was made last week to the possible
candidacy Of Mr.. Jesse James for the
Republican nomination as County
Auditor. and we publish herewith a
card stating positively the intention
of his friends to present his name to
convention in that connection. Mr..
CAROLS intention to seek that office
at the hands Of the Republican party
il also indirectly confirmed. The
name Of y. ID. Gano, well known
and staunch Republican Of Inland
township, we are informed, is being
brought forward As an opponent to
Mr.. Scott for the legislative nomina-
ton. The time when all the issues
are to be decided Is now near vi hand.
A fair field, fair play, and the preva-
lence of the best and most prudent
nominations, Is all that Is to be desired.

NoS-PoLrrIcAL.-A correspondent
sends -us resolutions regarding the
County Superintendency, with an ac-
count of their adoption by the teach
ers In attendance at the Institute. Re-
ally, It would be q good thing II school
officers could be selected without
special reference to party lines and
distinctions, and this seems to have
been the idea of the teachers in thus
recommending, or requesting the
nomination of Miss Frink by both
county Conventions. Opinion Is sub
stantially unanimous OH all sides In
favor Of her capability and valuable
services. Why not, then, apply the
apothegm regarding discovering poll
tics and education In this instance?

NIGHT WATCH.--At the meeting of
the City Council last week Thursday
evening, the ranks Of the would.b be
night Watches were scattered by the
appointment to that position of Mr..
VIM. l.. Russell. The appointee is a
young man who formerly lived here
but recently returned from the West
impoverished by the unequal struggle
with the grasshoppers. Since the du-
ties of a peace officer have been added
to those of Il Waterman, the position
is no sinecure, aud We hope that in
Mr.. Russell the council have secured
discretion united to nerve and firm
ness. The salary was fixed at $40,
and the watch hired by the month,
instead of yearly, as formerly.

Miss FANNY HoLLlsTER. -The few
of our citizens who joined with the
teachers in attending a public Read
ing given by this young lady at Con-
gregational church, Tuesday evening,
have the managers of the Institute to
thank for rare treat Miss HOLSTER
Is from Chicago, and although for
some time under the tuition of Prof.
Lyman aud other leading elocution-
lists, is only commencing public APP
pearances. She spent Monday and
Tuesday at the Institute, and on the
latter evening gave public entertain
ment to good audience as Indicated.
Miss II. is young, handsome and
graceful. and what is of still more inn
portance in her profession, she Is an
artist. Depending less upon mimicry.
or dialetic imitation, than most pub
lie readers, she follows, with intelli-
gent comprehension of her theme, the
principles Of true art in the use Of
voice, gesture and expression. The re-
suit is success, not only with one class
Of readings or recitations, but through
u wide range Of selections. The reei-
tation of the tragic poem, Searching
for the Slain" was the hardest test to
which she put herself. and was well
sustained, a. the tears of the audience
attested. The rendering Of Rock of
Ages, introducing this familiar hymn
us sung in various moods, from that Of
the thoughtless girl to prayerful plead
ing, every note stirred with sorrow,
was new, and a. rendered, most
praisworthy feature of such All enter
tainment. 1.-THE Shadow OH the Wall"
q poetical gem, was set la BETTING
voice and expression. t.The Spanish
DUEL introducing another song, was
well received; and the single declam-
atory, and several humorous selections
gwen not only added agreeable yari-
ETY., but showed great versatility. In
her songs, Miss H. develops sweet
voice, under perfect control, and the
organ accompaniment by Miss Fanny
Hogan, was in keeping. Miss Hogan
also gave an instrumental, and Mrs.
Currie, of Lyons song. which were
received with appreciation.

The Institute IL running as steadily
rs a college In mid-term--solid work
seems the programme on all hands.
Thursday evening, however, the
membership assembled at the Court
House to hear a lecture from Prof.
Boltwood, of Illinois. The remain
ing room was filled with citizens, and
all unite in pronouncing the lecture
so practical, as well as entertaining,
that both teachers and patrons Of
schools, who did not hear 1t, were
losers.
LEcTpRE..By invitation, Capt s.
A. Lee delivered lecturein the NJ. +.
church last Sunday afternoon upon
the subject Of the Ocean. The theme
was treated both with reference to the
material facts and phenomena regard
ing the great deep, and also to it's sug-
gestion Of and association with
thoughts of the Creator. Both In its
subject matter and in its construction
and arrangement, the lecture was an
excellent one. 1t was instructive, in
teresting aud suggestive.
On Monday evening, by invitation
Of the Institute, Captain Lee addressed
the teachers and others in the Court
House. He had u crowded house, and
held the attention Of all to thrilling
narrative Of the important a. well as
dramatic battle between the Merri-
mae aud the Mentor, off Hampton
Rhoads. The speaker participated in
that engagement, being at the time
an officer on the frigate Minnesota,
which 1t will be remembered received
the attention Of the Rebel ram after
the sinking Of the proud Cumberland
and the destruction Of the Congress,
and before the Monitor interviewed.
Capt. Lee was badly wounded In the
engagement in consequence of which
he IL still q cripple. He resigned the
navy IN "a, afterward commanding
transatlantic steamers for some years
and since teaching. He Is an OWL

II was q cold night In winter. The
wind blew, and the snow was whirled

One Of the most remarkable In
stances Of canine sagaoity we have
ever heard Of happened few weeks
ago in London. It is thus related in
the Times Of that city:
Yesterday afternoon three boys and
a little girl, named Minnie Jordan,
daughter Of a bricklayer living in
Great Andrews Street, Seven Dials,
were sitting upon the pArapet of the
Thames Embankment, between Wat.
erloo and Hungerford bridges, when
a sudden gust of wind blew one Of
the boys on 10 the pavement and the
little girl into the river. A cry for
help was raised, and q gentleman
who was passing slipped the collar
from his Newfoundland dog, lifted
the animal up and eoolly dropped him
into the water. The child at that
moment rose to the surface, and the
sagacious brute turned his head in
her direction, seized her by the col
lar Of her cape, and directed by his
master, swan with his little burden
to the adjacent stairs. The gentle
man called a cab, placed the child in
1t, and drove of to the Endell Street
Baths, whence the girl was taken
home little the worse for her INNER.
sion. The owner Of the dog refused
to give his name, but observed that
the dogs name was "Ready."

A WIZARD SUTWITTED.

At the hotel in Dover on Thursday
night, gentleman from Baltimore
was entertaining q crowd Of men
who had rather rural appearance
about them with what is known as
tricks in sleight-of-hand. The crowd
watched him with eagerness place sill
yer pieces in the palm Of his hand
and cause the same to disappear
without any apparent action on his
part. Glasses were emptied and fill
ed with water as though by spirits
hands, the clock swAyed TO and fro on
Its fastenings, and other feats equally
as remarkable were performed. Final
~, one OF the crowd, n man named
Potter, with his breeches tucked in
his boots, sidled up and asked for the
watch Of the man of tricks, for the
purpose Of showing him trick that
was worth two Of his own. The ar
ticle was handed over. He showed
IL into his trousers between the vast
band, and then told the Baltimore
gentleman that he could not and II,
and he was as good as his word, for
up to late hour yesterday afternoon
the watch, a fine gold hunting-case,
had not been found, although the
man was stripped five minutes after
the occurrence. Esquire Dickson
held the offender to bail 10 the sum
Of three hundred dollars, but It is
q mysery what has become Of the
watch, and more to the man who was
beaten at his own game than any
body else. : WILMINGTON del. Ereyy
