IRON SHIP BUILDING.

The Philadelphia Bulletin, in a long arti-
Gle on iron ship building on the Delaware.
gives the following peceof history in rela-
ton to the we'll known firm Of the Harlan
& Hollingsworth Company:
Another noteworthy iron ship building
establishment is that of the " Harlan IL
Hollingsworth Company Of Wilmington,
Delaware.
The first iron steamer built in the United
States was constructed here in 1874, SO that
the Delaware may be set down as the birth
place of American built ships.
This vessel was called the Bangor, and
was built for service on the coast of Maine.
About that time Geo. w. Aspinwall, then
well known in Philadelphia, was interested
in California, aud gave orders for a number
of iron vessels which he had sent to the
Pacific coast, and which yielded him most
profitable returns.
This Company had it's origin in the year
1886, and their first yard covered but two
acres of ground. The original firm was
Belts, Pusey & Harlan. In 1871 Mr. Pussy
retired and the firm became Belts, Harlan
& Hollingsworth. In 1S49 the style was
changed to Harlan & Hollingsworth, ow-
ing to the retiring of Mr.. Belts. In 1858
IL DCCdiuO llsill aI, vi - SoAl-
pany through the admission of J. Taylor
Cause as partner. In 1867 the concern
was incorporated and called the Harlan
& Hollingsworth Company" They are
now occupants of thirty acres of ground, on
which have been erected thirty six build
ings, containing seven steam engines and
machinery and tools of the latest and most
costly character. They have within short
time constructed a magnificent basin dry
dock, capable of docking vessel 80 feet
in length. Their water frontage aggre-
gates 1850 feet, with uniform depth of
= feet.
During the thirty nine years that the
concern has been in existence they have
turned out 16S vessel, which are now scat
tered over the navigable world.
The total valuation of the 16S vessels built
at this yard will not fall much short of $17,-
900, 900 and their construction has given
employment to an average of about 1000
men. The Company have also turned out
a number of marine engines and boilers for
wooden vessels, and also a number o: land
and stationary engines.
1t may here be mentioned, and with pride,
that of all the iron vessels constructed by
the Harlan & Hollingsworth Company, none
have been lost at sea or wrecked, although
some of them have been severely tried, the
.Josephine having been beaten about on the
bar at Las Brazos de Santiago for three days
without starting rivet

A CARD.
ELKToN, Md, Nov. 10th, 1875


EDITOR CECIL WHICH, came to Cecil
county few months ago, as the represent
alive of Edward L. Evans & Co., Central
Nurseries of York, Pa, and having made
the gratifying acquaintance of many of
your citizens, of whom about two hundred
and fifty have been enlisted in our trade,
and being about to leave this county, |
desire to avail myself of the medium of
your valuable paper to convey to them my
thanks for their universal kindness and
open handed hospitality with which have
met every where. | can truthfully say that
during the seventeen years that | have
devoted to the sale of nursery stock, in
States East and West, | was never treated
better. The unanimous expression of en-
| tire satisfaction with the stock which we
have delivered has been to US source of
no small qualification; and we trust and
| fully believe, that we shall as fully receive
the commendation of our patrons Tor the
quality of the fruit when grown, as we
have enjoyed their compliments on the
first-class quality and condition of the
| trees delivered The selection of varie-
| ties. so far as left to us, was made with
our best knowledge of the sorts best suited
to this climate; ana we also faithfully fur
nished, true to name, without substitution,
the varieties desired.
| l go away from here, probably never
again to return among You as the repre-
| sentative of the nursery trade: neverthe-
less, my thoughts shall often revert to the
courtesies and kindnesses which / received
whilst sojourning among you.

A PUBLIC DISGRACE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-It seems not to be known
by the majority of our citizens, that Elkton
is gieen ocer every night at bed, time to hand
| ful Of ro,odies, who do very much rs they
choose without let or hinderance, and who,
when they choose, are guilty of most intol-
cradle disorders. Their doings are mostly
confined to the central portion of the town
and to Main street; hence those persons liv-
! ing away from the chief seat of disorder
are not SO much disturbed. But if their
they surely ought to wake up to the suffer
ngs of their fellow citizens from such an
noyances and realize the great injury thus
done to the prosperity and reputation of the
town.
| l do not attempt to account for this dis
graceful condition of things; only state, or
rather under-state, what know and many
others know, to be q fact.
But | do say emphatically, that the re-
sponslbility for it rests somewhere; and that
those on whom it rests are guilty of a crimi-
nal neglect of duty which ought TO bring
on them the stern vengeance of the Law,
as we'll as the angry censures of an out
ragged community.
Let us hope that in a very short time a
stop may be put to disorders which would
not be tolerated in Hottentot village, and
that effectual steps will soon be taken to
make it possible for the guardians of the
peace to arrest disorderly persons without
the probability of release or rescue; and to
make it impossible for guilty persons to be
ralan laS ! hac haap Nyrttb
without bail, at the Jail door.
| doubt if there be a town or hamlet
this side of "the Black Hills North, East
or South, where idle, worthless and drunken
people are permitted to roam at large through
the streets filling the air with blasphemous
and obscene rawlings, engaging in brawls
and fights and hinderng the needed rest
of the invalid and the strong alike-as they
continually do in this old County Seat Of
one OF Maryiand's best counties.
We have here sixteen or eighteen law
yers, the States Attorney, a body of Town
Commissioners several Magistrates, a Bail
iff and his Assistants, the Sheriff and his
Deputy, and frequently the Governor Of the
State, who is one of our citizens. ehave
here several protraoted sessions of Court
during the year, with three Judges of char.
acter and ability and fairness to preside,
and Grand Juries sworn to consider and
present offenders. Yet, Notwithstanding
all this law, and all this complicated and
costly machinery for enforcing law, | have
to say that Elkton is beyond all compari-
son the most lduless town, for its import
ance and pretensions, embraced within my
somewhat varied experience.
The numerous lawyers seem only to in
crease litigation, and the many executors
of the law seem only to give fuller play to
law breakers.
If relief does not come soon, the aggrieved
citizens of the place may be driven to form
a Vigilance Committee, and take the law
and its violators in their own hands; and
much as l deprecate even the semblance of
"lynch- law" /, for one, should think that
they were justified in SO doing.

