TROUBLE IN THE CHURCHES. concre-
gutIon at I.ewes, Del, have refused to receive
Tue munster sent them by the Phila Cunter-
ence, and have addressed letter to that effect
To bisheP Scott. At Berlin they refused To al
10" Ihelr appontec tc go into the parsOna pe
and he returned To his former home. Al Can.
terDury It Is sad they will refuse to open their
! church on next Sunday, on account of some dis
satisfaction IN arranging the preachers appont-
Inents. PIeiy, the grand requisite of a true
minister, is no longer IN demand. The people
desire handsome, dashng, towery gallants as
ministers The Rev. Kalluch would suit them.
we advise some OF our dissatisfied conprega-
lions TO give hun a call.--PenimSuLar Neys.
Inc congregation at Lewes should be the
iast one IN the whole Conference to refuse the
minister appointed TO their charge. ANY peo-
pie that recommends minister to Conference
should never refuse TO receive him themselves
The FoUNDIRY BUsINEss.-Thrty years ago
there was but one toundery in our city, the
ian OF which was driven by horse power, and
TIE casting of one ton of iron per week was
considered quite large business. Things have
considerably changed since that day, as we
nave now 10 less than six establishments Of
this kind in our city, in connection with which
I'D,
steamer power, and any one of which use more |
iron in one day than the old one did in month.

The FRUIT PRosPEcTs.-The Dover Repor-
ter says: farmer residing in the lower part
OF the county informs US that he made an ex-
animation Of his trees a day or two since and
found not more than one bud in twelve alive
4 number of small branches which he pulled
% IN ha |
been killed about the time of the snow storm
on the 9Th Of April. There is undoubtedly, we
regret to say, very poor prospect of the peach
crop of Delaware alording even an ordinary
yield.
The FRUT.-The National InfelIigencer
learns from competent quarters that the pros
pect for fruit is net bad after all in that sec.
ton Of country. II some trees have been in
jured, us is quite possible. it says there are many
perhaps most that have not been as yet and
from these, should the present unsettled wealth
er terminate without frost, We may expect a
reasonable product.

Agricultural Society of New Castle county,
was held at Almonds hotel, on Saturday last.
when George G. Lobdell was called TO the chair

money to defray the expenses of an exhibition
