day Rev. w. f. Speake preached morning and
afternoon with much power and was listened

a student of Dickinson College. There was
large class of practitioners baptized and about
twenty-five received into full membership.

Mr.. Caleb Hunt, aged 81 years, died on We'd
nesday morning. The funeral service will take
place Friday morning at his residence. Inter
ment at st. James p. f. Church, My Lady's
Manor About three years ago Mr. Hunt pnr-
chased the property known as Milton Academy,
leaving his valuable farm near Corbett Station,
which has lately been bought by Mr.. Mcllvaine.
For many years previous to the Northern Cen
trail II. r. being built Mr.. Hunt kept an inn
and market-yard at the place where he died
He was very successful in business at that time
but the traffic by pike having decreased, be-
cause of the railroad he abandoned the inn and
bought the farm which he greatly improved
and by his own energy kept it in the best con-
dition. AS he advanced in years he was unfor-
tunate in some respects, and though possessed
of means and the farm. he lost much. Mr.;
Hunt was always of a mild temperament and
lived a moral life. He was good neighbor
and had many friends. He lived under all the
Presidents this country has had and could tell
of many interesting events of the past country's
history He was drafted during the war of 1872
and being opposed to taking up arms procured
a substitute,
On Tuesday next Rev. f. H. Havenner ex-
poets to start on a two weeks visit to Ocean
Grove.
Mr.. William Miles has been confined to his
house for three weeks with rheumatism.
The weather has much retarded farmers with
their harvest and the continuation of rain will
surely damage the grain that is in shock.
Much of it is still uncut and this no doubt, will
suffer less injury. Much hay which was ready
to put away is greatly damaged. Some corn is
vet to be worked and that cannot be done Ow-
ing to the earth being so saturated with water.
The farmer is surely in a bad fix.
The rains of Monday and Tuesday were very
heavy, washing roads and fields badly.
