Smyrna .afdiTS.--We condense the following |
items from the Smyrna Times Gregory M.
Waterbutt, native of Syria, lectured in the
Presbyterian church, in this town, on Sunday
afternoon week, upon the subject OF Missions.
He is the son OF the first Armenian Bishop |
that Joined the Protestant movement in that
country. He is preparing himself for a mis-
sionary to his own people, and will doubtless,
make an energetic, jealous and useful one.--
On the evening of the same day, Rev. Asa ),
Cotton delivered an interesting lecture to
the young men of Smyrna, in the NJ. E. church.
Rev. VIM. II. Brisbane preached at Smyrna
Landing on the afternoon Of Sunday. Kew.
Messrs. Thomas and Talbot are having sue
cessiul revivals at Severson's and Blackiston's
Chapels, on the Circuit. A number have pro-
fessed eonverson,-lt is stated that Mr..
Henry Todd, of Dover, whe has sold about
1000 baskets Of peaches, averaging Sl.20 per
basket, is also turning his attention to the cni-
ture of apples for tho Philadelphia market
We hope our farmers will do the same thing,
as the apple can be made more profitable, and
much more certain crop than the peach.
-One Of the black horses OF James w.
Spruance, valued at 5000, was taken sick
while being driven 10 the Omnibus on Monday
last, and died in short time afterwards. j..
w. Hotfecker, also lost young horse, when
was similarly affected, worth S150.--Our
farmers are all busily engaged in saving fod-
der, which is repre- sented as being interior in
and August.-The little son of Jonathan
Emerson, who broke his arm at the Sunday
School Pic Mic, in July, whilst playing with
kite on Thursday last, fell and fractured itagan.
-----Tho steamer Balloon has changed from
daily to tri-weekly trips, and will hereafter
leave the Landing for Philadelphia, every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning, at
= o'clock returning the alternate days.--.
About thousand baskets of peaches were Ia
ken from The Smyrna depot, on Tuesday eve
ming, to Philadelphia.
