NEWPORT, June l6tb, 80.
we observed in Monday evenings
issue Of your paper that DR.. Booth was
called to Mr.. Georgs Russell, who died
suddenly here Sunday night last.
twas mistake as DR.. Booth left town
in the morning, and did not see Mr.. R.
1t was Rev. Mr.. Sanderson Mr.. Russell
heard preach Sunday evening. Mr Rigg
being away at Chester, Rev. Thomas f.
Plummer filed the pulpit for him Sua-
day morning.
A somewhat singular coincidence oon-
Meeting Mr.. Sauderson with Mr.. George
Russell and his brother, who fell dead
at the Harlan & Hollingsworth works
some time ago. Each of those men
heard the last gospel serm on from Mr..
Sanderson.
II was at the African Union chapel
that all day service was held un Sun
day last and not at Simpson chapel.
Rev. VIM. Chippy the pastor at Union
leaves his charge for some ether field Of
labor.
An old riokety chimney On the Thomp-
son property opposite the Bank in New
port, fell last evening with crash de-
stroying the fence recently put up on
the property. No serious damage was
done and ths citizens are glad that it
is down tor it has long been an eye
sore to many.
We were highly favored with the
privilege Of hearing discourse on the
Lords prayer, SO called, as contained
in the Gospel by st. Matthew vi chap
ter, 18th verse, "For thine is shs king
dom, power and glory forever" deliv-
cred by Rev. Mr. Richardson, pastor of
the NJ. E. church of New Castle. Mr..
R. prepared his discourse by setting
forth our entire dependence upon God,
as shown in the scriptures, illustrated
in the parallels The sparrow cared
for the lilies arrsyed, &3.
The Reverend gentleman then stated
or showed that the Kingdom of this
world as well as the Kingdom of Heav-
eu belong TO God the Father and that
the honor Of God is involved in the
msintainance of His Kingdom. And
that all the Father hath he has given
to the Son, and that all that the Son
hath will be given to those who are his
true followers. Taeret0rs all the glory
of Earth and Heaven belong to the fol-
lovers of Christ, that it is the Fathers
good pleasure to give the disciples Of
his Son, the Kingdom. The discourse
was ably delivered in mastery man
ner, tie Speaker was brilliant without
being extravagant, his language was
chaste and choice. Mr.. Richards is
evidently o man OF culture, and a
christian gentleman.
We paid visit to New Castle Jail
and were struck with the kind manner
Of the Warden who permitted us to
visit the cells. We oOnverssd with
many prisoners among others We visit.
ed Neal who is under sentence of death.
In compsny with Dr.. Black. physician
to the prison, we observed the sanitory
condition OF the prison to be good.
Neal seems to be a man Of good COM
mon sense, declared he IL innocent of
the crime he is charged with, aud pro-
fesses to be ready to inset his fate.
We next visited AFR. Rice in his cell.
He is suffering in health, physically as
well as mentally. Ar. Rics is very
gentlemanly and seems su bmissive he
certainly shares largely the sympathy
of the people. On our way to and from
New Castle We wers forcibIy impressed
with the disregard OF the sanctity of
the Sabbath. Men and boys were seen
in company gathering cherries, no
doubt without any authority, and this
in sight of the prison aud the whipping
post. Cannot some OF our philanthro-
pists suggest remedy tOr this evili
