Holmes, Conservative, offered the mo-
tion Of which he had given notice. II
was to the effect that the S louise, be-

declined to fall into the trap set for him.

were inextricably associated. The gov

the late government had proposed CO.

been followed by disastrous conse-

he was glad to hear Dayitt preaching

Filling Up.

In the late spring our Jail was
without prisoner incarcerated for
crime and we mentioned the fact and
predicted the near approach of the
millennium in our county. We now
think that it will be postponed for a
while as the Jail contains at present
23 inmates with additions being
made almost daily. There are eight
cen men, three colored women, and
two colored children. It is many
weeks until court meets but it prom
ises considerable work for the grand
Jury at the September term Wing.

Commissioner Cooley on Education

County Commissioner, w. R. Cool
ey being critic sed for his action in
refusing to appropriate funds for a
school house at Perryville, in his de-
fense says:
my views about popular education
is that whatever we can give our chill
dren, whether it be no more than
can be obtained from few element
ary books, should be thorough. | am
opposed to the policy of burdening
our children with books upon the
sciences of the day which their young
minds are unable to grasp in the
short time they have to attend school.
1t may be we'll enough for the child
rem of the rich, but the children of
the poor have generally to earn por
zion of their bread as soon as able
and hence have not the time to waste
on these higher studies
These views are eminently sound.
Our present school system is too ex-
pensive and withal is impracticable.
The course of lessons is to extensive.
The course contemplated by the
school men who laid it down is be-
yond the reach of three fourths of
the pupils who receive their education
in the public schools. They have not
sufficient time to attend school to be-
come efficient in so many branches,
and in acquiring a smattering of all.
they master none thoroughly. The
branches of knowledge which the
great mass of bread earners use to
assist them in their life work should
be provided free to all by the state
Shorn of great deal of supUrfluous
study, would tighten the task OF
teachers and vastly benefit the pupils
Those who have time and desire for
higher education could pay for it at
private school where it is properly
aud thoroughly taught.

The Beauty and Glory of Going to

Messrs. Peter Galloway and Mich
ael League are downtown neighbors.
The first raises chickens the other
keeps a dog; and from the close
proximity Of the fowls and the brute
tie each other, trouble has resulted.
The dog chased the chickens, wor-
ried them, and it is alleged, killed
some of them. Mr.. Galloway shot
the dog. He was arrested for using
firearms on the street, and had to
pay fine of 50, and 90 cents cost.
Mr.. League sued Mr.. Galloway for
the value of the dog, and Justice
Penning gave him So damages, Mr..
Galloway to also pay 8.24 costs.
Then Mr.. Galloway sued Mr.. League
for the value of the chickens the dog
had killed recovering So damages,
and Mr.. League had to pay $3.50
costs.-Havre de Grace Republican.

Rigby's.
cussion,

Few places of so small Importance
have acquired local fame equal to
this famous meeting place. 1t is a
work of supererogation to explain
that Rigby's is a noted place for hold
ing yearly religious meetings Of the
colored people. This spot is on the
narrow gauge railroad which runs be.
tween Peach-bottom, on the Susque-
hama in Lancaster county, and Ok
ford, Chester county, Pa, at Arcadia
station in the former county.
Forty years ago this was noted
place for holding large bush meetings.
One day in the year, the second Sun
day in August, the meeting was held
this year, and we presume this is the
annual meeting day. AS far back as
the writer can remember large crowds
of colored people assembled at Rig
by's. The meeting was instituted by
leading colored methodist, whose
name was jeff Rigby, and remark
able feature connected with this fam
Gus meeting is that it has rained but
one Sunday in 2s years GA the occa.
sion of this meeting, SO that it has
become popular sayingehat it never
rains on Rigby's day.
Last Sunday was Rigby's day for
1886, and the sun came up smiling
with one of the most lovely and pleas
ant days of the season before it. AS
usual the Weeting drew together a
large crowd Of people, numbering
1000 or more, the whEbes numbering
rather more than the colored folks.
Trains ran nearly every ten minutes
on the narrow gaage from Peach bot
tom to the meeting. The road was
lined with boothes in the neighbor-
hood of the little ehurch which was
headquarters of the gathering, and a
lively business was carried on in
peanuts, cakes. candies, ice cream
and such. Whfss1ey YVES not a'togeth-
er absent, but being modest and retir.
ing in its nature, kept in the back
ground. Pretty good ooaer was main
tanned there being but oone fight dur
ing the day, atsd it far out, in the
woods on king aloob0fs skirmish
line. In years past there used to be
bloody fights at these annual meet
ings, but society seems TO be improv.
ling in this respect. There is nothing
apparent to attract the crowd but the
crowd. The preaching is Insignificant.
This year so-called preacher, a COL
ored brother from Lancaster, occupi.
ed the pulpit and addressed the con-
gregation as "brethering'' and "sistr.
ing
The present meeting ground is
some distance from the original To-
cation, moved to Arcadia station to
be more convenient to the railroad.
A new church has been built at the
present meeting spot. And this is a
historical description of Rigby. Less
probably in the early and darker ages
of christianity has served to canon
ize a name.
