Sabbath School Normal Institutes.

During the month of October, three SER
les of meetings were held in Delaware
which were of deep interest to Sabbath
School workers, and of great practical
advantage to the cause of Sabbath Schools
generally as far their influence reached.
These were "Sabbath School Normal Insti-
tutes," conducted by Rev. J. S. Ostrander
D. D., of New York, general agent of the
Sabbath School Union Of the M. E. Church,
assisted by Pastors and Delegates from
surrounding charges.
The first was held in Milford, on the
10Th, 18th, ult., and is represented as of
greater and more general interest than any
thing which for a long time had engaged
the attention of her citizens. The local
paper gives nearly two and half columns to
report of its proceedings. The enthu-
siasm awakened there was increased and
intensified at Seaford, on the 10Th and Goth
ult., when measures were adopted looking
to periodical repetition of such exercises.
The last was held in Middletown, on the
23th and Gath ult., and was attended by
two representatives from this place. Rev.
J. S. Ostrander, ID. D., conductor, and Rev.
II. S. Thompson, secretary. Between fifty
and one hundred active Sabbath School
workers were present. The first half hour
of each session was given to prayer, and
service Of song. The singing under the
leadership of Prof. John G. Robinson, of
Baltimore.
The following were some of the subjects
presented and considered i'll Essays Adj

LETTER FROM WILMINGTON. DEL.

LIZ LEX FROM WlLMlNGION, DEL.
PoLITICAL--oUR CITY--IMpRovEMENTs-
THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER.
WILMINGTON, DEL, Nov. 10.
We have heard from Maryland. She has
done well. During the past week, the ques
ton of old Maryland citizens who are now
residents here-and they are not few
was, .'Have you heard from Maryland 90
We have heard from New York, too! The
returns make up bitter pill for the
Democracy-but it will be healthy for it;
it needs purging. Our little "city by the
hillside " has been delivered from the hands
of the enemy, and she prospers. The Off
cial machinery is in good condition-long
may it last.
Aside from the sensations of the earth
quake, and the elections, &C., we were fur
uished another on last Wednesday night.
1t was sad one-the suicide of one of our
most promising young lawyers. William S.
First, who studied for the profession under
U. S. Senator Bayard, and who was recent
iy admitted to the bar, shot himself at the
residence of Hon. VIM. G. Whitley, in
this city. Disappointment in love is given
as the cause of the sad affair, but it is
probable that other causes were at the bot
tom of it.
We are building Masonic Temple and
new Hotel, of which any city might be
proud. The Temple is among the grand
est in the country, the hall of which has
already been engaged for ball, to take
place in February. For the privilege the
modest little sum of $500 is to be paid
The building is now under roof, the iron
front is up and being painted white. and
now the attention of the workmen will be
turned to the inside finishing. The new
Hotel. at 9Th and Market streets, is also
going to be "big affair" 1t is pity it
could not have an iron front. But, as it
will be, when finished and thrown open to
the public, our sister city, up the river, will
not be able to better accommodate its guests,
in the way of good hotel, Then, too,
there are numbers of handsome and costly
residences being erected in most all parts
of the city. The new West PRESBYTERIAN
Church, at 9Th and Washington streets, is
destined to be one of the handsomest in
the country.
Our workshops are all busy-unusually
so. There is a great deal of work laid out
in the shipyards for winter work, and, in
fact, not only the shipyards, but the car
shops, machine shops and carriage factories
are all full. Two of our enterprising citi-
zens, Messrs. Dure and Bowers, are max
ing preparations to start an extensive car
works, which will add considerably to the
industry of our city. From all appear
ances, we do not think Wilmington has
any room to complain.

Arrest Of q Noted Horse Thief.-Sl

Arrest OF Noted Horse Thief.-SheriH
Denny succeeded in arresting, on Friday
November 18th, near Mt. Carmel, in North
cumberland county, Pa, a noted horse thief
named Patrick Hester. The arrest was
made in the morning about ! clock and
the prisoner lodged in Elkton Jail at half
past nine on the evening of the same day
When the Sheriff of Northumberland Co..
who accompanied Mr.. Denny read the war;
rant to Hester and told him that he was in
the custody of the Sheriff of Cecil county.
who held requisition from the Governor
of Pennsylvania, he backed off and left
Mr.. Denny to take care of Hester the best
he could. The horse thief showed signs OF
battle Immediately and demonstrated loudly,
once offering to strike the Sheriff, but he
drew a revolver and told the fellow he must
60, taking him at the same time toward
the cars which were close by. When the
cars reached Sunbury, Sheriff Denny was
notified that number of the confederates
of the prisoner were about the depot ready
to improve any advantage to rescue him.
but nothing of the kind was attempted.
and the prisoner was lodged in Jail at that
place till the train was ready to start
While crossing the Susquehanna River the
Sheriff discovered one Murphy, whom he
held writ for on a charge of petty
larceny. He Immediately secured Murphy
and taking a hand-cuff, manacled the two
prisoners together, and brought both on to
Elkton.
In January 1868, Mr.. Charles A. Bryan,
of Pivot Bridge, had stolen very valua-
BILE young horse, with bride and saddle
On the same night Mr.. Fletcher Price, Of
Chesapeake City, lost Buffalo robe, and
John Lavender, residing near the Delaware
line, also had a buggy stolen, all supposed
to have been taken by the same party OF
parties. Mr.. Bryan employed detectives
to search for his horse, which was found
in possession of Patrick Hester, the party
arrested, who lived at Mt. Carmel, and
bore the reputation of being connected
with company of disreputable characters.
Writs were issued for the arrest of Hester
and the recovery of the horse, and placed
in the hads of legal officers, who failed to
arrest him or recover the horse, the animal
being put out of the way when the officers
were about, and through inability of the
local officers, or some other cause, Hester
remained at large and in possession of III
horse. A short time before his arrest the
horse was shot one night while he was
riding along the road. He alleges that
seven shots were fred at him by concealed
parties, missing their victim but killing
the horse. He had the animal insured in
Stock Insurance Company, and, at tht
time of his arrest, was negotiating with
the insurance company for the recovery Of
the amount of the insurance.
The country round about Mt. Carmel is
a coal region, inhabited by rough set. Ii
is to be hoped if the prisoner is guilty,
that Mr.. Bryan will be able to sustain the
charge; and if innocent it is a misfortune
to be thus suspected and incarcerated in
prison far from home.
