He died Dec. Goth, 1869, and is buried
in the Slate Ridge Cemetery. His
son, Rev. DR.. n. g. Parke, of Pittston,
Pa, delivered an address at the recent
dedication, and a younger son, r. S.
Parke, Esq, Cashier of the Miles Ma
tionai Bank of Delta, is an Elder in
the Slate Ridge Church. A large
memorial window to the Rev Samuel
Park was erected by his sons in the
church
The next pastor was the Rev. Joseph
d. Smith, who was installed Septem-
Der, 1860. For thirty years he minis
tered well to this people. He resigned
in the early part of 1890. Mr.. Smith
now lives on his farm near the old
church site, engaged in farming, and
frequently supplying vacant churches.
Mr.. Smith is widely and favorably
known and is popular preacher.
Nearly half century ago a part of
Slate Ridge Church left and were Or
ganized into the Statewide Church,
which is now a large prosperous
church. The Highland Church, Or
ganized about five years ago, drew
considerable strength from Slate
Ridge and Statewide Churches, but
now all three churches flourish.
The present pastor is the Rev. A.
Lewis Hyde, who was installed Octo-
Der god, 1890. These last years have
been prosperous years. The compile
ton of the new church in the new To-
cation begins an era of enlarged USE
fulness for the Slate Ridge Church.
God has already owned the new work
by giving a powerful revival of His
Holy Spirit to the congregation dur
ing their services held in the Masonic
Hall resulting in many conversions.
The dedication services held ON May
10th, 1894, at which time the Rev. DIR.
William NJ. Paxton, of Princeton,
preached most powerful sermon, the
solemn communion services on the 18th
of May when there were twenty-six
accessions to the church give the new
church an suspicious beginning. The
Slate Ridge Church is well equipped
for work. The Sabbath school has
about two hundred members, the
Christian Endeavor Society, seventy
five active members the Junior G. E.
Society, thirty-five members. Besides
these there are fiourishing Foreign
Missionary Society, II Home Mission
airy Band and Ladies' Sewing So
ciety, all doing good work.
There are preaching services on
Sabbath morning and evening, and a
mid-weeE prayer meeting, which is
maintained throughout the whole
year.
We close this historical sketch with
the closing words of Rev. J. D. Smiths
historical sermon:
"If one will, he may see he hand of
God preserving this His church. The
permanency of our church is due to
His preserving care. All around this
church there has been war and revo-
luton. Atno great distance from her,
fierce battles have been fought
There have been frequently strife and
contention within her own walls. Yet,
1.-The foundation of God standeth sure.
God is in the midst of her, she shall
not be moved" And the Highest
Himself shall establish her"

THE FORMATION OF CHESAPEAKE
BAY.

To speak of drowned river is
paradoXIcal, but nevertheless it exists.
Chesapeake Bay is nothing less
than drowned river. In the ages
long gone, when the earth and it's
the ocean were forming, the place
now occupied by Chesapeake Bay was
the channel of the Susquehanna
the ocean encroached, the river began
to disappear and the bay was formed,
though the original channel of the
river still exists, and its course may be
traced through nearly the entire length
of the bay.
There is a peculiar feature in the
formation of the bay that has its par
allel in the Atlantic Ocean. This is
the similarity in the bottoms of the two
bodies of water. For the first few
miles outward from the shore the
ocean has uniform depth, which at
distance of fifty to sixty miles be-
comes almost doubled. AS the bottom
of the ocean approaches the line of
the Gulf Stream, a couple of hundred
miles eastward, there is sudden and
sheer descent to a depth of about
5000 feet.
This same phenomenon is observed
in the two shores of Chesapeake Bay.
Close to the shores the water is very
shallow, averaging from six to eight
feet in depth. A little further out
there is a lower plateau upon which
the water lies to a depth of perhaps
ten to fifteen feet, and as the middle
of the bay is approached there is a
sudden drop to an extreme depth, as
in the case of the ocean. 1t is this
system of plateaus, shallow near the
shore, that has so well adapted the
Chesapeake for oyster-growing pur-
poses If the water were any deeper
the oysters would be drowned.

can give no opinion as to the truth
OF the allegations as to various mari
tai sins alleged against the high

a sign that German imperial institu-

Dropping Chicks.

Dropping chicks may be suspected
OF lousness first of all, as these para
sites are deadly to the young, tender
things They should be examined
carefully, and If so infested should be
busted with insect powder and the
nest changed. The poultry house
should be well fumigated with burn
ing sulphur, being closed during the
operation. The hen should also be
powdered as the chicks are. Over
feeding is often the cause Of the
dropping com lained of, and as soon
as young chick is seen to hang its
wings, or appears rough and weak, it
is to be Immediately looked after.
Sometimes it will be found that the
vent is closed by STICKY excrement,
and this, of course, will be quickly
fatal if not attended to- The open
ing should be carefully freed and
creased with little sweet oil. The
food should be cracked wheat or corn
meal wetted with water Pure water
must be supplied freely.

Corn the Coming CereaI.

Not few careful observers OF the
signs Of the times predict that be-
fore the new century dawns corn will
reach higher price than wheat,
which can be produced the round
world over. Already the money
value Of this distinctively American
crop is nearly double that OF the
wheat crop of the country. AS a
food it is fast gaining high favor
among the people Of the Old World.
1t is easily raised and does not eX-
haust the soil, and has been the sur
est and greatest source OF wealth for
this country. = The corn belt is linn
tied one, considering our immense
area, Land within its limits has
never shown any permanent depre-
citation, In the course of events
farm values in this corn belt must
range higher and prove more profit
able than mines and mineral wealth.

JUDGING from the tapestried and
silk-cushioned retreat of those bur-
glars recently unearthed by the police
over in New Jersey, your modern
house breaker has aesthetic tastes,
and gratjiies them largely, Perhaps
one reason why so many houses of
rich men are broken into during their
absence is furnished by the burglars
anxiety to possess bric-a-brac and
costly Aubussons and Gobelns of
price, Fancy the feelings of a mill
ionaire collector on being awakened
in the dead of night to see his pre-
clous arG treasures departing in the
arms Of burglar who disdains to
ask rim where he keeps his watch
and diamonds, and who says he takes
nothing that is not purely artistic.
