1NsrALLATIoN.-On Tuesday last in the
Presbyterian Church in this town, the
Rev. Horatio S. Howell was installed pas
tor of the Elkton and Pencader Presbyte-
rian churches. lie takes the place of Rev.
Jas. McIntire, who has had the care oil
these churches Tor number of years, and
has given them up on account of bad health.
The charge to the pastor was delivered by
Mr.. McIntire, and to the congregation by
Rev. w. S. F. Graham of Delaware Co..
lege. Rev. Mr.. Rockwell of Wilmington
preached a powerful and eloquent sermon
on the occasion the choir from his church
were present and charmed the congrega-
ton with their singing, and altogether, the
services were very interesting.
Rev. Mr.. McIntire has been a very &C.
ceptable and useful pastor and the regret
the congregations would otherwise feel at
his withdrawal, IS lessened by the fact that
he will still be among them. Mr.. Howell
Is young man OF excellent ability and
promise.

THE INpEpENDENr DELAwARIAN.-If
this paper means by the title "Indepen-
dent to signify that it is not partizan
print, the word is gross misnomer' 1t
undoubtedly is as rabid locoloco paper
as the country produces-far more I'M
scrupulous indeed, than The Delaware
Gazette. We deem its infamous attacks
upon Mr.. Clayton, however, similar to
that Of the dog that bays the moon-both
objects aimed at, being rather to high to be
affected by their assalants.

"ReiOrm,' Again.

Mr.. EDIToR:-KEEp 1T BEFORE TIE
PEOPLE, that there will be :'a Temperance
Convention for Cecil county, in Elkton,

and that one OF the objects OF the Conven-
ton will Re 10 devils, some mode of redress
against the "R"mshop nuisnncc>," with
which Cecil county is cursed.
will not now propose any measures,
but will leave that to the Convention, and
hope that the united judgment and wis
dom of the men assembled, may be suffi-
cient to devise and adopt some plan of
operation, that will prove efficient. The
articles lately published in your paper,
evidence feeling abroad, in the commu-
nifty on this subject-a feeling which has
been long 'spent up but which is now
rising superior to the barriers that have
encircled it-and threatens to bear down
all opposing influences
Your correspondent "Juno" thinks Gee
cilia," "has taken but superficial view"
of this question. "Juno' would educate
the children, and so would | and so would
"CecilIa' doubt not. Does not "Juno"
know that the grand object oil Temperance
association has ever been to educate the
public mind on the evils of the traffic and
use of intoxicating drinks! "Juno" says
"educate our children-train them up in
the way they should go, and all will be
we'll" But does not every days expert
ence teach s'Juno," that men OF the most
liberal education and most brilliant intel
lects fall victims to Rum that well dis
ciphned children, and children of pious
parents, are led astray, by the drinking
associations, in which they have been
thrown and are degraded and ruined, by
the snares, set by the enemy to entrap
them? There is no station or talent that
has been exempt from the fangs of this
destroyer.
When<vc find the "root of the evil''
we shall find it in the "License System"
Let us lay the axe at the root of that sys-
tenn. Let every Division of the Sons of
Temperance be fully represented in the
Convention. In any neighborhood where
no organization now exists let the firm,
unhinching, Temperance men of that
neighborhood, delegate themselves 10 the
convention. Let there be general atten-
dance of sogaeio,u, moderate, decided men
and good will result from their deliberations

RULE FOR WEARING RINGs,-When lady
is not engaged she wears ring on her first
fnger-if engaged, on her second-if married
OH her ihird-and if she intends to remain un
married, she wears the ring upon her fourth
finger. This is the rule laid down in the latest
work upon female pioprietics that we have
seen, and it appears tt be generally recognized
among the sex as one that should be scrupul-
ously observed Thee are some young ladies,
however, who appear to take delight in wear
ing ring both upon the first and the second
fnger-thus leaving the admirng spectator in
some perplcxity how to classify them. Others
wear ring upon each finger and, again
