To tbe westward were, not counting tbe Delaware, four yachts and yacht-rigged skiffs and about 12 sail boats bearing down in rapid succeKMon toward the buoy, while from the tail ward shore the Tough Head, of Chester, came suddenly into view, and was tbe first to round tbe buoy, at about 4.17$ p.

m. Half a minute afterwards Samuel Moore's ya jbt, the William Ilaxter, followed suit, aod so close was the chase that within tbe next Miss Eleanor E. Wood, daughter of John and, Rachel Wood, living at 512 Orange street, died under painful and peculiar cirosmstanco last Friday after noon about 8 o'clock, On the Friday evening previous, June was stung by some insect, supposed to be seme species 1 of or' bee, on the left temple. The wound was slightly painful at the time aod followed by a small lump, but It was not regarded as serious and no particular attention was paid to it until last Wednesday, when the swelling began to increase rapidly. Three physicians were then called in, who tried every remedy known to i the faculty, but in vain, for their patient grew rapidly worse until she became unconscious and breathed her last, on afternoon.

Miss Wood had been connected with the M. Church for nearly twenty years, and was also earnestly interested in the Sunday school. Iter funeral took place yesterday afternoon. fThe body was taken first to St. Paul's If.

E. Church, where the pastor. Rev. J. H.

Caldwell, preached an affecting funeral serfcion, in the course of which he said: "Her pastor reached her bedside while she was passing through the gates. He felt her hand, but it was cold, and called bet' by name but there was no response, no sign of recognition. A few spasmodic gasps And all was over. No language can toll the anguish of the stricken parents, but prayer was offered in their behalf. Up to the throne whither the disembodied spirit had just ascended every heart was directed in earnest prayer." He then paid a fitting tribute to the piety aua virtues of the deceased.

The remains were interred in Riverview cemetery. Three to One. A middle-aged colored man named John Yining was walking up urange street on Saturday afternoon when he was aRpaulted by three young white fellows, who knocked him down, beat him badly and kicked him several times in the ace7 before at one came up" io interfere. At length Jh man came by who rescued Vising from his assailants, and remarked to the latter. Three to one is not the way we fight in my country." It did not! Appear that there was any provocation on the part of Yin ing.

tlmo of the anxailants, Frederick Ryan ami Alexander ReilJy, were before Mayor Whiteley yesterday evening, who fined them and costs each. Stricken With Paralysis. Mr. James Carswell, a well-known citizen and member of the Levy Court for tbis county, was suddenly stricken ith paralysis last Friday eveninov The attack came upon him while sitting in a chair in tbe yard attached to his residence, No. 1206 Delaware avenue, and he sud denly fell to the ground with his left side completely paralyzed.

He was taken into the bouse and Dr. Law ton summoned, who rendered the neceaarry medioal assistance. On Saturday Dr. Kane was called lo, and yesterday afternoon Mr. Carswell was reported as somewhat better, though his recovery is regarded as doubtful.

Tbe Reliance Bay Party. The bay party, consisting of members of the Reliance Fire Company, which left here On the afternoon of the "Fourth," on the schooner Vanderarift, returned yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock. The trip extended down as far as Kitt's Hammock, On the Delaware shore, and the party, on Saturday night, stopped at Sea Bretze. All enjoyed themselves thor oughly and speak in high terms of the captain and mate of the boat. Fishing was good and several hundred trout were captured.

The Vandergrift is to take several other bay parties out this summer. for auaiiional local newi $ee third page. rmm umlawabb railroad. A Peninsula Peaeb Shipper Stat aaitia Opinion ot It. Editor Every Evening My attention was recently called to an article in your paper under tbe caption Of the "Peach Freight Tariff," giving the views of some of the farmers of western Sussex.

