eminet young Philadelphia physician.
was married Thursday to Miss Mary
L. Baird, daughter of the late Mat.
thew Baird, of Philadelphia. The
bride, tall. stately girl. is heiress to
nearly S2,0OO,0OO, and is noted for her
quiet charities. When a mere child.
her father, Matthew Baird, placed in
bank, to her credit, the sum of $780,
600, with the distinct understanding
that she was not to touch it until she
came of age, and rumOr has it that she
has never yet had occasion to use one
penny of it. The groom, DR.. Shakes
peare, is one of the leading medical
lights of the city, who has recently
returned from an extended tour of in
curry into the cholera germs in Spain
and other countries. He is a recog-
nlzed authority on bacteriologv. and
has contributed many papers and
books to the literature of the present
day on that and kindred medical sub

time was state senator from Kent
county. DR.. z. o. Shakespeare is a
native of Delaware and was clerk of

A Maryland Chicken Thief.

A NEGRO of unsavory reputation"
sold l25 pounds of chickens to Mr..
William Perkins, a Templeville mer-
chant, on a Saturday. The night
before Mr.. Gustavus Porter's chicken
roosts were raided, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Porter tracked the chickens to Tenn
pleville and identified them in Perkins
possession. The negro of unsavory
reputation" who sold the chickens to
MIR. Perkins was arrested. He ex-
planned his possession of the chickens
by saying that "Mr. John A. Hollings-
worth, young farmer and ex-consta-
bic, and son of Capt. Colin Hollings-
worth, prominent citizen of the 2d
district and the employer of the man
with "unsavOry reputation" had given
him the chickens to take to Temple
vile, sell them and bring the money to
him (HOllingswOrth). These facts are
CLEANED from a Centreville paper; and
in it all there's nothing unusual. The
astonishing part is in the sequel, in
which we are told that the magistrate
before whom the proceedings were,
held Mr.. HOllingswOrth in the sum of
$500 for his appearance at the Novem-
ber term of Court. We are not sur
prised to learn that Capt. Colin Hol-
lingsworth, who was present at the
hearing, was much inoensed at the
charges brought against his son and
jumping into a carriage they both
drove off. Chicken thieves of "unsa-
worry reputation" are numerous in
Talbot and when caught they always
want to make explanations, but there
is not magistrate in the county who
would pay the slightest attention to
their statements inculpating their re-
spectacle employers. Hollingsworth S
arrest looks like an outrage Eastou

About Middletown Burgiaries.

ID. ,. Cunningham and Charles H.
Neumayer, of Philadelphia. agents of
r. ,. Davis, publisher, at 1881 Filbert
street in that city, arrived at Middle
town on Tuesday afternoon of last
week and were arrested early the next
morning on suspicion of attempted
burglary. They were given hearing
before Squire Wilson and succeeded in
completely exOnerating themselves of
al suspicion and were discharged.
The case was clearly one of mistaken
identity. The attempt at burglary was
made on the jewelry store of Mrs. J.

nesday morning. The thief attempted
to cut the glass out of the front door
IN order to get at the lock. He made

Hred at him from a secOnd-story win
dow and also fired several shots at
him as he ran away. A colored man
saw the man run toward the National

with that of Cunningham that he was
arrested on suspicion and Neumayer.

A Novel Wedding.
THE CEREMONY PERFORMED WITHOUT

A novel wedding occurred Wednes-

Lizzie Fox VeaZeY, of Wilmington,
Del. and Joseph Ferral, of Philadel-
phia, both deaf mutes were married by

similar manner.
When it came to the question by the
minister asking: do you take this
man for your lawful husband ?" the

A Strange Will.

Henry Colum, of White County,
Ga, had a will drawn last week which
will doubtless lead to litigation if not
changed. He is the father of several
children, and the will debars them of
any right to his property, which
amounts to about ten thousand dollars,
consisting of farming lands and money.
The entire estate is made over to the
blind One-armed and one-legged Con-
federate soldiers of Hall and White
cOunties-made so by the late war.
No soldier of such disability is included
unless he has voted the democratic
ticket ever since the party was rein
stated since the war. Mr.. COllum, who
is seventy.seven years of age, has
always been considered a peculiar man
but upright in his dealings with his
fellow man.

