ArHENEAN ExHIBITIoN.-Th Athenman Lit
erary Society Of Delaware College gave very
delightful entertainments in the College oratory,
last evening. A large audience was present, who
greatly enjoyed the various exercises
The performances opened with music by the
College Band, under the direction Of Prof. ]. L.
Beggs, and their performances were interspersed
through the programme. Mr.. G. W. Marshall
delivered the Salutatory address, and declama-
ton, The DlUer. Essays were read, by j. Lord
Graham, on Newspapers, and George Morgan on
Untoritten History Frank L. Springer delivered
a defamation, The Loss of the Arctic; Thomas
Lumb Jr., The Flag Restored on Suniptei- and
A. f. Williamson,a "a third, ,Spdrtdcus 10 The Roman

There were several dialogues, the first being
Dduid and Goliath, spoken by Messrs Lumb and
Williamson: Qudckeryby W. T., Hearn, and J.N.
Huston the Irish Interpreter, by ]. Lord Gra-
ham, and Gouverneur Emerson and an"Acting
Proverb," AL Is not Cold thai Glitters, which
closed the evening programme with great eclaI,
Messrs. Marshall, Springer Hearn, Davis, Nor
gan, and Emerson, taking part.
This summary includes the whole programme,
except three comic pieces, Attctioneer, by Mr..
Emerson; stump speech, Squire Bldzes, by
Thomas Davis and My WifeS Piano. by W.
1. Hearn These were all very amusing, and the
last being capitally rendered, drew forth shouts
Of laughter and applause.
The exercises were conducted nnder the direc-
ton Of Mr.. Reynolds, an old member, and opened
with prayer by Rev. Mr.. Stone. Newark would
be glad to often spend 80 pleasant an evening.

Reynolds OF the negative each are to occupy
one hour in closing the discussion for their
respective sides, and will doubtless be prepared

from the Squire, He has heard from New
Hampshire
Misther Etllitur.
Hows this, SURF It's quare word we're gettin
from New Hampshire. Here was Misther Dane,
that spoke in thunder tones'-that's what yez
calls it, isn't it ?-only last Saturday night, on
the wickidness of Prothection, and here, bedad
on Tuesday, New Hampshire goes and votes in
favor nv it. Misther Danes thunder seems too
short. Maybe he thinks it will rache as far as
Connecticut.
But, about the CRATE debate, agin. Well, to
listin to them iligant spakers fur Free Trade,
bedad you'd think Misther Dane, and Misther
Reynolds wud soon be givin things away, if the
Tariff was of, they wud be so chape. l fear me,

wages, how's he to buy the vittles and clothes,

SERMON, ON THURSDAY EVENING Mr.. GUARDS

is famiiarly called, preached a very eloquent
sermon at Riddles Chapel, on Thursday even
ing, from that beautiful passage in the Book of
Revelations, II am He that liveth, and was dead,
and behold, l ana alive for evermore."
Mr.. Guard possesses an affluence Of language
peculiarly his own. 1t is full Of the best words
in the English vocabulary. His style is an en-
bodiment Of poetic beauty. He is able to hold
his audience enchained, during the whole length
Of his sermon, by his manly and fervid enuncia-
tion Of Divine truth. He apparently makes no
efforts at display seemingly he is perfectly un-
conscious Of his pulpit powers. Whsn the church
service is over he appears to be the only person
that does not know, that grand sermon has
been preached, and that all the hearers has been
moved and delighted with the unusual beauty
and earnestness Of the preachers discourse.
He is now member Of the Baltimore Confer
ence, and is stationed at the Mount Vernon NJ.

The play presented, last evening, by the Jane
COMBS Company, was The Huncbback The
drama, itself, is rather disappointing its plot
is somewhat obscure and it is deficient in life
and variety. Those of its scenes, however, that
are striking aad amusing, were effectively rem
dered, last evening, such as the teachings in the
" Art Of Love" given to Master M0dus, by Miss
Helen. Certainly, the dnllest scholar must lave
improved, with so much assistance by 30 capable
an instructor.
Mr. Nelson played the lover, carefully, and
with considerable ability, but he greatly lacked
passion. Mr.. Robinson would have put mere fire
into it.

Ine hRgreBate capacity OF the mills OF the
city will then be ,125000 spindles, 25 900 looms
The production Of these %, 900 will be 1924 900
yards per day.
The aggregate capital stock of the Fall River
mills at present is about eleven millions of dol
lars, but this does not give an adequate idea OF
the exact amount invested in the business. The
corporation Of a mill having an original capital
OF Sl75 600, has upwards of 200 worth OF
property, the accumulation Of the undivided
earnings Probably twenty million Of dollars
would not not cover the exact amount invested
in weaving cloth in this city, One secret of
the success of the Fall River manufactures, is
that most Of the stock in them is held by the
residents Of that city. Less than nine per cent
is held by non-residents. Nearly every person
in the city, in comfortable circumstances owns
stock in one or more mills. One new mill ha =
ing a capital of $55O,O00, has 2O3 stockholders
