lay evening the 10TH OF febrtlary. ouDlect OF
the first lecture" Woman's WORTH and Wo- I;
mans Work. Subject of the second lecture !
''Woman's Rights and Woman's Wrongs" The ,
ability Of the lecturer will enable
him to present these subjects to his audience in
pleasing and instructive form. The price of ad-
mission 30 cents for each lectures tickets for
both lectures admitting q gentleman and two
ladies, 81. We need not enlarge upon DIR.
McCabe's ability in this community, but as he
enjoys widespread popularity as a lecturer, 1t
may be well to show our readers the estimation in
which he is held in other places, for which pur-
pose we ask attention to the following extracts:
The Baltimore American, of Nov. II, 1856,
says The Rev. DR.. McCabe will deliver a course
Of three lectures at the New Assembly Rooms.
The first lecture is on Genius-ts misfortunes
and infrmities' second will be on "The
History and Moral Power of the Printing Press
and the third ON "The Life and Character of |
Chief Justice MARSHALL subjects that cannot |
fail in the hands of so distinguished lecturer, |
to command the attention of the intelligence of
the city.
The Baltimore Methodist Protestant of Nov.
Is, 1885, says We perceive that course OF
lectures is to be delivered to citizens, by Rev.
John G. McCabe, of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, Lexington street, and from the character
of the lecturer and the subjects to be treated we
doubt not that they will be Of much interest and
instruction. As lecturer, this gentleman has
given previous evidence of his abilities, before the
mcncemcnt of one of our public High Schools.
| The BAIT. Sun, of Dec. o. 1856, says THE
''lIistory and Moral Power of the Printing Press
is the interesting subject of the lecture to be de-
livered by Rev. DR.. John G. McCabe this eve
ming The last lecture by this gentleman, on the
Life and Character of Chief Justice Marshall, was
most brilliant and chaste, and we have no doubt
the lecture this evening will surpass all previous
| efierts.
The Baltimore Evening Republican, of Decem-
| ber llth, 1885, says The New Assembly sa-
loon was graced on Tuesday evening, with
| of the most respectable and intelligent audiences
We have seen assembled for a long time past, to
attend the third and last public lecture of the
course delivered by Rev. DR.. John G. McCabe.
The subject was History and Moral Power of
the Printing Press, &" upon the details of which
the reverend gentleman appeared to be perfectly
ufdt, and which he illustrated with profund-
ity, depth of reasoning and q brillancy of style
" hich carried captive the attention and sympathy
of his audience until the closing word. The en-
tire discourse was delivered by the talented speak
er with full clear voice, of proper emphasis,
which fell upon the ear of every auditor with the
most gratifying impressment.
The Peoples Advocate, York, Pa. in speaking
of lecture delivered there by DR.. McCabe, says :
We acknowledge that we have rarely enjoyed
so much pleasure in the lecture room-plcasure
that afforded instruction and profit, and which
derived its attractions from high-toned eloqucnce.
The Richmond Dispatch in aluding TO DR..
McCabc says Mr.. MoCabe is a native of Rich
mond His distinction both as an eloquent di-
vine and popular lecturer is Il source Of gratf-
cation to his many friends here.
Dr. Chatham delivered a very able and in
structive lecture in the Town Hall, on Thursday
evening-Subect-" Life and Death" The lee
turer held his audience in wrapt attention.
{ throughout its delivery, and at its close Rev DR..
McCabe arose and moved the thanks of the au-
dience We have seldom listened TO lecture
! with which we were more pleased His illustra-
ton of the origin of Life and Death in the de-
velopment and decay of the material universe,
, in the combinations and changes occurring in
its constituent elements, in the material and spr-
s itual organism of man, and the approaches and
& causes If death, was clear and comprehensive,
and held up to his audience in the light of sci
= entiRc research. 1t would have been more graf
flying if a larger number OF our citizens had
been present to enjoy, with us, this rare ntelec
tual treat; but no doubt the muddy condition
p of the roads kept many persons at home whC
would otherwise have been present,
TmEvIxG.-There are numerous persons in Del
= aware who have no fear of the whipping-post be
l. fore their eyes, in proof of which we instance tn
following:
n Mr. Richard r. Cochran had set of singh
harness stolen from his carriage house on Satur
day night last The thief was tracked toward
t, this town.
Mr.. William Burnham, last week, had tw
y bushels of clover seed and lot of grain stolc
from his premises.
Mr.. R. Thomas Cochran had his poultry al
stolen one night last week. Mr.. Richard G. Hayes
residing this town, had his poultry stolen
Of also. And about two weeks since, Miss Rach,
" Ireland of this town, had all her poultry stole
ne except one chicken.
n IN LucK.-The clergymen in Newark, appear I
tb be in luck. Within the past few weeks, Rev. Nj
:" Hamilton and Rev. Mr.. Vallandigham, of Il
Presbyterian Church. and Rev. ]. France, of tf
NJ. L. Church. have each received liberal donf
tions of provisions, and their purses have al:
H. been handsomely replenished through the gen
er rosity of their respective congregations. I'll
ministers may have Jared equally well in 9th
lr- sections, but it really that Newark must
h. a real Goshen for those who labor for the spiri
ual welfare of the people.
THE SHERIFFALTY.-The Republican says =
There are, we belive ten candidates for the r
publican nomination for the Office of Sheriff
New Castle county. The rivalry between the
as will certainly prove highly interesting, as some
of them have been circulating cards among the &C
ored brethren and taking measures to secure thC
oh votes. 1t is pretty certain that the 18th amen
ment will he ratified and therefore the colored
ement becomes important. Their assessme
should be ATTENDED to.
