Synod Meeting.

Herald of Freedom and Torch Light, October 1, 1851

The Maryland Synod of the Lutheran Church will meet at Williamsport, on the 16th of October. The Sentinel says that upwards of one hundred ministers and laymen are expected to be in attendance. Williamsport is a pretty town, and is inhabited by clever, hospitable people, who will doubtless render the visit of this large body of Clergymen an agreeable one. — It is now accessible by Pack Boat navigation on the Canal besides Stage and other routes.
