accompanied by Detective Kershaw, OF
Chester, Pa, started from Elkt on fow
days ago, i'll search of horse which had
been stolen from l.. q Gerbart, of Phiadel

crowd Of roughs, who evidently intend.
ed to recapture the horse and next morn.

two men in buggy, but were not inter.

Tho Visit 20 Chester.

The Chester Times says:-An unusual
thing happened on Tuesday in chester.
So unusual, indeed, as to have happened
then for the first time in our history. We
refer, of course, to The visit of a large
delegation from the Wilmington Board of
Education TO our public schools. Some
weeks since our School Board visited the
scools of Wilmington, and Tuesdays
was, we suppose, a return of this visit.
We need hardly express our hearty APP
proval of a practice thus inaugurated.
An honest comparison of what others are
doing in the same line with ourselves,
can hardly ever fail 10 be of service. Our
Board frankly acknowledge that they
gathered some valuable hints from their
visit, and although our schools are neces-
sarily on a much smaller scale than our
sister city, we hope that the gentlemen
who were with US on Tuesday may find
their visit not altogether without reward.
The impression which our visitors made
was in the highest degree favorable--ev-
idently intelligent gentlemen and deeply
interested in the cause of education.
They spent the whole day in All industri-
GUS inspection of our schools. We con-
gratulate Wilmington upon the make up
of her School Board.

N. Y. Herald Special.
RICHMOND. March M.-The agitation
prevailing among the colored populati on
of this city over the theory that the sun
moves and the earth stands still, so firm.
ly established in the minds of his con-
gregation by the Rev. John Jasper, cul.
minated tonight in the delivery of a ser
mon by the Rev. Daniel Draper, colored
ofthe Methodist church, who took is
sue with his Baptist brother in favor of
he Copernican system and other estab-
lished secular theories. The church was
densely packed. In the course of his
sermon,. which displayed much scientific
and biblical research, the preacher ex-
planned the real meaning of the scriptur-
al authorities upen which the Rev. Jas
per based his assumption that the sun
moves. He was attentively listened to,
and perhaps there were many intelligent
colored persons present who were CON
Vlnced by his arguments. One vener-
able colored citizen remarked In nv
nearing, "Dat mans talk is all very good
but he amt sticking to de Bible" The
sermon occupied over two hours in its
delivery, and the interest never tagged.
The Rev. Jasper will next preach in the
open air in vindication of his position
the sun moves, when perhaps he will be
met by Others in opposition. The ex-
citement among the colored population
is on the increase.
