Parkville, Hartford Road.-On Tuesday
night, March 9th, it was the purpose of Rev.
]. r. Pardew, pastor of Great Falls Circuit M.
X. Church, and his wife to give their son, An
drew Wendell. little surprise it being the 18th
anniversary of his birth, and had therefore in
vited the young people of the Epworth League
with the assurance of cordial welcome to any
of more mature age who might wish to come.
1t is mild statement of facts to say the pastor
and his wife were the much more surprised
parties, when in body, about O'Clock, nearly
as many adults and middle aged as young peo-
pie, in all about 81 or IS persons, arrived at the
parsonage at Hiss Church, bearing in boxes
and baskets and packages an abundance for the
evening refreshments, besides tokens of remem-
brance for the birthday anniversary.
After some time had been spent to the evi.
dent delight of young and middle aged, Mrs.
Pardew, coming into the parlor, announced
that refreshments were in waiting, when Mr.. Q.
Howard Amoss, superintendent of Hiss SUM-
day school, standing in the midst of the crowd
ed room, said: Mrs Pardew, before we 60 to
partake of those good things I have been APP
pointed to have word with you" Continu-
ing he spoke of Mrs. Pardew's church work,
especially in relation to the Epworth League,
and then said: ut gives me great pleasure, on
behalf of the League of Hiss Church and
friends, to present to you this token of love-"
and suiting the action to the word handed Mrs.
Pardew sealed envelope, who, as best she
could under the circumstances, expressed her
thanks. But even this was not the height of
the surprise. That was only reached when
that envelope was opened and found to contain
twenty six dollars in cash.
The whole evening was one of pleasure to all
and very much to the delight of the pastor and
family, not only for the substantial tokens of
regard. but far more for the evident cordially
ofspirit that prompted the actions. May many
such evenings of pleasure and social intercourse
await these people for the future.

lot of damage in this section to fruit trees,
fences and woodland The snow stuck like glue.

q sight and resembled snow houses. The fruit
trees were split in two by the fierce winds;

roads were filled with broken cross arms, glass
and wire.

wagons could get through. The postofice in
Baltimore made no effort to get the mails
through, distance of only Al miles, and every
body censured the postal authorities for not
sending the mail out in wagon. All were

lea, but the mail was held, simply because the
United Railway Company's lines were out of