I concur ia their opinions, and heartily endorse the sentiments expressed in favor of the Delaware railroad, believing that the tariff, not only for peaches, but miscellaneous freight, is as uniform and economical as any other line in the country. Every businessman and shipper, I una U.MUIUMU iuu iisau is awuo oi una iaot, ana, prejudice is set aside, cannot bat appreciate and commend the careful and judicious arrangement of the freight schedule. Those who are blind to their own interests or who pander to the dictations of persons wno are actuated by sinister motives in perverting the facta as laid down in tbe tariff list, are disposed to regard this line as an oppressive monopoly." Let us see about this. Some of the lines radiat ing from our large cities or traversing a section ot country comprised principally of rural villages control twice the extent of territory that road does, and have no opposition lines. A careful comparison of the respective schedules clearly indicates a decided preference for the Delaware road.

A package for which this line charges 65 cents for 103 miles, tbe distance to Philadelphia, tbe rate is 85 cents by several of the lines mentioned for the same number of miles with less facility for transportation, a clear difference of per cent. Small packages coating 25 cents by our rline would cost 35 cents to cet it through by the other route, while bulk shipments amounting to $10 or $20 on the Delaware road ranga from $25 to $30 on the others. Even upon some of the collateral branches the charges are greatly in excess of those above quoted, in favor of the Delaware road. I might enumerate indefinitely, but thie will suffloo to dissipate the theory that our line is a monopoly, and will cause every fair-minded Wan to look further into the matter. The patronage and carrying trade of the railroad lines in this country are simply immense, yet there is an entire absence of those unequalad facilities, that courteous and obliging manner.and uniform system of rates that characterize the Del- ware road; and this a great many of tbe farmers, not only of western Sussex, but other parts of the country, have recently discovered.

Annlvrrmry of Household ft'allb Nnsdajr Hrboul. or The Household of Faith Sunday school held its first anniversary yesterday after noon. The exercises were of a highly in terestine and pleasing character, aud were witnessed by a larue aud appreciative audience. In the centre of the platform stood a leafy arch with a flower vase. This together with the many beautiful bouquets, gave to the platform an attractive sp pearance.

The exercises were opened by the sing ins of 'A11 Hail the Power of JesuB' Name," by the school, followed by prayer by ltev. Mr. Kramer. After the Binging of a hymn appropriate to the occasion Safely Through Another Year," the pastor made an interesting address to the school, concluding by presenting Ij. Bower, the very efficient Superinudenf a fide copy of Cruden's Concordance, "Beautious Day" was then Buug by the Watchers' class, followed by a declaim ton entitled "The Moruiug 8tar," nuely delivered by Miss Lillie Hchotteld.

The infant class sang "Glory to God," after which came the reading of "The Changed Cross" by Miss Cora Hartinp, and the singing of "Shout the Glad Tidkgs," by taie choir. I This was followed bv one of the most Bleasine exercises of the afternoon the representation of Faith. Hope and Charity Faith was represented by a cross, hope by an anchor, aud charity by a heart. These were presented by three little girls and attached to the arch with appropriate Scripture quotations. i After the singing of "We'll Stand the Storm," by the school, cauie the recitation of the 23rd Psalm, perfect aeqora, oy the infant class.

"Oh, Had I Wings like a Dove" was well rendered by Rose of Sharon class; they then presented their teacher, Howard Pyle, with beautiful bouquet, which was accepted with a few appropriate words, Jar. Uowcr, the ctuperiutenaent, men stepped forward, holding in his hand large and elegant copy of the American Tract Society's Teachers' Bible.considered the finest edition of Teachers' Bible in the world. All was eager expectation as he announced George W. Ellis, the musical director, the recipient of this gift as token of esteem on the part of the nunday school. He also received a bouquet from Miss Ella Karen, the organist, and youth-and age bouquet, represented by a waving sheaf of wheat with green grapes.

This was the gift of tbe Little Pilgrims, and was presented by Miss Sallie McKsig, a tiny miss of four years. Mr. Samuel Bower received a beautiful motto, "The Lord Will Provide," from his class. Lewis A. Bower, the Superintendent, was presented with a bouquet in wax, from the infant class; Rev.

