is the only Refrigerator scientifically construct
ed so as to secure the one absolutely preserving
temperature which nature provides in its sup

invention of man can ever hope to excel this
provision of nature; for below this point, even
one degree of temperature, all vegetable Lille
will be destroyed, and every degree OF temper
AZURE added above that point, only deducts so
much from the efficiency of the preserving
power.

THE GEORGIA MINsTRELs.-The Boston Her
aid says: Callender's Georgia Minstrels have
burst on US like an avalanche and have taken
Boston by storm. All the reserved seats were
sold yesterday before the performance began,
and the house filled by fashionable audi
ence-one rarely seen at a minstrel entertain
ment. Their performances are received with
the highest enthusiasm. Each performer seems
to be not only a natural, but a cultured artist
never oversteppiDg the bounds of refinement.
They fairly overflow with grotesque humor,
which touches sympathetic chords in the audi
ence. driving away dull care and winning gene
raj applause Their songs and cboruses are ex-
cellent, their puns, jokes and stories fresh and
laughable, and their plantation scenes truth
full mirthful and of a superior order.
They appear at Music Hall the 18th and 18th

she is said to excel. Speaking of her rendi-

says:
sally Chippendale's rendition of Fanchon
is simply beautiful; her acting is entirely free
from effect, and she easily makes her audience
from tears to laughter as the scene varies. In
the merry scenes fun bubbles forth as natur-
ally as laughter from the Child

It was the great gathering place and playground
for the boys even up until and after the begin

citizens yet have lively recollections of their
boyish sports under its roof.
About 1887 II portion of the building ON the
top of the front part of the shed was built by
the city and the Athen@an Society Jointly. In
1913 or 8 the market house was rebuilt, the su-
perstructure enlarged and fell into the occupan-
cy of the Wilmington Library, into which soci
ETY. the Athenman, the Young Mems Institute
and the Franklin Lyceum were merged. Prior
to this the Library had occupied the present
Council chamber. At later day the building
over the shed attained it's present size while in
the occupancy Of the Library.
After this 1t was used aB a billiard saloon by
John Klllingsworth, celebrated character, and
was subsequently converted into offices, and
been used as such until few,days ago.
Public meetings were formerly, aud until
within q few years, held in front of the market
house, the balcony in front being used for the
speakers. From this place many men Of emil
hence have spoken, including Jno. NJ. Clayton,
VIM. II. Seward and others. Tradition has
handed down many amusing.inoidentsin connec-
ton with this use of the building One of these is
to the effect that OH one occasion when Mr. Clay
ton was addressing multitude, the evergreens
which decked the end OF the building caught on
fire. Some one near seized pitcher which con-
tanned, as he supposed, water which he threw
upon the flames, but instead of extnguishing
them they only burned the more brightly. Ho
had thrown gin upon the burning evergreens in

Hon. W. W. Ketchum, of Luzerne, declines to
