An ImnOhinC EerYIce.

At the Household of Faith Church
last evening, a very imposing as well
as novel cermeny was witnessed. The
benches which are used at the services
were removed from their usual positions
and in their stead the large room was
occupied by some eight or ten long
tables for the purpose Of partaking of
the Sacrament of the Lords Supper.
About $50 persons partook of the sacra-
ment, and as they were all seated at
the table at the same time the scene
was quite imposing. Elder Grant pre-
sided and while the bread and wine
were being passed around from one
table to another, he urged the partici-
pants to keep their minds staid upon
Christ. After the christians had par
taken of the sacrament, brief time
was occupied in testifying for Christ.
The testimonies were short and denOt-
sd the witness present experience.
This manner of taking the sacrament
is superior to the past way in which it
has been partaken, as it taycids the noise
occasioned by walking to and fro and
also affords time for delivering expe-
Iiences. At the close of the service, the
congregation surrounded the Elder
thanking him for his efforts on their
behalf, wishing him success in his
future miristrations and bidding him
adieu. Services will be held at the
church this evening, as has beUn the
custom heretofore.

AMUSEMENTS.
Performance Last EYeniug-Our
GObtins.

MESSENGER FROM JARVIS SEcTIoN.-
Last evening about 700 attended the
performance. Bernard Macauley as
Uncle Daniel certainly merits all that
has been said of him. The character
is irresistible; being clothed with such
giant humor which is expressed not
only in words but by the very LIMA
msnts of his countenance. Coming in
from "Jarvis Section" astrids his old
mare Nance, and annual the "color of
seven cent sugar." with her tail broken
aud crooked, up behind like big par
asol, he walked into the sympathies
of the audience With a natural simpli-
city characteristic of the place and peo-
pie from which, and from among whom
be came. Minnie Walden as "Clip,"
the bar room girl was very good, taking
her character with an aptness that was
remarkable. The entire play was one
of those fresh, simple csations of Yam
keedom which to be seen is long to be
remembered.
OUR GoBLINs.-This evening "Our
Goblins" will be among US. The Bul-
letin says: The fun is evolved by bring
ing a practical, unromantic, level head
cd American of our own time into con-
trast with knights and ladies and min
strels of the middle ages. Mr.. Gill, in
conducting this business, showed him
sell to be comedian of very rare pow
srs, and it is fair to say that he was
hardly more amusing than his COM
pauions. Ths dialogue contains a great
many bright bits of humor, and not a
few songs, some of them pretty.

Sunday Traffic.

MEssRs. EDIToRs IL noticed in your
paper a few days since c0mmunica-
ton relating to the sale of cigars and to-
bacco on Sunday, protesting against it
as breach of divine as well as human
law, and asking the better class of
venders in these articles to start a
movement for closing on the Sabbath.
This would probably be very rea-
sonable and good thing to do on the
part of the trade even as a matter Of
private good as it would give them one
day in seven to rest, and if all agreed
to it each would sell the same amount
of goods iu the week. By why should
they, or why should this writer be dis
turbed about this matter. We have
Mayor who has taken an oath to ad-
minister and execute the laws, aud he
takes no notics of this hagrant breach
of the law. We have some eight or
ten Magistrates who have solnnly
sworn to carry out the laws ofour State;
some of them we are told are members
of Christian chucLes ; some even elders
and officers of the church, but they are
so busily engaged in keeping the Sab
bath themselves that they do not
even know that cigars and whiskey are
sold on Sunday. And then the
churches themselves-they certainly
are not in earnest, when they teach in
their Sunday Schools that we should
Remember the Sabbath day and keep
it holy !" living right in the midst of
this Sunday Traffic without lifting al
word or hand against 1t.
Why should the cigar dealers or
whiskey sellers disturb their souls
about it. 1t would be 'like children
sitting in the markets" and calling
unto their fellows, 1--WE have piped un-
to you and ye have not danced ; we
have mourned unto you and ye have
not lanented." SMOKER.

An Assault and Rattsry Case =
KcepinE Unreg IsIered Dogs.

