and after the intro.
auctions and hand-shaklngs were over, gave
an entertainment to the large audience, con
sistng of tabeauX, lively scenes and incidents
drawn from the various writings of the great
author, whose first novels were given to the
world nearly half century ago. Charles
Dickens is dead ID years and as he could not
be present except in spirit at the entertain
ment, Rev. NJ. X Whittlesey personated Mr..
Dickens and did it very we'll. AS the great
author would scarcely have been able to re-
call one-half of the characters Of his own
creation, even in the costumes in which he
clothed them after the lapse of so many
years, they were all formally presented to
him by Willard Gentleman, Esq. As they
passed by in review on the stage which had
been erected in the rear of the rink hall they
were presented formally, and the audience
had the pleasure OF seeing the great motley
group of characters in their costumes, rich
grotesqnc or ragged, as they moved up and
down the aisles to the inspiring strains of
Willis's orchestra. Among those who parti-
culary impressed the FREE TRADER scribe as
being excellent representations of the parts
they represented were the following: Miss
Belle Strawn as the Marchioness in "Oid
Curiosity Shop" and Everett lockwood rs
Joe Gargesy in "Grcat Expectations; also
Mrs. Edith Penney as Mrs. lIavisham in
same book. T. ID. Catlin and Miss Julia
Bushnell as Mr.. and Mrs. Dombey were good
rs was also Miss Sylvia Bushnell AS Florence
Dombey. The Messrs. Noght as Maggy and
Mr.. MeagleS in Little Dorritt" were well
disguised. Miss Mae Blanchard as Dot in
Cricket on the Hearth" was one OF the hits
Of the evening. The Artful Dodger was
faithfully represented by Willie Scott Jas.
