| Friday being the anniversary of the estab-
lishmcnt of the /. o. o. f., in the United States
was celebrated by direction of the Most Worthy
Grand Sire of the G. L. of U. s., az a day of
thanksgiving, for the continued unity and pros
perty of the order.
The various lodges of this city celebrated the
day by appropriate religious services in Hanover
street Presbyterian Church.
The members of the order to the number of
about 400 marched in full regalia to the church,
aud almost filed the two tiers of seats next to
the main central aisle.
In the pulpit were Rev. Mr.. Altman, pastor of
the church, Rev DR.. lands, of the First Presby-
terrain church, Rev Mr.. Rittenhousc, of st. Paul's
NJ Z. church, Rev. Mr.. Marsh, of the Second
Baptist church and Rev. Mr.. France of Brandy
wine NJ L. church.
The choir was splendid one and was under
the direction of Mcssrs. Lichtensteiu and Pickels
Enos II. Jefferson, Esq, NJ w. G. NJ, of the
Grand Lodge of Delaware, presided.
The exercises opened by the reading of the
Proclamation of the Grand Master, by Henry
Eckel, Esq.
The choir then sang the ope ming ode and Mr..
Altman made q brief and appropriate prayer.
After more singing by the choir Hon. Joshua
Maris, 7. G. NJ, delivered an exrellcnt address
on the history and character of the order.
From it we gather that the present order wac
established on the 26th Of April, 1919, in Balti-
more, and consisted at first Of single lodge,
that persistent opposition has been made to the
extension of the order by those who do not uu-
derstand its objects, but that from this small be-
| ginning it had increased to its present dimen-
sions Since 1888 II had spent in the United
States, for benefits to members, to widowed fam
lilies, burial of the dead and education of orphans,
the sum Of S1O1l99l1. In the year ending Sep
TENDER, 1866 1t paid out for the same purposes
i6Oa,SSs. In this State the progress Of the or
der has been slow in comparison with Its pro-
gress elsewhere still, since 1916 they have paid
out, for the purposes heretofore stated, $77 1868.
For the last six years they have been paying si5G
annually. Their Grand Lodge was chartered in
1881 and is now established on permanent and
enduring basis.
After the address of Mr.. Maris addresses were
delivered by Rev. DR.. Lands and Rev. Messrs
Marsh, France and Aikman, the addresses being
interspersed with appropriate singing by the
choir.
After the singing Of the closing ode Rev. Mr..
| Rittcnhousc dismissed the congregation with thu
bcncdction, and as they left, the choir sang d
splendid doxology.

about o'clock, John Rooney and Nathan Tully,
two of the workmen in Jessup & Moore's upper
mill Mt Rockland. had an angry alteration while
at work in the mill, in the course of which Room
cy caught up very large awl that is used in sew
ing belts, and stabbed Tully in the abdomen.
The wounded mans life was despaired of when
we last heard from him. A warrant was issued
fol Rooney's arrest, but before constable Dough-

the mills, Rooney had fed Both the parties were
young men.

PLANT PEAS DEEr. theory recently
advocated ofplanting peas very deeply in
the earth, in order to prolong the bearing
capacity of the vines, has been well tested
and found to be correct. A faLmer ploughcd
furrow beam deep; then scattered seed
peas at the bottom, after which he turned
deep iurrow upon them with his plough,
covering them to the depth Of twelve or
fourteen inches They pushed their way
up through the thick mass ofcanh VERY soon.
and instead Of turning yellow at tho bottom.
and dying after the first gathering, they
blossomed and bore until he was tired Of
picking pods. If such a result will Uniform
ly be realized from the plan, re, culture
may be more profitable than hitherto.

EXTENSIVE SALE OF PRopERTY.-The Chris
tiana River Improvement Company have fin
ishcd laying out portion Of their fine property
across the Bfandywine, at Eleventh street, and
will on this day week (May ith) sell all of II ly-
ing between the Brandywine and the Railroad
below Eleventh street. On the property to be
thus exposed at sale is the old mansion house Of
the Jcilries Farm This is really fine building
and as 1t is built in conformity with the newly
laid out streets need not be torn down as so many
such fine old buildings have hadtob be. The other
lots between Tenth and Eleventh Streets are on
high ground, aud are admirably adapted for build
ing lots, either for business establishments or res
licences.
The irregular triangular lot below Tenth street
is partly high ground and partly marsh. 1t looks
as though nature had built 1t for coal yard. 1t
has front of i31 feet on the Brandywine, 2SG
feet on the 2. w. x B. r. Il. and 429 feet on
Tenth street. If the new bridge is built, as we
surely believe it will be- this is the finest site fol
coal and wood yard for the northern portion Of
the city, and lime and lumber depot for the fer.
tile Brandywne Hundred section of the county
that could possibly be found. The terms Of the
sale are easy for purchasers, and the sale is wei
worth the attention of all having any money
whatever TO invest.
