The Rev. Chas. Hill, Presiding Elder
of this district, preached in the VI. l..
Church here on Sunday evening last, to
II large and attentive audience, from
these words: Happy art thou, o Israel:
who is like unto thee, o people saved by
the Lord" which forms part of the Goth
verse of the 33rd chapter of Deuter-
Onomy. The sermon was plain and
forcible one delivered, as all Others by
this gentleman, in a clear and eloquent
manner.
"A track laborer was suddenly killed
while at work on the track, near Moor

several other men they were cutting rail

breaking, the unfortunate man slipped in
some manner, and fell, and before it
could be prevented, the heavy rail crash
ed down, striking him on the head,
almost instantly killing him.
Elder G.. ?. Coler, of Baltimore, Md,
preached in Grange room on Sunday
morning and evening last. At the morn
ing service, one young lady made known
her acceptance of Christ and her desire
to become member of the Christian
Church. As it was necessary to be i'm
mersed in order to carry out this desire,
notice was therefore given of the hap
tism at O'Clock of the same day. The
place of the the immersing was at Dean
Wooden Company's dam, just north of
town, and was witnessed by large num-
Der of people. An occurrence of this
kind is rare in this locality, so naturally
it proved to be one of unusual interest.
1t is really amusing to see how easily
some men are "gulled." With eyes wide
open they do things that some of the
craziest men living would not do. Stran-
gers, with good address, have good luck
in making living out of the unsophisto-
Gated innocent who will unwillingly
comply with what they ask. Is it be-
cause the men who are duped are not
posted, or have not time to read of the
wickednes5 of the world? If this be so,
we believe it will pay them to take
paper and read. A good advice to take
is, never make the acquaintance of
strangers; or be more than careful of the
man who pretends he knows you, be-
cause he will carry away your cash, if
you have any.
The entertainment, given by the
Newark VI. Z. Sabbath School in ex-
change Hall on Thursday evening of this
week, proved to be complete success.
1t consisted wholly of tableaux and
music by select orchestra. The
scenes presented to the well-flled house
were received by the audience in such a
manner as to clearly show their appre-
citation. The music from the orchestra
which was accompanied by the sweet
strains from the organ, ought else could
be said than words of praise. Through
the intermission were rather long and
perhaps little tiresome to some few,
yet with all every thing passed of very
agreeably and the finances, thus de-
rived, we are happy to state, are of such
a character, as to cause all who participa-
ted, to feel that their labors have not
been in vain, but that they have been
amply compensated for all trouble taken.
The young and enterprising firm of
Pennock Il Foreman at the S. Il. corner
of 9th and Market streets, Wilmington,
Del, have taken the lead in the clothing
business in that city, and desire to state
to the public that their business has in
creased to almost double the amount of
their first years trade, and they do not
know how to account for it unless it is
by uniform square dealing to all. They
feel confident that they are better pre-
pared than ever to supply the public
with seasOnable goods and at prices to
suit the times, and cordially extend an
invitation to all to call and examine their |
new styles plaid sack suits, cut square
corners, for young men. Also, all the
latest novelties to be found in first class
clothing house always on hand Their
stock of children's suits is replete with
all the new colorings in plaid cassimeres,
corkscrews, trieots, etc. Give them call
On Tuesday at noon, two poorly clad
boys and woman and two children
were noticed on the streets Earlier in
the day, however, two wagons passed |
through town, going toward Wilmington
with rather hard looking occupants.
These persons, above mentioned, were
begging. Each was armed with a paper,
on which, very bad English was used,
asking for help. 1t is believed that
these beggars and the party that passed
through town, to be one and the same.
Their way of living OH the charities of
the world is done on very systematic
order. There is no doubt in our minds
but that these boys were forced to beg
for food and money. OF course they re-
ceived bountiful supply of charity, but
these men who use these boys as tools,
are fit subjects for the workhouse. How
ever, after these boys and the woman
had gone over the town thoroughly,
they departed as mysteriously as they
came.
