The Internal Revenue Officers.

As recently published statements seem to have
created some confusion as to what changes had
been made in The Internal Revenue service in
this State, we give the following list of the otli-
GERS now constituting the Assessors Department :
The Assessor is Geo. b. Dickson, whose Office
Is at Dover, it being located at that point for the
greater convenience Of the manufacturers, whom
u is thought rather enjoy than otherwise trip OF
100 miles 600 there and 80 back) on the railroad,
in cisc they should have any business TO transact
with this office.
The Assistant Assessors are as follows:
Division No. /. consisting of Brandywinc,
Cliri. .tiina, Mill Creek and part Gf White Clay
Creek Hundreds, j. NJ. Braciin.
Division No. 2. the city OF Wilmington, frank

RELIGIOUS TOPICS.

AT recent celebration of the Sunday
School Union of Paterson, N. j., it was
stated that the Sunday school enterprise was
started in that city seventy-four years ago
by Sarah Colt, a little girl eleven years of
age. She collected the children of the fac
tories together, and taught them from Sun
day TO Sunday, until she had as many as six
ty under her personal care. For forty years
she was teacher, and is still living in Pat
erson, eighty-five years Of age. On the oc-
casion referred to, four thousand teachers
and pupils, forming procession over two
miles long, marched past the residence of
this mother in Israel, saluting her with their
sweetest songs, and receiving in return her
Acknowledgements in smiles and bows.
The number Of students in the various
Congregational theological seminaries this
year are reported as follows: Bangor, 43 |;
Andoyer, 1l5; Yale, 50; Hartford, "a :
Oberlin, II Chicago 46; Total, 27l. A
small army for the broad field to be occu-
pied.
The reunion movement in the Presby-
terian family does not meet very cordial
welcome from the Southern brethren. They
seem inclined to favor only the course which
devolves all the Cancellation and concession
on their Northern brethern. But as The
Evangelist remarks: "Charleston and
Richmond held out long in the late war, but
even they surrendered at last. So it may be
in the Church of the South"
The colored Methodists have been In
Conference session at Boston. The Trave.
Ter of that city remarks in its Mondays is
| sue of that week: .'More churches In this
city were occupied by colored clergymen
yesterday than ever on one day before.
Among them were five Bishops of the Zion
| (colored) M. =. Church.

The Railroad TO the west.

The people In Pennsylvania, along the route of
the proposed railroad from this city to Gettys-
ourg and Westward have been actively at work
holding meetings, securing subscriptions, &C.,
&c., for the past few weeks, notwithstanding the
very busy season and the excessive heat There
is the warnest and most earnest desire to Coop
crate and secure the construction of this great
and truly important line of communication. Iu
Lancaster county, several meetings have recently
been held and invitations were extended 10 Will
mington to have representatives thereat, in order
to consult, compare views, &C., &c. Unfortu-
nately, perhaps, for us, nobody has seemed to be
able to respond to these calls.
The Committee of the Board of Trade have re-
ceived letter from Hon. s. G. Boyd, of York,
Pa, in which he encloses the notice of the meet
ing OF the Commi ssioners named in the incorpo-
ration of the Peach Bottom Railway Company,
which will construct the link from Peach Bottom
to Hanover Junction. Thes, gentlemen are
Thomas g. Cross Valentine Trout. James SFul-
ton, William McSparran, A. Z. Manifold, Samuel
W. Whiteford Foulk Jones, J.D Ramsay, Rufus
Wiley and Charles X. McConkey. They are to
meet at the house of Daniel Beverson, in Peach
Bottom township York county, August 5th Mt
10 o'clock.
Mr.. Boyd, in his letter, says =
81 wish, exceedingly, Wilmington could be
represented at this meeting, not indeed to sub
scribe to the construction of our end of the road
from Hanover Junction to Peach Bottom, but to
compare views; secure concert Of action in-
splre confidence in our people, and make them
feel that by due exertion this project may soon
be grand reality. If possible, have Wilmington
at the meeting.'

l>FANT ABANDoSED.-On Saturday week Jas.
Wooterers, of Denton, Nd, discovered an infant
in some bushes along the road, near that town.
The Denton Union, speaking of the affair, has the
following: =
1t is now known to have been there in the
woods for one day aud two nights from the fact
that woman was seen vending her way towards
town ON Thursday with child in her arms and
returning later in the day without it, She also
carried the child to Isaac Lewis, colored, living
near town, where his wife fed it. This woman
wanted 10 leave 1t here while she s.went into
town., as she said, but Isaac's wife refused 10
grant her request. From this place she began to
retrace her steps, and is supposed that it was
shortly after this interview that the child was left
N the woods. Night ovcitakng her when near
Mr.: VIM. Fishers she begged permission to re-
nam Tor the night, sayingt that she was ina strange
stated that she had left the child at her sisters.
When questioned as to her name and residence
she Invariably gave evasiye answers and no in-
formation on these subjects could he obtained
Before retiring she told Mr.. Fishers family thai
she was going to take the cars from Greensboro
When MIR. F. S family arose the next morning the
woman was gone. and has not been heard of since.
IL is very generally believed that this woman is
not the mother of the child, but was hired to dis
pose of it in some way. She was apparently for
dressed in light colored frock black shawl. straw
bonnet and veil. After the child was brought
n.o towu IL was taken care oil by Mr. j. Tylor,
who concluded to raise it himself sooner than see

although having been much exposed, and is do
ing Well This will, perhaps, be gratifying intel
ilsence to Its mother II this article should come
under her observation. IL is apparently three
weeks old, and is girl. Lillian Forrest is the
namt given 1t by its fostcr-parents.
u Is not known where the woman who lett the
child resides, but is supposed somewhere in Del
rection.