Revision of the Confession of
Faith.
Mr.. EDITOR !:

MR.. EDITOR
notice in your last weeks issue an
allusiOn to some proceedings of the
Presbytery of New Brunswick, looking
to revision of the Confession of Faith
that has so long been recognized as the
doctrine of that denomination. 1t is
not wonder that they should talk of
revision. The wonder really is that
it has been allowed to stand without
revision SO long. Although published
later, its leading features are plainly
traceabie to the stormy period that
followed what is known as the 'Refor-
nation" Many points of doctrine
were then debated with great bitterness.
Important points of truth suffered
greatly from the heat of their defend
ers, perhaps even more than from the
violence of their Opposers. Mankind
are creatures Of extreme, and especially
so on top that they do not fully under
stand extremes on one side leads to
extremes on the other, and so in some
OF their discussion the extravaganza Of
their language amounted to the grossest
absurdlties. | do not speak of the
Presbyterian confession Of faith alone.
the heated controversies of former
times may readily detect even in
hymns as well as declarations of faith
Of different denominations the peculiar
phraseOlogy that has been handed
down from the forefathers. The Ian
guage and spirit of Calvin is plainly
traceahle in those quotations that you
have published. Reverence for the
refOrmers is all we'll enough, but it is
not well to have them supercede in
spiratiOn. Without questioning the
continued adherence to the doctrine
that has distinguished that denOmina-
ton as what they understand the
Scriptures to teach, speak only of the
phraseOlOgy which don't suppose any
council of Presbyterian ministers that
could be got together would now adopt.
Revision undoubtedly will come.

The Rev. A. w. Lightbourne.
SUDDEN DIsAPPEARANCE OF A TAI
ENTED CLERGYMAN.

The Rev. Albert w. Lightbourne has
been in charge of church and con-
gregatiOn, which he founded and built
up, in Port Chester. n. Y. Recently
1t became necessary for him to receive
medical treatment, for a mental dis
order, and he was under the care and
IN the charge of physicians in New
York city.
Last week news was received bV Mr.
Lightbourn's Pensioners that he had
fully disappeared, having escaped from
the care of his medical attendents.
Nobody knows where he has gone. his
family, in Port Chester, being left with
out the slightest clew, and no one can
tell how he escaped from the care of
those who were administering to him.
The only intimatiOn that he planned
to become a fugitive was a letter
written to a friend in Port Chester, in
which he said that he felt that he
must have perfect rest, and that he
was going to some quiet place where
he could find rest for his aching head :"
That was the last heard from him.
The family have sought information in
every direction where it was thought
likely he might go, but as yet without
the slightest trace of him.
Mr.. Lightbourne is said to have
always shown a marked fondness for
smoking, horse-racing and other
worldly diversions, and when it be-
came known that he was in poor
health some of his fellow-townsmen
whispered among themselves that it
was due to his habits. These tieshly
tendencies were the cause of an inves-
tigation in the first church to which he
ministered. He was originally Meth
Odist, stationed at Wyoming, and Mil
ton, Del, and EastOn, Md. Here his
alleged free indulgence in cigars and
fast horses, and more especially at his
reported persistent attendance at
circuses, caused quite a scandal, and
he was summoned to appear before a
committee appointed by the presiding
elder Of the district. He was acquit-
ted of the charges preferred against
him and soon after saw fit to resign
his charge.

There are 5000 medical women in
the United States whose incomes range
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year. The
number is increasing every year and
the supply of lady doctors bids fair to
be as great as the male physicians.
Austria is the only civilized country in
the world which prohibits women from
entering into medical profession. Rus

Queens of Italy and Roumania employ

A Tribute to the Memory of
Mrs. H. M. Jones.

Ifeel l can hardly allow to pass
from among us such a life as that of
Harriet NJ. Jones, without a few words
to express the worth of her character.
She came to the little town of Kenton
nearly forty years ago. Her father,
George Heritage, was a lay preacher
in the Methodist church, and with
him, she had travelled over much of the
Peninsula, and much of her education
was gained at school near Washing
ton. She was extremely fond of books
and read all that came within her
reach, that her busy days would per-
nit, thus cultivatinS her mind and
giving 1t wider scope. She married
VIM. b. Jones, VINO died three wears
ago, and seven children grew up
about them-but the years were years
OF struggle and anxiety. Nobly did
she do her mother work keeping her
little family close about her, teaching
them what home meant as far as she
could; always influencing them for
good. She was a proud spirited
wOmad, whose life was cramped by
circumstances to narrow sphere, but
in that sphere "she did what she
could" and did 1t nObly. Outside her
home she was a good neighbor, and
true friend. For nearly fifty years she
fought with patient courage that grim
enemy consumption, at times being a
quiet sufferer, but always resigned,
ready she said to go when her work
was done" Many will mourn her loss
outside her immediate family and some
who are far away, will on their return
find a quiet void in the circle of home
friends, as they miss her welcoming
face. May her life of patient work
noble endeavor and christian example
influence those she has left behind
and may she, kind good friend and
neighbOr for over twenty years. rest
well, in the peace of the Fathers Home;
well done good and faithful servant. .
