Newark and Avondaie Railroad.


The meeting on last Saturday week, OF odd
Fellows Hall, Newark, of the friends OF the rail-
road from Delaware City to Parkesburg, Pa, BY
way of Newark, was attended by number OF
parties interested, and live interest was mani
tested. John F. Williamson presided, and =. "
Porter served as Secretary. The committee ap-
pointed at a meeting held at Avondalc, about
month ago, to obtain subscriptions among those
interested, reported that the amount necessary
for organization, $4,000, was subscribed. This
is the sum required in Delaware, and the PENN
sylvania parties state that they are ready to 60

further meeting is to be held at Delaware
City, soon, to open the books for generol SUD-
scriptions, and complete the organization oil the
company. 1t will be put in operation under
what is known rs the old charter for the Della
ware City road which was obtained from tho
Legislature of this State several years ago, and
was duly revived through the appointment OF
Commissioners by the Governor, more receHtiy.
1t confers very large privileges, authorizing the
road to run from Delaware City to any point on
the Pennsylvania or Maryland line, and exempt
ing the stock from taxation until the nett receipts
amount to eleven per cent of the capital. Inc
estimated cost of the road from Newark 70 Deii-
ware City is $11 900, per mile, and from Newark
to Parksburg, about $4,000. This, OF course,
includes only the graduation and masonry.

TIE SUSPENSION of George II. Stuart of
Philadelphia, from office and membership
in the Reformed Presbyterian Church, by
the General Synod of that organization,
which recently met at Pittsburg, will be re-
mcmbered. On Monday evening the Pres
hytery Of Pittsburg passed series of reso-
lutions on the subject, the preamble to which
says:--
Whereas, The General Synod of the Re-
formed Presbyterian Church, at its last
meeting held at Pittsburg, did in tho most
dlsorderly, illegal, cruel, partial, and outrage
olis manner resolve to suspend Mr.. George
II. Stuart from Office and membership in the
Church, contrary to all the forms, order and
prrce,lents that have obtained in the admin.
'straion Of decipline in our ecclesiastical
organ zalion.
From which we infer that the Pittsburg
Presbytery does not approve OF the action
of the Synod.
