The COOptOwn Reunion.

The annual reunion Of the Sunday Schools
OF the West Hartford Circuit of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, was held on the grounds Of
the asso, iation, at Cooptown, on Thursday,
9th instant, and in point of interest and en-
thusiasm was a notable success. Some of the
principal features which have hitherto char
acteriZed these assemblages were done away
with and their absence proved a source Of
much comment. Prominent among them was
the annual procession OF the Sunday School
children, an event which is looked forward to
with much interest by the children themselves
as well as many older people.
The schools connected with the circuit are
eight in number, seven of which are located
in Hartford county. They are Centre Church,
Forest Hill; Asbury Church, Jarrettsville
| William Walters Memorial Church, Coop

The Textile WORKS.

A dispatch to the Baltimore StIi of Tues
day says: The textile works of NJ. Gambrill
& Co, recently removed from Badwin's,
Cecil county, to Havre dc Grace, are fast ap-
preaching completion. The product OF the
works is cotton table cloth, mostly colored,
and there are now forty looms running on
these goods. When in full running order the
works will operate two hundred and forty
looms, all of which are now in position and
are being harnessed and otherwise put in
order as rapidly as possible. a two hundred
and fifty horse power engine is being put in,
which will take the place of the one now in
use and which is inadequate Tor the amount
of machinery to be kept in motion. Only \
portion of the machinery of the Baldwin mills
was removed to Havre de Grace, the main
part of the looms being purchased from an
Eastern plant, which discontinued operations.
1t is stated that when in full operation IL e
works will employ about three hundred
hands as weavers, winders, dyers &c, aud it
is possible that the company will at no dis
tant time arrange to spin their yarns, which
they now buy, and in the event of this new
departure will require much additional help.
Som; thirty or forty families have moved to
Havre de Grace from Baldwin's, occupying
nearly all of the available houses AS ad-
ditonal workmen are required, there is but
little doubt that the erection of several new
houses will be found necessary. The location
of this plant is looked upon with great salts
faction by the business men of Havre de Grace
and 1t is sincerely hoped that it will be per
manent.

j. Howard Hanna is under arrest at OXFORD,
Pa, charged with beating his wife, who is
reported as being in critical condition.
They went to oxford from this county and
according to her statements, he beat her terri
bly, on Saturday night because she refused
him money to squander. After the assault,
Hanna left her lying unconscious on the floor
where she remained until three O'Clock, when
she revived sufficiently to make her escape
through 4 window. She was found barehead-
ed by the Waterman who took her before the
Chief Burgess, to whom she lodged her com
plant.
About two months ago Mrs Hanna who
was Miss Edith Smith, daughter of MIR.
Thomas \. Smith, OF Garland, eIoped and was
married to Hanna by b. +. Taylor, at Oxford
ON June ID, where they Lave since resided.
They have quarreIled number of times and
there is much strong feeling in oxford against
the man, who is said TO drink freely and spend
his wife'S money. Hanna was given hear
ing before Squire la lor on Monday and was
committed in default OF bail for trial. His
wife was unable TO appear but her father was
present. In her affidavit Mrs. Hanna states
that her husband attacked her on former
occasion and threatened to cut her throat 18th
a razor. She is worth about ten thousand
dollars and will inherit more. iiaLEa WIS
divorced from his first wife, and the present
one will make application for divorce at
once. The feeling in Oxford was very high
against the man and he was guarded closely
by the officers, as threats of lyuching were
numerous.
