STEAMBOAT GossIP.--All the people interested
in steamboats,, and we believe just at present this
Includes all the inhabitants of this city are agi-
tated by all kinds of rumors concerning what the
next move in steamboating will be- Some con-
fdentally assert that the John Sylresteri is coming
here tomorrow, and some that some other boat
is coming, to be put on the same line with the
Hdncoa.
Others say that the Railroad company has pur-
chased the new steamer, the Sue, to run between
Philadelphia and Cape May, and that the Compa
ny intends running both the s. M. FELTON,, which
this arrangement releases, and the Ariel between
hare and Philadelphia.
The truth of all these rumors we believe to be
about as follows Since the Eliza Hancoa was
disabled an effort has been made to get boat,
belonging to the same company, from New York,
to take her place while she was undergoing re-
pairs. The effort was unsuccessful, and no new
boat will be put on the line, but the officers o.
the Hancor confidently expect that she will be
able to resume her trips on Saturday morning.
Whether the RAILROAD Co. has bought the Sa,
ornot We are not prepared to say, but that sh'
Il or soon will be in the possession Of the Com
pany and will for time take the Felfons plac
between Philadelphia and Cape May is a fact
The Felton, will then be brought here for repair
and may, after being refltted, run for short tim
between here and Philadelphia, but this will no
Dc permanent arrangement, and will probabl
only last while the Ariel herself is undergoing
some repairs.
On the other hand the John Syicesfer will nc
be Withdrawn from the James River until mex
iall' and it is probable that it will then be will
arawn and put on the route between here an
Philadelphia.
Until that time, then, the contest for the publ
travel on the river lies between the Ariel and u
Lianccn.

he will be all right.

John to meet him out back of the Grant House
and have n fair stand up fight. John promptly
accepted, and so at about o'clock last evening

of the fight was that there was to be no kicking,

contract, and after the fight had gone on for some
time, kicked Patrick in the face and badly in

EXHIBITION AT THE NORMAL ScnooL.-The
second public Exhibition of the Delaware State
Normal University took place on Tuesday even
ing, in the school building.
The evening was rainy and somewhat disagree
able, but quite large audience assembled to wit
ness the performances.
The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev.
Vim. II, Marsh.
The essay Excelsior by Miss Carswell was an
ambitious effort and was very well written. 1t
showed as did almost all the essays and orations
a truly remarkable improvement over the similar
efforts of the exhibition last winter "Duties of
| the Household by Miss Mary E. Peterson, "Kind-
ness by Miss Viola B. Sampson, and "Home"
by Miss Carrie Roberts, and "Happiness," by
Miss Ella B. Houseman, were all prettily written
and well delivered, evidencing both thought and
cultivation. "Sccnes in Market Street," by Miss
Rachel Mccall was very fair and showed observa-
tIon and common sense, two qualities not, SO gen.
orally displayed in school girls compositions ms
might be. Miss Lizzie G. Shakspeare's essay on
Napoleon was certainly an original production
and the views she took of her hero, were remarka-
bic. Her essay was thoughtful one but failed
| somewhat in the dcliverance.
The essay on "Life's Teachings" by Miss
Frazer, was unqucstionaby the best essay and
was really excellent, displaying thought judg-
ment md matured taste.
iEAs is frequently the case in such exhibitions,
The young ladies far exceed the generality Of
the young gentlemen.
Bookkeeping" by Norris G. Pass, certainly
surpassed in the way of eulogum any pro-
ductlon with which we are familiar, in which
that subject is treated. Mr.. 2. was eloquent in
its praises
"Snow," an Grafton by Samuel Rogers, was
remarkable chiefly for its characteristic of solid
and scientific information.
"Study of Nature" by Mr.. Robert E. Smith,
was undoubtedly the finest essay delivered or
the occasion, and much of the language was
worthy of Addison himself. youth" by James
Devine, contained much fine writing, and wal
delivered with earnestness and force. The con
Guiding grafton of the occasion and the ont
which took the first prize was Education by
George w. Townsend, of st. Georges. II was {
flrstrate composition of the kind, and it is en-
couraging to find among our young men sucl
liberality and breadth of view.
The music was all vocal with piano accompani
: ment and was very good. The solos by Missel
, Scott and Houscman, and by Mr.. Townsend, an,
Duet by the young ladies named, were all ex
! cellent.
The prizes awarded by the examining commit
tee are as follows:
Best essay by lady, to Miss Elizabeth D. Fra
. zer Wilmington, a Webster's Quarto Dictionary
Best Grafton by a gentleman to Mr.. George W
G Townsend, of St. Georges, the same prize.