THE NATIONAL PRoTEsTANT.-This pop

newspaper. The November number is just
out and presents handsome Topographic

ONE PEACH GROWER WHO DID NOT LOSE
MONEY ON HIS CRoP.-Joseph Day has a
peach farm of about 12, 500 trees near Bo-
hemia Mills, short distance west of Mid
dletown. Eight thousand of these trees
were only three years old and bore but few
peaches. He shipped about 1000 baskets
from Middletown to the different points
named, receiving the prices per basket an
nexed: Chicago, 40 cents; New York, s
cents; Boston, 1Gs cents; Cincinnati, so
cents; Philadelphia, y cents. The above
prices averaged him about &c cents above
all expenses, which was larger return per
acre than could have been obtained from
corn or wheat. He sent nothing but the
best of fruit to market, and thinks that if
all the growers had done the same thing,
there would be no talk now of cutting down
peach orchards. Wilmington Commercial.

DANGEROUS ALL THE TIME.-Every body

it be revolver kept for protection against
thieves, or fowling piece, or the musket

thoughtless young man who thinks it the
style to carry weapon-there is never
ceasing danger so long as it is about the
premises with a load in it. Any innocent
child may get hold of it-any careless or
awkward person may attempt to handle it
any foolish, reckless person may try to
"make fun" with it-any desperate per-
son may be tempted by it. These are points
that the Ledger has tried to press upon the
attention of it's readers time and again, and
they have received a mournful reinforce
ment within the last two or three days in
the distressing casualties by which one

Presbyterian Church, Chesapeake City.

The eighteenth anniversary of the Pres
byterian Church in Chesapeake City, Mary
land, was celebrated on Sunday, November
| It'll, 1878.
At haif-past ten o'clock A. NJ, an hst0ri-
cal sermon was preached by the Minister of
the Church-Rev. Charles Z. Mallory. AT
half past two the scholars and friends of
the Sunday school were addressed by Rev.
w. w. Heberron, of Elkton, and w. H.
Purnell, L. L. D., of Delaware College,
and at : o'clock the congregation listened
to an address by President Purnell.
So far as appears, Presby terrain services
were first held in Chesapeake City, on or
about April 9th, 1857, in the Academy
and were conducted by Rev. John w.
College.
A regularly constituted Church, consist
ing Of eight members and styled the " First
Presbyterian Church Of Chesapeake City"
was organized by committee of the Pres
bytery of Wilmington, on Sunday, Novem-
Der 1st, 1857, at which time Messrs. Thos.
B. Hopper and Lewis .P. Ellison were or
dained Elders.
The congregation occupied the Academy
for about one year, when an invitation was
received from the Methodist brethren of
this town to meet in their church which
was much more commodous and convent
ent.
This invitation was accepted and thus
an arrangement was effected by which the
Methodists and Presbyterians held their
respective services on alternate Sundays in
the same sanctuary.
The Presbyterian Church occupies a lot
of ground given for the purpose, by Rob't
Polk, Esq, formerly of this place. 1t was
erected and furnished at an expense of
about two thousand five hundred dollars,
and was dedicated to the service of God on
Sunday afternoon, January Sth, 1860, Rev.
d. II. Emerson preaching the sermon, and
Rev. George Foot offering the dedicatory
prayer.
The following named Ministers have
! stately preached to this congregation
most of them in connection with labors
elsewhere Rev. Messrs. John w. Mears,
J. McKim Duncan, James McIntire, II. A.
Lounsbery, Chas. H. Ewing, II. Mathews,
Isaac Riley, Daniel g. Mallory, Mr.. Good
sell, John Patton and Isaac o. Sloan.
The pulpit was vacant for more than a
year previous to Sept. 10th, 1869, when
Rev. Chas. p. Mallory (the present supply
commenced preaching here. The Church
roll, from the organization, contains the
names of one hundred and forty nine mem
| bers. OF these, eleven have died, and
twenty six have been dismissed or dropped,
leaving present actual membership of
one hundred and twelve.
