Henry NJ Raisen, colored, who has
just completed a sentence OF ten years,
four months and twenty-six days in
Kent county Jail, was released on
Thursday and Immediately came to
Wilmington. He called at the Evening

that the following be published:
Last Summer when a number Of Sim
gle Takers were confined in Dover Jail
they occupied a cell adjoining Henry
Raisen, a cOlOred man, serving a ten
years sentence, and became well dis
posed toward him. Henry is very in
dignant over his treatment by the jail
authorities in turning him out with
only a shirt and pair of trousers, al
though the law requires them to pro-
vide prisoners with necessary clothing
on their release. But for the kindness
Of Mrs. Harry Richardson, c. A. Bro
theirs and Mrs. n B. Smithers, of
Dover, he would have suffered severely
from the cold.

There is perhaps no night In che

has endowed with more peculiar char

when supernatural influences prevail

The ancient custom did not originate
with the Scotch, as the feast was kept
In the Greek church as early az the

Though not wishing to rob theScotch
folk OF their tradition, IL must be all
