His text was st. Luke 2, 90: "And the
shepherds returned, clarifying and prais-

heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
He said that it was a good plan
to repeat the gospel epistle and
collect of Circumcision Day, which is New
Years Day on the Sunday following,
because little attention is generally paid
to them on the former day. There is a
great deal Of propriety in resting awhile
from the contemplation of the Lord s
incarnation, for the benefit Of returning
to its contemplation. 1t is profitable to
bring our hearts to these shepherds. The
night had been as uneventful as many
other nights. These men knew the
ancient traditions concerning Christie
coming. Suddenly their attention was
riveted by the message they received. A

which came upon Abraham, Moses, John

their unworthiness of any special exercise

A funny incident concerning Secretary
Frazer's zeal in this matter has come to
light. One day the hard working secre
tary Of the State Board Of Health was
III the Office of the Recorder Of
Deeds. He had discussion with
somebody, and in the course Of the
discussion said, why, clergymen,
and doctors and undertakers do not have
to register here" The other person held
that they did and proved it by the Laws
of Delaware; Chapter 3S1, Volume 10,
passed at Dover on April Z, 1884, the
same section which Secretary Frazer is
now shaking over the heads of the negli

Mr.. Frazers hand, appeared in the Every

ment Probably Only Temporary.
G. II. Beckett, furniture dealer at
500 Shipley street, failed on Saturday
afternoon. His liabilities are between
S25. 600 and $4,000; assets unknown.
Mr.. Beckett started in the furniture bus
mess about year ago on Market street
near Eighth. Shortly after. he purchased
the old stand of Samuel Murphey, his
present store.
1t is stated that business favors to
friends and depression in business caused
the failure. Judg ment was confessed to
his principal creditors for SO, 500. Several
other creditors have also obtained judg-
ment. There is large stock in the store
and it is expected that the creditors will
be secured from undue loss, and that the
embarrassment viii only be temporary.
johnson & HAYES, attorne Ys-at-law,
have been appointed trustees, and under
their direction, Sheriff Allen vii, conduct
the business for time, with Mr.. Beckett
in charge. A meeting of the creditors
