AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.

Ex.Secretary of state n. u. smithers Joins
Wesley NJ. Il. Church, Dover, AS Pro-
bationer-His Remarks on the Occasion.
Penirsula Methodist
Sunday morning, the 18th ult., at
the close of his sermon in Wesley NJ.
4. Church, Dover, on the text, This
is faithful saying and worthy of all
acceptation, that Christ Jesus came
into the world to save Sinners" the
pastor, DR.. W. Il. s. Murray, gave an
invitation TO any present who had not
yet accepted Christ Jesus as personal
Saviour, to come forward to the altar
and there confess their faith in Jesus.
Immediately an elderly gentleman,
one of the ablest and most highly re-
spected lawyers in the State, Hon. N.
B. Smithers, secretary of State for
Delaware under the late Gov Joshua
ii. Marvil, arose and came forward, and
grasping the PASTORS hand, asked the
privilege of addressing few words to
the congregation. He then briefly
referred to the long and severe mental
conflicts through which he had passed
but "now," said he, II have come to
the deliberate and firm conviction that
my only hope for salvation is in Christ
Jesus, who came into the world to save
sinners 1t is my desire to join this
church as probationer; and | solicit
your earnest prayers in my behalf. "
The effect upon the congregation
was thrilling. Resident in the town
for most Of his life, well known and
universally respected for his sterling
character and eminent abilities, a
regular attendant on church sevices,
and generous supporter of the insti-
tutions of religion, Mr.. Smithers was
regarded as model moralist; and this
public confession of his need of a
Saviour, and his faith in the Lord
Jesus, was a most delightful surprise
TO all. Not only did he thus confess
Christ before men, but in the privacy
of his home, the family altar has been
erected and on it the sacrifices of prayer
and praise are daily offered.
| This gentlemen, now in the nth year
| OF his age, is the greatgrandson OF Mr..
John Smithers, whose heart was touched
under the preaching of Freedom Gar
rettson at "Shaw's," in 1778, and at
| whose invitation Mr.. Garrettson, then
a young man of 26, visited Dover and
preached the first Methodist sermon in
that place, in the afternoon of Septem.

Mr.. Smithers is also lineal de-
scendant Of Philip Barratt, the friend
of Asbury, and the builder of Barratt's
Chapel, some 10 miles from. Dover; his
mother, Susan Fisher Barratt, being
the granddaughter of Mr. Barratt.
The name he bears, Nathaniel Bar
raft Smithers, was given him in recog'
milton of this interesting genealogy.

A FIVE BAL1 GAME.
Media Defeats Rockford in GENUINE
IanRme ConlasL.

League Contest.
The strong Media team defeated
Rockford in the best and most in
teresting base-ba game Of the season
in this city Thursday. The teams were
evenly matched and the playing was
close and snappy. The pitchers were
at their best and safe hits were scarce.
There was plenty of coaching and the
600 spectators were kept on edge from
beginning to the end. The. most not
able features of the game were the
double play participated in by Nc
Kenzie, Beggs and Mcdaniel and the
sensational catch of Smith against the
right-field fence with men on second
and third, thereby retiring the side.
Smith also made home run afterwards,
which won the game for Media. Beggs
and Mckenzie also put up great ball
for Rockford.
"Cheese'' Anderson, formerly Of
this city, played second base for the
visitors. The Medals had quite an
array of pitchers on their staff Band,
Noblitt, Everson, Plummer and 'Phe-
nomenal" John Smith. Band started
the game for the visitors, and pitched
fine ball until the fifth inning, when
he hurt his hand, and Noblitt finished
the game in fine style. Rhoads also
pitched League ball for Rockford, and
the six hits credited against him were
scattered. Media made their first run
in the third inning. Toman hit to
third, Calhoun made poor throw to
first and Tomsn was safe at second.
Smith sacrificed him to third, Ander-
son drew base on balls and stole
second. Armstrong threw to second to
catch Anderson, and Toman got home
with the first run of the game on a
close call Their other run was Smith IS
from Dagger over the fence. Rockford
made their only run ON two Dagger
by Armstrong and single by Beggs.
