BISHOP HOLLY AT TRINITY CHURCH. Bishop
Holly, OF Hayti, delivered an address to fair
sized audience at Trinity chapel last evening,
in behalf of the mission cause in that island
Bishop Lee introduced the speaker, who is an
American African of culture aud thoroughly
alive to his work. In his address the Bishop
spoke of the history Of the people at Hayti, set
forth their ignorant and superstitious condition
when he went out there, and said that although
the French Priests had been in the island for
many years, they were doing nothing to destroy
the superstitions of the people. The Youdou
rites, he said are still performed there among
q population of 100000 souls. The mission
work was fully and clearly stated, and the need
of Collegiate Institute and Normal School. for
which the Bishop is especially sesking aid, was
dwelt upon at length.
DR.. Frost read the Bishops appeal for help
for this institution, saying that $4,000. will be
required annually for five years to secure its es-
tablishment.

bad one. Ward ia charged with manifesting
great indifference in the prosecution Of this

The kent COUNTY Doc TAx.--It seems now
that the dog tax for this county ls not to be az
sessed. Assessor Smith, Of this town, informs
us that the Levy Court, at its last session, two
weeks ago, instructed the Assessors not to make
the assessment, for the reason that the law il
unpopular, particularly in the lower part of the
county Assessor Smith has sought legal ad-
vice in the matter and will be governed accord
ingly he informs us. So will the Assessors OF
Kenton and Little Creek Hundreds. Tho .un-
derstanding, however, among the Assessors
generally is that tho tax viii not be levied they
feeling themselves bound more by the political
gerrymandering of the Levy Court than by the
strict letter Of the law.
The Assessors are required to make out list
of names of the owners OF all dogs in the coun-
ty by january lst, and then post tho list up in
five public places in each Hundred and make a
