Brandywine Springs Chapel.

ITs DEDICATION, YRsTERDAY-HIBToRIoAL SKETCH
OF ST. JAMES CHURCH, AT NEWPORT.
The new Protestant Episcopal chapel at Bran
dywine Springs was dedicated, yesterday after
noon, at o'clock. Rev. O. T. Fessenden, Rec
tor Of St. James church at Stanton, ofiicated,
and Rev. J. A. Stone, OF Newark, preached the
ledicatory sermon, Rev. 7. G.. Littel of this city
read the evening prayer, Rev. ID. ID. Smith, of
Christ church, Christiana Hundred, administered
the communion, and Rev. Mr.. Rdgway, of Mary
land, assisted in the general exercises. Bishop
Lee was not present. About 100 people were
inside the chapel and as many more outside, un-
able to gain an entrance. The chapel is a stone
structure, and il part of the building which
pumps up the water for the Use Of the Springs
The chapel is an outgrowth OF the original
church at Newport now closed, and services will
be held in it by Rev. Mr.. Fessenden, rector of
st. James Church at Stanton, which is also
sprung from the church at Newport.
THE MOTHER CHURCH,
St James it was called,) was one OF the oldest
church organizations in the State, and an cpl
tome of ts history will prove of interest at thit
time. Founded in the early part of the last cen
tury, it received the tender care of the English
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in
Foreign Parts, and was nurtured by it until the
time Of the Revolution. With the assistance
thus received, our forefathers secured AZ Goods
acre one of the finest localities in the village
containing, however. more than three acres, ant
upon it erected a substantial brick church, using
III ts construction only bricks imported from
England-as, indeed was the custom in those
days before 'home industry" had utilized even
our excellent brick clay. In this house of God,
FOR MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY,
the songs of praise and the prayers of the faith
ful SONS of the English church arose, and arount
s walls their remains lie buried. The strug
sic for Independence, however, inflicted severe
blow on the church, from which it has mover re
covered. The missionary rector in charge beinl
an EngliHhman, and the bulk of his support beinl
stipend derived from the English Society,it wa
not strange that he took sides against the Revo
luonists and maintained his allegiance to tn
Crown. Ultimately, he left his charge and re
turned to England, and the church left withou
apastor, fell into neglect. Knyphausens Hes
sian troops, marching from Elk river Northwar'
toward the struggle at Brandywine occupied til
building, and injured and dehled it, as usual.
In 1857, services of the Protestant Episcopa
church were recommended by Rev. VIM. Maj
shall, in the building originally erectedl by tli
Methodist Protestant Society, and in 1871, MI
Marshall also began to hold services at Brandy
wine Spings. These were continued until Jun
last in the hotel building at the Springs, an
now new chapel, dedicated to the purpose, ha
been provided.

THE CHILD OF FORMER wILMrNeToNIAN MISSING
IN PHILADELPHIA.
On Saturday last, Joe, a little year old son of
Thomas Harlan, carpenter, formerly residing
in this city, but now citizen of Philadelphia,
WAS missed in a manner which leads his parents
to suppose he has been abducted. He
was taken to his uncle, John Newlin, farmer,
who resides near Brandywine Summit but who
was in the South street market, Philadelphia, oil
that day, and while Mr.. Newlin went for his
horses in order to get off home, he left the
child at the wagon which was standing in the
street. When he returned the child was miss
ing and had not been found up
to 8 o'clock, this morning, although diligent
search was continued throughout yesterday for
the boy. Detectives are working up the case.
When Mr.. Harlan resided in this city his home
was at 9th and Madison.
