Thompson was not at home having been
out in the country experimenting some
work since Monday, but his son upon
the receipt of the telegram, proceeded
to where the accident occurred, at Oak
Grove farm, about two miles from Stan
ton, Delaware. Nothing but the
mere fact Of his death was mentioned
i'll the telegram and the family were jg'
noraut of any of the facts. Master
Edgar was eleven years old last Sun
day. He was the son of Mr.. Joseph
Powell, who formerly kept cigar store
in Chester at 406 Market street. He is
now ON a large farm near Stanton where
the accident oocu FRED.
Inquiry by telephone 10 oIsnIoi'
brings the information that Mr.. Powell
and his two boys were out Telling trees
and that tree falling caught Edgar
bearing him to the ground breaking
his leg and mangling him in terrible
manner. H. died instantly, the other
little boy barely escaped the falling
tree. The Powell family removed from

General Garfield lately said that
there are more things to be taken into

Not only the claims OF sections and
States, the preference of ACKNOWLEDGED

domestic relations Of proposed Cabinet
officers must be considered. The Cab
met OF President Jackson was once
broken up by the wife of one Of its

of the affair. A Secretary Of War under

A harmon 20 Converts.

Rev. Adam Stsngle, pastor of Union
N. K. church, preached very foroiole
Sermon to converts on Sunday morning,
from the text, "Put on the whole ar
NOR of Zion." After making the ne
csssary explanatory remarks, he OBJ
served that it was for the sixty OF
eighty converts who had recently Joined
the church on probation to determine
whether they would prove source Of
weakness or Of strength. 1t was usual
in referring to the strength of a church
to cite the number of members, but
numbers are not invariably an evidence
of strength. He illustrated this aSser'
ton by referring to the army OF Joshua,
which was reduced from 80, 900 to 300,
In order to insure its triumph at Jericho,
and at the same time show the power
Of God. The towards and the Achsps
we're eliminated in order to insure sue
CESS. He invited all who should back
slide or lose their religion to sever their
connection with the church SO they
should not bring discredit upon it, and
prove stumbling block to others.
He held that when they could moi
comply with the discipline they were
better out Of the church than in H. In
order that the church should prosper
the members must be united and actu-
ated by the spirit of God. No difficulty
would then be experienced to raise
money to pay the preachers salary, 10
meet assessments for church purposes,
and all ordinary expensee. The ap
plication Of spiritual power was essen
tisl to advancement. To make this
point plain he referred to the necessity
Of winding the watch in order to SET
the hands in motion, the application Of
steam in order TO move the train OF
start the machinery in the mill With
out tho spirit Of God all work would bs
vain, there would be staguation, retro
erosion and disiutogratiop. He al
luded to the influence Of q conversion
Of misery man when his neightor:
remarked that if he we're made charita'
BILE they would believe that there was
reality in religion. The people had
been worshipping at farm house and
church was needed. The munster
broaohed this subject to this man with
much trapidation, when be promptly
headed q subscription paper with If
ty dollars, aud soon torr or live
thousand dollars we're contributed. A
| few weeks afterwards this mau was ia
tally injured by the falling Of tree,
aud died bearing testimony 20 the suS'
taiuiug power OF religion. The inhu
encs was such that $4,000 were soon
subscribed and beautiful aud sub
stantial church edifce was erected. IL
conclusion he exhor.ed all to put or
the whole armor OF zion and press for
ward earnestly in the good way tina
will insure blessings on earth and hap

knO 6Fhuu Sn~ EOhHvO0
or Canse ana Eject.
MEssRs. HDIFoRs:-One of the most
blighting of American institutions was
African slavery.
Under its regime many things were
practiced, having for their object tn"
benefit Of the owners, regardless OF co.,
sequences to the slave, viz: In many in-
stances, no separate sleeping apart
ments were providedlfor males and fe-
males, nor we're there always separate
beds. All were huddled into a room in
which were planted four crotches, ut \
desirable distance apart, on which were
laid two poles for the reception Of
boards, one board being placed on edge
around the outside, this was flied with
straw, and formed the Sleeping apart
ment for all, with no other distinction
than is observed for brutss.
The demand for slaves was great,
the supply not being equal to 1t. The
supply being increased however, BY a
oommingling Of the races, Decessitated
the demand for more ROOM: hence the
desire TO abrogste the Missouri Com.
promise. Slavery wanted room.
Again, the marriage of negroes aud
mulattoes could be solemnized without
license or the publication OF bans, under
the laws Of Delaware.
A prominent religious sect, in one OF
it's conferences, passed resolution
that no testimony should be received
in its ecclesiastical courts, not admissi-
BILE in the civil courts Of the state,
where said conference was sitting at
the time being.
Many of the discrepancies existing
| in some branches Of colored society are
traceable to, and the effect of the fore
going practices, laws and resolutions.
Also negro woman might be amen-
bar OF q connection, or hearer OF a min.
lister, or class-mate Of a laymen, and
yet by either Of the foregoing officials
be robbed of her chastity without re-
dress in the same connection, for min
listers and laymen are only men.
"The grand jury has observed that
there is growing tendency on the
part OF Negroes to disregard all the OBJ
legations of marriages as defined by
| law and custom, and in their habits to
re. emble more nearly the brute crea'
ton than human beings" If this be
tree it is tbs natural effect Of the fore.
going cause and for the dignity OF
Humanity degerves moro sympathy
thaa censuTe.
II any of the above paragraphs
quoted from the report Of the report OF
the grand jury be true, does it form
the rule or the exception, or IL the re-
mark any more applicable, proportion
a.ely, to the Negro than 10 the CAucas'
sion
That the Negro does regard the obi
cations Of marriage as much in proper
ton az any other class Of citizens is
not to be discovered 10 courts oijustics
alone notwithstanding it Is frequently
found to be 80 there. Several cases
were discovered in this city in which
Negro men married white women and
the best legal talent in the CITY and
state was employed to sever the union
thus formed, blu! without success. II
the charges made by thegrand jury are
true whence came these criminal
charges and prosecutions II the
grand Jury we're sincere in their ez.
pressions Of a great and growing evil,
why did they not point out q proper
and efficient remedy! Why did they
not suggest renodelling OF the school
