A Tronblewiotne Hull. William Howard, residing in Newton" towuship, Delaware oounty, is the own er of a bull that gives him a great deal of trouble. The bull has a great love for visiting the neighboring farms, and permits n. obstacles, such as lenoes, etc., to frustrate his desires. His hull ship made one of these visits on Friday morning, and compelled his owner to go after him. This ruffled the temper of Mr. Howard, who concluded that he would either kill or cure the bovine of his bad habits. To do this he took with him his old blunderbuss,which he loaded with a big charge of powder and shot. In making the first shot the lead lodged in the face of the bull, wliiuu eiihor stunned or astonished the hull for a few seconds, until the second shot entered his pelt, when he began to take in the situation, and started home at a rate of speed that was truly actonish iug. Six charges were planted into the hide of the bovine, when he took a bee line for his master's barn, leaping fen ces and walls in a manner that would seem to show that he had been in train ing for the Rose Tree raoos. As lie went over the last fence he received th# sixth charge in the rear, which sent him on his way bellowing with pain. EonkiiiK Into <i roil c m.

THE OLD CHURCH. Celebration of She One Hundred ■ad Eiitbtl.tb Analver.ary or Old Swede'. Church. The morning service of the anniver sary of the 014 Swede's ehnroh yester day, was largely attended. Within the .hauoel railing the floral offerings were very leautiful. A quartette, the Misses Conner and Messrs. Rhoads and Ogle, reudered excellent music at the opening. The services were conducted by Rev. W. G. W. Lewis, of Middle town, assisted by Rev. M. Clemson, ef Cl ay mom and the Rector, Dr. Frost. Rsv. W. O. W. Lewis based his re marks upon the Scaiptnral quotation; "The iLurd hath been with «e." In glancing over the Incidents of the 'his tory of the ohuroh there gleamed the words the Lord hath been with us. When the ohuroh was first built this was a land of promise, and when the veioe of praise and prayer had first been heard within these walls these peo ple might have said "This is Kbenezer for the Lord hitherto hath been with to ed uc.' Tho world of one hundred and eighty years ago has been subdued, large uitlos have oeeu built, wars have been prevalent, bnt in the latter God's providential care has been manifested; education, science, prosperity and business depression alike have been noted since the election of this edifice, but in alt these God's hand has been ouj stretched. The men who built this temple, tho fai thfnl pastors who watered and watched for the inerease, those who stood at this ehancal rail in holy wedlock, those who were confirm ed, baptised and partook of the holy sacrament, those who recalled the wavering, knelt at the bedside of the dying, buried the dead, aud sustained tlie mourner are our brethren and now walk in the anti-chamber of Paradise. A great number ef the departed host are unnamed upon tombs here in this | graveyard, but their names,, are placed up#ii the Lamb's Book of Life, aud,they now enjoying the perennial glo ry of God. Ail of our brethren who have died within the period of the his tory of this ohuroh mingle together and sing songs with which our strains cannot compare. As we see what they have accompiahed, their resolution, oenrage and strong sympathies, we may 'well say the Lord hath been with us. Living within the shadow of God's mercy is io realize His mercy. Afflic tions frequently are the atepping stores to glory," our suffering is but for a moment, joy somethin the morning." What matter it if the dark clouds do gather, we fee! the sustaining arm of a loving brother. He is onr Defender to day and forever. As we enter upon the future we should lean upon His and the last message will sound "Ye blessed of My Father enter upon the oys prepared Iron, the foundation of the world." The morning service ooncladed with arm communion. SiixnAr School AExiveesart. In tlio afternoon at the Sunday shool Anniversary the children saug several hymu3 very prettily and Mr. Win. J. Fisher, the Assistant Superin tendent, made a report from which the following figures are taken : The number of scholars in the morning school is 100, which is an increase of since last report, the number of teachers is 15. The average attendance of scholars is 73, and of teachers 12. Tho total amount of offerings since last report is $32.00, and the average amount per Sunday, 70 cents. The receipts are $52.38, and the expendi tures, $44.08, leaving a balance of $7,27 in the treasury. Afternoon school-number of scholars 162, increase of 12; largest attendance, '120; smallest, 40; average, 83. Total offerings, $42.59; average per Sunday, 97; reoeipts, $74.38; expenditnrea, $67 28; balauoe, $8.04. The report went on to state that the addition of an infant department to the Morning School filled a want long felt, It also spoko of an addition to the library of about 80 fine books, for which the School is indebted to the Rector and a warm lady friend of the old church. In cohoiusion the report humbly thanks God for the result of the past years work and implores his aid in the