At s O'Clock, on Wednesday morning, fam
ilv gathering of the members and friends OF
tIe SMYRNA NJ +. Church was held III the
font of the ''YOung Mems Christian AsSOcla-
t;on. " when for two hours the most cordial and
hearty interchange of Christian sentiment and
experience was enjoyed.
On Thursday morning a general experience
meeting was held in the St Paurs tent. Near
" all the meetings in this tent were under the
charge Of Rev. S. i. Gracey, as the Nj. Il.
Church of this place had been invited to unite
with the St. Paul's company.
The experience meeting alluded to was un-
surpassed by any meeting held during the
week. Scores Of witnesses stood up for Jesus,
and the most thrilling relations OF Christian
experience that We ever heard were given
Such singing it has seldom been our fortune to
hear.
Rev. Mr.. Milby preached an excellent SER
mon, which was interrupted by frequent show,
ers of rain. At the first tall Of rain the crowd
dispersed from the stand. The st. Paul tent
was soon filled, and prayer meeting was I'm,
mediately started; there being an interval OF
perhaps half on hour from the closing OF the
previous meeting The weather continued un-
! favorable for out door services during the day,
and the meeting thus begun in the st. Paul 5
tent continued without intermisslon, Tor q
hours. During the entire afternoon and night
the altar was crowded with penitents, and
souls were gloriously converted every. hour
The meeting continued with unabated Interest
until II o clock at noon on Friday, when We
left the ground. Services were held on Thurs
day afternoon in.the Dover and Magnolia tent
in the former Rev A. Wallace, Editor o
the Methodist Home Journal, in the latter
Rev. C. P Masden, Of Cambridge, preached
to large congregations.
In consequence of the heavy rains in th'
evening there was no preaching, but very in
teresting and successful meetings were held il
the st. Pauls and Dover tents, in the ten
of the Young Mems Christian Association
Of Smyrna, and several private tents.
The meeting broke up on Friday morning
and is regarded as great success in every man
ner The general order was very good
the prayer and other social meetings wer
most excellent. In the last 24 hours it
thought that there were not less than 100 con
versions.

HOUSE BREAKING.-On Tuesday night,
July 23d, the house of Mr.. Geo. W. johnson
four miles from Milford, was entered in the
absence of the family, but strange to say
nothing was disturbed the next day Mrs.
johnson returning home and finding the win
dow sash broken, became alarmed and re-
quested her cousin to stay with her during her
husbands absence Sometime during the
following night some unknown person entered
the house passed through Mrs. Us room to
the room occupied by her cousin. After lock-
ing the door-the key being on the outside, he
returned to and again entered Mrs is room
approaching the bed he ran his hand carefully
over il, which coming in contact with her per-
son instantly woke her. Mrs j., compre-
hending her situation, nstinctively raised her
foot and striking it suddenly, and with much
force against the stomach of the intruder
knocking him violently to the floor. Jumping
from the bed she ran to her cousins room
screaming at the top of her voice. She soor
succeeded in srousng him, not, however
before the person had escaped.
A SIMILAR attempt was made the following
Saturday to enter the house of Stewart Walton
in the same neighborhood. Milford 4rgus.
We are also informed that recently the
store Of Mr.. Mfiiin, at Camden, was broker
into at night and the money drawer searched
but finding but little the parties rctreated
taking with them some eggs, crackers anC
cheese. Shortly after store at Vernon, il
this county, was entered and similar theft
made. Money was their object. The thieves
were tracked from Vernon, we are informed
and come UP with in the woods, where one wa
arrested. Two others made their escape
They had place fitted up in the woods wher
they stayed during the day, and robbed the pee

PEACH NEws.-The first regular peach train

with % cars. These, with number by the
regular freight and by express, made about
II, 900 baskets shipped over the road yester-
day-the largest amount ever shipped IN one
day at the opening Of the season.
A communication in another column gives
some interesting facts concerning the shipment
of peaches by Del. Il. H., and reflects pretty
severely thereon.
The line of steamers from Mahon's Land
ing to New York started yesterday. We un-
derstand that a number Of large peach growers
around Dover will ship their peaches by this
route to avoid the charges on the railroad.
Most Of the shippers east Of this town are
sending their fruit to Phila., by steamer Secdl
for the present, we learn. They thiuk it pay.
better than shipping to New York by railroad
the tariff ON the latter being SO heavy
Last evening about one hundred men ant
boys, from Phila, passed through this towr
to the farm of Henry Gurkcr near kenton
to pick peaches Mr. q. is the most EXTENSIVE
grower in this State, we believe. He has il
bearing this year over seren hundrcd and dtcentl
acres, and estimates his crop at from 1900
to 100, 600 baskets, or a basket to the tree
lie expects to employ over one hundred mel
in picking, about fifteen teams in hauling ant

his freight charges for the season at $4,000.

THE LYNCHING CASE.-Governor Salisbury
says, we are reliably informed that if the
Grand .July don t investigate the case of mob
violence near I.eipsc he wW take the matter
an hand himself: that it is an outrage against
law and the well being Of society and must
not be overlooked. This is very fair talk on
the part Of the Governor, but it hardly meets
the case. Why has he not offered reward
for the arrest Of the guilty parties, as he would
probably do in other cases of murder, and not
wait to see whether the Grand Jury would do
its duty or not! lie ought to take " hold OF
the matter himself" without regard to the
Grand Jury.
We are also informed, reliably, that the
Governor expresses the opinion that the act
was political move, perpetrated by the Re
publicans to bring the State into disreputc
and cause the Interference of Congress and the
Freedmen Bureau in their behalf. If the
Governor 50 believe he may take the necessary
steps to bring the parties to justice; and lie
will hardly throw the duties upon the Grand
Jury, either As the Grand Jury does not s
until October we should think he would wan
10 investigate the case before that lIenod an(
thwart the plans Of the Radicals. That tn
demands of justice might be met it were we
for him to 50 believe. But does he so believe
The Freedman Bureau has already give
attention to the matter. Coroner Cats ha
been written to by the Secretary Of the Burea
at Wilmington, to give the facts in the case
and we learn that the Officers of the Burea
have requested the State authorities to invel

DISEASE PRoDUcED BY SLEEPING To-
GETHER.-Duing the night says a writer on
hygienics, there is considerable exhalation
from our bodies, and at the same time We ab-
sorb large quantity of the vapors of the sur
rounding air. Two healthy young children
scrpiug together will give and receive healthy
exhalations; but an old, weak person near a
child WILL in exchange for health, only return
weakness. 4 sick mother near her daughter
communicates sickly emanations to her if the
mother has a cough of long duration, the
daughter will at some time also cough and
suffer BY it if the mother has pulmonary con-
sumption, it will ultimately communicated to
hr child. 1t is known that the bed of a con-
sumptive is powerful and sure source of con-
t. gion, as well for men as for women, and the
more SO for young persons. Parents and
friends ought to oppose as much as in their
power the sleeping together of old and young
persons, Of the sick Of the healthy.
