Christmas has passed and nothing of special

been happy, children especially, Santa Claus
never forgets them.
Our farmers are anxiously awaiting the
meeting of our Legislature, anticipating some
legislation protecting their interests.
1t has taxed all our energies to keep your
Sykesviile correspondent in the marrow

of the way. He first proposed to make a
miscellaneous mass Of us, and then COM
muted that sentence by proposing to give us
free pass over the highway that leads to the
metropolis of warm climate, with letter OF
introduction to the chief magistrate of that
dominion. Since that he has on tive Qeca-
sions attempted to immerse us in pools where
he, as an expert, is wont to swim, but while
we were being sprinkled with the liquid jet,
he, being of the hard shell Baptist persuasion,
attempted to baptize his inner man by INNER
sion, and having not fully recovered from
former attempts, his nerves gave way, and he
t'went under.'' After his remains had been
recovered and laid in state for several hours,
he partially revived and entered upon our
obituary; but when he was informed that it
was not sold Freedom Miscellaneous but
himself that was drowned, he wept bitterly
and was penseroso. With the remark that
he wished that we might each live to see the
other die. he relapsed His remains were
placed in a vault at the Hotel de Berry. The
deceased was a good man, and his sad end
will be mourned by many friends, and espe-
cially by the Prohibition Alliance of Sykes

our obituary. We haye written his. May he
rest IN peace. Amen,

Gen. Cary,s Lecturs.

A full house greeted Gen. Samuel F. Cary,
of Ohio, with enthusiasm at Odd Fellows
Hall on Tuesday night last, on the occasion
of his first lecture. His subject was ''The
Mistakes of Moses or Ingersoll-Which? p
His treatment of the subject was vindication
of the great truths enunciated by the inspired
author of the Pentateuch against the assaults
of Col. Robert Ingersoll, whom he denomi-
mated the modern "farthing rushlight' of in
fidelity, who uttered nothing new in his vapid
presentation of the ideas of Bolingbroke, Vol
ney, Hume, Rousseau, Paine and Voltaire,
from the latter of whom he chiefly drew his
inspiratirE I;he-s ell vainly hurtled their
impious lanees against the shield &c divine
truth, and, like the ephemera, Auttered their
wings, in their brief day, in the atmosphere of
coveted notoriety and passed away, while the
truth of God remains, and shall remain, amidst
the war of elements, the wreck of matter and
the crush of worlds Gen. Gary yields the
spear of Ithuriel, at whose touch the ugly and
venomous toads of wickedness and inhdelity
stand revealed to the light, so that the least
observant can turn and discern between truth
and error. The pigmy lance of Ingersoll was
shattered into fragments, as one after another
his objections to the Mosaic narrative were
taken up and exploded, while the truths re-
corded by the great leader of Israel shone
more distinctly by the investigation. Gen.
Cary spoke for an hour and half, and closed
by some apologize remarks for OBTAINING his
audience so long, but there seemed to be no
signs of WEAKNESS from the audience or
speaker.
Gen. Cary was presented to the audience by
Mr.. James A. Diffenbaugh, Public School
Examiner for Carroll county, who explained
that the proceeds of the lecture were for the
benefit of the organ fund for Central Hall
School, Westminster. Prof. Spurrier pre-
ceded the lecture by some vocal exercises,
which were much appreciated by the audience.
Miss Julia Yingling presided at the organ.
Solos, Duets and choruses from fifteen or
twenty young girls were admirably rendered.
The Westminster Band was present and lent
additional interest to the occasion.
The lecture on Wednesday evening was on
the subject of temperance. Although trite
theme, his genius and eloquence threw around
it an absorbing interest, which held the
closest attention of his audience for more than
On hour.
Gen. Cary left here Thursday morning for
Boston, where he has an engagement for this
saturday. evening. Few men occupying the
platform at the present day possess the power
to amuse and instruct an audience to greater
degree than he.
The young men who engaged Gen. Cary IS
services are entitled to the thanks of the COM
munity for affording them so agreeable and
profitable an entertainment.

Christmas was an unusually quiet day in
Sykesville, the only diversion was in the Fac

to celebrate too soon, and by ten O'Clock
every niger in the Row wanted to fight.
Justices Forsyth and Favour were called on
to quell the disturbance. They found black
eyes, bloody noses and ugly razor cuts among
the crowd. The presence of these two dig
nitaries. although they both showed consid-
cradle Christmas, had soothing effect, and
the troubled waters were claimed. Good din
ners abounded everywhere; but probably the
best was at the hospitable home of Capt. w.
P. Gorsuch, in Turkey Thicket.n Among
those present were Capt. j. W. Bennett, W.

night was better filled than it has been for

after which candies and nuts were distributed
with lavish hand, and all were made happy.

also large gathering of children and Christ
mas tree. The event of the evening there
was the presentation of a gold headed cane to
