Welcome to Blakop Lee.
ANNUAL OATII Kill NO OF TUB P. U BUM
I 1>AY SCHOOLS— ADDRESS OF WKLCOliM
iticsroNHK nr hihhop lkb, btc.
I The occasion of the annual gathering
©f the children of the Protestant Episco
, p a i Sunday Schools, which took place '
l lhe Grand Opera House, last evening,
I ma 4 e doubly attractive by assuming
1ph* 1 ** 0 of a welcome to Bishop Lee,
I who only recently returned from atrip
to Europe. The attendance was very
' large, completely filling the Opera House,
op stairs aud dowu, and the stage was oc
cupied bv a number of the clergy and
laity of the church including Bishop Lee
: and Bishop Stevens, of Pennsylvania.
Rev. W. J. Frost, D. D., of Trinity
Chapel, conducted the exercises, which
I opened with the usual church services,
: alter which Rev. T. Gardiner Littell, of
1 Ht. John's Church, arose and rcud to
B shop Lee the following
j A DDKKSS OF WBLOOMH.
; Right Rcvertwi Father:
I I am charged with the most grateful
°f wtJ looming you homo in the name
I of the superintendents, teachers and
j scholars or our Hund.iy Schools.
i n Henry the .Second's progress through
.Germany, while other courtiers came
I with their treasures, Couuf Aismsbery
brought his children, and presented
them to Lis sovereign as the most valua
ble ottering ho had to bestow. And is it
not most fitting that we bring to you to
j night the Church's children?
j are of the family, could we rej
out them? It is not the best, the hear
tiest welcome, to assure our Chief Shep
herd that, from the fiock over which the
Holy Ghost hath made him ovor-eer, the
lambs are not wanting?
None reognizes more fully than your
self the truth that we raunot better luain
utegrity of »lie saviour's teach
ing couorning his realm, than by caring
for such as are "of the Kingdom of
•u." if we offer congratulations
and give thanks lor your safe return, we
know that you will especially rejoice to
hear, firsr, children's songs of praise to
the Great Father above, und yourself to
stimulate th* lr cry in the Temple,
"Ilosautia to the son of David !" At the
same time,in sweet strains of one of their
own elder sisters, and with the Church's
thanksgivings, they bless God for your
coining again.
Wo remember the thrilling story of
that city approached by an army which
it had no power to rosist. The wisdom
of every counsellor was utterly ai fault,
until one proposed that the children be
sent to plead for mercy. Would not the
enemy oe reminded of his own little ones
and his heart he softened? Two thou
sand set out iu procession from the city
gate; and, after a sickening suspense of
parents and friends, returned, waving
branches and shouting that the hostile
army would withdraw and they were
safe. And we think that this army of the
young here to-night mean to say that, un
der your leadership, they will do the.r
part in the spiritual warfare for the City
or God. 'And we think that, in turn, the
gentle, but irresistible, importunity of the
denenileut child, will ever prompt us to
still more devoted obedience to tn
iour's injunction, "Feed my lambs."
In your abseuce you have heeu follow
ed by many prayers. Now, as we wel
come you again, we pledge to you our
constant aud earnest peiitions, as in the
past, for Divine blessings upon your
work. God speed you in what you do
for all the Church's children.

Special to the Gazette.
Dover, Oct. 22, 1878.
This part of the State was visited by a
terribl« storm of wind and rain last night.
At about 9 o'clock the rain began to fall
here, and continued until about half past
twelve, when the wind began to rise,and
continued getting higher and higher un
til at about four o'clock this morning, it
blew almost a perfect hurricane,
clatter ami hanging was almost infernal,
and the shrill pipings of the wind, high
above all, made a perfect pandemonium
which continued until daylight when the
wind lulled slightly and continued to go
down until noon to-day, when it became
perfectly calm.
Already reports of damages to lite and
property begin to come in from all quar
ters. The damages will he particularly
heavy along the hay shore and marshes,
where an ahnonnully high tide was super
added to the terror of the storm. The
tide rose to a height unprecedented,
Hooding the marshes to a depth of eight
or Urn feet. It is currently repotted that
several men lost their lives
near Leipsic, where a number of persons
were cutting salt hay. Several persons
who were known to be on the marshes,
are missing and it is generally supposed
that they are drowned. Several narrow
esctti>es are reported. One party of hay
makers were asleep in a shanty, awoke
to find themselves afloat in Leipslc creek
and had to swim for it. One of the
missing men, D. Hancock, was in this
party and it is supposed was drowned.
All the cattle on the marshes, of which
there were a very large number were
drowned, at least the greater part of them.
A large number of vessels are reported
ashore on the marshes, among them a
large grain schooner, and a large number
of the oyster navy, that took refuge in
Mahon's River, and were forced from
their anchorage. A small oyster pungy
carried
'lir
the marshes
belonging to Captain Dodd w
across the marsh to Sapp's landing in a
northwesterly direction, nearly five miles
to the mainland. All along the marshes
there have been heavy losses, and it is
feared in many places a loss of life, as a
great many persons were on the marsh,
and the tide 4idden and unexpectedly
high.
At Frederica the steeple of the M. E.
Church, was blown off and fell in the
street, several houses in the town and
hams in the country around were injur
ed.
At Magnolia, Camden, Wyoming, and
other towns below- come reports of small
damages to buildings.
At Little Creek landing, the tide was
so high that the town was partially under
water ami the streets could be navigated
by boats.
The telegraph wires between Dover
and Wilmington, were down this morn
ing, and the train down, that should have
reached here at 11.19, did not get here
until 3.15.
At Dover the principal losses in the
town proper are in the beautiful shade
trees which adorn the streets, a large
number of which are torn almost to
pieces. The public square is almost denu
ded oi the fine trees it has taken so many
to raise, and many of the finest
Besides

trees on State street are down,
this there is no damage beyond the break
ing of glass and tearing off* of a few
shingles and awnings.
At the Fair grounds, near tow n, the
damage was very considerable. llie
