the Suburbs.
The storm which hung around this
neighborhood nearly all of last week,
illuminated, yesterday, in a continuous

depth as is usual in case of heavy rain
In South Wilmington, the marsh on the
east side of the bridge is again flooded,
a break having occurred in the Christiana
bank near the Arctic Company's ice
house. On this marsh stands the house
of John Murray, COL, which is complete
| ly surrounded with water, as it was fol
| nearly two weeks after the storm of Sep
tember last.
| The Brandywine marhes are also flood
ed, bur not any serious extent.

Persons not used TO making address
&c should emulate President Grants 81
lence rather than risk the inevitabl,
embarrassment and probably breal
down. A California paper says;
A young gentleman Of more than
ordinary intelligence. but who is an
exceedingly bashful young fellow, con
cludcd to pay witt to a public school
not more than hundred miles from
Colusn. He was particularly partial
to the intermediate department Of the
institution, over which an accomplished
and bewitching young lady presided.
After the usual afternoon exercises,
the progressing prcceptress asked her
pupils IL they would not like to hear a
few remarks from Mr.. -, and the
unsnimity with which the little folks
answered "yesl' made it equally as
embarrassing for our hero to attempt
to decline as to attempt a speech. and
he arose and opened with the following
exordium:
81 love 10 note such an advance
ment as you are making. And know
YOU love your teacher, do you rot /
do! And-that is, mean loved my
teacher when ! was little boy"
Atter this declaration laughter pre-.
vailed among the students, while the
speaker was nervously handling an
ink bottle on the desk by which he
was standing. Afier the cheering
subsidized. he again proceeded, still
fumbIiug with the ink bottle:
81 have often seen boys and girls act
the fool. hut"
At this juncture he tipped the ink
over, which went streaming down the
desk, and he Immediately hauled out
his snow-white handkerchief, wiped il
up, and then placed it back in the
pocket from which he took it. In the
meantime the scholars were Cycling,
while the schoolma'm shook her head
at them-as much as to say that she
would settle with them in the morning
for their bad demcnnor. He then con-
tinued:
GAS | was about to remark, when
was young, I-I-well-"
He became confused. The perspi- |
ration began running down his bur-
ming cheeks, and, while he was en-
to think Of something more
to say. he drew forth his handkerchief,
with which he had rid the desk of the
split ink, gave it wipe across his
brow. and then down each cheek.
Happening to discover what he had
lone, and coming to a realizing sense
Of his situate N, he grabbed his hat, and
went out OF the school room like shot
out of a gun, without even bidding
the charming young school mistress a
fond farewell.

SaIerSes or Preachers.

another case the pastor, who was to
get 5000, generously donated the