future. Addresses were made by Kev Mr. Dn Bois of Calvary ohuroh, and Dr. Frost, the Rector. S. G TUB SERVIC'D AT NIGHT. At the servios iaat night Dr. Frost, the Rector, spoko of jlie connection be tw;? n Swedish Chnroh in America aud the Protestant Episcopal Chnrch. An Episoopal Church, said he, is on« with a ministry of Bishops, Priests and Deacons.Like this is the Greek Chnroh, the Church of Rome, tho Church of England, tho Episcopal Church in Soot land and Ireland, and the Protestant Episcopal Church in America. Such is the Swedish Church in Europe; stick is not the Methodist or tke Methodist Episcopal Church, for the bishops of that ohuroh trace theft ordiuatiun back te the Apostles. The Swedish Church was Luthraen; but in Germatiy the Lutheran Church was Presbyterian in form, having but no order ofthe ministry, that of priests; no German bishop having taken the side of the Reformation. But in Swe den, as in England, the Bishojis sided with the Reformation, aud the Churoh took the Episcopal form. With tho Swedish colonist, who came to this oountry in 1638, came a ohap of tho Swedish Church. Jo 1® J three missionaries were sent oat by the Swedish Churoh at the de sire of the. colonists, aud one of them was settled here. Under his ministry aid Swedes' Church was bnilt. As the PERlinh colonists increased, they asked and obtained permission to worship in this church, service ill the morning bjing conducted in the Swedish' tongue, and in the afternoon in the English, the Swedish minister oon ducting both services. At last the Swedish language died out and the ohuroh became entirely English. It was, in fact, from the first Lutheran in doctrine, but Episoopal in ministry. It was so with the other .Swedish oharches. They united them , « selves with th. Protestant Episcopal church Id this oountry. As at the morning servioe, the ser vices In the afternoon and evening were well attended. TEACHIKU TEMPED ANGfc. of As or not God Fran.la Murphy** Address Yester day—Talk Inc of Temperance In Chnrch and Open Air. In th# #pen air at DuPont street and Pennsylvania Avenue yesterday after noon Francis Murphy made a temper ance address to abeat four hundred people. He spoke la his asual impres sive and entertaining strain for more than an hour and dwelt particularly upon total abstenzr.ee. The speaker said In opening that the occasion r®iind#4 him of Him, who seldom spoke in temples made witk hands, and who suooeeded so well in teaching man his spiritual worth. It was pleasant to hear of the good work that had been done here In the ef temperance. While it was true that some of the workers in that caise had lallen he besought those who heard hint net to Judge them too harshly too hastily. Let us sap nothing harsh or un«h*rltable of them. Their temptations are great—greater than most of us oan realize. The reformed drunkard loves his oop it is a part of his nature. The temptation and desire is constantly before him, when he makes friends. It is with him all the time and will not down. They do not drink because they are bad, selfish or penurious, it is the ragi.r thirst within them. Very often they meet a friend and are invited to take a drink. If they do this they are obliged to treat hi turn. The speaker proceeded to elude the habit of speaking in strong terms. When a men accepts a treat he mortgages himself to treat in return. In some of the Western States a move had been made to make treating a penal offense. Would that it were such everywhere ? Mr. Murphy now touched upoi the wretchedness brought into the family circle by drink. A husband must have reached a very low depth when a wi ff fears him on account of his slay, ery to rum. Far be it from me to say how much a wife should bear, but she shonld carefully think before deserting her husband for that cause. No effort to reclaim him should be left untried. Make home attractive, and endeavor to treat the erring husband so well and pleasantly that he will not be wooed away to wrong deing. The speaker also said that much harm by this ourse oculd be prevented by the trsiniug of children and urged that boys be induc ed by gentleness to oonfide in their par ents. oause or re a In imagination Mr. Murphy took his hearer# into the family oircle and showed how it was that astray, without meaning to do harm. He spoke of the good fellow who is af ter treating, and who in consequenoe is constantly surrounded by friends. But those friends avail nothing, and only serve to make the shackles of his own bondage tighter. Then with touching pathns the speaker told his own story, fail aud redemption, and related how he had been rescued from the slough of drunkenness. Many tears were shed at the touching narrative. The temptation of drink was so great that he who holds out against it is more a hero than he who reoeived the Southern general's sword at Appomat tox. Considering the harm drink does it is surprising that the damning traffic is allowed. It is time that the great heart and righteous thought of the peo ple were aroused to its suppression. When he oonoluded many people warmly shook the orator by the hand. The meeting closed with the benedic tion by Rev.T. L. Tomkinsou. of men went ed so