A Grievance.
For the REPUBLICAN.

MIDDLErOwN, DEL, Dec. Eth, 1881.
MEssRs. EDITORS In the issue Of
the Middletown Transcript, Of the 9th
inst, there appeared the following
"If Nath. Simmons don fence in his
chickens, we know man on Broad
street, south of Green who thinks he
will be able to entertain about six
preachers, during the NJ. Z. Confer
cuce."
As there are always two sides to every
question, and as one has been heard,
through the Transcript, ! desire with
your kind permission, to have mine
heard through the REPUBLICAN,.
My chickens, | have no doubt, are
sometimes to be seen on his premises,
but at this time of the year, there is no
possible way for them t. do any damage
whatever. | have 10 fence around my
yard, nor has he any to the rear of his,
and the chickens, of course, Will roam
from one to the other.
In speaking OF the NJ. L. Conference,
| have no doubt that our "ba.d-headed
Editor" would entertain a few minis
ters, provided he could do it at another's 5
expense and as they are very fonu or
poultry, these would come in very
handy. believe III the saying that,
"a Methodist minister can sponge
more and eat more yellow legged chick.
ems, than any two OF his congregation.
There have been several items pub
lished in the Transcript lately, in re-
ference to me; but heretofore, | have
taken little or no notice of them. HIS
actions, and those OF his family, seem
to be unworthy Of publication. A snort
time ago, child of his, came to my
house, and care assly threw one OF my
children from chair, thereby break
ing its arm.
Since then there has never been one
word Published in reference to II. nor
one word in sympathy for the child;
nor have l complained in the least 10
anyone, but when 50 small an intruder,
as chicken enters hiS premises, there
is an item in the Transcript
Perhaps, after this, he will attend
more strictly to his business and less TO
others, and / will venture to say that,
if there is more coumOn sense and less
trash published, there will be far bet
ter chances for larger circulation. he
may entitle himselt a humoriSt, but
with his attempts at wit anu humor,
he is considered by many one OF those
"who would If he could n. >.

He then related q number of enter.
tanning and affecting scenes of army
life, and at one moment he would have
tears streaming down the cheeks of the
audience and another they would be
convuised with laughter.
COmrade Tanner is an eloquent and
accomplished speaker, and during the
delivery of his thrilling remarks, was
frequently interrupted by cheers.
Miss Geary, a daughter of one Of the
comrades of this city, performed in an
excellent manner columbia the Gem
of the Ocean" as a violin solo, and was
greeted with loud applause.
| Past Commander-in.C Chief Louis Wag-
ner, Of Philadelphia, was the next
speaker. He alluded to the lady of un-
certain age who had presented Conrad
Tanner, the preceding speaker with a
tract on the evils of Dancing" while
he was lying near deaths door in the
Fairfax Seminary Hospital with both
legs shot off He pointed to the bald
pate of General Merrill and said that
was the result of the commander.in-
chiefs giving fair hospital nurse per-
mission to cool his tevered brow. Gen
eral Wagner then paid glowing trib-
ute to the ladies who had enacted such
an important part in the war, and
made an eloquent appeal for the noble
order in whose interest the meeting was
held.
The band then played the "Star
Spangled Banner" after which the De-
partment Commander stated, that ow-
ing to the lateness of the hour, Surgeon
Thomas A.. keabes, would not read
the poem which he had prepared for the
occasion.
Past Commander A. S. Nones of
Smyth Post, made brief but interest
ing address and pointed the finger of
the wars Of the revolution and rebellion,
and mentioned the records Of the Rod
neys, Bayards and McLeans in civil
lte, and the Duponts, Smith and Rey-
nolds in military strife. The whole
country is indebted to Delaware be-
cause the last general army officer kill
ed ON either side, General Thomas a.
Smy tn, was Delawarean,
At the close of his remarks the entire
assemblage joined in singing My
Country Tis of Thee aud we're then
dismissed with the benediction by
Chaplain Van Horn
Af,er the camp tire Generals Merrill,
Wagner, Tanner and Loud were enter-
taircd, by Generals McNair and Vain
wight, in the banquetiog rooms OF
FuIlmer's cafe. General Tanner left
for Washington, d. G., on the l2.5l
train this morning. Generals Merrill
and Wagner remained at the Clayton
House until this morning.

society supper.

