NOTES AND CONTENTS.

i Peaches are still prominent in mar
ket.
A man never becomes thoroughly
depraved and beyond redemption, until
he begins to make excuses for attend
ing a circus
Weddings are on the increase, first,
because it is not good for man to live
alone, lastly, woman must marry or
become an old maid.
Preaching last Saturday night at
the railroad crossing. North Queen
street. was fairly well attended. Good
behavior prevailed.
We regret to record the death Of
our friend and neighbour Mr.. John
Seuseny, who was killed in the wreck
last Sabbath morning. near Flaggs
crossing on the B. & O. railroad. Mr..
1 Senseny was quiet. unassuming man,
one who knew and attended strictly TO

sociable, every ready and willing to
do favor or lend helping hand.
| Our sympathy goes out for his sorely
afflicted family in their hour of dis
tress which must be almost beyond
endurance. When the husband and
father leaves home in health and
strength to be returned in a few short
hours a mutilated. lifeless mass of
| flesh and bone, one hope is that his
rest is with the people Of God
In political point Of eiew we have
been rather reticent; there is no doubt
but that the political pot will boil
over without our aid. We have long
since learned the quiet looker.on sees
and understands more than the active
worker, because an opportunity is
afforded to observe the actions OF all
pa'ties, and it is an old adage that
actions are stronger than words in all
campaigns Some persons have been
misrepresented and injured. If you
engage in politics you must not ex-
pect to be waited along on howery
beds of ease, but the best measures Of
avenging ourselves is by not resemb-
ling him who has injured us. In our
humble judgment Hon. u. S. Grant
Pitzer would do more for us in the
House OF Delegates than has been
done for years past. His industry,
honor, intelligence and ability to meet
and fathom all questions and points
of law is certainly beyond question.
His kind and genial disposition has
made for him hosts of friends. Truly
it often occurs that men mould their
own destiny. Fidelity, intelligence,
honor and business capacity is nine
tenth of business success. All OF
these essentials we believe Mr.. Pitzer
is in possession OF and are willing to
give him a trial. Regarding the
candidates for the Office of Board of
Education, all are good citizens, and
as there has not been any pontics per-
mitted to enter into any of the deliber-
ations of the Board for several years
past, and as the success and advance
ment of our educational interests
might be retarded, it is to be hoped
that politics will be kept aloof in the
future as in the past. AS a worker,
in and for the benefit of education,
with comfortable buildings and SAM
tary surroundings, Mr. Wolfes has no
equal. His untiring energy, devo-
ton to duty, watchfulness of the dis
tributions of the publics finances,
and deep interest he manlests for
our public schools in numerous
ways, has attracted the attention of
the intelligent patrons aud taxpayers.
There can be no one who would sacri-
fee valuable time, free of charge, in
the visits and examinations interior
and exterior more than has been done
by Mr.. Wolies throughout the city.
He is one who is neither ashamed or
afraid to discharge his duty. He is
Jealous for public interests, just with.
out being harsh, and simple in his
manners, but manly in his feelings,
and upon whose word you can rely;
one whom independently of any views
OF advantage, we should chose for a
superior, and we know by experience
and association we have not added
extra lustre. RALF
