RehObOth Beach Association,

MEssxs. EDIroRs:-A special meeting
Of the stockholders Of the Rehob0th b
Beach camp meeting association of the
M. Il. church, is called on the 9Th day
Of January next, at Wilmington, to con
slider the propriety Of asking the Legis-
lature to amend the charter 80 a. to
make that portion Of Sec. lst., which
relates to the name and objects Of the
association, read as follows:
Under the name of the Rehoboth
Beach Association for the purpose of
providing andImaintaining christian
Sea- side resort, where everything in.
consistent with christian morality, as
taught by the M. &. church shall be
excluded and prohibited. As a stock
holder believe it would be largely to
the interest of the association if they
would strike out Of the lst. Sec. of the
Act, the words NJ. 4. church. 1t
would read, the RehobotC Beach camp
meeting Association for the purpose OF
providing and maintaining a perma-
nent camp meeting ground and chris
tian Seaside resort, where everything
inconsistent with christian morality
shall be excluded and prohibited.
We have a large number Of stock hold
ers who belong to different denomina.
tions, and are outside of the NJ. Il.
cEcrch. We can have camp meeting
ground, and sea side resort, where
people Of all denominations can resort
and enjoy themselves as best suits
their wishes. The Association has
erected large house upon the beach,
and spent a great deal Of money, and
where large,portion OF it has gone can
never be seen. The Surf House owned
by the Association, rents for $1,000 or
more per annuin and under the present
dicipline OF the NJ. 4. church, the lessee
Of that house as we'll as the others who
keep public entertainment for the
guests are prohibited from having many
OF the little amusements which are re-
CURED, and are necessary for the enjoy
ment OF their guests, and to maintain
a first class resort. would cheerfully
urge upon all stock holders who have
the interest of the RehobDth Beach
Association at heart, to attend that
meeting, and these who cannot attend,
II they would send their protests to
Mr.. VIM. Bright, with instruction to
vote for the change, think he would
attend to it for tnem, as he has more
interest in the futare welfare of the
association than most of the stock hold
ers, he having erected ono of the
largest and finest public houses on the
cost considerable money.
Come Brothers let us have a little
after we leave the Camp
ground; it is good for the Soul.

FIRST EDITION.
FELTON, CorrespOn d ence.

This little town has quietly and
pleasantly entered upou the usual fes-
.ivities Of Christmas. Some say there
is quite an improvement upon former
years.
A revival neeting, In the NJ. X.
Church, has been in progress for three
weeks, with encouraging results, and
this may have tended TO give a phase
Of seriousness to the minds Of the
people. About fifteen persons have pro.
isssed conversion.
On Christmas morning, at the ringing
Of the N. X. church bells, a number Of
persons assembled in the church, at 5
o'clock, and held religious meeting,
with singing and prayer interspersed
with remarks bearing on the subject OF
the Saviour's nativity.
There were three Christmas Sunday
school entertainments here on Christ.
mas night, one In each OF the churches,
all Of which were well attended. The
NJ. Il. church was crowded. The sew
sral parts were well performed, and
were very credltable to all connected
with them. There were two large
Christmas trees, heavily laden with
good things to be distributed. The pro
o'ss of stripping the trees, spread
light Of gladness over the faces Of the
little ones, and the joy of the young
made the tide Of good feeling to roll
through the crowd. At the close, the
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Pierson, made some
remarks, expressing approval Of the
several things in the evenings enter
Ainment, while the looks OF good hu.
NOR wer. manifest to all. A collection
having been taken for the sexton, the
ioxolocy and benediction closed what
might be called pleasant evening.

The Scott Revival.

During the revival az Scott NJ T..
church some thirty persons have sought
Christ at the altar Of prayer besides
those who have risen IN the cnngr"ga
tiOns for prayers. OF these mor" than
twenty have p:"trssel saving faith in
Christ. Not satisfied with what has
be-, done large numb'r Of christians
on Friday night obligated themselves To
pray for the conversion of tw-utv more
souls. All who have made prof-ssin'
50 far are grown persons, SOM of thm
husbands and wives. fathers and mott,
ers. That good has been done though
without ,nu,h noise we may believe
when n strong man said in the ChiIt
mas morning meeting: Last Christmas
morning went from NV house TO grt
y hottie Of rum, but II, " AN, here; md
he fairly w-pt as hetoli his new joyous
experience. Numbers who for years
have not offended church habiual y
have been happily saved. Let others
come to Christ.

