Pastor and Family Surprised.

About 8 o'clock on Saturday eve
ming, 18th inst, the pastor and
family of Charlestown were startled
by the sound of tramping host.
One might have supposed that 1t was
the German army making their first
invasion; they came single file, so
strong, and hammered away at the
parsonage door. The nature OF their
approach convinced the family that
they intended to enter, so the pastor
sprang to his feet and made his way
to the door, to find it was not the
German army but the army of King
Emanuel, which had come to bring
good cheer in the way of a donation
for the parsonage home. The things
they brought are too numerous to
mention, but they were all good, and
when they had been there a while
the table was spread and laden with
sumptuous fare of which all partook.
The young folks played many games,
which the older ones all enjoyed,
and the evening passed away quick
ly and all returned to their homes.
This has been a great year on this
charge, there having been A con-
versions and the church wonderfully
qufckened and built up. No charge
in the Wilmington Conference will
have better report than this charge
this year.
