A Bolt of lightning.

The wave of low barometer that de-
velOped so many cyclones and electric
currents from the West to the East on
Thursday and Friday made q dip at
Smyrna, giving us three heavy rains,
and a greater water fall than at any
time since last summer. In the heavy
shower that fell on Thursday night. or
rather between 2 and 8 O'Clock on Fri
day morning, bolt of lightning fell on
the house of John H. Bewley, entered
the top of the dormeF window, tearing
the whole sash into splinteFs, going out
at the bottom of the window to the
waterspOut and thence to the ground.
The curtain that hung at the window
was torn into shreds and lambrequin
close by was torn and twisted around
a pole. 1t was indeed a singular thing
that the lightning that should enter at
the top should And It's way out at the
bottom and thence to the ground. The
hole that it made in entering was the
size of Q large bullet, but where it
made its exit, the size of fist. 1t is a
singular thing that the curtain that
was so ribbOned and some Of it thrown
q distance of twelve and fifteen feet
was not set on FIRE. The hoe through
the window casing did heye a scorcbed
appearance.
Mr.. Bewley was absent at Doyer at
tending to his duties as Recorder, and
his family was very much frightened
at the crash, but did not know the
house had been struck until next
morning. The report appeared as
loud to nearly every other resident o

A Singular Coincidence.

At the time of organization of the
Lodge of A. o. U. w. in this town in
November, last, it became necessary to
give it a name, several being suggest
ed, and finally the word Mizpah, which
was thought by its definition to be
very appropriate, was unanimously
agreed upon. The numbers of the
lodges being given in rotation, and
this being the 10th organized in the
State, it was therefore called Mizpah
Lodge No. 16, Ancient Order United
WOrkmen, no one thinking at the
time that there existed another lodge
of the exact name and number in this
or any other jurisdiction. Such was,
however, the case, as few days ago
the lodge here received a cOmmunica-
tiOn from. lodge in Massachusetts
stating that they had been very much
surprised indeed to learn that the
lodge here bore the same name and
number of theirs. As it was a very
remarkable coincidence, and as they
were the senior lodge, they thought il
| proper to in some way make Fecogni.
ton of the fact, and that they haC
therefore with brOtherly regard and
best wishes, forwarded by express an
ivory gavil, which was yesterday re
ceived, and upon which is engraved
presented to Mizpah Lodge, No. 16
A. o. U. W., of Smyrna, Del, by Miz
pah Lodge, No. 16, A. o. U. W., o
Maiden, Mass, $780,"
it sometimes occurs that the differ
ent lodges bear the same name, bu
we have never known a similar case t.
this, where the name, number an,
order were the same.
The definition of the YOrd Mizpal
will be found in Genesis, XXI, 40.

THE Farmers Meeting held at the
Town Hall on Saturday afternoon was
a success, as such meetings are, in con-
distinction to a political meeting.
They met in the neighborhood of
hundred, organized, expression of
opinion uttered by several, resolutions
passed, but there was an evident lack
of unifcation. They attended, many
of them, with the demeanor of specta-
tors-lookers on; and not few who
have a constitutional fear of everything
new and not labeled, acted very much
as if they were afraid to touch the
thing they possibly might get burnt.
Quite a number would go and listen
awhile, but leave in squads before an
opportunity was offered for an express
sion of opinion on any given subject, to
talk on the streets of the hardships and
i'll luck in farming; and declaring that
farmers will not unite and commit
themselves to a business policy in their
interests like other branches of bust.
ness. 1t is unnecessary to say that
such half-heartedness will not accom-
plish anything, and those who act Sc
are the ones who most frequently
bring the charge against themselves
This characteristic was noticed in The
meetings of other years in reference t.
the peach basket, marketing peache
&c. Until the farmers feel a common
interest as a class nothing can bind then
together with a strength akin to pOlii
cal ties; they must lack that force neces
sary to institute reforms.