Alonza Young was arraigned at the
police court last evening on the charge
Of assault ana battery on Mary MeKen-
ley. Mary testified to being domestic
in Mr.. Young's house, aud the son
AlonzO, would at times annoy her
while she was attending to the house.
hold duties. Last Sunday morning she
said Alonzo struck her in the face and
hs threatened to have revenge If she
had him arrested as she threatened to
do. AloDz'os father said that Mary
ought to be willing to take fun espe-
cialiy when she gives 1t. Mary replied
that she was willing to take joke but
she did not believe 1t was any pleasure
TO be struck in the face. AlonzO was
fined 81 aud costs. Mary said that
Alonzo carried deadly weapon, and
as hs had threatened to have revenge
she was afraid of him. His Honor
thought that Alonzo would not hurt
her, yet as Mary was afraid OF Alonzo
he was held in 500 bail to keep the
peace, the Mayor saying that he
thought his father would go his security.
Mr.. Justibon was next tried on the
charge Of keeping an unregistered dog.
Michel Wolfe, who resides on Robinson
street near Church, testified to tAe de-
fendapt being neighbor Of his and
that he has had dog since he moved
from Chester. Mr.. Justisou's wife, asked
permission to say word or two, but
her request was not granted, when she
in sarcastic manner said: "GOd AL
mighty, hope they will get better re-
venga than to fine my husband for
keeping dog" His Honor informed
Mrs. Justison that it would be best for
her in order to save trouble, to keep
silent. The defendant was fined s. and
costs.
VIM. H. Reynolds, colored, was ar
raigned on the charge Of violating the
city ordinance by keeping an unregis-
tered dog. John 3lamer testified to
knowing William; witness said that he
was informed that defendant had dog
last year which bit his child; never
saw dog about defendants house.
Defsndant-What was the cause of
my dog biting your boy.
WitnesB--I don't know.
Defendant-Weil my dog never goes
out.
His Honor-John you had better not
say too much.
John Dealon also testified to William
having dog about year ago, and like
Flamer the dog also bit his child.
John Hunt could not say that the
defendant was the owner of the dog.
His Honor-William you can go.
There is not the least doubt in my
mind but what you have got a dog, yet
there is no evidence to con sict you.
Vim. II. Spearman, colored, was also
charged with keeping an unregistered
dog. John Hunt testified to endeavor
ing to capture the canine when it would
always run into Speatnau's yard. He
judged from what the "ueignbOIs said, !"
that it was the defendants dog. John
Flamer testified that he knew William;
never saw dog on his premises. The
case was dismissed.

He says about Ireland-HisR Re

In the House OF Representatives, ye'-
tsrday, at Washington, after an hours
debate on ths new rules, u recess until
evening was taken in order TO listen TO
an address from the Hon. Charles Stew
art Parnell, member Of the British
Parliament; in behalf Of Ireland
He thanked the Speaker for the hon
or conferred on him in being permitted
to address such an august assemblage
on the state of affairs in his unhappy
country. American public opinion
would be Of the greatest Importance in
enabling them to obtain a settlement
Of the Irish question. lie proceeded to
speak of the land tenure In Ireland as
being the most pressing question ofthat
country, and Le qnoted the testimony
of the historian Frouds against the
principle of private property in land.
He also quoted approvingly the New
York Nation against the idea Of emigra-
tiou as a remedy. He proposed to initiate
the example Of Prussia and other con-
tinental countries, whers the fsudal ten
ure had been tried, found wanting and
abandoned. He proposed to give the
opportunity TO every occupying farmer
in Ireland to become the owner of his
own farm. He referred to Mr.. John
Brights proposition for company to
advance money for the purchase Of Irish
farms, and criticised Mr.. Bright for
Sinking his duty in asking the English
Parliament to sanction that principle.
Ia conclusion he said that it would
be a proud boast for America II she
were, by the force OF her public opin-
ion alone, and by the respect which
all peoples looked upon any sentiment
prevailing in America, to obtain for
Ireland, without the shedding of one
drop of blood, without drawing the
sword, without one threatening message,
to aid in the satisfactory solution Of the
great question. He was proud and
happy in the belief that in the way he
b ad mentioned, and in DO other way,
America would be an important factor
in the solution Of the Irish land ques-
tion. [Applause.l
On motion of Mr.. O'Connor, Of South
Carolina, the House then adjourned,
and the ceremony Of the personal intro.

COLORED EDUCATION.
How II Progresses fn SWssex-Aet-

District.

