LOCAL AFFAIRS.

.Nh iesf, ~ ot dOnub thufcht orhnu3 wins VIZ
lage, After service by the Rev Messrs. Breck
and Coleman, I've observed Bishop Lee also
among the congrega tion) The latter introduced
the Rev. g. ID. Hinmnn who proceeded to deliv'
or an address in regard to his labors among the
Indians Of the Dakotah tribes, commonly called
the Sioux. His account Of the rapid and nu-
merous conversions Of these heather Red Men,
las Of the Chippeways too) to Christianity was
most encouraging, ss also his statement Of their
almost unexeeptionable consistency after their
baptism. He has now on average more than
800 Indians present at all his services, and among
these are more than 200 commandments The
way is now open for still further work among
them, with promise Of abundant success aud il
is proposed to increase the number Of stations
and missionaries. Toward this object there was
collection made at the meeting on Wednesday
with, what was afterwards handed him amount
ed to Sll7.60. After service, Mr.. Hinman
visited the Fair Of Trinity Church Sunday
School, the proceeds of which, we believe, are to
go to the sams object

the Agricultural Society Of New Castle County,
the Board Of Managers were directed 10 con .
tinus the sale Of stock In the Farm, until the
debt of that part Of the purchase money now

said stock among our farmers as generally as
possible They, therefore, invite subscriptions
to that effect They prefer that original stock
holders shall enlarge their subscriptions, aud
that smaller Investments be Immediately made,
agreeably TO the original plan. The limit OF
three shares Of stock TO each individual having
been set aside, the remainder will certainly be
taken, and the direction are unwilling that any

tpHa 1al oh C..k. a
and certificates Issued at par, at the office OF Dr..
Robert McCabe, Secretary, in Wilmington. We
hope the farmers will take hold Of the matter
and purchase the stock Immediately.
