Complcted his Walk

"Ned" Leary finished his walk Sat-
urday evening, walking so hours
without rest at McDaniel's saloon on a
wager Of $50. During the evening
hundreds Of persons called to witness
"Ned," and it is thought that it was
mainly due to the excitement that
kept him up. Ned appeared to stand
the walking very well, though the last
few hours seemed like months to him.
lie complained Of weakness in the
knees and severe pains in his side
and also in his head. Precise
ly at 10 o'clock the proprietor of the
billiard room announced to the large
audience that Leary had successfully
finished his walk of so hours without
rest. This announcement was received
with great applause, ana Ned leaving
the ring stepped on chair and thanked
the audience for the encouragement
given and stated that in regard to
walking that "there was no other per
son living who would attempt to walk
the same distance he did, situated as he
was at the time he commenced. -"

A Mia ntster's Twenty Fifth.

Saturday last being the twenty-ffth
anniversary Of the wedding of Rev. J.
b. Quigg, Presiding Elder Of the VIII
mington District Of the Wilmington
Conference, residing in the District
parsonage, 603 W. Fourth street, that
gentleman conceived the happy thought
that it would add very much to the
pleasantneSs of the occasion If all his
brethren in the ministry in Whining.
ton would be present to participate in
his joy. Accordingly invitations were
sent out to all the regular and local
ministers in the city, and their families,
to be present, and it shows the very
great respect in which Mr.. Quigg is
held, that all wish one or two excep.
tions who were unavoidably detained,
were present.
When the company had all Assem-
bled, Mr.. Quigg was surprised by the
presentation of full silver tea set pur.
chased at Rudolph's, which cost $S7.
Rev. DR.. Caldwell in making the pre-.
sentation, referred pleasantly to the
friend relations that have always exis.
ted between the ministers and elder, Of
which the memorial presented by his
brethern was but small token of ap.
probation. Elder Quigg accepted tn.
memorial Of his brethern in few
touching and appropriate remarks, af
ter which the company joined in sing
ing that grand hymn commencing with
when | can read my title clear tt
an old fashioned tune, Mr.. II. +. Pick
els, ho had been brought along for thu
occasion, leading in the singing.
After the singing, Rev. DR.. Steven.
son led in touching and eloquen
prayer. Mr.. Quigg having thus fa
been SO very proftably and pleasantly
entertained by his guests, took th'
reins in his own hands once more and in
vited accompany to we'll spread tabl'
of refreshments in the dining room
where his ministerial brethren showed
that they were expert in demolishint
pyramids and castles OF cake aud fruit
At a reasonable hour the company sep
arated, each Of the party wishing Mr.
and Mrs. Quigg as much happiness il
the next twenty. five years of their mar
ried life as they lad enjoyed in tn
past, should the kind msster spar
them so long.

breaking the Sabbath.

Last evening at o'clock little boy
not more than 6 years of age, If that,
was taken from building on Jefferson
street near Front, to his parents house
on West Front street, in such drunk
en- condition that he was unable to
stand on his feet. The boy was led
home by two other boys little older
than himself. 1t appears that he with
several others, found demljohn con-
tanning whiskey and they helped them
selves. One Of the boys was afterwards
found laying on the railroad track. The
place where they drank the liquor, is
said to be visited day and night by
young men ranging in age from IA to 25
years. The parties have rented room
in the building on Jefferson street and
it is said they indulge in drinking, card
playing and dancing on Sundays anu

Burylng q Little One.

Considerable sympathy was excited
yesterday at the sight Of the funeral of
little Ida Bell Woolsey aged two years
and months. The parants were in hum
bic circumstances and could not afford
to hire horses and carriages. The little
loved one was confined in little wal
nut coffin, which was lovingly and ten
derly carried by six little girls from
se2 East Sixth street out Delaware
avenue to the Wilmington and Bran
dywine cemetery, where the remains Of
the little one were deposited in the
earth, the clods being watered by the
tears of grief and sympathy that welled
up from loving hearts. Rev. Mr.. Pegg,
Of Scott Church, performed the funeral
ceremonies. Little Ida sleeps assweet-
ly and her friends mourn for her
as sincerely as If she had been
conveyed to the grave In the
finest white hearse and followed by
a long train Of glittsring coaches.

MEssRs. EDlToRs I'm your issue Of

members of the class Of 70 in the boys

Der Of the class who desires the passage
Of the measure. He says "ui- Board
have been treated shamefully by for

He expresses his tender sympathy for
the much h-injured Board. Poor men

but confess ! don't see how they have
been treated "shamefully." They are
welcome to their seats. they are well
come to their tickets, even though it is
not their commencement; only don't
say they have been treated shameful,

paying 10 cents for admission, Pity
they don't show it by staying home and
keeping their dimes. No! no! that
arrangement won't do, so long rs the
Masonic Temple is densely packed as it
is on the commencement occasons.
II. u. X. further says that speaking
to one Of the scholars he was informed
that the amendment does not meet with
so much disfwor as has been reported
and that the majority OF the scholars
wish it would pass. Well, this ia q
joke! The only scholar from whom II
Z. Il. could have obtained so erroneous
an idea is himself. He is the only on,
Of the scholars who desires the passag,
ofthe bill, and 10y who spends a
much money as he does on theatre,
and horse hire, ought not to speak o
the expense Of graduation.
But what startles me most is that II
z. X. calls himself the "majority Of tn,
scholars" III know anything con
cerning the result Of the examinations
II. Y. X. is not only not majority O
the class, but he is the ",ail-end O
the class" and had il not been for tn
kindness of our worthy Principal, tn
examination Of a year ago would hav
left lin entirely out of the class.
think 1t requires pretty hard cheel
for boy with this record to call him
self the "majority Of the class" Refec
lions are wholesome. LIN.