How IL Progresses fn SHssex-Aet.
nary Conrad's Visit 10 the Rural
| District.
Up to the close Of last week Mr.. Hem
ry G. Conrad, the actuary of the Della
ware Association had visited twenty
eight schools, as follows: Four in New
Castle County, sixteen in Kent and
eight in Sussex, leaving him twenty
more to visit before he can be prepared
to submit his annual report.
His recent trip to Sussex has impress.
ed him very favorably; and the
improvement made in the mental con-
dition of the colored population, is such
as to give the greatest encouragement.
On his way down he visited the Milford
and Lincoln schools. The former is not
as large as it should be in consideration
of the large colored population. The
enrollnent is 81, marked deficiency
for an institution which should be the
largest in the State, south of Whining
ton. This is attributed to the lack of
interest in the education of the young
by the people of the neighborhood. Ths
actuary was impressed with the belief
that were it not for the warm interest
Of the teacher, Mrs. Sarah 4. M. Lewis,
oneof the most thorough and competent
instructors in the State, the school
would gradually die out. As 1t is this
lady not only spends her time and
labor but aids financially in keeping
up the school.
The Lincoln school is doing well,
having 80 scholars enrolled. The John
Wesley Chapel school, 2! miles south
of Frederick, was next visited. This,
with the school at Houston, four miles
south of Milford, is in very good con-
dition, the former having % scholars
and the latter %. From the fact that
these are new schools, the progress
made is surprising.
At Slaughter's Neck, eight miles
southeast of Milford, there is school
of II scholars, the most fourishing in
stitution in the Associations jurisdie-
tion. The school at Georgetown is
small, there being but very few col
ored people in that immediate section.
1t numbers 20 scholars. At the Milton
school there is 49 scholars.
AT Lewes the Actuary met with the
only disappointment. The attendance
OF scholars having psrseptibly dimin-
ished from the average given last
year. This was attributed by the
teacher to his severe sickness. The
enrolment is 40, when it should be
about 70. At Rehoboth, four miles
south Of Lewes, is another school, and
also one at Nassau, three miles west Of
Lswes, both of which are new. The Of
fetal spoke in the higest terms of the
ability of Miss Mary C. Campbell, and
referred to her as the bsst cSlored teach
er in the State.
The peculiarly of the rural school is
in the attendance of pupils who have
reached their majority. In a great
many cases there are grown up young
men and women, and what is more re-
markable, they exhibit more interest
and manifest greater desire to learn
than those more youthful. In the in
stitutions in the towns the attendance
is from small children almost exclu'
siVely.

A Romance Of Royalty.

There is a romantic story connected
with the marriage of the Emperor and
Empress Of Austria, who lately celebra-
ted their silver wedding. He married
a princess who was almost q shepher-
dess. She lived in the mountains with
her sister and father-Dnke Maximil-
ian Joseph, near relative Of th King
of Bavaria-a kind country gentleman,
who dressed himself in coarse cloth
and his daughter in wool.
She had not been brought up for the
throne, and it was one of her sisters
whom they destined for the youthful
Emperor. But one beautiful summer
evening Francis Joseph made his ap-
pearancs at Prince Maximilian's resi-
dence, sitnated on the borders of LAX.

NEW CASTLE, Feb. 2, 80.
Everything in the city of New Castle
is very quiet, nothing of interest having
occurred for the last few days; the
citizens seemed to be somewhat enliven-
ed on the arrival of the Wilmington
train this morning.
In walking around the streets we
failed to see single dog running at
large. They have been disposed of by
the dozens within the last few weeks,
and all persons owning dogs take good
care TO keep them in doors.
We were surprised to learn that a
prominent citizen Of this place stopped
a business man on the street and told
him that when he saw fit to write any
more letters to the "Republicau" he
wished him TO keep his name out and
If he had anything to say he would
like him to say 1t to his face. Some
sharp words took place between them,
We will just say that the citizen was
barking up the wrong tree.i
About 60 names are reported to have
been placed on the extra assessment last
Saturday without any trouble. At half
past II o'clock the court room was dill
ed with an anxious throng of men OF
all grades OF life, business m9n, store
keepers, mechanics, farmers and retir-
ed gentlemen. Some are reading the
morning papers, with their feet proppsd
on the railings and the backs OF chairs,
while others are discussing the differ
ent topics Of the day, and not few are
growing about being kept away from
their business and doing absolutely NJ
good.
On making inquiry why court was
not open We were informed by an Off.
Ger that Judge Houston alone was pres
ent and he will not transact any bust
ness.
The Judge, however, took his seat on
the bench and ordered the bailiH to
ring the bell, and at 5 minutes TO II
O'Clock he opened the court, when he
stated that the Chief Justics Comsgys
must have had very unexpected
summons to Philadelphia, as be
sent word that he would return
on the next train. He would not call
the Grand or Petit Juries as he had not
the authority to do anything more than
open and adjourn the Court in the alb
sence of the Chief Justice or ths As
sociate Judge, he would therefore exer-
else that function and ordered recess
until O'Clock.
Judge Houston opened court at three
o'clock and kept it open until half past
three, in expectation Of the associate
Judge arriving on the three O'Clock
train, but, no associate Judge arriving
he discharged the Grand aud Petit ju-
rors until ten o'clock tomorrow, al
though the Attorney-General might
keep court openand examine witnesses.
At Ais the crier adjourned the court
until ten o'clock Tomorrow. ---r
