The Riverview Dramatic Association,
consisting of ladies and gentlemen, of
this neighborhood, gave their third enter
tainment at the residence of Mr.. Alfred
Wetherill, on Monday evening last. AL
though the entertainment had been once
postponed, a fair audience was present, and
gave unmistakeable evidence of their APP
probation of the acting. We will attempt
no criticism of the different players, but
will candidly say that they one and all,
satisfied the expectations of the most san
guine of their friends. The plays were
farces, the first entitled More Bunders
than One;" the second, "One two Many
for Him." After the plays were concluded,
short dance wound up the evenings en-
tertainment to the satisfaction of all.

Extract from Pastoral Letter of the
Bishop of EastOn.

l. Be very careful to remember that all
mortal men are subject to many sudden
pelils, diseases and scknesses, and ever
uncertain what time they shall depart out
of this life.
2. To the intent that we may always be
in readiness to die, whatsoever it shall
please Almighty God to call us, we must
often receive the Holy Communion Of the
Body and Blood of our Saviour Christ.
3. Moreover, every just man should be
careful while he is in health, to make his
Will, and to declare his Debts, what he
oweth, and what is owing unto him, for
the better discharging of his conscience
and the quietness of his executors. Such
persons as are of ability should be liberal
to the poor.
MIR. EDIToR:-The Pastoral from which
the above extract is taken was addressed
primarily, of course to the members of
the Bishops own communion within his
Diocese. But it contains admonitions of
such general application as induces me to
propose them to you for wider publication
invite special attention to the third para
agraph. IL. A. S.

LAYING THE CORNER STONE OF THE New
BETHEL AND SUMMIT CHUKCH.-The cor
ner stone of the new Methodist church at
Summit Bridge was laid on Friday, the 4th
instant. Bishop Scott assisted at the cere-
mony, and many prominent ministers were
present. Rev. ]. H. Caldwell, of Dover
delivered the address. The church, which
is frame, will be thirty-one by forty feet,
and eighty feet to the top of the steeple,
and is purely gothic in style. 1t will cost,
when completed, about $4,000, and will
probably be furnished with seats similar
in build but much handsomer in design to
the Stat seats so frequently seen in our rail
way stations. The church is now nearly
completed, the formal laying of the corner
stone having been postponed for reasons.

THE NEWARK YACHT CLUB.-A CORE
spondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing
from Annapolis, says in that paper of Tues
day: "The yacht Dauntless, Captain Gun
bingham, from Newark, Del, with the
Newark yacht club on board, numbering
about half dozen, arrived in the harbor
on Saturday afternoon. They have been
visiting interesting places in the South"
The Dauntless is an open boat, twenty feet
long, and was formerly the Jaco5 Clay.
1t was purchased about a month ago by
the Newark club from Mr.. Solomon Clay,
of this town. They started on their trip
two weeks ago from White Hail." the

BEwITCHED.-A little colored boy by the
name of Taylor, seven or eight years old,
grandson of Frisby Evans, of this town,
died on Saturday night, as is alleged by his
friends, from the effects of a spell or charm
put upon him by a neighbor, woman who
is supposed to hold a grudge against the
boys mother. The grandfather says that
she induced the boy to drink charmed
mixture, and from the time he drank it he
began to fail, until he finally, as above
stated, died. 80.

ACCIDENTALLY SHoT.-Paul Bland, col
ored man living short distance from town,
on the Delaware line, met with an accident,
on Tuesday last, the result of careless
handling of firearms. He was standing
with his hand upon the muzzle of his gun,
which was loaded and cooked, when it by
some means or other was discharged, the
load passing through the center of his
hand. DR.. Ellis was sent for and dressed
the wound. The shot cut a clean round
hole. half an inch in diameter, through
the hand. The doctor thinks he can not
only save the hand, but that after the
wound is healed he will have full use of it.

A SLAP IN THE DARK.-Qnite an anus
ing little incident occurred on Main street,
the other evening. As a lady we'll known
in town society was passing down the
street, in the dusk of the evening, she met
another lady, whom she mistook for an
intimate friend of hers. AS she had fire.
quently done before, she playfully tapped
her on the cheek as she passed her. To
her amazement, the supposed intimate
friend became greatly alarmed and took to
flight, not stopping until she reached a
friends house. when she breathlessly told
them that she had been attacked and chased
by crazy woman. Inquiry being made,
the mistake was discovered, amends made,
and all once more became serene.