Mr. Kramer with a fine bouquet, from a scholar, Harris Mrs Kra-iier with a wax cross encased in glass, from her class. John E. Bruce, the Secretary of the school, read the report, from which we clean the following The school was or ganized July 8th, 1S77, Charles B. Betelle, Superintendent; number of scholars present, 128.

The school now numbers lt9 scholars, 21 officers and teachers, and 16 classes in good condition. Amount of money contributed during the year, $108. Two deaths have occurred Lizzie Stokes, aged 13, and Willie Yates, aged 8 years. As memorial on the fleam or these was written and impressively read by Miss EUa Karsb, at the closo of which she presented memorial wreaths iu wax to the afflicted parents. Tbe choir then sang, We Shall Sleep, but Not Forever," after which the audi ence was dismissed with the doxology and benediction.

A Falae Knmor. An inaccurate and careless newspaper is about as baa, at times. as a malicious one. On Saturday the Republican published a statement that Mr. fc.li Garrett, treasurer or the Edge Moor Iron Company, had been stricken with which the only foundation was that Mr.

Garrett was suf fering from an attack of gastritis, or in-flamation of the stomach, from which he was already recovering when the item appeared. The paptr was shown to several of his friends and relatives, who were naturally much alarmed, and it is hardly necessary to say that when their anxiety was relieved by inquiries that they were also indignant at having had their feelings shocked by a piece of carelessness which the slightest inquiry in any proper quarter. on the part of those connected with the paper, would have prevented. Departs re of tn Tnotnaa The new- steamer Thamat Clyde: built by Fusey, Jones left the company's yards about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and goes on her route to-day, running from Philadelphia to Collins' Beach and Bombay Hook.

InS and Mueft RowIn-A tbtster Host iMlma a Prise. This is your boat," said one of tbe company, gathered at Eleventh street, to an Evr.nr EvEitiNo reporter Saturday morning.

The time was abont 8.15 a. and the event of tbe day was the yacht and skiff race on the Delaware from the mouth of the creek to Reedy Island buoy and return. The reporter stepped aboard. Two men took hold of the oars, and the re porter took the tiller, of the management or which be knew about as much as tbe average Hottentot does of tbe internal mechanism of the telephone. However, be managed to steer clear of tbe railroad bridge abutment and get out to tbe mouth of the Brandywine without running aground.

Here a little delusive breeze sprang up and tbe sail was hoisted, and from thence to the lighthouse everything was lovely and anticipations of a day of sport were lying around loose and in pro lusion. Arrived at the lighthouse a goodly num ber of crack skiffs were Keen lying at the wharf, their owners impatiently waiting for 10 clock, the hour at which the race was to begin, "ion had better hurry up with that craft, if you want to get down to the buoy on time," was tbe general advice to the captain of the reportorial skiff, who confidently replied, "We ve got plenty of time. It was now about 9 o'clock, and tbe breeze was light but favorable. So was one of the tides, of which there seemed to the perplexed reporter to be a great many in the Delaware river, running in all sotU of directions. Therefore, wishing the regatta fleet a pleasant day, the captain.

whose first name may as well be set down as "Ben" as anything else, directed the boat to be headed south easterly towards the Jersey coast, and pretty fair time was made across to Deep Water Point. About here, the breeze. which had been gradually dying out, gave up tne guost entirely, and tbe oars were gotten out again. The sun wan blazing down funouHiy upon the trio in the boat, and things did not look half as lovely as they bad done an hour before. The tide, however, seemed fsvorable.

