Gentlemen We have been informed that
you have threatened to prosecute us to the full
extent of the law for making and selling, or
any person for buying or using our stave peach
baskets, on which you claim Letters Patent
Your advertisement in the SMYRNA TINES,
May 3lst, is also intended to prevent the sale
of our stave baskets by threatening any person
who may buy them with legal prosecution.
The peach growers Of this Peninsula have
too long used the stave peach baskets, and
during the last two years been forced to pay
entirely too high prices for them to be easily
frightened by such expedients as you seem to
think will prevent the further use of them un-
less bought of you, at such prices as you may
charge them, now that we are making much
better basket, and selling them at lower prices
| than they have been sold heretofore.
| We desire, however, to inform you that We
are now making our stave peach baskets and
selling them in large numbers to peach grow
ers, who express themselves well pleased with
them. Our orders are daily increasing
LII you desire to test the legality of your
Letters Patent, as claimed on our stave bas ct
you now have the opportunity. We will alsC
furnish you with the names of one or more re
sponslble persons who have bought our baskets
against whom, we are authorized to state, yoI
can also institute suit.

GRACE CHURCH May PARrY.-One of the
events in Wilmington last week was the Grace
Church " May party (unavoidably postponed
until June) held iu Institute Hall by the Sun
day School. The large hall was galy decorat-
ed, with May pole in the centre, canopied
throne, &c. With magnificent music, the
gaily dressed children, in procession headed
by Flora, the Flower Queen &c, went
through some splendid evolutions and crowned
the Queen Of May" The Con,merciai thus
describes the exercises after the crowning:
Amidst much more sweet singing the Flower
Queen, the Floras, the Seasons and the
Months made their offerings, and gracefully
courtesying retired to their appointed posi-
tions on the main floor, where headed by
the Queen of May and the Flower Queen,
they executed an intricate and beautiful grand
march, after which dozen or more of them
each seized on one of the long pendant rib
bons, and they danced merry measure around
the pole to the music Of fine galop, by Ritche'
brass band. Their movement was such a,
co plait the ribbons beautifully on the pole
after which they reversed their movement ant
unwound them when resuming their march
They finally concluded with beautiful "Goot
night song" sung standing in a circle around
the pole.

A PROPOSED STEAMBOAT Co.-An effort
has been made by number of the business
men of this town to purchase steamboat to
run from Smyrna Creek (Rothwells LaDding)
to Philadelphia, but is likely, to fail for the
present. Mes>rs. j. NJ Voshell and j. A.
Cavender proceeded to Baltimore to purchase
the Alice, but found her, in her present condi
ton, unsuited for carrying peaches, and it
would be impossible to alter her in time for the
crop. One may be chartered. The design is to
organize a company, and have boat run per-
manenrly. The following gentlemen have
pledged $1,000 each towards the enterprise

NJ. F.. CHURCH IMPROVEMENTS The build
ing committee of the NJ. 4. Church of this
town met Mr.. John Stewart, architect, of
Phila., yesterday afternoon to decide on the
features of improvement contemplated. The
plan heretofore has been to retain the main
front wall. The committee unanimously de-
cided to take it out. This will give at least 5
feet mora on the audience floor than by the
old plan; and will also put the space on the
first floor in better shape for Sabbath School
purposes. The lecture room will be from 10
to II feet longer. Two large rooms % by II
feet will be secured on the first floor for Infant
and Mission School purposes, also two class
rooms s by IA #. The floor Of the lecture room
will be lowered it,, and seated with circular
benches suitable for Sabbath School classes.
Building plans aud specifications will bo ready
in 10 or Is days. The committee have not YET
decided whether the work shall be done by
contract or superintendency. If by contract
proposals will be made in about 2 weeks.
