pital is favoraby contemplated, as the establish.
mept Of such an institution is ah'3luteig neces-
sary.
The subject Of an increased supply oi water,
for the use of the city, alsu under consderai.on
or rather in process Of solution, the probable
rapid increase of our population, rendering the
subject one Of great importance.
Comparing our city and the Cbrlsiiana, with
GLASGOW and the Clyde, and contrasting the su-
perior advantages enjoyed by the workmen IN
this country, with the demoralzed condition OF
labor in Great Britain,the prediction isindulged
in. that ere long, the amount VI iron maniiiac'
tured shalt increase from II ,000io 100000 tons
and the number Of workmem employed in snip
building from 800 TO 10000.
Another subject Of importance Is he preser-
valion and Improvement OF the Christiana, now
the source oi all our present and prospective
greatness. Without il, all our advantages dis
appear, or sink into insignlicance, and therefore
it should be carefully guarded from aIl en-
croachmeni and interference, and every scheme
proposed for its improvement be subjected 10
the closest examination before being adopted and
carried out.
On the whole, the friends of Wilmington,
progress and growth have nothing to discourage
them in the present outlook, but much to en-
courage them to persevere in developing our
resources.
The steady and apparently permanent growth
Of the city, ought to continue, from year TO year,
in an increasing ratio, and will do so, if We OF
this Board win but do our duty, and work
together. The records Of this year have been
satisfactory. Shall the records Of the coming
year be also? Our own efforts must answer.
Attached TO the report is an interesting table
of statistics showing the capital annually EN-.
ployed in this city, the value of articles produced
The value Of the ci,y's real estate, and many
other items of interest.

Mr.. Editor ALLOW mo through tho
columns Of your neat end widely spread
paper TO give m account Of the Sunday
School Christmas Tree in tho new NJ. u.
Church a. Townsend. Ii a e.
One Of our Sabbath School lsdies. lsw
days before Christmas. proposed that ss
have y Christmas tree for She Sunday
School scholars. The proposisiou Vas Inn
mediatcly concurred 10, aud 10 work We
went TO prepare for the occasion; and ~
our school numbers sixty scholars or more
preparation to mske, -bu. through the sc,
tive eforts Of the supcrintendeps sud
teachers. . beautiful pine tree was selected
and placed in the chuych. aud on Christ
mas morning the decoration Of the tree
was commenced. aud 30 numerous were
the presents that the branches Of the tree
bent down like weeping willow. Bag
after bag Of the finest candy. dolls. and
many other beautiful presents hung there
on, aud at the base Of the tree Iay many
bundles neatly tied up containing all kinds
Of wearing apparel. shoes, az. The cloth
ing was purchased for the poor children
belonging to the Sunday School, (Mr
Chas. Tatman, Jr. kindly gave us dress
pattern as a donation, which the school
takes this method to publicly thank him. j
At "a o'clock, F. NJ. the church door was
thrown open und in rushed the children,
eager to see the beautiful tree and pres.
ents and a, 8 o'clock the church was GIL.
ed with the children aud friends Of the
school.
The exercises were then opened by y
Is. Maloney, superintendent, with singing
aud prayer. Mr.. r. Townsend then be-
ing called upon arose aud delivered a nca,
address. The speaker gaso nn account OF
the origin Of the Sunday School, its nd.
vnncencn,. and the grcat necessity Of a
cooperation on the part OF the parents Of
the children with the teachers of .he Sun.
day School so that the school may become
more interesting. aud the great cause oI
Christianity be spread in this vicinity
The address was interesting throughout
Short addresses were also made by A. In.
gram aud A. Finley, after which the dis.
tribuiiou Of the presents commenced. and
il would have done your heart good tt
| nave seen tue eager looks anu outstreiched
hands Of the children as their names wcr,
called and the presents distributed to them
1t ,o,k nearly two hosrs 10 distribute the
presents, after which the exercises wcr,
closed with prayer by J G. Hutchinson.
The affair was complete success. nnt
when We looked at many Of the poor lit,l,
thin clad children, leaving the church Will
bags Of candy in their hands and bundle
Of clothing under their arms, we felt in
measure that We were what our creator iu
tended us TO bca blessing TO the poo
and fathcrless. And may the readers .
this letter ever remember I" That hc ,ha
