One of the spiciest, newsiest and most
sprightly exchanges, of the many hundred
which reach this office, is the Wilmington
(Del. MORNING HERALD. 1t is model
of condensation, and as full of energy as an
egg is of meat. The O'Byrne Brothers,
whose property the HERALD is, have ac-
complished great success, and the paper
has yet to celebrate its first anniversary.
The HERALD flies the name Of Thomas
Francis Bayard at its masthead for Presi-
dent, subject to the decision of the st. Louis
Convention. The selection of Mr.. Bayard
as the Democratic standard bearer would
prove to be one Of sound wisdom and good
judgment.

SUED FOR PERJURY.
White Clay Creek Farmers Fi,sale-A
Craze Charge Before Esq. Ha1any.

White Gay Creek Farmers F1stGle-A
Grave Charge Before Esq., Hasanv.
Esquire Hagany, on Saturday, was en-
gagged in the charge Of perjury, preferred
by George Carter, Esq, of White Clay
Creek Hundred, against Dennis Nolan, the
facts of the case being as follows:
The farms of the men, accuser and de-
fendant, are situated in White Clay Creek
Hundred, between Newark and Cooche's
bridge, being separated only by small
ditch. There has been some trouble about
q quantity of stones which were thrown in
this ditch, last fall, and Mr.. Nolan went
before Esquire Wire, of Christiana, and
swore that Carter had, on the 5th day of
January, piled the stones into the ditch.
Mr.. Garter on Saturday brought suit for
perjury against Nolan. charging that he
had wilfully and knowingly perverted the
truth on his oath, and had by SO doing
committed perjury. ,a- tfe.,
Witnesses for defence and prosecution
were examined, young lady, the daughter
Of Mr.. Carter, testifying that on the 9th of
December, the two men were engaged In an
angry quarrel, about the throwing Of the
stones in the ditch, aud her testimony was
sustained by another witness, who knew
that the date of the quarrel was the 9th of
December, as he had received an Invitation
and attended party at the young ladies
house on that day. ,..... ~ cIT
Esquire Frazer did not think that this
asking was sufficient to sustain so grave
charge as the one preferred, the only at
tempt of the prosecution having been to
prove that the defendant had not sworn
properly as to date, as the filing up Of the
ditch happened before the 9th Of December,
1875, consequently before 5th of January,
1875, which was the date Mr.. Carter had
swore to before the magistrate of Chris
tiana, and the case as dismissed. ,al,,

Easter Services.

Yesterday was celebrated the grandest
festival of the year, that of Easter. 1t diff
fars so essentially from the gloomy injunc-
tions prescribed by the observance of Lent,
that, it is like the glory Of 4 bright reward
coming after an ordeal Of trial. It is the
commemoration of Our Lords resurrection
from tho tomb, and has place IN the heart
of all Christian believing people. Yester-
day the whole Christian world rejoiced that
Christ is risen from the tomb, that mans
REDEMPTION is accomplished and that the
hope inspired by the prophets is fulfilled. In
nearly all the Protestant churches, yester-
day, this was made the subject of discus
sion, but in the Episcopal and Catholic
churches the most joyous ceremonies which
their respective liturgies permit were put ip
use at the services. In the Catholic
churches the festival was celebrated with
more than usual pomp and grandeur; high
mass was attended with special magnif-
cence. There is no festival in the year eel
ebrated by the Church when there is 80
much latitude given to joyous display. The
sanctuaries were all decorated with un-
usual care and profuseness. The altars
were lighted to Q brilliancy that brought
them out in bold magnidcence to the eye;
every niche had its flowers, and every cor
ner it's ornament to tell of the offer
ings of the Church to the, resurrection Of
the Son of God from the tomb. The ehoirs
were all REINFORCED, especially for the
Grand Masses, the choicest works of CON-
posers having been chosen, and the best
vocal talent added to the ordidary singers.
The HERALD, on Saturday, gave the order
of exercises in the principal Catholic and
Episcopal churches, which was pretty much
the same as that observed In all the Episco.
pal and Catholic churches in the city, yes

MARKET STREET SATURDAY NIGHT.
Saturday night appears to be everybody g
holiday. 1t is the time when the weeks
work ia all summed up in general relaxa-
tion. Market street upon that particular
night gives better illustration of this than
can DC obtained anywhere else. Last Sat-
urday night it was peculiarly interesting in
the different phases 1t presented, in the sin
gular commingling of pleasure and traffic.
At the corne. of Market and Fourth streets
two peddlers proclaimed their wares, in
tunes pitched in different keys. The shoot

Young Mems Christian Association claimed
the attention of many, the Institute as usual

THE MEDICINE THAT CURES
v E G { T IN E

Taking into consideration the charac-
ter of its vouchers, the history of its
cures and the immense increasing de-
mand, VEGETINE may be fairly entitled
the leading medicine of the age.
For scrofuia in the blood, VEGETINE
is an infallible remedy, and no person
need suffer from tumors, ulcers, and all
diseases arising from impure blood, If
VEGErINE is used according to direc-
tions. There is not case of scrofula in
existence that VEGETINE will not cure,
provided, however the vital functions
have not lost their power of action,
all that may be said to the contrary not
withstanding.
VEGErINE is pleasant to the taste,
mild in its influence, and absolute in its
action on disease, as the following un-
questionable evidence will show.
Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1876-10-26

1t is perfectly harmless from any bad eff

TIE friends of our late beloved pas
tor, Bro. BATTELLE, will no doubt be
much gratified to learn of the kind and
generous reception that he was met with
ut Logan, his new field Of labor. He
was met at the depot by friends, with
an omnibus, and conveyed to good quar-
ters, and In few evenings had the
pleasure of meeting large number of
his members at the parsonage, who SUP
piled them with large quantity of all
kinds of provisions, sufficient to last
them some length of time. They are
much pleased with all the surroundings
of their new home. There was much
sadness of heart felt here by many at
parting with Brother BArTELLE, and We
were truly rejoieed to learn that he had
been so fortunate as to have his lot cast
anonga people who show by such acts
such spirit of christian generosity, for
Gods grace in the heart strips us of sell
fishness and penuriousness, and renders
such opportunities not only duty. but
privilege. They will find Bro. Bat
TELLE a faithful watchman on the walls
of Zion-ever pointing to the straight
and narrow way that leads to heaven
of eternal rest.
