0hildren's Day.

"Children's Day" was observed on Sun
day morning last in the Presbyterian
Church. The church had been hand
somely and tastefully decorated. The
two lamp pillars were clothed in laurel,
flowers and leaves being agreeably inter-
mingled. The base of each window was
filed with bank OF ferns and magnolias,
At 1890 the Sabbath school marched to
the front of the church, singing march
tune, and took the seats there left vacant
for them. After prayer the choir, assist
ed by about fifteen children's voices sang
"King All Glorious" a stirring anthem.
The pastor and school conducted an ex-
ercise of responsive reading, and then
went on TO an exercise in which twelve
small children recited each verse, the
initial letters of the subject words of the
several verses spelling "Children's Day"
AS each child finished, her letter, trim
med with laurel and roses, was hung up
in order on wires strung between the
lamp pillars. These little verses were
interspersed with music by the school.
The pastor, Rev. Malone, contributed to
the interest of the occasion by some well
chosen remarks upon the origin and OBJ
ject of Chidren's Day. The exercises
were great success.
Three children were baptised during
the services.

Mr.. John Tweed is improving the APP

along his garden next to the public road,
and has in contemplation the building of
a saw MILL May he be able to see clearly
the need and pay of such an enterprise.
With lots of saving to be done in the
vacinity; a good road to and from the
mill plenty of power, race already, we
do not see why such an investment
would not pay.
Mr.. 7. W. Bye with force of four
Virginia men, has been strengthening

wet. lie further contemplates, altering
and grading his yard in front of his
house, and other improvements that
when completed will add greatly to the
appearance of his place ! hear that he
still has horses for sale.
As some of your correspondents claim
large territory, will just say that our
afIable butcher, Mr.. Dougherty, is pre-
pairing to build large barn, and if we
may be permitted to cross the Mason
and Dixon's line, Mr. Holland has erect
ed, the frame of another very fine barn.
Now to get back to the East Side of

large straw-house, and Mr.. ]. Strickland
has put our roads in complete order.
Mr.. ]. Crossan continues to improve
his place by cleaning it ofrubbish, ditch

Permit me to cross the line again, to
say that Mr.. Radclift sells no berries that
Glasgow cannot beat.
The workmen are about ready to raise
the large barn of Mr.. VIM. Mcmillan
near Flint Hill.
We had the pleasure of listening to
Mr.. Brady, the Superintendent of New
London circuit, at Flint Hill appoint
ment two weeks ago last Sabbath, for the
first time, and have no hesitancv in say
ing, that he showed himself workman
that need not be ashamed rightly divid-
ing the Word of Life. Text; "the Love
of Christ constraineth u.s." His object
was to show the difference between the
love of Christ and that of man. And as
we listened to his earnest appeal for the
superiority of Christ's love we were
forced to exclaim, "surely the love o
Christ constraineth him." We wish hin
great success in his new field.

Base Ball-Newark VS.. Glasgow.

Two mines, mainly composed of young
players, and representing the above
mentioned towns, played game of ball
on the Homewood grounds on Saturday
last The Newark club seemed to be
overmatched, and at the end of the first
half of the seventh inning the score
stood Glasgow, 8; Newark, 2. In this
inning, however, the Glasgow boys be-
came ratified, and allowed Newark to
score five runs, mono of them earned.
But for an error of the Glasgow second
basaman the Newark boys should not
have scored at all in this inning. Score
now, 0 to 7, Glasgow still leading. In the
eight Newark scored one run leaving
them in pretty good shape. Glasgow
however scored three times in the ninth,
mainly through errors of the Newark
right fielder. Result, less enthusiasm.
But the game was not yet lost. The last
ball of the ninth inning is given in de-
tail, for thereby hangs tale. Newark
come to the bat, needing four runs to tie,
five to win. Fred Choate reached first,
and was advanced one base by Lavender.
Wells and Moran each followed with
infeld hits, and through errors by Glas.
gov third baseman, both reached first
safely, and all runners made one base
each, bringing Choate in. Three men
were still on bases, and no hands out.
Mclaughlin hit to Frazier, who made
the mistake of slowly tossing the ball to
Thornton and thus made the decision
closer on Lavender at home. Umpire
said out, all others said not out. Much
argument and confusion followed. Amid
this confusion Glasgow neglected the
bases, and the three baserunners all scor-
ed. Glasgow now wanted the earth.
They not only wanted Lavender given
out, but they also asked that the three
men who had scored should also go back
to their bases. Newark offered now to
compromise by submitting to the decis-
ion on Lavender, but Glasgow, without
any defensible reason, refused to play fur
Their. By existing baseball rules, the
game was thereby forfeited to Newark
by a score of 8 to O.. We understand
however, that there will be another
game played soon. Newark badly needs
strengthening in the outfield.

Mile Rhea Night.

This evening Mile Rhea will appear at
the Opera House in that charming play
The Country Girl" in which the star
takes the role of Peggy. The attendance
promises to be very large. The Boston
Herald says of Rhea in this character:
As ''lle Rhea stepped upon the stage in
the se' nd act of The Country Girl,n in
the Character of a boy, dressed is a most
becoming costume, she excited much eenu-
Inc admiration in the audience. Mile Rhea
has a weil-propOrtioned figure which lends
itself gracefully to the outlines of male
hablllments and, with the donning of the
dress, she assumed the character of a boy,
not forgetting, however, by subtle and del
icate suggestion, to remind the audience
that beneath that masculine exterior there
beat a tender trusting heart filled with the
pure and hopeful love of an innocent girl.
Her %archness, piquant raillery, roguish-
ness and affected jauntiness in the more
pronounced of the comedy scenes was SIM
ply delicious, and the return of the PAGE
to the more modest, but less becoming cos
tune of Peggy, would have been regretted
but for the desire to see her happily united
to the lover whom she had SO nobly striven
to win.
