From our Special Correspondent
Dover, March 2S-Ths Orphans court
and the court of Ghancsry, met here to-day.
The Chancellor being indisposed to such an
extent, no chancery business was transact
ed. Hon. John W. Houston, judge of the
Orphans court, presided. Beside tho ap-
pointments Of guardians, passing accounts
&c., the ordinary routine of business,
nothing else was transacted. There are
number Of persons in town attending court,
which makes things little more lively.
Business is generally dull all over town,
and is likely to be 30 until spring fairly
opens.
Itemizing just now is extremely hard
work and the dispairing Bohemian can only
live on hope. The number of gunners who
go out daily In search Of snipe, ducks and
other waterafowel, are great source Of
comfort and reliance. A firm belief that
some of them will furnish frst-class &C.
cident item, by getting head or an arm
or leg blown of, is all that could keep
the spirits of a really interested news-get-
ter from sinking into utter despondency
in this at present preternaturally dull
place. In regard to the game In pursuit of
which these hunters 60, it IL said to be
moderately plentiful, and that good sport
is usually found. However this may be,
the sport is kept up with uncsasing energy
and spirit.

Off tho Track.

About two O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
as the shifting engine was taking couple
Of freight cars out to the Delaware juno
tion, they jumped the track at the crossing
near the foot Of Lombard street, and the
engineer net knowing of the mishap, did
not stop the locomotive, until he had gone
nearly to Poplar street, and one of the cars
had sunken into the ground nearly up to
the axle of the wheels. Men were soon at
work clearing away the track, and after
some exertions the cars were again put in
place. One Of the cars was 80 badly DAM
aged, that repairs will be neces-
sary before 1t can be used. The switch at
the foot of Lombard street, was struck by
the cars, and utterly demolished.

J. H. Thompson had occasion to 60 up
stairs to superintend some domestic affairs,
and while absent some one. who has no fea,
of the law, walked in and purloined sugar
cured ham from the table.
Some time ago number Of chickens
were stolen from the same premises. They
will now, suppose, have ham and eggs at
Mr.. Thompson's expense.

A party Of young men wishing to play a

country and on their way home they over

asked him if he would have ride. He at
once accepted the kind offer, and when
near town they got to fooling with him and
slipped the cuffs on his wrist. Driving past
Sans house they called to him saying "we
have one of them-come down town
and get him." And sure enough there he
was in the wagon, with the handouts on
him. Sam shouted to his wife, "Clara-

he told his wife if she could not find his
hat that her bonnet would do. Anyway,
he came down the street running his level

UNITARLaNILM.
Its GrosCth In thts CITY.

In the first Unitarian Church, Wes
street above Eighth, last evening an inter.
esting meeting was held by the members
The object of 1t was to take proper actor
in respect to the memory of the late Chas
P. Bent, and also to give any who wished
to become members of the society an op-
portunity for so doing. The pastor, Rev.
F. Israel, after offering an appropriate
prayer, stated the object of the gathering,
and during his remarks alluded in touch
ing manner to Mr.. Bent He said that ten
years ago, when the subject of starting a
Unitarian Church in this city, was
first mentioned, Charles Bent was the first
member, and on the oath of June, 1865,
was baptised. After that, other men,
among whom were Edmund Seward, Lea
Pursey, Thos. Y. De Normandie and many
ladies, announced their-willingness to be-
come members. The meetings were first
held in Institute Hall, and at tnat time
were attended by about twenty members.
Since then the association has grown
rapidly in numbers and wcalth. It has
been enabled to erect neat little house OF
worship, to which now quite large con-
gregatioDs gather on the Sabbath.
Mr.. Israel, last evening, stated that to be-
come member Of the Association, required
no formal confession to any creed or state
ment about christianity; but thatth whole
object of the Society was to benefit the
spiritual and moral condition of its mem
bsrs; to lead them to higher and purer
light; to give them that brotherly love and
fellowship that man should feel for man;
and to teach and practice toward all, true
neutrality-suspicious. Of theological
belief.
Mr.. Israel further alluded to the growth
of the Unitarian movement in other cities,
and said that there was church in Balti-
more, one in Warrington, one in Charles
town, and one ia New Orleans. In the
Northern States the Unitarian Church 10
the leading one. W. E. Charming Of Bos-
ton was the christian founder Of this move
ment, and wrote extensively upon the sub
ject.
Mr.. Israel concluded with few remarks
upon communion and baptism, in which he
said 1t was optional with the members
whether they should take communion; but
to him 1t was source Of pleasure, and
he would recommend it as q reminder of
the life of Jesus Christ, and indeed of all
things good and pure and true. Of bap-
tism, he said that in most Of the Unitarian
it was customary to have bap
tismal font, but the rites of baptism were
not now administered only to these who SO
desired it; yet still in the North many per-
sons have their children baptised, and there
Easter-day is called the Children's Day, and
on that occasion many have the rites of
aptism administered.
An invitation was then given to any who
wished to unite with the Association In its
gatherings by becoming members.
After some further business the meeting ad-
iOurned.

rejected an offer of 60 week which
was made to him. He determined to
proceed to the university and become
a ''coach''a if he succeeded as well as
