The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being "a constitutional disease, requires a
treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby DESTROYING the foundation
Of the disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of

which ON ncarin. the commencement of
that completed one spoke of its coming
lows and also OF the loved ones, waiting to

Indignation Over Il Publication

Special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
ONANcoCK, Va, April l.-Great in
dignation exists in Accomac county,
over the publication few days ago Of
letter dated Bayview, this county, in
the Norfolk Pilot, REV. Sam. Small's
paper involving the characters OF the
wife of Rev. Mr. Reamy, Baptist
minister, in charge of the church at
Onancock, and young man named
Quimby. A large meeting was held
at Onancock, in which members of var
ious denominations took part, and at
which the publication was denounced
false and malicious and declaring the
character of Mrs Reaniy ito be of the
highest type and above reproach or
suspicion" \ committee was appoint
ed to demand from Mr.. Small his rea-
sons for publishing the offensive matter
and also the name of the Bayview cor
respondent. 1t seems that Mrs. Reamy
and young Quimby are not even ac-
quainted with each other.
NORFOLK, VA, April AT a
meeting of the Baptist preachers of
Norfolk and Portsmouth, held to-day,
resolution was unanimously adopted
rendering sympathy to Rev. A. j.
Reamy, of Onancock, on account of
the false and slanderous statement in
volving the reputation of the wife of
Mr. Reamy, which appeared in the
Norfolk Pilot, and expressing indigna-
ton at such careless and slanderous
publication.
From the Onancock Press.
An investigation revealed the fact
that the author of the article was the
Reverend William G. Lindsay, pastor
Of Holmes Presbyterian church, Bay
View. Va. Mr.. Lindsay was much
disturbed rs TO the consequences of his
having circulated so malicious and
baseless a lie, although he had appar-
emily attempted to insure its publica-
ton by privately endorsing the article
with the words, 1T is all o. X"
NORFOLK, April 3rd.-In the Court
OF Law and Chancery to-day Messrs.
Nelly, Seldner and Warrington, at
torneys, entered suit for Rev. \. J.
Reamy, of Onancock, who sues on be-
half of his wife, Mrs. Matte Reamy,
against the Pilot Publishing Company,
Rev. Sam. w. Small, managing editor
of the Pilot, and Rev. w. G. Lindsay,
the latter being Presbyterian minis
ter, who is n correspondent of the Pilot
from the Eastern Shore, and who, it is
alleged, sent the report TO the Pilot
which reflected so seriously on Mrs.
Reamy. The suit is for $4,000 In
the regular order the case will come to
tiial in May.
A suit identical with the above will
in few days be entered by the same
law firm for Mr.. l.. ID. Teackel
Quimby. OF Onancock, who was also
reflected upon by the Pilot article.

The Fall of Adam.

Editors Of the Mc&senger:-I think
you will say the following is worthy of
a place in your paper
\ very small, bright little girl of
this town, upon returning from Sunday
School was asked what her lesson had
been. Hesitating little, she said ::
Well, Adam and Eve was in the gar
den, and God told them not to eat the
fruit and vegetables, the butter-beans,
and cranberries, but they would not
mind him, and did it, so they had to
be punished.

FOUND AT LAST.
The Bodies of Birch and Baker
Recovered.

Although two months and eighteen
days had passed since the drowning OF
William +. Birch, Charles Hudson
and Charles Baker in Sinepuxent Bay
while trying to cross it in an open
boat, search for their bodies had not
been abandoned up TO Sunday last
when the last one of them was found.
The night before had been stormy and
the water in the bay was much stirred
up. This suggested to parties along
the bay shore the i1ea of the bodies
washing ashore on this side, as the
wind blew from the East. After
breakfasting Mr.. Angelo Harris, who
lives on the Bailey farm above Blue
Pond, went out TO search along the
shore near his home. He remembered
of having dreamed the night after the
men were drowned OF finding them at
Il certain cove not far from the place
where they set sail on January 18th,
and, although he had looked there for
them several times he had PRESENT.
ment which led him TO the spot again,
and there the body of Charles Baker,
face down and feet under water, pre-
scented itself to view He pulled the
body ashore and recognizing who it
was went TO inform Mr.. Bakers friends
Of his discovery. They took charge of
the remains, which, owing to the con.
ditions, were inferred in the family
burying ground OH the Purnell Farm
the same day.
The body of Charles Hudson having
been found and reported two weeks
ago, only one of the three drowned men,
William L. Birch, remained to be
found 1t was evident to all that his
body, like that of Bakers had washed
to the mainland shore of the bay, and
systematic search was instituted the
same afternoon by friends of the vet
missing man. Capt. Samuel Hudson,
who is father.in-law of Mr.. Birch,
was successful in finding his body in
Blue Pond, cove in the bay near
Purnell's Hammocks. He was taken
to his home and his remains prepared
for burial by funeral directors Burbage
d Connor The remains were brought
10 Snow Hill on Monday and were
inferred in the NJ. Z. Churchyard at
IL o'clock. Rev. I. F. Tabler ofiici-
ated, and spoke impressively of the
sad fate of Mr.. Birch in an effort to
get TO his post of duty, and the privilege
of relatives and friends to meet him in
Heaven if they will but follow his
example. 1t will be remembered that
Birch was an employe Of Green Run
Life Saving Station, and his effort TO
cross the bay in the face of one OF the
highest winds and most hazardous
storms that has ever visited this section
was the result of call to duty. He
was member OF Seaside Lodge |. O.
o. f., OF Newark, and also White
Eagle Tribe, |. o. X. NJ, of Berlin.
a large number of the members of the
two orders were present at the funeral
and took part, especially the latter,
whose service was used ut the grave.
We sympathize with the relatives of
the Inflated men and are glad to report
the finding of all their bodies.
