Rev. Dallas Tucker.

The resignation of Mr.. Tucker as
rector of Zion Church is indeed a
loss to this community. For ten
years he and his excellent wife have
Iabored faithfully and with abundant
results in and about Charles Town,
and We have no doubt that in the
day of judgment many will raise up
and call them blessed for the work
they have done here. Under his min
istry the church building was remod-
led and made seemiy inside; the
church tower was built and sur
mounted with beautiful emblem of
the christians faith; new sweet
toned bell which he procured now
hangs in the steeple and calls wor-
slippers for miles around TO this con-
secrated place. He lad the old
churchyard, in which rest the re-
mains of many of the ancestors of
the living members of the church,
changed from neglected condition
TO beautiful ground worthy of its
associations. This hallowed spot now
recalls TO our mind that beautiful
stanza which was rejected from the
original Of Gray's EIegy-
"Hark. how tic holy calm that breathes
around
Bids every fierce tumultuous passion cease,
ground
grateful earnest of eternal peace"
He organized mission for the col
ored people aud had commodious
and tasteful chapel, parsonage and
schOol-house built for them, and they
now have regular services by a wor-
thy clergyman of their own race.
On the mountain, five miles distant,
st. Andrews Chapel is another mon
ument to his zeal and devotion to the
cause of his Master. The Parish
Building and Parish Library, in the
centre of the town, are agencies for
good which his piety inspired. He
has'been ever ready to visit the sick
and the poor, who now feel that they
have lost a friend. His wife drew
about her a large number of little
and she has implanted into
of youthful minds in this
seeds that will yield
much grain in the great reaping time.
This little family having already sent
over to the other shore so much
treasure in the form of good deeds.
must feel happy in assurance that
after while they will go thither to
enjoy it.

Crim--cIIpp.


One of the most interesting mar
riages that have taken place in our
midst for many months was solemn
lied Wednesday evening, October 10,
at y o'clock, at the residence of tue
brides parents, when Mr.. George
w. S. Grim and Miss Maggie Il.
Clipp were made man and wife.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
II. p. Hamill, in his usual graceful
and impressive style. They were
encompassed with symbols of joy
bright lights, sweet pervading music,
and a concourse of assembled friends,
their faces beamiug with the light of
good wishes reflected from their
hearts. The ushers were Mr. T. B.
Dick and Mr.. Dawson, OF Brunswick.
The groom wore the convent onal
black. The bride Was exquisitely
attired in cream cloth, and carried q
bouquet of Marechal Mel roses.
After the ceremony the company
repaired TO the DINING room, where
an elegant repast Was spread, to
which all did justice. The presents
were handsome and numerous. The
happy couple left the next morning
for Washington, Philadelphia and
other cities.

a LISTENER

A few days ago we observed Col.
Geo. A. Porterfield wearing unique
gold button upon the lapel of his
coat, and upon examination found it
n badge of his membership of the
'tAztec Cuban organization form
ed in the City of Mexico October I3,
1S47, and composed of officers of the
United States Army who participated
actively in the war with Mexico.
Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott, command
ing the army, and Rev. John McCarty
brigade chaplain, were made hon
orary members. OF the 254 mem
bers, two of them, GEMS. Pierce and
Grant, became President, and one
hundred and thirty-two became gen.
erals-among them L. L. Lee and
Joseph f. Johnston. Col. Porter
field went to Mexico as Adjutant of
the Virginia Volunteers, and later
succeeded Gen. Irwin Mcdowell
(who commanded the U S. Army Mt
Manassas) as Asst. Adjt. General of
the division at Buena Vista. Colonel
Porterfeld was not in the City of
Mexico with the Army of Occupation
at the time of the organization of the
club, but was admitted TO member
ship later.-Free Press,

The Darkey's Dream would have
been credit to professionals. Mr..

the solo and the drummers' perfect
limitations of clogs made the piece
simply grand, and last but not least
came the sequel. one of Mr. Jennings
most difficult marches, in which Mr..

on the trombone. In fact the entire
programme was rendered beautifully.

GRAND FORKS, n. D.. AGg. 4.-Gen-
eral agents of insurance companies
doing business in this city have today
completed the investigation of the fire
department, equipment and service.
They also have in person inspected the
condition of the streets and alleys.
Their findings will be embodied in a
report to their agencies and also
III a report to the city authorities,
which will be fled tomorrow with
City Auditor Hale and by him laid be-
fore the city council next Monday even
ing. 1t is understood that the report
will unQualifiedly commend the organi-
Zation and efficiency of the fire depart
ment, but will come down heavy on the
neglect of streets and alleys and the ac-
emulation of rubbish of a cOmbuStlble
character. They will demand complete
renovation of the streets within eight
days, and in case the demand is not
complied with. they announce their In
tentiOn to double the rates and cancel
specially dangerous risks. A resolution
will be introduced in the city council
Monday evening providing for the rig
orOuS enforcement of ordinances relat-
ing 10 streets, which amply covers the
case, under penalty of immediate ar
rest and prosecution of all citizens fail
ing to obey the ordinances. The neg
lect is saIu to be wholly on the part of
citizens, for "spring cleaning" was
done thoroughly under the supervision
of the city authorities.