and, in due time, keeping close to tne jersey snore, fennsville was reached and passed and a faint view of New Castle obtained through the misty fog, watch bung over the smooth and sluggish water, rendering it impossible to see a sail more than a mile or so in arjy direction. Small objects, comparatively close at band, looked as if removed to twice their actual distance, viewed through this haze which settled down on the still bosom of the becalmed river, and which there was not tbe faintest ghost of a breeze to dissipate. Tbns it was not until after Captain Ben craft had got well abreast of rinns Point, after scraping, in about six inches of water, over three or four sand bars running out therefrom, that either of the party were able to make out tbe indis tinct form of the Pea Patch on which Fort Delaware is situated, and not until they arrived within less- than half a mile of the island could they distinguish the fort or any of the adjacent buildings. It took a pretty tough pull to bring the boat up to the western shore of the Pea Ftch ana to get around too wharf on that side having done which, as the tide this point was setting up the shore and it required hard exertion to make any advance at all, it was decided to anchor off tbe southeastern corner of tbe island and Ad wait i or a oreeze or a tarn oi the tide or anything else that might turn up. This was accordingly done.

and. after the sail had been turned into a temporary awning, tne mo on the boat proceeded to make themselves as oomfortable as the limited accommodations would admit of. It was boat 11.45 when they cast their anchor, navinflr oeen two hours and three quarters tn coming rrom tne mouth or the creek. Neither of the party were disposed to con siuer tuis very last time, but they were not yet aware that it was going to take them more than twioe that long to get back agiun. The fog had not luted an inch yet.

and there were no hopes of seeing the fleet more than a mile or so off, had it been there to see: but tbe opinion was freely expressed that the regatta would fall through, or at least would not start until a i tide, which was set down for 4 or 5 clock p. m. Hence there appeared to be nothing to do but wait, and the voyagers stretched themselves out under the shade of the sail, and did so. Unfortunately, however, the boat had been anchored in an eddy, and bad a provoking habit of swinging around toward the sun every time the inmat6s got comfortably fixed, and the way they bad to get up and hunt the shady side of that sail every five minutes would have tempted less conscientious persons to profanity. But it was of no use, in tbe absence of a breeze and against the force of such a current, to try to get away from there nothing short of steam power could have done it The surrounding scenery was limited and nothing to brag of.

On three sides was the hazy surface of the stagnant-looking river, with the Jersey coast very dimly visible to the eastward; on the other side the Pea Patch, with its fort, chapel and other build.ngs, wharves and wi low trees. Under one of these a man with a huge straw hat lazily reclined in the shade, and, a short distance above, a pair of sun bonnets would rise above the bank every little while, withdrawing very suddenly as soon as their curious owners saw that they were noticed. An occasional sturgeon would flop up out of the lazy-looking water now and then and disappear again, kaviug a gradually widening circle of ripples behind that doubtless could have been traced for 100 yards at least So the hours passed on, and the blazing sun gradually dried up the fog, until, about 3 o'clock, the first sails of the long-looked for fleet began to come in view within the limits of the reoeding circle of mist They were apparently about a mile above Salem oove.close to the Jersey shore, and advancing at the rate of about a foot a minute. Occasionally a slight puff of wiud would strike the sails of those in advance, and help them oa a few rods, and then seemed to go back to give those in the rear a little iif By 3 30 p. in.

17 yachts aud skiffs were visible, very close together, off Salem cove the rest of the fleet having become discouraged and drawn out of the race, with tbe exoeption of one bold navigator, who, as afterwards appeared, had gone to the Delaware side of the island. In advance and keeping close in shore was a little skiff, with a patched sail, that seemed to hold its own very well, and a littls to the leeward, with all canvas spread, the yacht Delaware, which was not a competitor, was slowly edging along. Suddenly, down through the becalmed fleet, came puffing the little steam yacht Water Witc, which passed steadily on down the rirer and anchored alongside of the bucy, which the dissipated mist now rendered dimly visible over two miles below, at the turniug point of theiace.

Among these were tbe Andrew J. Croat, Ameilca, JlenrU.tUi, Bapha, and Delia D.

King. By 4.2t all the flet appeared to have rounded the buoy and were standing gaily on the homeward tack. For the next hour the race was an exciting one, but a little before o'clock the caprieious wind again refused to blow aod another dead calm settled upon tbe river. By this time the most advauced skiffs had arrived at a point about a mile below New Castle. Bravely they tried to go further, but the fates were against them and their sails flapped idly and use less.

