lowing items from the Peninsular News;
Mrs Marin Norman died in Lewes during
last week in the seventy-ninth year Of her age
Hor husband Thomas Norman is now living IN
his cghty-fourth year. The two have lived
together as man aud wife sxty-one years. MT.
Norman has been for many years the sexton OF
the Episcopal church at Lewes. Afuneral dis
course was delivered by the Rev. Mr.. Martin,
young and excellent pastor lately called by
the congregation at Lewes.--Tho most at
tractiye feature of the town Of Lewes is the
new church. At an expense OF from SIX 10
seven thousand dollars the citizens of the town
are building u church, which when completed,
will be far the handsomest structure oil the KIND
in the State. The architecture is gothic aud
the style is preserved in every detail. We
found II open, and during our visit TO 1t there
were three young ladies in the choir whose
performances would have brought down storms
of applause even in the new opera house in
Philadelphia. No town In our State Is 10 adj
vance OF Lewes in intelligence, taste, and en-
terprse. A schooner came into the barber
at Lewes a few days since with crew very
sick with the ship fever. Some of them proved
to be Free Masons and others Odd Fellows
Members of each of these benevolent societies
took charge Of them, and are doing everything
in their power to relieve and restore them.--
We have frequently heard the people of Lewes
branded as ssheartless and uncharitable," bat
better acquaintance with them proves the
contrary About IL O'Clock, a. M, on We'd
nesay, some one entered Mr.. Charles Tumlin's
sbambles in Milford, and stole piece of bee
weighing about ten pounds. The person who
attends for Mr.. I. had gone to breakfast, and
an gentrance was effected through the bach
window while he was absent.--Mr. Martin o.
the firm of Martin aud Conwell of Milton has
, just taken large schooner to Philadelphia fol
, sale, and on his return will lay the keel TO
w. inf nod hat Mr. 10
: X Son ewn five vessels themselves, and tina
7 residents of the town were interested in, abou
! sixty trading from Philadelphia. Ponder
' Son will in a few days launch schooner whcl
I. is said by master workmen to be the most com
q plete model ever built in the State. The Mil
Il ton ship builders claim that they have arrive
at perfection in vessel building.
II Cooper, Jr., has rented the house tormerl
m owned by Peter s. Parker, ESD, and design

d To the Teachers Of NeU Castle Countg.--Fe
y, low Teachers The disposition of human Ii
u Dor into various departments, seems to hay
~ been wisely ordered by the Creator Of
II good, and men are usually permitted to fall il
70 TO that particular sphere for which they a
best fitted. To perfect any given calling Il
=, wisdom OF men acting singly is by no mea
u sufficient, it requires the concentrated intel
s. gence Of all those engaged in that calling.
~ oPiN VI thS Is progressive, anu mt
o. In other states, in Educational as well as 9th
u branches of useful occupation, have caug
nc the spirit, and are assembling from time
time to devise and execute the best means
eh developing that branch Of business in viii
II they are engaged. This is true in this Sta
OF Medicine, Law, Religion, Agriculture a
VI many of the Mechanic arts. WHY shou
'S- Teachers neglect to profit by association, VIII
men are reaping such extensive benefits fro
,et 1t in other departments of industry The II
'o' dersigned, Teachers, believe that the time /
w arrived when &c Populations can be advance
'nh and the profession ofteaching greatly elevat
In the State OF Delaware, by assembling
On gether theteachers of the County of New Gas
ny and eventually the teachers Of the State. TIL
therefore issue this call TO the teachers of N
u9 Castle County, whether in public or priya
no schools, to meet with them in the Coun
., chamber, in the City of Wilmington on SAT-
