New THEORY IN THE ATTORNEY GEyEnAL's
CuNDucT.-At Dover, ahere Attorney General
Pennington resides, it is believed that he is
''nore sinned against than sinning." The as
sertion is made, the Smyrna Times learns that
tue case was ''puJ up job" against him to
wsrd trial. A banquet to Sheriff Lambson was
made the occasion for overthrowng his resolu-
ton of total abstnnnce. He was victimized
with toasts aud toasts ncapacitated him from
making his argument before the court. Such is
the assertion coming from his friends.

Down at Dover the opinion is expressed that
tue Attorney General has been vctlmized by
certain of the members of the bar in this county
aud has thus gone back to his old habits What
nonsense. The members Of the New Castle

uniting that such were the case what 1msy
material they must have below that their heads

DEATH OF REV. MATTHIAS JERMAN.-Rev. Mat
tnias Jerman died quite unexpectedly of pneu-
monia at Camden Del. on Saturday last. He
was formerly all itinerant minister of tho NJ. E..
Church, and, says the Smyrna Tnes, held a
leading position in the New Jersey Conference,
of which he was member He entered the
ministry about 1884, his first appointment being
Dover Circuit, where he served as 'junior
preacher with the celebrated Irish minister
lev. Wm. Barnes. At the separation of New Jer-
s,,y from the Pla. Conference Mr. j., being sta
TONED in that State, joined the New Conference,
filing leading appointments there until compell-
ed to relinquish public speaking and resign the
ministry. An affection of the head well nigh de-
stroyed his articulation, and from this ailment
he never thoroughly recovered After year or
more of rest from ministerial life, during which
time he resided in this town, he was prevailed up
on to return to his field of labor, but renewal OF
public speaking brought him back to his affiIc-
tion. He gave up his calling and engaged in
agricultureJ with success. He possessed clear,
strong mind, and was most forcible speaker.
He was born near Dagsboro, Sussex county, and
was a tanner by trade. The remains were in.
tered at Smyrna on the 9th.