At length, oce after another, they succumbed, furled their sails, gave up tbe race and got out their oars. After a long pull across tbe river, and up, closely bugg ing the New Castle shore, the most of tbe boats came to anchor alongside of the steamboat wharf at New Castle about 7.30 p. m. The yacht Delaware anchored in the river a little below the coal wharf and waited. About three-quarters of an hour afterward a brink breeze from the northeast set in, and in a few moments afterwards the Delaware was flying past the end of the wharf at a tremendous rate of speed, cleaving the water into white foam and dashing the spray around her in showers.

Tbe usual bustle and confusion of getting under way ensued among tbe rest, and a few of the earliest off reached the mouth of the Christiana before this breeze died ont, but the boat in which the reporter was traveling did not by half a mile or more. There was no help for it the light bouse shone brightly a seemingly short distance ahead, but inaccessible by sail, and the oars bad again to be resorted to. Tbe longest and hardest pull of tbe day or night either, now came, aod it was 11.30 p. m. when Csptiin Ben's craft at last came to' anchor alongside of irleventh street bridge.

Tbe regatta was of course a failure. The following are the asmes of tbe boats that started in it: Yacht-rigged vewwls. the" PetrfL FUetinna. Ida May. LUlie and William Darter.

Bail boats, the Wad HampUm, Charlea Irtvrenee, Kapha, Two JJrotnera. George Waahinoton, Marv urutr, ueorge If. MiCvUan, A ndrew J. do, Ella 1st. Henrietta.

and the fleet got off in pretty fair order. Oa the way down many of them did what sculling they corjld with their rudders, and two or three of them, finding near Salem cove that they were not only not making any headway but actually going back ward up tbe river, cast thf ir anchors to hold on to wbat advance tbev bad made. Tbe lough Head, ot Chester, which was the era i to round tbe buoy, arrivtsd at the light boost: a little before 10 p. m. and clai 'ited one of tbe prizes, a set of sails and a pair of oars, the roan in charge asserting that they had sailed over the whole course and complied with all tbe re quirements of the race.

As one cf the conditions, however, was that the course suould have been gone over in daylight, that is. completed before dark, their mand was not complied with. It was also asserted that, on tae way down, between the Fort and Delaware City, they had done a little surreptitious rowing while hidden from tbe sight of the rest of the fleet There is a desire among most of those engaged in the race to try the matter over again, and this will probably be done at aa early date. It is certainly to be hoped that both wind and tide will be more pro pitious next time. LOlsLEGIATK CO TMMSA Tl OJf.

It is not to be presumed that all should be familiar with many terms relating to college life, but those who have friends directly or in directly acquainted with such life should, when in conversation with them, be par ticular about the nse of the nrinciDal terms. First in regard to the institution, the speaker should nouce or ask. if he or she has not already noticed, whether it is customary to refer to it as a college or whether either is permissible.

Thu Brown. Cornell. Miebi'jrtn aad Wssleyan are always spoken of as univer sities. Amherst, Columbia, Dartmouth, Hiiiiiltoo, Lafayette, Princeton, Trinity, Union and Williams usually as colleges. Yale and Harvard formerly as colleges, but now generally as universities.

If one is in doubt whether to sav When did you return from college" or "the university," let him use the proper name of the institution or place, thus When did you leave Amherst? or Cambridge Some may consider this trivial but a reference to such institutions as a "school" is unpardonable. To be sure there may be law. medical and theological schools, but each of the above establishments, as a whole, must be called college or university. Many may laugh at this and say that coilegians are "touchy," but what would housekeeper think and probably remark if some one should speak of her best tablecloth aa a dish-cloth, or ask for a cooky when the cake-basket contained nothing but rich fruit-cake To a college man the simde seems little People should remember that first-class colleges differ greatly from "mouohippic" collegia and boarding schools. The students are not mere boys, but often men and women ia every tease of these words.

Those who make any pretension to culture should receive and act upon this advice in the' most friendly manner. 1 BoiFVKS. A Hallroad la Trouble. Thomas A. 8oott and H.