Special correspondence of the Republican.
NEW CASTLE, Dec. IA.
Quite extensive improvements are
being added at and near the corner of
Union and Delaware streets. The
knights are preparing to lay the pave
mem around their new hall, and the
payement in front of the Nj. E. church,
nroperty has been widened and relaid,
a iiew picket tence is being built in
front of the church yard.
Joseph, oldest son of Theodore Atkin-
son, aged about II years, met with a
very painful accident yesterday morn
ing at the cotton mills, by having one
of his tiug rs so badly crushed between
some wheels, that it was found neces-
sLry to amputatc it.
The supper given by the Mite Society
of the M. Il. church last Friday and
Saturday evenings, was an unusually
creuitablc affair, both to the Mite So
ciety and TO the various contributors.
The contribution OF cakes and other
delicacies was remarkably large, and
the tables were fully provided with all
that was necessary TO make tho supper,
As was rtmdriStu Dy IL HuliiDpl VI 'ioi'-
ors, the best ever given in that church
Another noticeable fact that tender
to harmonize with the supper, was that
the disatiection that has too frequently
existed heretofore among the workers
on these occasions entirely disappeared.
Everything passed OFT pleasantly and
socially, all working for the success Of
the enterprise. The members of the
Mite Society last sprin Z refurnished the
parsonage at considerable expense ;
SlO5 80 was realized last week. This
added to what was previously raised
and paid over on account of new furnl'
ture, leaves balance of $40 yet due.
This the ladies will raise by the lst OF
the now year. The church through the
indefatigable efforts Of its noble women,
has to-day one Of the best furnished
parsonages in this conference. Surely
this is commendable from a church
where one of the Wilmington dailies
has untruthfully stated on different oc-
cas!ons, that the pastor and members
were antsgonistic to each other. V.

occasionally almost drowned by the
agonizing sObs of the mourners. The
Large square in front OF the. cathedral
and the adjoining streets were filed by
many thousands of people. After the
requiem the funeral ceremonies began
at the cemetery. Cavalry, infantry
and Police maintained order on either
side Of the imposing catatalque, which

Viennese corporations. Many mourn.
ers were present. The funeral process
sion included all the members of the
Common COuuril many memberS of

various theatres and members Ofthe ar
istocracy. After the service, Burgc-
master Newald delivered an address,
in which he spoke of the grief of Wen
ma, of Austria, and of the world at the
terrible calamity. The cotfins were
then lowered into . conmon grave, a
task which, beginning at noon, was
not completed until nigh-fall. The
grave is $50 feet long and IA feet wide,

..WAITING FOR THE VERDICT.
II In Rem dexcd and Received by
the Pubic with Entire batlsfac-


The Opera House was well filed last
evening, there being over 1000 persons
present, who went TO see the first per-
iormance in this city Of the Maggie
Mitchell Dramatic Association, in the
piece entitled, "Waiting for the Ver-
dict" This association is exclusively
composed Of home talent, and consider
ing the short time that they have been
organized, the rendition of thcplay was
all that could be desired; in fact was
better than was anticipated. Miss
Laura A. Bigger as Martha Roseblade,
the leading lady, sustained her part
well, and bids fair to become an actress
of rare merit, and will be u bright light
to this Association. Mr. Morrow as
Blinke Brown was the lite Of the play,
and kept the audience in commissions
Of laughter throughout the perform
ance.
Jones Humble, the villain, by Mr.
c. d. Rhoads, was fully up to the stan
dard. j. II. Crabb, the accused son, and
Joshua Woodward, father of the accus-
ed son, sustained their respective parts
well. Miss Jones as Sarah Sawyer,
the servant girl took Ler part admira-
bly,, and was ii general tavorite. Lieu
tenant Fioville, Of. Her Majesty's ser.
vice. by Mr. DUNCAN, was performed
eXcellently. The other characters were
well performed, and shows care
fll training and close study. One thing
was lacking last night and that, no
doubt, will be remedied at their next
performance. They were repeatedly y
encored, but in most cases would not
answer the loud plaudits. They
probably did not expect to be- encored
and were Il prepared for second APP
pearance. A few songs introduced
during the play would be quite an i'm
provement. The performance as a
whole was success, and the future OF
this Association has bright outlook.
The orchestra gave some excellent mu-
sic between the acts which was highly
appreciated.

way millions Of copies Of newspapers,
lesson sheets aud teachers aids are
furnished, we are ready to say,
"What hath God drought" Truly,
"the poor haze the Gospel preached to
them"
Add to this the fact that very many
weekly newspapers, both religious
and secular, furnish weekly EXPOSE
tons of the lessons without extra
charge, and that many political and
secular papers are now publishing,
weekly, sermons from the most learn
ed and popular ministersin the world.
and that now four Of such sermons,
with q great amount Of valuable
news-matter, can be had every week
for $3.50 year, we may safely say
"the poor have the Gospel preached to
Mem."
And all this, too, and much more
unmentioned, in an age when science
and art have made more rapid prog
ress than at any other period in the
worlds history; and also in an age
when the church is q failure and the
Bible has become an antiquated book,

This GospelChrl himself preached
when he was here IN visible person
on the earth and after his resuriec-
ton and just before his ascension,
from the eastern slope OF inc mount
OF Olives, he SAID to Apostles ana
Disciples: "All power is given to me
in Heaven and in earth; go ye, there
fore, and teach all nations, baptIzIng
them in the name OF the Father ana
Of the Son and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever have commanded you
and 10, | am with you always, even
unto the end of the world"
Here, the commission to proclaim
this Gospel to tho world was COM
mitted to the church under the super
vision of its divine Originator.
How well the early church fulfilled
this divine trust is easily seen by
any one who will be at the pains to
examine the history OF the progress
OF The early church..
Our first inquiry this morning will
be, is the church now fulfilling the
divine mission Entrusted to her by
her risen Lord. Nor Is she fully doing
it, or dong it to the extent Of her
ability, but Is she ut all appr0xlmat-

New Zealand and New Guinea, have