SENATOR BoUTwELL's late report on the
last Mississippi State election is thor
oughly partisan document, got up for
electioneering purposes, The character
of the testimony taken by the committee
of which Mr.. Boutwell, was chairman,
may be known by the statement Of Sen
ator Bayard, in his minority report, He
says;
Every rule which the experience of
mankind has established as essential for
the regulation of evidence and the ascer-
tainment of truth has been disregarded
in the course of this investigation. So
that the great bulk of the testimony that
has been taken is such as would not be
taken in any court of justice in the Coun-
try to convict the meanest felOn of the
pettest ofense. Every rule of evidence
followed by courts in the administration
of justice has been entirely disregarded.
Every rule which experience has shown
as essential for the elucidation of truth
has been thrown aside, and opinion, hear
say, wild rumor, anything and all things
which excitement, prejudice, hate, love
or fear can suggest, have been poured in
without discrimination or check"
Mr.. Bayard cross examined one of
their witnesses as follows; Did you ever
take an oath before? Answer, No sir
O. Do you know the meaning of taking
an oath? A. No, sir.
Q, Doyou know what the consequent
ces are of swearing falsely? A. No, sir.
Senator Boutwell, did not allude to the
case OF Cardozo, a colored citizen, and
eX-Superintendent of Public Instruction
for Mississippi Cardozo did not appear
before the committee, perhaps because
he is now absent from the State, under
indictment for forgery and other crimes
CardOzo's trial vas set to come on dur
ing the session Of the committee, but he
failed to answer to his name when called
and his heavy bond, his securities being
prominent Republicans of Mississippi,
was declared forfeited. This case of the
Intimidation of a colored voter" is not
included among Senator BoutwelPs rea-
sons for abolishing the independence of
Mississippi.
Recent disclosures at Memphis show
that the negro witness some years ago
who swore she was ravished by white
men near score oftimes during the ri
OTIS, was negro manin woman's clothes
Mr.. Washburne's report made great
howl over this outrage at the time. 1t
has also been discovered that Deputy U.
S. Marshall Perrin, of Alabama, shot his
own coat full of bullet holes in order to
prove his narrow escape from Democratic
assassins. These and other exposures
show the reliability to be placed upon
the Outrage" mill of Boutwell, and other
unprincipled radical leaders.

THE CAMPAIGN

Is opening with violence and mean bit
terness on the part of the radical leaders
that indicates alarm. Senator Morton's
speech at indianapolis is full oflalsehood
and malignity only worthy this embodi-
ment Of hate and baseness, Our Senator
Sherman is perhaps not whit behind in
his late speech at Marietta,
A Mr., Perry, OF Cincinnati, opened
the ball in Canton the other evening,
and his poor effort was in the same IN
famous direction. The harangues atthe
radical Congressional convention at Alll-
ance on Tuesday were also in the same
line of vituperation. We had hoped to
meet argument and reason this campaign,
but it seems we are to be doomed to dis
pointment. The same old leaders are
trotted out to conduct the Hayes cam.
paign. "Bloodletting" Chandler is chair
man of their National committee, and
diseased and morally debased Morton
sounds the keynote to revive the worst
passions of mankind.
These architects of ruin seek to cover
up their own deeds and the results Of
their policy by the basest appeals. 1t is
comfortable to know, however, that the
people are not disposed this year to swal-
low the same dose they have been cram
med with for years past. The condition
of things is different Labor is scarce
and wages low. Thousands are out Of
employment, and suffering therefrom,-
Silent, Independent voting will be done
this year. as we opine, to the astonish-
ment of these men. The result of the
elections in Kentucky and Alabama last
week are indicative, and alarming to the
Grant, Hayes leaders, and hence the
venom of their speeches. From the
abundance of the heart the mouth speak

The People favor Reform-a change is
demanded, and Tilden is the coming man.
His letter of acceptance is document
worthy of the man and the occasion, and
is having powerful effect all over the
country, convincing men of thought that
the st. Louis convention did its work
nobly and well, and selected the right
men in Tilden and Hendricks.

IAJoR WIN. MCKINLEY, was nominated

MAJOR WIN. MCKINLEY, was nominated
at Alliance on Tuesday, as the Republi-
can Hayes and Wheeler candidate for
Congress in this district. The nomina-
ton was made by aCclamation, Mr..
Woodwork having been withdrawn as
candidate, as was Mr.. Hartzell The
maneuvering leaders in the Convention
feared to pass Mr.. Campbell's resolution
in favor of restoring silver as legal-ten-
der with gold, as the United States Con-
stitution requires. Some three years ago
a Republican Congress demonetized sill
yer in the interest of the bond holders,
doubtless, and the party dare not take
ground to restore the old silver dollar.
Silver now is less valuable than green
backs, and of course the bonds are pay
able in gold only. So we go-and yet
the Republican party is beautiful and
altogether lovely; and the leaders should
be allowed to revel and riot in power
right along. We know not where Mr..
Mckinley stands on the silver question.
It's important. ia.

The Washington Sentinel, Louis
Schade editor: Last Friday morning
We were the involuntary listener to the
following dialogue in the,F street cars,
between the Radical Congressman Eu-
gene Hale, Of Maine, the son-in-law Of
Zach Chandler, and William P. Frye, Of
the same State, said gentlemen sitting
opposite each other in the car:
Frye-We ought to have bought Sigel
first, before we got Schurz. ...
Hale-We could not do it,
Frye responded something like that
they ought to have tried, the exact words
we could not hear"
And this is the mighty and immacu-
late Carl Schurz Can such things be?

''the administration of any President
will be in the main whatthe party which
elected him makes it. Ifhe breaks away
from his party the chances are that he
will be broken down. In government
of parties like ours the President must
have his choice of officers. The men to
whom he owes his election, who have
defended him from assaults, to whom he
must look for support in the future, will
ordinarily control his action, and he will
do nothing offensive to them" Just SO,

endorsing the St.. Louis platform, and
calling for the passage of the silver dollar
bill. Gen. Ewing will be elected, of
course, as the district is largely Demo-

be credit to the State.
