A Few Items Gathered on a Short
Drive in the First.

Mrs. Susan Tanner, wife of Jas. II.
Tanner, of Galesville, was buried from
the Galesville NJ. Z. Church yesterday
afternoon at 8 eaeloek The funeral was
very largely attended by friends OF the
family. interment az the Old Quaser's
burying ground, one mile distant from
the village, Rev Vim. Rodgers ofiiciat
ing.
This being my first drive in the coun-
ty for quite long time, we noticed a
number of improvements on the way and
notably among them is the South River
bridge and the Messrs. Lees property
just across the bridge They have erect
ed several very attractive dwellings, all
in fun view of the public road. II the
crops OF tobacco and corn that I'VE saw
are fair sample of the condition Of
these two in the county, land we see no
reason TO the contrary, our impression
is. that there will be short crop of the
former and only fair one of the latter.
A great many Of the orchards on the
way snow the effects of heavy yield Of
fruit, some OF the peach trees being so
badly broken that one would imagine
they have been visited by a whirlwind.
Apples are yet on the trees in the great
est abundance.
Feeling some interest in matters of
po itics, whilst enjoying the breeze from
the river on friends porch at Gales
Vile, we caught few words from others
who seemed TO be considerably interested
in the coming contest and gather from
it that there will be some ticket scratch
ing among the farmers. but think from
the three tickets. one, unless too fastid-
ious, may be suited.
We learn that the boarding houses at
the village have been filled 10 overflow
and heard a gentleman say that he had
been compelled TO turn of during the
summer at least sixty applicants. A
large house TO accommodate boarders is
something much needed at this place,
as at all seasons there are some TO pat
tonize such place, and from its many
adYantag yes, such as churches, rapid
steamboat communication with Balti-
more city, for bathing, boating, fishing
and last, but by no means the least,
health. We predict for this village a
bright future. We know now of a gem

investment in the village in the shape of
building as above referred to. Not

CARDINAL GIBBONS AT ST. MARy's


The Most Rev. Cardinal Gibbons of
Baltimore, in pursuance of his pastoral
visitations through the diocese, arrived
at Annapolis Saturday evening and was
met at the depot by Rev. Father Cour-
tade, who accompanied him to st. Mary's
Church, where he was received by Rev.
Father Henning, rector, and Revs Faith
ers Brick, Stuhl and the novices. The

rated for the occasion

Fathers Carbary and Uric attired in
sontane and surplice, accompanied by a
number of novices with candles and the
crucifix, received the Cardinal at the
Presbytery, where the procession was
formed, and moved slowly up the church
which was filled with an attentive con-
gregation. During the procession the
congregation paid the greatest reverence
to the ceremony.
High Mass was celebrated by Rev. Fa.
ther Carbary, assisted by Rev. Fathers
Brick and Uric, with Rev. Father Dan
enhauer master of ceremonies, after
which the Cardinal preached an eloquent
and impressive sermon from the third
chapter of Pauls Epislites. He urged his
hearers TO love one another as Christ
had loved them He said they had been
purchased with a price more costly than
gold--the precious blood of Jesus Christ;
that they were his chosen children. who
should inherit eternal life. At the close
of his sermon the Cardinal made some
special remarks TO the parents and chill
dren who were about to be confirme ! in
the Catholic religion. His words were ::
BLESSED are they who have not seen and
yet believe. The Holy Ghost shall de-
scend into your hearte to enlighten and
strengthen you" The sacrament of
confirmation was then administered to
eight males and twenty-three females
the cardinal commanding them to say, at
the same time, the following words !:
Come, OH Holy Ghost. enkindle with
in my heart the fire of thy love"
After the confirmation the Cardinal
addressed the confirmed in a few part
ing words of advice, exhorting them to
pray without ceasing. After the services
the Cardinal was addressed In English,
French, German, Latin, Greek and Pol
ish. In responses he thanked the con
gregation for their remembrance of him,
and said he should never forget their
kindness. Prof. Chas. A. Zimmerman

John leader of the choir.

THE BAPTIST IN THE TaIRp.


The attendance yesterday afternoon at
the Broad Neck Baptist Church. Rev. J..
ID. bayfield,, pastor, was unusually large;
many persons had to remain on the out
side. After the close of the service at
the church the congregation repaired to
the shores of DR.. Barchet, distance of
probably more than a mile from the
church, and witnessed a public INNER
sion, by the officiating minister. This
being the first public immersion that has
taken place in that locality, the people
were quite anxious to witness the cere
mony. The procession of carriages and
various other vehicles which took up
the line of march from the church to the
river was a novel sight.
When preparations had been made the
Rev. Raytield advanced few steps into
the water, offered a brief prayer, in
which he invoked special blessing upon
the candidate that was about to publicly
declare her allegiance to Christ by being
immersed in the limpid waters
A few passages of scripture from Matt.
iii-Acts VIII and Romans vi, were then
read and commented upon. The hymn,
beginning, Must Jesus bear the Cross
Alone" &c, was announced and was
sung by the congregation on the shore
while the minister and the candidate
advanced to a sufficient depth in the
stream. After the candidate publicly
announced her faith in Christ, and felt
that He had pardoned her sins, she
was immersed in the name of the Faith
er, Son and Holy Ghost" While return
ing to the shore the hymn Jesus, my
Cross have taken" &c was heartily sung
by the audience.
The ceremony was very solemn and
impressive, and great respect was given
by all