NEWPORT, Dec. 9th, 1878.
MEssRs. EDIroRs: - Looking over
Christmas reports from the different
points (places) and noting the improve
ments over former customs OF celsbra'- =
ing this notable event, there seems to
BIZ no greater improvement than in this
place and Stanton, compared with for
mer years when drunkenness and riot
ing was the order. The 25th day Of
December 1878, instead Of being ushered
Ia with noise and tumult, there was
nought to bs heard to break the silence
Of the morning hour but the songs Of
Praise, and Thanksgiving ascending
from the hearts OF christians at the 5
o'clock experimenting at the NJ. r..
Church. The day thus ushered in wore
the same aspect throughout. No odrunk-
ness was to be seen on the streets or
elsewhere, so far as we could learn,
and in our neighboring village, STAN
ton, the religious revival started by
our good sister Roach, was continued,
although this estimable lady was not
present, having returned to her home
in Washington to recruit for her labor
at Newport in few days.
Mr.. Nunviller, in the employ of Mr..
Bradford near Newport met with ser-
Gus accident a few days ago. While
cutting feed for horses he got two of mis-
fingers SO badly lacrrated that one had
to be amputated which was done by Dr..
Booth on Christmas morning Mr,
Nunviller is now doing we'll.
Granville Cook, the man whose hand
wa' so terribly mangled by the dis,
charge of his gun, is doing well and
will have good hand. He is under

The Y. q. w. w. Hall.

Last evening the Yacht Club Water

a grand success. The march was led
off promptly at 10 o'clock by the Mas.

lowed by about twenty four couples
Prof. Ritchi. presided at the piano and
was assisted by Prof. Worth on the vi
oln. Tne dancing was kept up till an
early hour this morning. The only
draw back we noticed was the hprculean
efforts made by the gentlemen in their
vain endeavors to drcipher the pro-
grammes, which were the worst sp--
mems of the art preservative, it has ever
been our misfortune to stumble across.
Orthographically viewed the fact forced
itself upon our minds that the "ama-
teur," whose name was appended to

have lost some of the leaves out of his
primer when he attended school, and

ADA M 4 BROTHERS SET OUT.
The Esnploy eeesG che store Treated
to . Aumpta~ms Feast-Bstale Of
the Pencils and Yardsalcks.

According to usual custom Adams h
Bro. gave grand supper at their resi-
d.nce, TOT French street, last evening,
to all their clerks and employees in and
about their store. A few friends not
employees were also present. The sup
per was a grand one, there being roast
turkey In abundance, besides other
"6xins," apples, oranges md bananas.
The pyramid Of fruit in the centre Of
the table was most artistically arranged
and handsomely trimmed with Florida
moss. Messrs. Joseph X. and William
b. Adams, the brothers composing the
firm and their wives, were assiduous in
their attentions to their employees and
were determined that they should not
go away hungry. About thirty persons
took supper occupying the time pretty
much from u to 9 o'clock. After sup.
per some of tho party repaired to the
front parlor to ses the Christmas tree,
which is generally conceded to be the
prettiest single tree in the city. and the
prettiest the Adams Brothers have ever
had. The tree and the landscape
around it We flily described in Thurs.
days REPUBLICAN,.
The pictures around the room, IS,
pecially the life sized picture of 'lit'le
Eddy" were profusely decorated with
flags. The piano was kept in constant
operation, and innocent games were
INDUCED in. Repairing to the smoking
room up stairs another was Engaged
with a air gun shooting at a target.
After little preliminary practice in
which one or two attaches Of the press
present made crack shots. a challenge
was given by the knights Of the pencil,
three in number upon, the suppositon
that "the pen is IN gntler than the
sword" to an equal number of
OF counter hopprrs, to shoot a match OF
three shots all round. We do not IL.
collect the score, li-ther do wish to, but
1t Is enough tosay that the knights
Of the yard STICK came out ahead.
"You can't do it again." said van
quished pencil man.
~ es we can," answered the man Of
the yard stick, and they did, worse
than 'tother tune. We have no desire
to recolIect the score.
Three other counter men not srp
posed to b. such experts as the first
werr then brought forward to contest
Tor the honor5 of the "bull's ey-," with
the pencilmen, hut the result though
not so bad as the first defeat, was
nevertheless a beat, and second trial
resulted the same way.
The champion belt was handed over
to the knights of the yardstick, all be
ing convinced that though "the pen is
mightier than the sword" it was de-
monstrated that it was no touch to all
air gun skilifulIy handled.
We were bantered to publish the re.
suit OF the shooting, and We have done
so, Lnt we shall never rest satisfied
until some time in the future,
With pencils all primed
In battle array
Wen scatter the yardsticks,
And nave our own way
1t was now nearly twelve o'clock and
the M-ssrs Adams for the
pleasure Of the evenings entertainment,
the company separated for their respec-
tive homes.
