NEGROES ON THE HILL.

Saturday evening last, happening in that
beautiful section Of the town, known as "The
Hill," it was my fortune to meet a company
of fine, healthy, stTong-lunged youths (of the
dark order), who did much to learn the chill
dren of citizens (particularly little girs) that
they had better be home after dark. The
youths-about teu-were on the street, engaged
in delightful race, Judging from their laughter
which was filled with interest by the proximity
of wheelbarrow to their heels. Their friend
-"your humble correspondent" MIR. Editor
even had TO dodge behind a tree to prevent a
collision. The colored chaps seemed perfectly
at home-free and easy-and, the police being
invisible as usual, nothing transpred to mar
their happiness. More anon, perhaps.

The ANNIvERsARY of the Athennan Litera.
ry Society of Delaware College, was held at
Newark, on Tuesday evening, Aug. 9, accord
ing to previous announcement. The Oratory
of the College, which was neatly and beauti.
fully decorated, was filled to overnownp-a
fact which evinced great interest on behalf of
the citizens of Newark and vicinity, in the re-
Vival and future success of the institution and
society. Could the ladies', who, by their at,en
dance and sympathy, not only added to the in.
terest of the occasion, but attested their earn
est and sincere desire for the re-opening of the
College, WELD the influence which they feel TO
be necessary, Delaware College would soon b..
awakened from its slumber and placed upon n
firm basis. A little eXertion directed to that
singh object might resuscitale it, and save our
State from the discredt and obloouy which
such disregard to the education Of her sons
has, and we fear justly, incurred.
Notwithstanding the disappointment occa.
stoned by the absence of Prof Jaynes, of Va,
and A. Il. Wooten, Esq, of Del, two of the
orators of the evening, the exercises passed oil
pleasantly, rejecting great credit upon the
members of the Society.
): M. Harrington, jr., of Del, in the absence
oil the appointed chairman, kindly consented 10
conduct the exercises, and acquitted himself in
manner well calculated to secure to him the
high reputation that he has already gained as
writer aud orator.
Addresses were delivered by J. ]. Crawford,

and A. Il. King, Of Del.

From now until the first of January the marri-
age notices in the newspapers grow more and
more numerous, while the pockets of. our friends
the clcrgymen, to whom marriage fees are the
cream Of their income, grow increasingly pie.
thorc- Ifthe winter opens mildly, the rush to

more stubborn resolutions concerning celibacy,
