ii orls he
peared to be insane. Since his incarsera-

touching the food furnished him by the

1t was a curious incident of the lecture
of Chaplain McCabe, Monday night
last, that there were present several per-
sons who We're with the Chaplain in Mil
roys' command, when, rs was so graph
ically described it was captured by that of
General Ewell, and also several OF the
soldiers under this last named general.
Capt. VIM. &. Purnell and NJ. |. ID. Davis
were both of Milroys' command. The
former was confined with the Chaplain in
Libby prison while Mr. Davis was taken to
the prison at Belle Isle. The members OF
Ewell's force present were Messrs. VIM. II.
| Nav and John Gilpin. 1t is unnecessary
| to state that both the captured and the
capturers are now, as always, on the most
friendly terms.
Already the Methodists of many places
| in the Wilmington conference have given
| calls to preachers The Methodists OF Dover
want Rev Z. E. Terry of New Castle. Rev
Mr.. Hubbard of Braudywne is men
toned for the pulpit t, be vacated By Mr..
Terry. Rev. I. E. Martindale now at
| Dover has been called to Easton. Ia this
county there will be several changes next
| year. Rev. Charles \. Hill of Cherry Hill,
| Rev T. S. Williams of North East, and
| Rev. T. A. II. O'Brlea of Chesapeake City
will have by the next conference completed
| the allotted three years of service at their
respective places. The first named cler ~
| man, it is said, has received a call from a
church in Philadelphia The Rev. I. 5.
Williams will retire from active ministerial
work for while and engage in merchan-
dizing in North East The people of North
| East would like to have the Rev. Mr.. Nc
Sorley for their pastor. He is at present re-
ceiving a considerably higher salary than
is paid at that place. 1t is highly probable
that the Elkton church will break its rule
of not keeping a pastor longer than two
| years, and ask for the return of the L V. j.
p. Otis. These arc only rumors, however,
and the presiding elders may have other
| plans.
