Mr.. Whitfield deserves all praise for his en-
erl,y aud industry. Whilst the remains OF his
parn stable and sheds were still hot and smoul-
derng, he began to remove the debris and pre-
pare to rebuild. In two days he had a capacious
shed, with troughs, racks, &c, completed, and
ere long the barn and stable will be reconstruct
ed. Such an indomitable spirit of enterprise
must be rewarded.
The trial Of Taylor, for the murder Of Mackey,
seems to excite intense interest in the two
states of Delaware * Penna, and the court room
has been uncomfortably crowded during its pro-
grees. Relatives and friends of both Mackey and
Taylor are present in considerable numbers, and
Judging from the appearance and conduct of the
prisoner and his friends, one would never imag-
Inc that the former was resting under so serious
charge, with clear and connected evidence of
his guilt being rendered hourly

BY an agreement with the only Catholic on the
jury, they went to the Catholic church in the
morning, and he was to join them in attendance
upon service in a Protestant Church in the
evening, Judge Wooten, however, interfered
with that nice little arrangement, by declaring
that he thought they had enough for one day
and could not go out in the evening. The sher-
if has done all in his power to render the jury
men comfortable during their continued sojourr
in the Court House.

goods and farming implements. The last wa

pursued by some of the party's creditors. They

they had no proper warrant Of law, it escaped
over into Pennsylvania, and thence to New Jer-

RE-UEIoN AT sr. ANDREWS CHURCH, LAST EVEN
The Sunday Schools connected with the soy
eral Episcopal churches gathered in annual re-
union at ST. Andrew Church, last evening, and
with their friends completely filled that house OF
worship. St. Andrews and Calvary Schools oc-
cupied the side blocks of seats, and st.. Johns
aud the Old Swedes. with ita Trinity chapel, the
central blocks, All the schools turned out
strongly but st. John's which was probably ow
ng TO the distance away and the storm.
The opening services were after the form Of
the Episcopal church, and were participated in
by several of the minister's present, these being
Bishop Lee, Reys. L. G. Littel L. Il. Arnold,
Dr.. Clemson Of Claymont, DR.. Frost, William
Gallagher of Massachusetts, G. A.Latimer, DIR.
Riley of Mexico, and William Murphy. Geo Jack
conducted the singing and William Parry was the
organist, he having kindly volunteered for the
occasion.
Addresses were made by Bishop Lee, who in
few words expressed his pleasure at 30 large
an attendance OF the young peop,e by Rev. Mr.
Ilittell, who spoke Of the love Of God for little
