Inc young ladies' attended the Oxford female
seminary when they reached sufficient years,
and before that received their tuition from
their mother in the home circle and in the
younger schools. Elizabeth Scott, at nine years
Of age, visited her grand parents at Washing
ton, Pa, where she also attended school, but
returned to Oxford, and. with her sister, COM
pleted her education under the instruction of
her father. Miss Scott was married in IS49
to Russell Lord, Of Honesdale, Pa Mr. Lord
had long been Unidentified with the development
Of that mining region, and was civil engineer
on the Delaware and Hudson canal, which he
assisted in bull ling. He was q native of Rome,
Ny.
Mrs. Lords son, Walter Scott Lord civil en-
gineer on the Delaware and Hudson canal, in
charge OF the railroads of that company at Al
bany, New York, was one Of the most promising
young engineers in the country. His death in
1854 terminated a career which promfsed to be
Of exceptional distinction. Mrs. Lords daugh-
ter, Elizabeth, was educated at tho Oxfor
Western female seminary, and in 1878, at
Princeton, married Lieut.. Jno. r. Parker o. s..
y. Lieut.. Parker was assigned naval at
tache of the Berlin commission, and Is now
travelling in Europe with his wife, proposing to
return in the fall. Mrs. Lords younger daugh-
ter Mary, also born at Honesdale. became the
wife, in 1882, of Walter Erskine Dimmick eld-
est son of the late 4. Dimmick. Of Honesdale,
encouragement of Pennsylvania, 1875.
The gratuitous and laborous assistance rem
dered by Mrs. Lord to her sister, particularly
in her correspondence, would suggest the emf
nent propriety il not public necessity Of adding
to the Official household assistant private
secretary for duty under the direction of the
wife of the President. The great bulk Of the
correspondence of Mrs. Harrison grows out OF
her public position as presiding lady Of the ex.
ecutive mansion. With her cares of house
keeping and the large demands upon her time
for conventional not to speak of informal social
duties, all Of which are more for the public
IL r.
vate enjoyment, Congress should at least come
to the rescue by the creation of the Office of pri
vate secretary to the presiding lady Of the ex
ecutiye mansion. DEB. r. K

style.
Mr.. and Mrs Banks, who are two
of Shepherdstown's most respected
young people, will make their home

be happy one We wish them every
good thing in the way of connubial
bliss and prosperity.

and Matte " Dorsey were given a
missionary farewell meeting at the Nj.
+. Church South last Sunday night.
The services were conducted by Rev.
DIR. Gardner, and consisted mainly of
prayer and praise and an address by

Gardeners address, which was both
able and appropriate the ladies named
were given a formal farewell by the
minister in behalf of the congrega-
ton and hearty God-speed to their
several fields of labor in the Master S
vineyard. After the benediction had
been pronounced the choir rendered
the beautiful hymn God be with

touching. DIR. Gardner, in his re-
marks, said that during an itinerary
of thirty-six years he had never be
fore known any church to send from
its congregation at one time three
persons into the missionary field
either as teachers or preachers. He
might also have added that all three
were members of the Charlestown

Remedy for fruit Tree Diseases.

Prof. b. L. Galloway, chief of the
section Of vegetable pathology, De
partmentof Agriculture atWashington
has recently succeeded, as the result
of practical experiments, in produc-
ing a remedy for the diseases called
pear-leaf blight and apple mildew,
which annually cause great destruc-
ton TO these trees As IL result Of
practical experiments he feels Justi'
fled in recommending tito the farmers
and fruit-growers as both efficacious
and economical.
The remedy consists of the applica-
ton of fungicide with appliance, by
which $4,000 plants were sprayed
in a day and a-half at "A cost, not i'll
including labor, of $40 for each
application, five being required to
secure good results.
Experiments of u similar nature
were carried on in the same nurseries,
by whicb--a block of some 200 900
apple seedlings affected by the pow
derry mildew was treated with u prep
aration at total cost of not exceed
ing two cents per 1000 trees. The
results in this case also have proved
highly satisfactory

a field adjoining the woods at the
Dunkard church, on the west toward
the river, near Sharpsburg, Mr. Row

of a man. The pillow ran aside of the

and turned over to the proper author

a tribute to their genius as well as an
interesting anecdote. They were
playing "Ingomarn in Kansas town,
aud when they reached the situation
in the play where the beautiful Par

be sold as a slave, Miss Prescott clung
so piteously to Mr.. Mclean as lingo
mar to save her, and he replied in the
lines of the play, Fear not. | AIN

in the audience, who was seated near
the stage, was so enthused that he
leaped over the footlights and draw
ing dangerous dirk yelled out: by
Gosh! you keep the gal! I'll settle
them fellers.n Mclean and Prescott
laughed as heartily as the audience,
and the curtain was hurried downwhile
Mclean was seen shaking hands with
the cowboy thanking him for his
timely aid.