The annual session of the Whining |
ton Conference held at Wilmington the !
past week has been a centre of interest
for the mass of the population of the
entire Peninsula. These sessions are
always interesting, but the present ses-
sion, its 22d, has been characterized by
a vigor and independence, such as is
manifested by the young man who has
passed through the period of tutelage,
reached his majority, and is standing
on the plain where men hold sway.
That they are independent, capable and
self reliant, more than one Of the vis-
itors was fully apprised. Those of the
latter. who, in travelling from Confer
ence to Conference, if they expected to
find the Wilmington Conference a pli-
able, gullible, ready-receiving and all
enduring set, must have gone away
with different ideas.
This was manifestly so with Rev.
DR.. Gray, of the West, who came in
the interest of the 'Freedman's Aid
Society,"" who was stirred up and put
on the defensive as never before by
Rev. Vaughn S. Collins in a speech as
keen as a Damascus blade complain
ing of the injustice cf the demands on
the little Wilmington Conference. He
may have taken the wrong time to
attack the great secretaries, but as DR..
Jacob Todd said, "a little lightning
now and then is necessary to clear the
atmosphere"
Another move and a most proper
one was to prevent the visitors, all lead
ing men representing great interests
trespassing on the time of the Confer
ence, thus prolOnging its sessions and
adding to the burdens of the families
who do the entertaining. Hereafter
they are to have two afternoons, and
must be present and plead their casei
at that time or go without. The mum
Der of these visitors was never so grea
before, and if allowed full swing, would
have consumed half the time of tn,
Conference.
The anniversary business has ais,
grown into excess and a.1wds all tn
spare time. The whole time nearly
in and out of the regular session wa
taken up by business; everything ina,
an air of business, and the Gospel wa
in the press of matter crowded into th
background. An expression was mad
by the people of Milford that the
would have preferred more preachin
and less platform work, and though
the Conference could have arrange
for a sermon at least every othe
night.
The conference is growing as rapiC
ly in numbers as in intellectual strengt
and force,-faster than the towr
that are looked to to do the entertain
ing. 1t started twenty-one years az
with one hundred and twenty or thirt
names; the list of persons at the pre-
enb Conference ran up to to PAS, an
there were over fifty more visitir
ministers who were entertained frol
one to four days.
Including the wives of preachers an
friends, there were between 800 ar
400 persons to entertain for a wee
the careful housewives providing Il
fare like feast. It will soon be
question of endurance, and the roll
those to be entertained had better
keptdown to g minimum. The Philad'
phia Conference which adjourned Ia
week, because of its size, for the I'll
time in its history had no place to a

Pew p G. Warren. Sunday.

twas sannounced in our last issue that
Rev. RobertWa.t would come from the
Conference to fill the pulpit of the Rev.
Mr.. Wilson on Sunday, but instead
Rev. BENZ. G. Warren, for the past
three years at Deals Island but trans
ferred to the New York Conference at
this session, was sent in his place.
Both were entire strangers to our pull
pit, but it is due to him who did come
to saw that his ministrations were in
every way thoroughly pleasing, and
more than met the expectations of his
large audiences.
His text in the morning was from
the First Epistle general of John, iii, :
-"Whosoever is born of God doth
not commit sin, for his seed remaineth
in him: and he cannot sin, because he
is born of God" We have not time
nor space to attempt a synopsis fur
ther than to say that with keenness
of perception, force of logic, strong
exposition, and with all, an elegance
of diction that might be termed graphic
in its spiritual application, the text
was swept of its paradOxes and made
the illuminated and ,spirit-quickened
word.
At night the house was filed to it:
utmost seating capacity, the preacher
taking for his text Ezekiel i, 81. latter
clause of the verse, For the spirit o
the living creation was in the wheel.
1t was a delineation of Ezekiel's vision
and an explanation of its various
symbols, as setting forth the prOvi
dences of God, the pivotal one beinl
the "wheel in the middle of wheel
through which God in answer t
prayer and supplicatiOn above hi
general laws, revealed himself in spec
ial prOvidences. The subject Will
requiring a vigorous mental grip, ais
admitted of the higher order of rhet
oric and the fervid glow of a quickene
imagination clothed in the ready word
of natural orator.
The speaker unfOlds his thoughts s
as to engage the closest attention G
the educated, while they are made 81
lucid and plain that the uneducatet
grasp the subject and follow it fror
point to point with the charm tina
would come from outlining varie
but beautiful landscape. 1t is raj
indeed to find a preacher who has th
faculty to so please everybody.
He is of the family of Warrens abor
Frederick, where he was born an
raised, and entered the Wilmingto
, Conference in 1882. 1t is with regr,
that the people see young men of h
mental cast being transferred to mort
ern conferences.

Obituaries.

Harry L. Collins, one of our we'll
known citizens, died at his residence
in this town on Saturday morning last
in the 10th year OF his age. He was
the only son of w. B. Collins, and
grew up and was associated with him
in business, though giving his atten-
tion to telgraphing largely until his
health failed, several years ago. He
was delcately constituted, and for five
or more years has been in very poor
health, mainly from dyspepsia, all
remedies and expedients seeming to
fail. His death was unexpected at
the time, as he was only slightly worse
than usual.
Some eighteen years ago he married
Margaret, daughter of Moses Price,
who with an only son survives him.
He became a member of the NJ. E.
Church some fourteen years ago. A
number of relatives and friends at
tended the remains to the Odd Eel
lows Cemetery yesterday for inter
ment.
Rev. Herman Roe oficiated in the
absence of the pastor.
Rachel F., wife of John FARRELL, died
at their home in ThorOughfare Neck
on Saturday in her SD year and was
buried yesterday at Friendship GENE,
terry. Mr.. and Mrs. FARRELL clung tC
the simple, honest habits of their early
life, and had the respect and esteem o
the entire community. The deceased
was one of the most faithful member
of Friendship church.
