1
sermon on Sunday morning in alluding
incidentally to the sins of the day particu-
larized Sabbath desecratiOn as the one
that was the most alarming in its growing
tendencies.
THOs. J. ARMITAGE received last week
a pension of $1174, and So per month from
June 4th. Mr.. A. was Il member of
Company G, Fourth Delaware Regiment
and was disabled by sun-stroke near
Petersburg.
GEORGE HARTUP during the display of
the fireworks at Collins Beach on Mon
day night was struck on the leg by a sky
rocketand his leg so benumbed by the force
of the blow that he could not use it the
rest of the evening.
THE 4th of July seems to be an accepted
E ice cream day. Our ice cream makers
2 say there has never been so much gone
. out in quarts and half gallons before as
t was the case on Monday. The demand
was more than they could fill.
REvs. UMsTED, GORDON AND RIGG,
: each offered fervent prayers for the life of
2 the President on Sunday. Such Il specta-
Gle as 5O,000OO0 of people united in one
; prayerful desire, as has been the case
Il this week, was perhaps never before wit
messed in the history of the world.
4 STEAM threshers used within 60 yards
0 of property insured in the Kent County
n Mutual Insurance Company invaldate
: the policy as to such property, persons
/ therefore desirOus of thus placing steam
:, threshers within such limits should get
/. permission to use the same, for which a
$ small charge is made to cover the increas-
= ed risk.
G WITHDRAwN.-The train which ran
+ from Clayton and this town to the steamer
e Clyde, last Summer, and commenced again
y y on the resuming of the trips of the Clydt
: two weeks ago, was by the direction OF
% the new Railroad authorities discontinued
! on Saturday. This mode of reaching
,f Philadelphia was both cheap and conven
o lent and will be regretted by many as {
10 step backward.
The wOrkmen under the direction o.
Mr.. Cavender who have been all the sea
son, since cold weather, making improve
= ments for comfort and convenience, got the
pavilion at Woodland Beach ready for the
:. large crowd which was expected on the
:; 4th. The chief feature is greater air
- ness, giving the visitors more of the cool
: ing breezes as well as enlarged vision
"a The bank which was washed considerabl,
- by the recent storms is being renewed by
solid breast work of logs and planks
- The most attractive and graceful structur,
- at the place is the soda fountain, ice cream
nc and confectionery pavilion, which is unde
the management of p p. Collins.
49, THE habit of dropping into church an,
re time from the beginning to the end of tn,
re sermon by the cOlored people is so chrOni
at and settled as to be thought nothing of b.
er themselves. Very few of them expect to ge

time. The pastor of Centennial NJ. Z
O. Church had requested an improvement o
tn propriety in this regard, but without mucl
,o effect So he announced that if the,
at were not on hand at eight o'clock on Sun
vn day evening last that he should shut u
20 the church and go home. They were Ou
20 promptly on time, full congregation an,
70 undisturbed service, thus showing tina
ba their dilatOry manner was the result O
