Board of Trade.

MEETING OF MANAGERS LAST EVENING.
The regular meeting of the Managers
OF the Board of Trade was held Tuesday
evening, but no business of public inter
eel was transacted. A very interesting
desultory discussion took place, howe yer,
on the subject of the establishment of a
ferry across the Delaware river. There
was a very great variety of opinion
as to the proper place for slip on this
side. Messrs. Head, Garrett and Brad
lord seemed TO think It desirable That the
Terry II established, should run from the
loot of Eleventh street, though Mr.. Head
thought that the south side presented al
most equal advantages. Mr.. Belts was
decidedly In favor of the north side, be-
cause 1t would at the same time give the
city access to Edge Moor. MIR. CToas'
dale, who introduced the Idea Of the
south side into the discussion, insisted
on It's advantages because of the bettei
ground over which to mase a road, anC
The closer proximity of the eastern ter
minus of the ferry TO the business centre
OF the city. Messrs. Jenkins and Ston'
thought II best that the eastern ferrl
sup should be just Inside the mouth o
the Chhsuana on the South side, ant
Mr.. Lea suggested a boat running di
rsctly up to the present whaIves on tn
Christiana on the old plan. Mr.. Gibhon
(of Pussy, Jones 81 Coz said boa
could be built for the purpose not draw
ing over three feet Of water.
From this the member drlfted of int
discussion Of the great necessity Of ad
Rancing our commercial interests, an
the deslrability of the erection of graf
elevator was again spoken of. Withou
doing anything more than talk, however

ARE FIRES A JoKE7-A SARCASTIC LETTER
BYA GRUMBLER.
Editor Of Stat, Journal IL have read
your fiery article against iuceudiarism,
which sounds like the bloodthirsly s..
Paul when he started for Damascus.
However, 1t is properly tempered with
mercy, by providing that the incendiaries
are not to be killed before they are caught.
Ah, there Is the rub, catch 'em. The
Commercial, on the same subject, is more
mild and humane towards those erring
walls OF humanity. IL says; "These
fires are becoming to frequent to be re-
garaed in a serious light" Now, how
ever much fun may be In their frequency
II seems to me that the sufferers will fee
enough.
But the Commercial tells us how the
matter Is to be arrested at once. Namely
The Mayor has offered reward of S20l
for Information which will lead to con
Nlction, &c. By what authority the
Mayor offers a reward does not appear
Al hrst ] was led to think that the Com
msretdl was dealing in irony; but in
reading the following | found my mis-
take, 1t says; "The Mayor has Issued
orders to bis police to arrest all SUSPICION
characters found prowling about al I'M
seasonable hours" Well, we can nov
sleep in peace, for the very heavy reward
OF taOO will lead to conviction for thu
past, and the order TO the police will pre-
vent In the future. Let us look for thl
convictions. Shall we look in vain :

Our special correspondent at the capital
Of Sussex writes us that on Sunday even
ing Rev. A. ID. Davis, pastor of the NJ. E.
Church there, In the course of his sermon
said that during the past year 1879 persons
had been added to the membership OF
the church, that 1t did not owe a

tlon have paid him more money Tor his
services this year than they did last. He
is still Jealous and untiring in his oppo.
sition to intemperance.

STATEMENT FOR THE yEAR ENDING MAR. sp

ABOUT RI. REV. BIsHor LAr.-In the
EDITORS Drawer" OF Harpsr's Adqasins,
for March, we find the. following regard
ing the Ri. Rev. Bishop Lay, of the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese Of Easton,
as illustrating the idea of a Southwestern
preacher as to the forms Of the 2. E.
Church:
Sat one time during the late war our
troops made a sweeping advance through
tions, took possession Of every pfomi-
nent official OF church or State and sent
him back under custody until his status
should be determined. Among the former
was the Ri Rev. DR.. Lay, then Mis-
sionary Bishop of the Protestant Eplseo-
pal Church for that Jurisdiction, and
well known for his Jealous and efficient
labors. The rector of a little parish
at Camden complained of frequent
attacks made upon the discipline and
polity of his church by a Methodist
brother who was mlnisteriug to q
large congregation in the same place.
The bishops temporary detenti1n took
place during q great revival among the
Methodists, and was considered too good
a thing to be lost. Accordingly, the pas
tor of the flock announced 1t, during
evening meeting" thus, "You may
not know, brethren, how these Episco
pals git religion, so I'll tell you. They
have a bishop come around about once
year, and the minister he sets 'em all uI
in row, and the bishop fastens his hand
down Cd to their heads, and that's thu
way they do It but" (making a lonl
psuse) "they can't git no religion now
far Old Abs's got their bishop"

The UNION N. e. PAsToRATE.-The
Wilmington Conference is now in session

Notwithstanding this is not the year for

be several 10 our city. Rev. Mr.. Hill, OF
Union charge, is certainly going to Port
Deposit, and there now appears to be
growing feeling in favor of Rev. Dr.
Matlack going to Union. 4.
