NORTH EAST, January 10th, 1889
Rain, freezing and thawing have cadset
us to have bad roads.
The unseasona BILE weather we have hat
has set our fishermen to making some prep
aration for their spring fishing.
A great deal of sickness has been and il
still in our town and through our district
Tie sudden deaths of Mrs. Jessie IL. SHIPPERS
and Mrs. Annie McCracken both young and
beloved by all that knew them, have cast a
gloom over our community. The flowers
friends sent to both were beautiful and the
designs so appropriate, especially the va
cant chair.
The impression is general here that the
Italian known as "Red- Nose Mike" who
was arrested for the murder of Paymastel
Mcclure and companion near Wilkesbarre,
Pa, is the same man who ran a ranch on
the b. & o. r abroad on the line of Wilcox
x D:isbaugh's contract with an Italian who
well known here by the name of Maryanua.
We understand there will be an effort
made in the Fifth district to bring before
the next Legislature IA bill for the conveu-
fence OF this county to create coroner's jury
with a surgeon the said jury and surgeon
to be appointed by the Governor on d fixed
salary and to be located in EIkton. The in
quest held in this district over the BODY OF
the late George Warren shows want of a
bill of this description.
The cyclone that left in its wake 50 much
death and destruction in Pennsylvania, was
felt here but not to the extent of doing any
damage as we have heard Of
exceedingly regret to hear that the
Rev. 7. S. Williams and wife will shortly
leave our town and locate in the West.

This Cecil county case in which consider.
able interest Was taken was decided by a
jury in the Hartford County Court in
favor of the defendants. The action was
one of damages against physicians for
causing, as alleged by unskillfully or
wrongfnlly performing a surgical opera
ton, the death of Matilda Janney. In
affirming the Judgment of the court be-
low in favor of the defendants. the court
of Appeals through Judge Yellott says:
sit was the duty of the professional men
to exercise ordinary care and skill, and
this being duty imposed by law, it will
be presumed that the operation was care

SKETCHES
CECIL COUNTY M. E. CHURCHES.
CHERRY HILL AND UNION HIS.
TORICALLY.
BY REV. 7. A. H. O'BRIEN.
FIRST PAPER.

From a careful study of the history of
the churches in the upper part of Cecil
County, Maryland, prior to the introduce
ton of Methodism, lit is apparent that
the spiritual condition of the people was
quite as deplorable as had been that Of
the people of the mother country when
Wesley and Whitefield commenced their
crusade against the formality and wicked
was quite as much need of revolution
in church affairs as there was in the ad-
ministration of the government. The
churches here had become very low in
Christian experience, so much so that
their religion did not prevent them from
the commission of many gross sins. With
some exceptions many of them would
drink. trolic and dance and all pass off
well. for it was ''lke priest, like people"
Rev. Geo. Whitetield was the first Meth
odist preacher,-for such he may very ap
propriately be styled, since his ''doctrine
differed but little from that proclaimed
by John Wesley, that ever visited this
section, who IN TAO, who on his way
from Rising Sun to Bohemia Manor
passed through Mechanics Valley. Then
in III came Richard Wright, the first
| commissioned Methodist missionary, who
preached the Gospel in this county. But
so deeply rooted was the prejudice against
Methodism and conversion that the peo-
pie would prefer having it said of them
that they we're drunk than that they were
| converted. One church member on his
way home from Elkton with an OK cart,
| fell off the cart drunk and Thomas Mil
Ter, then an elder in the Presbyterian
Church, came along a short time after
ward, and as the man was a neighboI
| thought to get him up and take him
| home, but as soon as the man could
speak he commenced to repeat 'it's nc
conversion; no, 1 am drunk! indeed,
| have not been among the Methodists;
am not converted, am drunk" Hence
as far as l can learn the Methodists were
not established here till about 1900 and
then they worshiped in barns. mills,
schoolhouses and private dwellings. l,
was twenty three years before they could
muster strength to build little log house
20x24 feet called the Union, and then IL
1881 frame building at Cherry Hill a
by 30 feet.

The rendering of the above once a
month created such dissatisfaction in the
community that for the comfort of the
stewards and the bread and butter of the
pastor, it had to be abandoned at once.
April I'd 1877 the trustees gave the
pastor permission to Introduce an organ
into the church services for the improve
ment of the music which was much
against the wishes of not few of the
older members some of whom did not
become reconciled to the presence of the
devils music box as it was called till the
day they were admitted to the church

Dear Brother, d. G. Work.-The Board
of Leaders aud Stewards of this church
have assumed that in view of the solemn

A peculiarly sad death was that of
Philip J. WEIGH recently, humorist
of the New York Sun, and constant
contributor to brakes Magazine, the
Philadelphia Call, Puck, The Judge,
and the Epoch, the standard humor-
GUS publications of the country.
His disease was cancer, and
through long months of suffering his
brilliant sallies of humor flashed on,
increasingly, and the readers of them
throughout the country little dreamed
that they were written in the slowly
darkening shadows of death.
The New York Epoch, published
the week of his death, is before us,
containing column and more of his
matchless witticisms, written almost
while the death damp was on his
brow, and the last issues before his
death of all the publications to which
he contributed contained his writings
dictated by him to his wife up to
three days before his death when de-
lirium set in and his active BRAINS
labor was ended forever Bellefon.

HARRIsoN's PoPULARITY.-Presi-
dent Harrison's Difference to the peo-
pie was shown in a marked manner
when he was inaugurated. The rain
was pouring down in torrents and it
was suggested to him that he should
be sworn in and deliver his inaugu-
raj address in the Senate chamber,
instead of on the platform erected for
the purpose at the east portico of the
capitol. His reply was: "There are
thousands of people out there who
have been waiting patiently for sew
eral hours to see the ceremony and
hear the address, and l do not pro-
pose to disappolnt them. If they
can come ont in the rain to see and
hear me, / can, and shall speak in the
rain. And he did.
Another thing that adds to his per-
sonal popularity is his habit of daily
taking a long walk through the
streets, either unattended or accom-
panied by only friend.
