what the parents could not. In the yard
was an old flour barrel, which had for
merly been used as dog kennel, but had
recently been converted into receptacle
for rubbish. Mr.. Rooster was on the
look out for tit-bils, and inserted his beak
into the plump little arm of the uichin,
who set up lusty yell. The family made

Tor shad fishing closed on Tuesday last.
Taken altogether, the fisherman pro-
nounce Il a poor season. Those fishing
between Fort Delaware and Pennsgrove
did middling we'll, bat those further up
the Delaware had very poor success. The
catch below Fort Delaware and In the
creeks on either side Of the river seward
from that point, were about as success

for this discrepancy is, that the Della

cradle distance below and above Phila-

Our Sundays more than other days OF the week
seem to be blessed with the rare sunshine that
now and then brightens the gloom Of this dreary
Spring, and yesterday was bright and charming.
Accordingly the streets Of both our sister cities
were filed with church-going people, who poured
into the sacred ediflces with cheerfulness which
was almost eager and sat in happiness to sing
HYMNS and listen to words Of kindly and holy
counsel.
Among the Catholic services OF the day the most
important were those which occurred at st. Peters
church, in Barclay street. Here vast throng OF
worshippers gathered, and the Rev. Father QUINN
recently elected Vicar General OF the diocese, to
succeed the late Father STAIRS, preached his fare.
well sermon to his people in words of touching elo-
quence. The Rev. Mr.. Prentlss of the Church OF
the Covenant also preached his valedctory dis

The reports given below will be found to repro
duce the most original and striking utterances Of
the preachers yesterday, and therefore should not
be devoid Of interest to the serious public.

The reverend gentleman was evidently much
moved. His voice trembled as he neared the close,
and after making the above request, he turned
quickly and descended from the pulpit. The hand
kerchies and eyelids were again In suspicious con-
tguity when Father Farrell proceeded. at the close
OF the sermon, to sing the "Credo." HIS notes
were given with an evidently involuntary trembe.