her AT THE CHURCH OF THE CSVE.VANT. In the evening Mr. Murphy spoke in the Reformed Episoopal ohuroh of the Covenant. The #coasion was the first of a series gospel temperance meetings. A very large audlenoe was present. Mr. George S. Hensel, of th# Temperance Committee of the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. introduced Mr. Murphy. . Mr. Murphy said he was glad to so many gathered to hear him. He spake of the oourtesy shown him by the pastor of the ohuroh, the superin tendent of the Sunday school and members of the ohuroh. The band of temperance workers are like a masonio order. He was not a member of the 196 felt as if he was, and there was singular unison of interest aneng them all. He hoped he ghoul be aided In his temperance la bo s hero by the prayers of the people, and he hoped also that God would bless the meeting just inaugur ated. With reference to the temper anoe work, he said that it was a bless ed duty. The secret of it as well as all other things in life is to do it well, Without a thought of failing, and even should failure OOme, you have the thought that what you did was for the beBt, and are possessed of strength encugh to try again. Mr. Murphy weuton to speak of his own experience for soxietfme, and dwelt npon matters referring to him self until the close of his address. Mr. Hensel then invited those pre sent to sign the pledge, and abont 75 persons availed tbeinBelves of the op portunity. Temperance meetings under Mr. M.'s direction will he held every night this week, excepting Saturday night. Tem perance prayer meetings will be held between 8 and 4 o'olook in the after Ad E*-Ral»l>l'a dental. Rev. S.Rosenberg has called at the Republicas office to say that he has not 1-ft the city but was actively engaged In giving private lessons in Hebrew and German at bis residence No. 20* East Seoond street. He also says that he did not resign his pastorate four weeks ago but on the 2d of April and that his name is not M. but S. Rosen berg. The Republican gives Mr. Rosen berg the benefit of his explanation, only saying that the local was written in accordance with th. information giv riOODB. , n LESSORS ff'KOJf THE GRATE. Synopsl. of ■ Sermon R.llrered Lus Evening by Her. G. W. Miller ■l Grace H. E. Church. An immense congregation assembled at the Grace M. E. Church last evening to listen to a sermon which was preach ed by Rev. G. W. Miller to the ex soldiers. The veterans ocoupied the front seats in the oentre of the edifice. The pastor's desk was draped with the national colors and a large silk fiag was placed at the rear of the pulpit. Th. reverend gentleman obese for his text the first olanseof Judges 5: IS. As Deooration day approaoheth, said he, thoughts and soenes attendant upon the late rebellion are renewed within onr minds. Upon the one hand we be hold freedom and right, upon the other slavery and oppression. We be hold a contest in which four hundred thousand lives wore offered as a sacri fice. The enlistment and the master, the parting of loved ones, tne drill and the march, the construction of earth works, the starving and dying, the final success and the welcome home ail rush upon onr thoughts. The costly monument and humble turf alike hold memories. Let the Grants, Shermans and Sheridans their laurels, but let us not forget the upon whom depended the lofty pinnaolesof honor and glory whioh bestowed upon those Generals. There are lessons taught from tho graves of our heroes. First, the latent grandeur and possi bilities of human nature. When read of their thoughts, the tearful eyes, the throbbing brain, the march, and their splendid heroism, human ture seems to say I ^m not surely ruin ed. This shows a magnificient arebi tecture with beautiful outlines. The soul of man remains a ruin of choice. These men welcomed death for an idea—-the salvation of the nation. Usually men have an intense love for life, but thousands cheerfully dered it with a grandeur that us. They said the cause was worthy of my life. In the heart of men such nobility of character reminds ns of the ancient spirit of Christianity and is the proof of a grand development. Second, The value and affection of home associations. Mementoes of home soothed many tempted hearts. As we see men rushing forward to the charge we say "grand good fellows!" When we see them dying we say "alas, poor fellows!" Thoughts of home sus tained many during the Beat of the battle and in death's hour. They nerved their arms and cheered their hearts. If home associations valuable they should not be overlooked or ridiouled. These tendrils should not be broken, but rather he hoped God would kindle the flatoe. a in jail said are for iff frear was na surren atiiazH3 are so God would kindle the flatoe. No sonl, said he, was shipwreked when the starting point, home, and the goal heaven, were in view. Third, The reality of Christianity a consoling power. Christ was made perfect through suffering. Because Christianity sympathizes with men it has a hold upon them, and thus it id that humanity will never give up the gospel of Christ. When everything else failed to bring a smile to the counte nance of a dying soldier the words "Heaven" and "home" did not. Eter nity alone will reveal what Christianity has done [for our dying soldiers. Eternity possibly will reveal some per sons who were saved in death's hour, but who had previously made no pre tentions to ohristianity. He did not mean to say that Christianity was sy nonomous with patriotism, but he did believe that a pitying Lord would save a soul in the last honr. Fourth, The dnty of oherishing the memory of our departed heroes. They were worthy of immortal memory. Such willingness and loftintsj of is at purpose whioh they exhibited has never in the world's history been exceeded. They are worthy to be ranked with the illus trious men of the past ages and their honor and patriotism rank them with the sons of Sparta. To forget them would be the basest and blackest ingratitude. Mr. Miller continuing said be blush ed for his native State when its Gover nor said at Gettysburg: "Give the sol diers monuments of wood instead of stone, because they will rot quicker, and not irritate the people of the South so much. If the Nation should forget her departed heroes, she will have her crown smitten from her brow and her robes will trail in the dust. Honor them, biaok or white; the God who lor God who made them black made you white, and at the judgment He will not judge by the complexion of the skin but by the complexion of the deeds done. It is the duty of Christianity to pre serve that peace so dearly bought by our dead. That peace was received not b# oomproiniee but by conquest. They died fof a Nation's unity, and when the rivers where they have fought have dried up and when the mountains where they have died are fallen then it will be time to forget thefil. Hr. Wlakley'a vi.asluK Habit. Mr. H.nf.y Wlnkley is a Philadel phian, who baa an office on Market street, aud who resides at the St. Cloud Hotel. Hu is a man of large means, and he is generous iu assisting educa tional and philanthropic work. It is said that last year he gave away—and so quietly gave it that the publio were no wiser for it, although it was the real benifleiary—over $110,000 to vari ous institutions of learning and to charities. Ho is said to have a very pleasing habit of sanding out checks ranging from $500 to $1,000 jnst when philanthropic work begins to fall «ff from the want of funds, aDd frequently he increases his gifts to five aud ten thousand dollars to assist educational schools. Within the past fortnight he has given $25,000 to Andover Thelogi cal seminary, ami a like amount to Tale Theological Seminary. f Precious lee.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the New Castle County Republican Ex ecutive Committee was held on Satur day afternoon in the Lincoln Club room. A resolution providing for the appoint ment of a oommittee of one from each election district in the oonnty was adopted, the names of those appointed to oompose the committee to be reported at the next meeting of the County Com mittee on Saturday, the 5th of June. A motion governing the nomination elec tion for Sheriff and Coroner next Sat urday, was adopted. It provides that the vote of no Democrat shall be receiv ed unless he pledges himself to vote for the successful nominee. The resigna tion of John Bullock, a member of the Committee from the Ninth Ward, acoepted, and on motion of A.'B. Mc Pherson Johnson, James L. Hawkins was elected to fill the Notorloas Jackson. William Green Jackson, col., was be fore the Mayor last night, and John Allen, also colored, complained that at a negro ball in the City Hall on Friday night the prisoner acted disorderly. The trouble arose over a woman named Saliie Cannon, of whom the two men were jealous. Jaokson had put his hand in his pocket and told Alien if he oarne near him he would fix him. The " witness did not knew whether it was a razor or a pistol Jackson put his hand I ^'' in his pocket for, bat he knew of his own knowledge that the man carried I concsaled deadly weapons. The Mayor said that he felt sure from I the testimony that the whole trio— Jaokson, Allen and the Cannon womau —were raising a greater disturbance than the law allows, and that the offi cers were certainly ctoisurable for ne- Th glecting their dnty in not making more arrests.. His Honor then said to Jackson : I "Ton have jnst been released from jail after imprisonment for larceny, and, according to the sentenoe of the Court, should now be wearing a con-1® - vict's jacket." The prisoner laughed at this, and Y, 9 said he guessed it was all right. T "Well," continued the Mayor, "yon are liable to arrest and imprisonment for not being so attired." | H The prisoner answered that the Shsr-1 a iff had I vaoanoy. The retnrns of the nomination election next Saturday were ordered to be telegraph ed or sent to the officers of the County Committee, who will be at the Lincoln Club room on the evening of the elec tion to receive them, and all not sent in on that evening were instructed to he sent to the Secretary of the Commit tee on the Monday following. The Com mittee then adjourned to meet on Sat urday, Juue 5th' at 2 o'clock, iu the Liuoeln Club room. it id The prisoner answered that the Shsr-1 iff had not given him a convict's jacket.
