We have received the particulars. Of horrible
story of desertion by IN unnatural mother, OF
her children, 1t Laurel, on Sunday last and tho
subsequent death of the little infants. It ap-
pears. after . careful investigation of the mat
ter, that some time since young girl lwhoss

ident Of Laurel, and OF highly respectable pa
rents in All evil hour, " loved not wisely but too
we'll" Becoming conscious of her condition,
and stung with remorss and shame, she went out
into the woods on Sunday morning last, where
she gave birth to two children-A boy and girl
The inhuman mother left the two innocent
little creatures lying on the ground - they came
into the world, to die OF exposure and star
vation. and went into town again, and ate
her dinner ut hoe sisters, and remained there,
in order, no doubt, to avoid suspicion. On
Tuesday morning, however, dog came up TO
the house, with one OF the victims Of her cruel
ty in its mouth On seeing the evidence Of her
crime brought 30 plainly before her. she be-
came terribly Agitated, aud acknowledged that
it was her offspring, and that she bad deserted
it, aud also said that there was another one in
the woods. After confessing her guilt, she
seized upon favorable opportunity, and hed.
other babe was found, and on examination 1t
was discovered that it was nearly devoured by
buzzArds.
The Coroner held an inquest on the bodies
Of the unfortunate little victims, on Tuesday
afternoon, when the jury returned verdict
| that they came to their death from exposure
and starvation, by being deserted by theii
| mother.
At this writing all efforts to tind..the girl have
been unsuccessful.

Tho oyster an Europe,

The common oyster Of Europe. abundant on
the coasts Of Great Britain aud France, occurs
in large banks or beds; sometimes extending for
miles, usually on rocky bottoms; from about the
middle Of August to the middle Of May they are
dredged from the bottom by kind OF iron rake
dawn by boat under full sail, several hum
dreds being taken at ct single haul; these are
transferred to artificial beds or parks where they
are preserved for sale continually growing in
size and improving in flavor. The growth Of the
oyster is slow, it being only ~ large a. a half
dollar 1t the end Of four TO elk months. and twice
that size at tile end OF year; in artificial beds
the growth is usually slower, the full size not
being attained till the fifth to seventh year. The

NEW CASTLE, Nov. 20.
Justice stays not for storm in Delaware. When
once prisoner is sentenced to the pillory and
"cat," his punishment overtakes him with GER
tAinty which is unerring and never fails. The
rain, therefore, this morning, did not prevent
the administration Of the public punishment to
the first batch Of convicts nor yet did it deter
the convicts from Watching the methods Of our
''peculiar institution" About six hundred spec
tators were present, crowding the jail yard pret-
ty full.
As usual the pillorying took place first, and H
b. Holmes and Nathan DENLY we're fastened in
the stocks for an hour. This began at II o'clock.
DENLY was somewhat demonstratiye, and the
sherin promised him severe iogging, which
he got At the proper time.
At 70 o'clock the whippings began. George
White was the first hssped to the post. He had
stolen pistol, and twenty lAshes were his por-
| ton. These were lightly administered, and were
received without much apparent suffering:
Andrew johnson, who with Charles Mullen
had stolen set Of harness from Lewis We'll
din, next barred his back and was well punished
with twenty lashes, feeling it keenly.
J. H. Pollard, also convicted Of larceny, re-
ceived twenty lashes. which whitened his back
reversing the order OF color.
Charles Mullen, the confederate Of johnson
was lightly punished with twenty lashes, but ht
suffered intensely.
Joseph Derias, another harness thief also got
| twenty lashes and WAS severely whipped
When Nathan DENLY was brought out (his OF
fence was burglary every one expected to see {
severe logging, - the sheriff had promised, AMI
they were not disappointed. Tho ''cat" WAS vel
laid on, and Denby suffered extremely
A. J. Holmes horse thief, was the last OF
the list, and the thirty lsshos put upon his bscl

The subject of church music wae discussed at
the recent meeting of the Protestant Episcopal
Congress in Philadelphia 1t was remarked !:
BY music you can reach the working Glasses.
Many Of the religious gatherings attributed their
success to church music. Singing was yet one
Of the undeveloped powers of the church. Arts
tic music reaches the heart of the wornhipper,
and draws his soul nearer to God. The choirs
had great influence on the souls Of converts !;
cultivated people had been converted by the aid
OF sweet church music. To the power Of music
men feel repentance.
Another speaker referred to artistic music,
rendered with unfealing finish, ~ unfit for the
temple Of God He denounced the idea Of
church hymns being set to operate airs. To
have good choir the members should be con-
verts OF the church, and their hymns should be
uttered In language that was intelligible to tile
congregation.
Anew York Clergyman said, that in the large
cities the people were ambitious to build tine
church, not for Almighty God, but because they
the edifice fiue In appearance. Tho front must
be built Of brown stone for the wealthy to lool
upon, while the back is built of brick, for the
residents Of the back street and God TO lool
upon. When the church il completed fne or.
gan is placed therein and an expensive choir II
engaged, after which the whole is beantified b,
an enormous mortgage. The singers are pAit
high salaries, not for the purpose Of converting
sinners, but to bring ins people to tbs ohurcl
and to help rent the pews. In one OF these
fashionable churches in New York city th'
choir alone cost 313, 500 per Annum. In one o
these churches one man pays annually &S, 600 |
year for pew, this heavy tax being necessar
| to pay for the music.

Correspondence of the Commercial
MIDpLETowN, Nov. IS.
Itseems that satisfactory settlement with
Messrs. Peter Wright Sons, agents Of the
American Steamship Co., cannot be effected by
in the shipment to Liverpool by the steamer
Ohio. Samuel Townsend, ESD, IL persistent in
his efforts to make the agents pay back freight
money, and he is more no because he was com
mitttee who secured the compartment In said
steamer.
After all other means had failed to accom-
plish the object, Mr.. Townsend concluded to
resort to arbitration. and wrote to tho President
Of the Company proposing 8. n FELTON,, Esq, -
referee. before whom all the correspondence
oision to be final Mr.. FELTON, is director of
the Penns, lvaniA r r., and President Of the
Delaware r. R f, in which last office he has be-
come very extensively acquainted with most Of
the large growers on the Peninsula and he was
named because he was indirectly interested in
both peach growers and the Steamship Co.
Mr.. @. A. Grisoom, President Of the g. s.
