The long-looked-for oyster bill was
introduced into our Legislature last
Monday. It is a lengthy document,
nto which have been incorporated,
some of the suggestions of Governor
McKinney's oyster message, some OF
the provisions of the existing law and
several suggestions of the oystermen.
The measure provides for leasing the
grounds. natural oyster beds except
ed, for a term of twenty years at one
dollar per acre-thelimit being placed
at $50 acres to one person, except in
deep water on the Chesapeake bay.
A natural bed is defined in the bill
as "any bed, rock CT shoal which,
Curing the period of the previous
five years, has furnished livelihood
to the public, or from which tongs-
en- have been able to gain fair
average daily remuneration"

Mr.. Spurgeon is dead. He passed
away quietly and peacefully Sunday
night. and the news of his death will
be received with genuine sorrow
throughout Christendom. He was
the greatest preacher of modern times
and an orator, perhaps, without a
peer, in his day. He believed in his
divine mission and countless thous-
ands who have felt his influence will
not dispute the claim. He was
Known as Baptist. but he was toe
great man for any church to claim
him exclusively. An assertion once
made by him, that Luther and IVES
ley were TOO great benefactors of the
world to belong entirely to any one
denomination, applies with equal
force to him.

The advocates of the Kent railroad
bill, it is stated, are nota enthusi-
astic in its support as they were
earlier in the session of the Legisla-
ture of our State, and it is even said,
that no railroad commission bill, will
be passed by this Legislature. The
above statements, if correct, mean,
that very many statesmen will find
themselves on the retired list, when
they are called upon to give an ac-
count of their stewardship to the
people. We were of the opinion,
during our last election, that the
most of our legislators committed
themselves to the passage of q rail
road bill.

MENToNE, 1TALY, January 81
Mr.. Sturgeon, the great London
preacher, died here shortly after !
o'clock tonight; aged fifty-eight
wears. He suffered many years from
cont, which finally went to his head.
Rev. Charles Haddon Spurgeon
has long been the Beecher OF Eng
land, but has always remained a
strictly orthodox Baptist. Indeed,
his withdrawal from the Baptist
Union some tire ago was brought
about by TOO great liberality on the
rart of those from whom he Volun-
tarily severed himself.
At that time he said: TO pursue
union at the expense of the truth Is
treason to Jesus. To tamper with
his doctrines is to become traitors to
him We have before us the wretch
ed spectacle of professedly orthodox
Christians publicly avowing union
with those who deny the faith, call
the fall of man fable. and deny the
personality of the Holy Ghost.
Mr.. Spurgeon was born at Naive
don. Essex, in 1884, was educated at
Colchester, and became an under
teacher at NeWlnarkeI. ileu He
Joined the Baptist congregation that
had been presided over by Robert
Hall at Cambridge, and soon became
q village preacher. When he was
nineteen years old ne was persuaded
TO GO to London, and his words were
so persuasive that it was found neces-
sary to build q tabernacle for the
people who fiocked to hear them. Its
capacity was after awhile found to
be inadequate, and the present struc-
ture, holding between 5000 and 6,00C
people, was built. Mr.. Sturgeon IS
sermons are distinguished by the
simple earnestness with which they
are delivered, and the homely illus
trations and applications that per-
wade them.
