the public, feel assured that by their
efforts to entertain, though somewha'
amateurish, chat they have done
credit to themselves as well as the
cause they represent.
The exercises were opened by the
President, Mr. E. X. Brown in few
well chosen remarks as to the oh
ject of the meeting and hope of the
temperance workers in the near flu

The Ice Boat at Port Deposit.

The iceboat Baltimore arrived at
the mouth of the Susquehanns at
noon Wednesday. The Baltimore
made fine progress, the ice, which is
from lU to II inches thick, yielding
readily before the sharp prov of the
vessel. About one-half mile north
of the B. & o. railroad bridge the
Baltimore struck the gorged ice
This was broken up one month ago
and then gorged against the solid ice
until il attained thickness of from
5to 10 feet. Subsequent cold wealth.

solid body. In her efforts to break
this mass the boat slid upon the ice
ont of the water and became perfect

ahead or back. This occurred about
3 o'clock in the afternoon. The

Grace, was employed to go to the
rescue early yesterday morning.

To AN INDULGENT PUBLIC:
We do not propose to
write you Lecture, Sermon, or
Essay on the fraiities of Human
nature, but wish to have a con-
fidential chat with you on that
/. subject, as far as it is connected
with the Watch and Jewelry bus
mess. When we first started in
this business in the spring of
1875 it was with high hopes
and a high and holy desire to do
Justice to all both ia good sold,
work repaired and to reap a pc
caniary reward, sufficient to help
US oyer the rough places Of life,
In our short experience of ap-
premiership previous to that
time zoe did not claim 10 know
it all, but expected at all times
to keep a practical and reliable
journey man But alas How
quick the tide turned. A few
watches stopped, perhaps from
the neglect of the owners it
might have been our fault. Soon
it was said by some ''that boy
is not fit to fix a watch;" why I
bought watch key from him
and my watch stopped the next
day, afnot, This, just such unreas-
enable remarks drove away the
large trade of my predecessor,
then my journeyman had to go.
Then there a0as trouble in the
jewelry store. Youth and mex
perience battling with the cold
heartless world. Many, except
some steadfast friends. ready to
fulfil the old adage, "When a
man commences to go down hill
give him kick" But with q firm
belief that truth and right would
prevail | held on with a pluck
and energy that had it been APP
piled to other business or other
places, would have enabled me
to count my dollars by the thous.
ands instead of hundreds. But
the past has gone and cannot
be retrieved. Thirteen years
have nearly passed away, and
with the struggles and triumphs
Of business here and in the trade
work shop of Phila, / find that
I have dearly bought the exper-
fence that now enables me to
say | am competent to put in
good order any work that you
may leave with me. | devised
a Watchmakers Record for my
own use but conceived the idea
of placing it on the market for
sale Attempting to do this [
found I was unable to meet the
requirements of nav increasing
trade so called from the city my
former helper Mr.. Wm. Shep-
pard who is toe we'll known to
need any recommendation from
me as this rs hisnative place. he
worked at the business here for
three wears, and several months
in a fine jewelry and repair store
