the people in a small school house. He did
so, and from that date the gospel has been
preached in Perryville. Since that time
others have taken hold, but We should not
lose sight of nor forget the founders of it,
and those two who now sleep beneath the
green turf, ( mean John and James Shaw }
should have their names framed in letters of
gold. oh how they did pray and toll for
the promotion of the gospel, after riding
miles in storm and rain. Sad too that they
cannot now behold the new church, the
fruits OF their labor. Yet we know that
they have their reward. May God grant
that she who now lies sick, and who was a
co-worker with her brother, may yet enjoy
many seasons of grace in the church
founded by their exertions and influence.
l hope you may deem this worthy a place
IN your paper.

A Fine Farm and Lovely View.

- -~--~.
There is probably no more attractive
view in Cecil county than can be seen
from the handsome residence of Mr..
Samuel Scotch near North East The
homestead stands on high ground, and
from the piazza a lovely scene greeted
our eye on a charming afternoon this
week. In the foreground is the town
with many fine new residences and attrac.
tive old homesteads, while beyond are seen
the rolling hills, the fertile fields and
valuable woodlands of that part of Cecil
county lying between there and the Sus-
quehanna, with those of Hartford in the
distance. The North East river can be
seen from near the town to where it
empties its waters into the Chesapeake,
its shores lined by attractive farms, fish,
cries now in operation, and an occasional
club house where the sportsman is won't
to linger. Spesputia Island, the mainland
of Hartford county and the Narrows that
separate them, are plainly visible to the
naked eye. The two great railroads con-
Meeting the metropolis of Maryland with
that of Pennsylvania also run in plain
view from the residence. A fine field
glass belonging to our host served to
increase the ENJOYMENT of the landscape.
Mr.. ScoGten's residence is not only attrac-
tive for the view, but by Its handsome
appearance, both of exterior and interior.
His barn also is most commodious, and a
marvel of convenience. The condition of
the farm is credit to industry of Mr..
Scotch and his two sons who assist him
in the management of it.
