We nheerfully give a prominent place to the
following explanatory communication from the
Right Reverend Bishop Lee, Of this Diocese, in
reference to the refusal Of the seaford Pastor to
read that portion Of the Church Service which
iuvokes blessing upon the President of the
United States.
To the Editor Of the Deiatrare State Journal.
DEAR SIR:-I notice in the Journal of to-day
an extract from the Smyrna Times stating that,
"The Pastor Of the Episcopal Church in Seaford
refuses to invoke the blessings of Almighty God
upon the President Of the United States" JUS
tice to the Clergyman referred to, requires of me
an explanatory remark while II is true that
under temporary excitement he did omit to use
the whole of the Prayer appointed for the Pre-
sident aud all in authority, it is not true that he
refuses TO use IT,
The gentleman, native Of Alabama, inter
preted the Inaugural Address as declaration
OF war against his native State and under pain
full agitation of mind was betrayed into the
omission which has caused him much subsequent
| regret The first information which reached me
on the subject was, from himself full and can
| did statement Of the facts, without any attempt
to defend his course, file now assures me tina
he has returned 20 the full use of the Prayer
and while he remains in this Diocese or 10 thu
United States will not again omit any word of 1t
Very respectfully yours,
AEYRED LEE.

GLASS CAsK "A patent has been taken out
by A. Hubert and U. Cantilion, of Liege, in
Belgium, for making small casks and barr els of
glass. The idea is to apply glass in the forrna-
ward. They blow the glass in mould of wood
or iron, the mould being in two parts of the form
Of the cask. certain portion of the molten
glass is introduced into the mould on tue end of
the glass blowers staff then the mould is closed
and the glass is blown until ii assumes the form
of the mould and is hollow inside The tap hole
is pierced in the cask with a red hot iron Snail
TASKS of barrel-shape made of glass are COM
mon, but TASKS of five gallon size appear to be
an extension Of glass application to this partiou-
lar purpose, and for holding ether, oils, &c In
situations where they are not required to be
moved about they will answer a most excellent
purpose.

A CoNHEcrlCUT LADY, Anna Lewis, writes
from Berlin in that State, TO ParsOn Brownlow,
stating that from being sent by wealthy aunt to
learn a trade when young, she has curved
spine that she is %, has black eyes, is fragile
and wears her hair in ringleis that she has
thirst for knowledge, and now wishes to 'meet
with one Of great and noble heart, who would
teach me what is right, and protect me from the

She inquiries ii the psrson knows some nice old
gentleman who would like 10 make her acquains
lance. 10 this the Parson responds: He has
placed her case before two bachelors in Knoxville
but the curved spine is an objection. lie is
married himself, and has had seven doctors
practising in his family for ten years, but they
have not beeR able to kill bis wife, who, although
she has no teeth promises to live longer. He
advises her to conceal the spine trouble not
despair of marriage Oh account Of her age and
even if she were ten years older, she could con-
ceal ii as other women do, with paint and pow
der. He congratulates her on being plain look
lug, and says;
1t is a sad truth, alike visible at the North and
in the South, that fashion-pampered women are
worthless for all the valuable ends of human life.
