SOME NOTES OF LAST YEAR.
The Fair Of ~, which opened Sept. 2sd,
wss largely attended from every part OF
the Peninsula, the exhibit of farm produce
was good, the racing was pronounced ex-
cellentat the time. Being the first year
and the formal opening, Hon. Thomas F.
Bayard gave the initial address. The
quickest time made by trotter was that of
Perkins Morrell," New Jersey horse !;
the premium Of $40 being awarded to his
owner. MOdoc," who is to figure this
year, gained the award Of $40 in class "a !;
= Andy johnson" }" and Keystone Patcher," !"

/ ,rJ PEBBLES FROM THE TURF. n
Z" Dp you think you will 60 beyond last
year - inquired the HERALD reporter of a
prominent member of the Association.
No doubt of IT,, he replied, mot the
least the number Of entries made at
present would indicate as much.
"As for the racing," sale I,
INV w tOu-r-- D.. AS lOE'tuc FAClNE, my
dear sir, it will be unusually spirited; we
have the finest trotters on the Peninsula
booked; while, if you will take the trouble
to look at the schedule, You will find that
horses from abroad make a formidable
slowing" 'h 'o9 o. 'i""b -'t
Reductions in the fare have been made by
the several railroads on the Peninsula, so
that the attendance which would have been
very large, under any circumstances, now
bids fair to be immense. Fears are enter
tanned that the crowds cannot be accommo-
dated with bedding; as for food, the ::restau-
rants, hotels and private houses will allow
no one to drift off mad and dry both. Per-
sons in this city wishing to spend all day at
the fair, can leave here on the five O'Clock
freight with passenger car attached and, re-
turn on the up train which goes out from
the Middletown depot at O'Clock p. M.
During the exhibition, THE HERALD will
furnish it's readers with full and accurate |
reports Of the proceedings.

THE CITY BY THE R1vER-soME OF ITS
INSTITUTIONS.
CITY OF NEW CASTLE, Oct. 4.
In compliance with your request here
with have the pleasure of sending you this,
the first of series of correspondence, as
circumstances permit, from this city. There
now-that last word will cause some of
your Wilmingtonians to smile, perhaps
audibly-but they would do we'll to restrain
their mirth, if so inclined, at the idea of
this hitherto sleepy old town being called a
city till they have read further. Well, then,
in the language of the novelist, this city is
beautifully situated on the banks of the
noble Delaware, and has lately awakened
from its Rip Van Winkle sleep of more than
twenty years though, and made the import
ant discovery that it is in just the spot to
enable it to be- somebody of consequence
some day if it has mind to. For the past
half century it has been content with its
humble position of County Seat, the centre
of justice for this county, containing the
Courthouse, county offices and jail, but
some two or three years ago some of its
more enterprising citizens, knowing the ad-
vantage possessed by New Castle for a
manufacturing town, induced the Tasker
Co. to establish a branch Of their works
here, which has been done, and they now
have several large mills in operation but
more of these hereafter. This move of
course increased population, in some few
instances of not the most desirable kind.
This again made it necessary for the estab-
lishment of good municipal government.
Therefore at the last meeting of the Legis-
lature an act was passed converting the old
est, sleepiest and dullest town on the Della
ware, at one stroke, into city, with all the
machinery and prerogatives of any other
city, and it stands now equal in most res
poets to Wilmington. It has its Mayor,
City Council, City Assessor, City Treasur-
,r and police, and if that don't const itute
,ity should like to know what does. 1t
acks somewhat yet in population, but that
will come with time, and it is we'll enough
% be provided with good municipal gov
for their benefit when they do
'ome. At the time the charter was passed
! free school bill was also passed, giving
he children chance to get o good COM
non school education for little or nothing.
snt she city then MORE ANON.

THE KENNY CASE.

AN INTERESTING Observation-Disclosures
ON THE VERDICT.
The committee of investigation in the case
of Rev. f. T. Kenny (it is known completed
their arduous task) on Thursday, septem-
ber 9th, at Madison street NJ. E. Church.
Chester, to which place they had adjourned;
after hearing the testimony at Sloan NJ. f.
Church. They rendered the following de-
cision
1st, that the charge Of drunkenness is
sustained.
I'd, that the charge of immortality is sus-
tained
Five ofthe committee voted in tie afiirma-
tive, viz: Revs. j. Welch, Georgia Rakes-
trass, S. T. Ashton, A. L. Hood, George
Hurlock.
-Four of the committee in the negative,
viz: Rcvs. d. L. Patterson, Samuel Kurtz.
I. w. Maclary, and Robert Carson.
By the action of the committee. Mr..
Kenny was then suspended from all minis
terial services and church privileges until
the ensuing annual conference, at which his
case will be fully considered and determined.
The following expression concerning the
investigation comes from the members and
friends of Sloan NJ. E. Church. It isa,
paper signed by number Of those who were
permitted to be present at the trial. It
reads thus
"We, the undersigned, members of Sloan

the verdict of conviction found by major.
ity OF the committee, and against Mr..
Kenny, and his suspension, were
not in accordance with that provision
of the discipline of the NJ. E. Church which
requires that an accused preacher brought
to trial before committee shall be clearly
convicted before being suspended. We fur.
:her declare that in our Judgment the
specifications and charges presented we've
not sustained by the evidence; that the tes-
tlmoEy OF the prosecution was full of
glaring contradictions and wholly irrccon-
cilable that we feel ourselves and the
church aggrieved by the action of the COM
mittec. We further declare that we regard
Mr.. Kenny as entirely innocent of the
charges alleged against him and that
therefore, his conviction and suspension
we're unjust and that the church greatly
suffers IN consequence thereof We there
