Correspondence Of the Commercially
The new Presbyterian church at Georgetown,
Kent county, Nd, on the heights overlooking
ths beautiful sassafras river, was dedicated on
Sabbath, March Gath. The church is little gem
of architecture, designed by Dixon, Of Baltimore
built upon the site of an old church which stood
more than one hundred years. The dimensions
of the house are "a by As feet with spire 80 feet
in height. The frescoing and furnishing are in
excellent taste. The cost of the whole was about
$4,000.
Three services were held during the Sabbath
in which Rev. DR.. Hammer, of Baltimore, and
Rev. ]. Garland Hammer of Salisbury, Md, took
part. The weather was all that could be desired
and the house was filled to overflowing through
out the day.
The whole balance OF debt remaining, some
$15O0, was pIAmptly assured by friends present,
and thus the church was dedicated free from all
membranes.
The society was only organized last May, Cby
the Presbytsry Of New Castle,) and had beer
worshipping in temporary edifce OF rough

M1LLIoNs-How RILEY AND JOHN ARE THE OWN
ERs OF WILMINGTON.
Here we have it, at last The following item,
which is on its travels around through the
newspapers, explains all:
"Riey and John Springer, of Putnam county,
Ind, are heirs to the Springer estate, on which
the city Of Wilmington is situated. 1t seems
that generations since one of the ancestral
Springers rented an eight-hundred acre farm in
Delaware to German for a term of ninety-nine
years. When the lease expired by limitation no
one was on hand to claim the property, and il
the ancient lease came to light and little in
vestigation into the matter has made the Spring
ers a happy family. The old farm became the
site of Wilmington, Del. the property is now
worth $50 ,OOO and it is said that the title is
perfect"

1he Political Field.

Stress seems to be laid, in some quarters,
upon the importance of candidates for Mayor
being able to make speech. This we regard is
quite unimportant 1t is infinitely better for a
man Of good common sense, when acting as the
official representative of the city, to say a few
well-chosen, heartfelt words, than to wander Oh
in long, tiresome, tedious, ridiculous harangue.
May kind Providence deliver us from all such.
DIR. Camerons ability to speak has been named
but his other qualifications are far more impor-
tant.
William Reynolds, of Newark, publishes a
letter, address to Messrs. Dean Ray, Carries,
and others, in which he respectfully declines to
contest with Messrs. Grubb and Lambson, fer
the Democratic Sheriff nomination.
The letter addressed to Mr.. Fraim, asking
him to be a candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for Mayor, which we stated, few days
ago, was in circulation, is published to-day. Mr..
Fraim replies, consenting to the candidacy.
