Fishing for Shad and Catching q
SGA LfOn

While gilling for shad on Friday in
the Delaware, off Marcus Hook, several
Philadelphia fishermen captured big
male sea lion. After dragging the
amphibious beast to the surface the men
discovered that in its endeavors to re-
lease itself from the entanglement of
meshes the lion had sadly torn their
net, and their drag Of shad would be
entirely lost unless something was done.
As they were not fishing for sea lions,
and their net was suffering new damage
every minute, the monster was des-
patched with a boat hsok. 1t is thought
that this is the animal that leaped oveI
the fence inclosing the tanks at the
Geological Garden and escaped to the
Schuylkill some time ago.

Anniversary Last Evening.

The Bethany Baptist Sunday School
held their first anniversary last even
ing. The Church was crowded and
many persons being unable to gain ad.
mission remained outside and looked
through the windows. 1t is said that
over two hundred persons were unable
to bs admitted, so great was the crowd.
The exercises consisted of singing reci-
tations, &c. The singing of the school
was very fine. J. H. Muhlhausen pre-
sided at the organ, Rev. 7. W. East
wood, the pastor, delivered an address
and in his opening said that he had
heard famous orator once say that a
speech could be made in 10 minutes,
and if such was the case the audience
would not expect a speech from him as
he did not think he could bind himself
to ten minutes speech.
In speaking to the scholars he hoped
that they would be always eager to
study the catechism and the bible, and
he was anxious that they should exhib-
it the same zeal in the Sunday School
as in their every day walk. He urged
on the teachers to be up and doing in
the work and study the Bible, is like a
pilot who did not know the channel in
the steering boat through. He next
spoke to the parents of the children
and asked their presence, their sympa
thy, prayer and aid.

Travelling Ia Extra-H azardous

IF the tourist is unprovided with some medic.
inal resource. Changes of temperature, food
and water of an unaccustomed or unwhole-
some quality, and route that lies in the
tropics or other REGIONS where malaria exists,
are each and all traught with danger to one
who has been improvident enough to neglect
a remedial safeguard. The concurrent testi-
mony of many poyageurs by land and sea es-
tablishes the fact that Hostetters Stomach
Bitters enables those who use 1t to encounter
hazards of the nature referred to with impu-
nity; and that, as medicine adapted to sud-
den and unexpected exigencies, it ltisneculiar-
ly valuable. Disorders Of the liver, the bow
els and the stomach, fever and ague, rheuma-
tism and nervous ailments, brought on by ex-
posure, are among the maladies to which en-
igrants, travellers and new settlers are most
subject, These and others yield to the action
OF the Bitters promptly and completely.

Grand SINGING.

Much as was expected from the ap-
pearance of Madame Selika atthe Opera
House last evening the audience was
much larger than was anticipated, and
the singing of "Selika" was grander
than any that has been heard from the
Wilmington Opera House stage for a
long time. Her songs were from the
most artistic selections, and she was
assisted by her husband Mr.. Sampson
Williams, barrytone; Mrs. A. Walker,
soprano; Mr.. James A. Anderson OF
this city, cornet soloist, and a double
quartette, DR.. Bayard F. Smith acting
as conductor. Madame "Selika's" voice
was not only strong, but rich, clear, and
full. She exhibited wonderful ease in
singing and completely carried her au-
dience with her in her most lofty
flights of song, and down again in gen
tie undulating cadences until the notes
died away in the distance after the lips
had ceased to move. We have only to
say that the audience were delighted,
and such singers as "Selika" are sell
dom met with.

A Magnificent Affair.

The Rocky Mountain Exhibition Civ
EN- by Mr.. Adams in Scott M. E. church
last evening was very fine. The pic
lures of natural scenery in Southern
Colorado were superb. So vividly were
the varied pictures Of the mountain
country presented to the mind that one
could almost believe himself Chamber
ing about amongst the massive rocks
and penetrating the deep gorges
through which flow limpid streams
fed from eternal SHOWS. In addition to
the scenes from Colorado Mr.. Adams
exhibited some very beautiful pieces
of statuary and fine portraits OF celebra-
ted Indians. To those who for want
of time or money cannot visit the great
West, these splendid views of the A.
nerican wilderness Of wonders are a
first-rate substitute. This evening
will be principally devoted to views in
Northern Colorado. Those who wish
to can accompany Mr.. Adams in his
tour to night, which will begin at {
o'clock and will cost only 25 cents foI
the.round trip. The interesting remarks
opthe exhibition are not the least valu
able part of this entertainment as they
throw flood Of light on the vast regio1
