Dece0sed.-1aflan Cloud died at his resi-
oehc. IN the upper rart OF Christiana Hundred,
on Monday last after r long and painful atirc-
ton OF the kidneys that had threatened to ter
inmate fatally at various times. IL was only
tnioilgh the skill of DR.. Joseph Chandler that
ms life was prolonged on several occasions
He was quite an extensive farmer, and a pro,ni.
neht member of the Democratic party, having
hileu various positions at public meetings. and
on one OCCASION was elected to the Legislature
we presume that he was near seventy years of
age Although his sons had succeeded TO the
management OF his farms, and he had with
era"h iii great measure from business, he will
De much missed In the neighborhood.
Reripdt.-One Of the greatest reviyals is now
going on In the Methodist churches of this citv
ana vicinity, that has taken place for many
years. 1t Is estimated that some eight hundred
nave been converted In the County, and admit
ted on probation. OF this nu nber nearly 100
may De put down at Asbury, and about the
same number at Union, while the interest in
THESE churches continues undated. The con-
gregatlons have been large and OIL Sunday
night at the first named a large number were
unable TO procure seats, and many returned to
thsir homes or went to some other place OF
worship, conclusively show that another M T..
church IS needed In the lower section of our
city.

away other structures erected BY less experi-

other places, there has not been a single com.
plant. Those who have work Of this kinJ that

Lecture. On Saturday EVENING last In,
d. Grimshaw delivered au interesting leclnre
before the Institute of Mechanic Arts. on "The
Ear aud Sound" In his preliminary remarks
No said that he had not come to give his audi
ence an exhibition like that Of Prof. Pepper ON
the evening preceding-it would moi be on
quite as large scale, but nevertheless he would
try TO make II interesting and profitable as nos.
sible to his hearers. He described sound as
being vibrations or waves of air the clearer
ana ilghter the air the more distinct was th,
sound, and the denser and heavier the Air the
more dlnicult 1t became to detect sound: 10 H.
lustrate II he wound up a music box and nlared
u untler an air receiver, from which, AFTER being
forced tllll OF air,no sound whatever was emitted
he said that water was an excellent cunduetor
oil sound. Whom boy lie had often tried
cracking Two stones together under water and
thought That many in the audience had proba
piy tiieu the same experiment. He exhibited
| large ihouel OF The ear with its drum, laba-
ryhih, nerves, NC, explaining the effects of
SOUND on the different parts and how il was
conducted TO the brain. He stated that the
eartilaeenoas portion of the ear was that Dor
tion which retained the sound The inside was
the ear proper: Persons who We're slightly deaf
would put their hand to the ear in ,riar Ia
catch the sound more perfectly. or would he
compelled 10 use trumpet in going through
which the sound would rebound from one side
to another until H. raarhaa i,a In,,;., 80 ''o
