Rev James H. Darlington, D. D.,
Bishop of Harrisburg, visited St. Davids
congregation, Delta, on Monday night.
He preached and administered the rite of
confirmation to two persons. In spite OF
the inclement weather there was large
attendance. This congregation will soon
build church, for which plans have been
kindly given by Mr.. George Norbury
Mackenzie, third, an architect of Balti-
more. The report that the Rev. Mr.. SUIT
ton, late of Port Deposit, had been APP

is in charge.
Mr.. Howord O'Neill, of Bel Air,
stenographer for the Baltimore and Bel
Air Electric Railway Company, has in
his office two young canary birds that
have just been Matched out. The father
and mother birds built two nests in one
corner of the cage out of some old waste
material that had been furnished them.
For some reason the first was unsatis-
factory and abandoned. In the second
were deposited three tiny eggs, which in
fourteen days, through the careful atten-
ton of the parents. became two little
fuzzy baby birds. They are getting along
nicely and growing very rapidly. The
bird in the third egg died.
The town commissioners of Bel Air
contemplate spending between 81, 100
and 1900 on the permanent improve
ment of the sidewalks. The proposition
includes the laying of five foot stone
walk nearly the entire length of Main
street, and the railroad company has |
agreed, in event the work is done, to fix
its walk to conform with the rest of the |
Improvement. This also includes stone |
walk on Gordon street, and short piece
of walk on Bond street. The slate that |
will be taken up will be used to repair
other walks, and it is believed that this
expenditure will obviate any further cost
for the building of pavements during this
generation.

"A meeting was held in the office OF
Mr.. S. A. Williams, Bel Air, on Wednes-
day morning. A number of persons were
present, including all of the ministers of

charges were asked to appoint commit

"A dairy special will be run over the
Maryland and Pennsylvania railroad,
leaving Baltimore this (Friday) morning
at 8 80 o'clock 1t will arrive at Bald
win at Ills; Fallston, 1905; Bel Air,
IL. 40; Forest Hill, 2; Rocks, 8; Highland,
$50, and Pylesville, 4.35. Astop of forty
minutes will be made at each station.
The train will be made up of two coaches,
in which will be demonstrations of practi-
cal dairy work. We urge every milk pro-
ducer, as well as every one else interested
in progressive farming, to attend some
one of these meetings. In order to be
successful, there must be audiences at
each place, so we hope that the different
vicinities will have good turnouts.
The railroad station at VanBibber,
where the postoffice is also located, was
broken into about midnight on Friday.
An entrance was gained by breaking a
glass opposite the window catch. The
robbers got $40 worth of postage stamps
which was the only tangible booty in
sight. The ticket office of the railroad
was untouched and there was nothing
else missing. This makes the fourth
station on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road that has been robbed within a
month, the other three being Sewell,
Stepney and Darlington. Mr.. J. ]. Sulli-
van, who is both station agent andpost-
master reported the loss to the govern
ment and the railroad officials who are
investigating the robbery.
On Saturday, a delegation consisting
of seven officers of the Fulton Avenue
Presbyterian Church, headed by Rev.
John Timothy Stone, pastor of Brown
Memorial Church, Baltimore, went to
the Churchville manse to convey to Rev.
Samuel c. WATSON the unanimous refusal
to accept his declination of the call to
this church. Rev. Mr.. Stone read the
resolutions of the session, which stated
that the committee was instructed to
powerfully and conscientiously plead
with Mr.. WATSON to accept the call. firm
ly believing ''that such action would re-
dound to the glory of God and the up
lifting of the church" Mr.. WATSON told
the committee that he had regarded his
refusal as final, and that this new appeal
came to him in the nature of a surprise.
Under the circumstances it was impossi-
BILE for him to give an immediate answer,
but that he would hold the matter under
serious consideration.
