Mr.. II. A. Foster, Samuel Strain and Mis-.

friends and relatives at MsConnellsvilie,
where they attended the comnuuion me etinp

MIR. L. s. Webber, our energetic township
Sunday School Superint eadcut, visited our
school yesterday. lie i. putting in every
Sabbath at the work. He is q mover. too.
AT each school he has appo nted committee
Of missionaries, Whose business Il is 10 look
after and solicit the attendance of those
people who never attend the church or
school and urge upon them 10 attend for
their own good. The committee fer Salem
is Miss Mi dred Smarr, Miss Amanda Lee
and Miss Eliza Estes.
grand Sunday School pic nio took place
across the river in York county, at White
sides Mill, or Clsrk's Fork, last Saturday.
All or most Of the schools for miles aroun 4
in every direction were represented. Six.
teen wagons and teams loaded with men.
women and children, to say nothing Of bug
g!es, carriages, carts, pedestrians aud eoues-
trians, formed in line at Hickory Grove and
went in one solid caravan t, The DC mic
grounds, mile aud half beyond the town
where they were met by others from ether
directions, and all enjoyed a day Of pleasure.
Everything that feminine ingenuity could
invent, in the way IF ediblss, was spread
upon the dinner table. Old men and women,
whose hearts and sympathies are enlisted in
the good work met, and in social circles re-
counted lfes battles, its hopes and dsspairs,
its sunshine and its gloom
The ubiquitous cupid, with his bow and
culver, was present to note the galan,ry of
the young men who showed their devotions
to The young maidens, whose Immaculate Q
purity is worth more than . nations life.
While last, but not least, tho joyoua shouts
aud merry songs If the children arose in
one grand anthem to pronounce Heaven's
bsnediction upon the occasion.
1t is unnecessary for us to say that our
North Pacolot secti N was well repr ssented
on this happy occasion. The psop;e Of West.
crn.fork are not only our neigh but our
friends, and as time rolls ON and our work
progresses, We are becoming more and more
attached TO each other.
Like all other sec ions of the country,
Western York has its very best aad most
Jealous christian people enlisted in this
work.
While we are determined that, BY the help
of God, Gowdeysville shall be the banner
township in the county, if not in the State,
in the Sunday schsol work, we find in v est
ern York a formidable rival-''a foeman
worthy Of our steel" VOx.
