.Snndoy 1iuins--At a meeting Of the Will
lnilgton and Western Railway, Co, on Tuesday
hast, II was decided TO run church trains during
the summer. TO accomm odate oil train
should leave Wilmington and Landanburg at
seven in the morning, and also at five or six in
the evening, making two trains each way, and
at same time allowing all employees abundant
time to attend church and sabbath school, who
desire to do so. The arrangement should be
such as to permit all TO have the greater part OF
the day for their own enjoyment.
For COiOrddd.-Our friend Robert r. Ii.
Rothwell, formerly of Middletown, has started
for Greeley, Colorado, with a view of settling
in that place. We wish him safe journey, and
fortunate career, bnt m aking home in a new
country Is generally attended with hard work
and privatioh that are not altogether desirable
The only thing in favor of the new states and ter
ritol1es is that the appreciation of the price Of
land Is calculated to make all comfortable who
can manage To geta tootholl upon 1t.

no way responsible for the affair. We presume.
however that the gentleman managing IL has
full confidence in his own abilities, and the ar.

ton as eau be expected from 'tilt" in this

NeU Ferry.--Messrs. Perkins & Welde of
this city, have established in conjunction with
Jay Gould, the protector of the new line of
| railroad from the South TO New York, ferry
across the Delaware Bay from Bombay Hook
to Bayside-a village in New Jersey-the ter.
mination on the Jersey side of the railroad TO
New York. The ferry boat now makes trips
regularly twice day. The residents of the
towns of the lower part of New Castle, Kent
and Sussex, we are informed can reach New
York much sooner by that route than by that
at present travelled.
Deidcare Chy.-The reports in regard to
the shoal water at Delaware City, are entirely
iallacous. The main ship channel is within a
few yards of the wharves there, and arrange.
ments may readily be made for vessels of all
sizes to take in or discharges freight. The Penn.
sylvania X. X. Co. have instructor their attor-
ney to close negotiations with the Improvement
Co. for the purchase of 100 acres, at $40 900,
with frontage OF 1000 feet on the river i'm
mediately above the town. large force of
men is balasting the road and getting ready
for operat ton, Delaware City stock is looking
up, and every one feels that new era in bust
ness Is at hand.
Nec 1olcn.-The construction of railroad
TO Bombay Hook, will most probably lead to
the building of town at that place. As our
former townsman, Henry N. Wickersham, ESQ.,,
suggested that tue prospective city shall be
christened 'Wickersham." The facilities for
trade to New York and Philadelphia, by boats
of all descriptions, and the connectisn by rail
with the South, will contributed its importance.
The land is highly productive, and through the
efforts of Mr. Wickersham and others,is becom-
ing very valuable. In future number we may
possibly give glowing description of the great
'city of Wickershan located at Bombay Hook
on Delaware Bay.
Fashionable Wedding.-A fashionable we'd
ding took place at the NJ. E. Church in Odessa,
on Tuesday, the 9th inst. which attracted
great interest throughout the ontire neighbour
hood. The church was filed with young peo-
Pile on the occasion. The Groom, Mr.. Jacob q.
Wilson, of Philadelphia, was attended with
three groomsmen, dressed in the height of FASH
ion; and the bride, Miss Saddle c., daughter of
John Mccoy, Esq, by three bridesmaids, dres-
sed in white. and presenting very pretty APP
pearance. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. ]. L. Bryan. After the knot had been
securely tied, the party repaired TO the residence
of the brides parents where cream, cakes and
fruit were dispensed with liberal hand. The
bridal party took the half-past two train from
