THE PENNSGROTE FERRY.

THE PRESTON TO BE WITHDRAWN THIS
MONTH.
The steamer Alice Preston, which has
done excellen. service during the past sum
mer as ferry-boat between this city and
Pennsgrove, will be withdrawn at the end
of this month and laid up for month. We
are informed that the ferry has been reas-
onaply successful, and that either the same
or better boat will be put on next season.
The freight business is now nearly at stand
still, and is not likely to last sufficiently
strong later than the 1st of November,
hence the withdrawal.
As next year is the Centennial, and to
Wilmington and thence to Philadelphia is
the best way for the Pennsgrove people and
the inhabitants Of the surrounding country
to get to the exposition, it is quite likely
that two, if not more boats will be needed
to accommodate the freight and passengers
between Wilmington and Pennsgrove.

TOUR OF THE YARDS-THE II. & II. YARDS
BUsY-GENERAL NOTES.
Ship building is probably as imports ant
an interest as Wilmington can boast, and il
is gratifying to note at this particularly dull
time that at least in one instance there is a
noticeable activity in at least one of the
ship-yards of the Christiana.
A HERALD reporter yesterday made a
brief tour of the ship-yards on the river
frst visiting the yards of the Harlan 4 Hol.
lingsworth Company. A very marked ac-
tiyity was noticeable, and the merry ring OF
hammer and the alze from one end of the
yards to the Other, spoke of work for the
mechanic AMI comfortable homes and food
for their families more plainly than i. could
have been told us at headquarters.
Preparations are being made for the lay
ing of the keel for one of the new Morgan
steamships, to be built during the coming
winter months, and an extra number OF
hands have been engaged, and are now en-
ployed, with prospect in a few days OF
another increase. WORK on the new Glou-
cester ferry boat is being pushed, and she
will be ready to leave in assou. two weeks.
The new lighthouse ship fer New Orleans
Is being rapidly completed, and slowly hut
surely, and carefully, the new United
States sloop of war is being finished, but tn.
work is SO particular that some time vii,
elapse before the sioop can be ready for the
Government. The burning of the monitor
Amphratite, on the Jersey shore, is still il
progress, ani will continue for some time.
IT may not be out Of the way
for us to state that this is al
experiment, undertaken to discover th'
comparative cost of getting out the usefu
material hv tearing the boats to pieces by
hand or burning them with oils, and com
bustibles. So far it has been demonstrated |
that by far the cheapest way is to burr
them.
Yesterday morning the new steam whee |
steamship, built by the Pusey Il Jones Com
pany, for the trade on the river Magdelena
New Grenada, s. A., sailed for Port Lemon
She tired several salutes as she S canned GU

distance to 90 OUTSIDE. She went gu. ffyin

There is but little work now at the Puse3
