Church, near Oakley, on Tuesday, 18th in
slant, being the occasion of the marriage of
Mr.. Frederick L. Dent, of Bryantown,

LEoNARDTowN, Sept IS, 1898.
Seeing the contractor and his men leave
this morning to begin building a bridge
over St Clements Bay run, suggested TO
me the idea of calling the attention of the
public through your columns to another
much needed work of the kind. The eros
sing at the run at "All Saints" Church has
been for years (more on account, of the ap-
proach TO it than to the run itself SD ex-
tremely bad as to be source of the great
est annoyance to all who are obliged TO
cross it. At least three hundred people,
we may say, are obliged to cross it Tor 60
very great distance out of their way on
an average OF once a month TO reach the
county seat or other points to which bust
ness may call them, and as no inconsider-
able portion ofour county expenses is borne
by the people so situated, think it should
be pressed upon the County Commission
ers to have the road at this point changed,
and bridge built over this run at suita-
bic place before the winter sets in and rem.
ders the present crossing. as ii generally
does, dangerous. if not utterly impossible.
Respectfully, NJ.

The entertainment advertised TO be held
at Charlotte Hall, September 18th, for the
purpose OF raising needed funds for keeping
the Chapel of that place open during the
coming winter was, Notwithstanding the
obstacles that kept piling up before the
workers in the good cause, even to the last
hour, pronounced success financially and
otherwise. The weather was anything but
inviting and the heavens wore an unbe-
coming frown all day; but for all that
liberal and appreciative audience assem-
bled TO discuss, first the splendid supper
and then the entertainment in the hall
The programme of exercises was varied and
interesting, opening with a gorgeous tab
leau, Columbia Receiving the Nations" in
which Miss Lily Shaw represented Column
bia; the others taking part in the tableau
were Misses jamie Petherbridge, Bessie
Reeves, Lily Harrison, Katie Adams, Will
lie Canter, Lucy Chesley, Ella Shaw, Mat
tie Harrison, Winnie Davis, Francis Bris-
coe. The representation was roundly APP
plauded. Major Thomas read the "Chariot
Race" from Ben Hur and so engaged the
attention of the aud ence that each and
every one felt that he would like to wager
his sestertii on the jew The Misses Bris.
coe followed with very little duet, sweet
ly rendered, called: "Now lay me down
to sleep" By his easy and natural rem
dition of "How Sackery set the Hen" Mr.
Wright Dent proved himself ready and
interesting declaimer.
Marplot-a farce, kept the interest Of the
audience throughoutits performance The
cast was as follows: Mr.. Alfred Buttercup,
dandy, Mr.. Harry Harrison; Mrs Jerusha
Meddlesome, Miss Winnie Davis; Mrs.
Holman, Miss May Ballenger; Emily, Miss
Lillian Harrison; Berth, Miss Maria Briscoe
Mr.. Pollock PLACED "Clsyton's Grand
March" on the Cornet. Miss Maria Briscoe
recited the "Ride of Jennie McNeal" in q
manner that evinced talent and culture.
Mr.. Croker entertained the audience with
piano recital. Miss Lily Shaw's account
of How Mrs Tu5bs took an Elevator"
was most graphic and amusing. The pro.
gramme ended with Delsarte Drill led by
Miss Maria Briscoc assisted by Misses Lii
ian Harrison, Willie Canter, Bessie Reeves,
Katie Adams, Frances Briscoe; piano
accompaniment by Miss Winnie Adams.
The young ladies were artisticaliy attired
in white, each bearing a garland made of
golden-rod. The effect was striking when
upon the drawing Of the curtain each fair
and graceful form was seen waltzing into
position. Then all kinds of motions were
gone through, from "Salaaming" to reach
ing for the stars, all in perfect unison, keep.
ing time in sort Of Runic rhyme without
words. The Delsarte system of physical
culture combines grace, energy and har.
monY. This part of the exercises was
vigorously applauded and nothing would
satisfy the audience but repetition of the
exhibition.
Miss Maria Briscoe and her able young
corps of assistants deserve congratulaton
upon tie entertainment to which the public
were so cordially invited.

The Harvest Eoen.-The full moon on
September %, next Monday, is known as
the Harvest Moon" In Great Britain
September is the harvest month" and the
full moon of September is so called from
that fact. The peculiarly of this full
moon is that it rises several nights near the
same hour instead Of an hour or more later
each night. In the higher latitude Of
Great Britain the phenomenon is much
more striking. AT the equator there is nc
difference between this and other full
moons. The harvest moon is due to the
fact that at the time of the autumnal equi-
nox the full moon, which is necessarily op.
posiie the sun, is in that part of its orbit
which makes the least possible angle with
the eastern horizon at tie point where the
moon rises. In consequence there is an
unusual proportion OF moonlight during
September. On the 25th inst. the moon
will rise at or near sunset, ISL O'clock, on
the 10Th at 623, and at so on the 9th
Sun.

Oyster Location Vaeated.-The petition

Mess. CAN'T, HELEN and Parran and the
respondents by Messrs. Gray and Bunting.
The petition at first included several re-
spondents but was dismissed as to all ex-
cept one, VIM. Megill. The oystermen APP
peared in great strength, more than hun
dred being on hand to testify in the case or
watch the trial. Numerous witnesses on
the part of the petitioners were examined
and testified that all Of the numerous lots
located were natural beds and prolific
working grounds and that on Tuesday last
oystermen engaged TO test the grounds,
caught about half bushel from each lot
They also testified that the bottom was
shelly and afforded place for the spat or
clutch and there was considerable young
growth that in few years would make
the beds valuable. To this the respondents
testified that the Magill lot was not a part
of the natural rock but that the bottom was
of muddy nature in part and sandy near
shore, that there was no young growth or
suitable bottom for the beds 10 be replenish-
ed without assistance aud that the OYSTER
men had abandoned that part as a resort
