CHEsApEAKE CRY, MD., April 27, '76.
arrived in Chesapeake City last Sunday
and found some Of its inhabitants attending
the usual devotions, Notwithstanding the
lawlessness that was visible among the many
bad characters that infest the town.
At the wharves, ready to be 'locked in"
lay large number of boats, among them ten
or twelve loaded with oysters which were to
be planted in Delaware bay. The transfer Of
these bivalves is not so heavy this season as
last. One old sea captain said that he saw
80, 900 bushels shipped through the Chesa-
peake l. Delaware Canal last year where TO-
900 was being shipped this year. The differ
ence was not accounted for.
Business during the spring has been some
what improved by the unusual large amount
of travel through the canal. Boatmen buy
heavily in Chesapeake, and support five or
six good stores, with the aid of town pur-
chasers.
Captain F. Layman. of the Bayard House
hotel, is agitated over the law recently en-
acted by the Maryland Legislature which
takes from hotels all games and plays used
for hotel amusements Even billiards and
bagatelle applications must be recommended
by twelve freeholders before the game is legal
or the license granted. The captain keeps
good hotel in spite Of all disadvantages.
But must not dwell on Chesapeake news,
for am reminded that live editor is ap-
preaching town and intends starting the
chesapeake Independent newspaper in
short time, and will dispense tie news TO all
people thereafter. Indeed, the printing Office
is partly erected, and we are further informed
that the editor, Mr.. Winfield Way, is now
running job Office in Port Hermon, seven
miles below here. The town people look
upon the enterprise as an established and
universal benefit, and give it their support in
its infancy. Mr.. Way is in part a newspaper
man, he having written great deal for the
Csc,, Democrat and lately for the New York
Herald. 1t is my sincere wish that he may
meet with untold success in Chesapeake City,
and fulfill the dreams of its progressive in
habitants.
Peaches, these talk originators, have not
been exposed to the torture of IA thousand
tongues yet, although opinions as to their
safety have been given by some. From what
could learn, no serious damage was done
by the frost of Friday night, and of course
this result is ever welcome to fruit growers
Chesapeake threw of her lethargy year
or so ago, and commenced the erection of
some fine residences, which, since their COM
pletion, show off the town to an advantage.
Narrow streets are to be regretted, however.

/. U. O. F. HALL DEDICATION.

ST. GEORGES, DEL, April 26.
Hearing that this town was to be taken by
band of Odd Fellows to-day, drove over
and approached in a cautious manner. was
assured of my personal safety by discovering
large flag of the United States stretched
across the street, so went in to Longland's
hotel, where found that the town had already
been captured, and ceremonies in honor Of
the erection Of a fine brick Hall, mansard roof
and three sturies high, were about to begin.
At O'Clock, after dinner had been dis
posed Of, P. G., A. J. Brown, Of New Castle,
commenced the programme by calling into
line between $50 and 300 Odd Fellows; Mid
dletown, New Castle, Delaware City, Chesa-
peake City and other towns had delegates
present. The Diamond State Brass Band of
Middletown, in grey uniform headed the line,
and in short time the parade was commenced
to a stirring march by; the band. A very
good show was made by the paraders, and
the town resounded with the strains of music
After the parade, and in the midst Of a
beating rain, the crowd filed into the Hall of
National Lodge No. 80, and the dedicatory
ceremonies were proceeded with by NJ. W. G.
NJ, Edwin C. Moore, Of Wilmington, assisted
by subordinate officers. After the dedication,
addresses were delivered in the NJ. E. Church
by P. G.. NJ, W. B. Hyland, of Wilmington,
and George Troap Maxwell, NJ. D., of New
Castle. The former gave the large audience
full and explicit history of the introduction
of the order of Odd Fellows in Baltimore in
1909 by Samuel Wildey, an Englishman, and
gave its progress in the United States from
that time and it's benefit to members during
the past year.
DR.. Maxwell's address was more of a liter
ary effort, and was received with much plea
sure by the audience, who went so far as to
encore him at its conclusion.
The Hall cost between 81, 500 and S., 900.
All members Of National Lodge deserve credit
for the erection of such fine building, which
has been done under unfavorable circum-
stances, though the membership is good
The lower floor is occupied by drug store,
the second floor is used for entertainments,
and the third is used for the Lodge room.

Accidents.
Mr.. Charles P. Cochran's horse ran away
with him while going home from town last
Friday night, upsetting the carriage and
throwing the inmate out. Mr.. G. was some
what severely, but not seriously hurt, and
the carriage was pretty badly broken.
Mr.. T. G. Murphey's carriage also met with
an accident few days ago. He was visiting
at Mr.. D. ]. Murphey's at Newark, and the
latter in taking the horse from the carriage
forgot to unfasten some portion Of the harness,
which, when the horse started to walk out OF
the shafts, was dragged down on him, badly
frightening him and causing him to run
away. The carriage struck against tree,
and the top was demolished
New Castle Presbytery.
This body held its semi-annual session al
Princess Anne, last week, commencing on

tor and Rev. George E. Jones, Of Lower
Brandy ywine Church, and Elder E. P. Nipple,

from the different churches. In general the
reports exhibited an encouraging progress
throughout the Presbytery, revivals being re-
ported in most of the churches
The pastoral relationship between the Rev.
J. T. Umstead and the st. Georges Church

A new string band has been organized in
Middletown under the leadership of G. f..
Foster. Mr.. George Price is teacher.
The Town Commissioners have signiied
their intention to improve the cells under the
Town Hall fer the summer campaign Of tramps.
A visit to the Fair Grounds last week
showed that the buildings were in excellent
condition. The track is washed little in
some sections, but presents a good appearance.
Walter J. Griffith, of Sassafras Neck, Nd,
has sold his Kentucky mare "Kate'' to Geo.
Millington, of New Castle, for $3.50. The
mare is good one and shows signs of max
ing good trotter.
Bethesda NJ. E. Church of this town is 10 be
re-painted and re-papered during the summer
months. We understand that the proposed
lengthening and erection of a cupola in the
rear Of the church will be postposed until
1871.
Rice l. Co., of Middletown, have recently
put up horse power in the Of their
store for the purpose Of running their large
ice cream freezer. The firms present capacity
will enable them to meet all demands upon
them for ice cream this season.
s. R. Stephens b Co. have hoisted large
"hag Of all nations" in the front Of their
store and have a good display of smaller
flags. Charles Tatman has his store decorated
nicely, as does also G. W. W. Naudain and
Eliason Bros. We believe all of them intend
making grand display when the Centennial
Exhibition opens.
A "Social Club has been organized in
Middletown, and has its room over ]. B.
Clarkson's office on Main street. The Club
is run by stockholders, and members are
taken in on the payment Of the fixed admis-
sion fee. A billiard table, chess and chequer
boards afford games for amusements. 1t is
deplorable fact, however, that this "Social
Club was permitted to purchase the Middle
town Library and move it to their rooms.
Of course, all the Club members have access
to the library, but nearly all Of the old mem
oers have no connection with the Club.
