Nsw CAsslx, lIarch Ind. 1879.
Yesterday the main body ofths Meth
odist church was opened for the FIRST
time since the repairs. Mr.. Mann from
Wilmington prsached. The church
presents 4 much better appearance
since 1t has been painted, the designs
arp.in word, beautiful, and where beau
ty IL you will find the crowd, but ~
Mr.. Mann said in his sermon, the Astho-
dist Ministers preach, but do not teach.
Now II the teaching will commence In.
stead OF prsachins, together with tue
beauties contained in tho church, the
Methodist congregation will bs tbs most
thriving in the city. At the end OF ths
service $500 WAS raised to pay OF the
debts against the church.
The election for members Of the Board
Of Education was held on Saturday
afternoon. Only one ticket wss in the
field, and twas unanimously elected, viz:
james 7. Scott, Jacob Hermann and
Geo. N. Rsilsy. The poll was very
small, only 40 votes being cast. The
Board will meet tomorrow evening and
will rsosivs the new members. The
gen tlemen elected will serve three years.
The Levy Court will meet on Tues.
day.
Tho Baptists cleared over $3.50 at the
supper on Washington birth-dsy, ,and
they can now finish their church as
the weather will permit.
Yesterday Sunday WAS unusually
quiet in our city, and only for the
church bell, ons would hardly have
supposed any lite existed.
A Brilliant Anair-Art by Gaslighl
ball 4 Anderson's New store.
In the past few years paper hanging
has grown to be an art, and never ha.
more interest been taken in the SAINT
tnan at the present time In this city,
but to Ball & Anderson has been re'
served the credit Of introducing the
latest designs in all their beauty and
perfection.
Finding that their former store was
altogether inadequate for their proposed
operations--the large store rooms !
doors below in the Silver building, Oil
Market street, were lately secured, anc
after weeks OF labor in beautifying the
same, on Saturday evening, it was
opened for public inspection as adver'
tised and continued from to IL.
Nothing that could be added had beer
left undone and 1t was more than
success.
The entire front repainted and deco
rated in handsome style was all abaze
with Chinese lanterns and flags, while
the interior with its glow OF light
golden pannels, and beautiful tints, re.
minded one Of the palaces Of the ancients
the ceiling decoration Of the stor'
however, was the chief attraction, ant
might we'll be, for here had been ex-
pended the finest work and ingenuity
of the firm. The centre Is one larg'
strip of gold with dark green inlay
followed by fringe border With smal
strips of deep maroon, and an unmistak
able number OF small panels and cor
ners each one in itself a minia
ture ceiling.
The display Of gold paper was simpl!
immense, as the firm have secured iron
the celebrated house OF VIM. Campbell
the entire control Of his elegant good
for this State. An arrangement not onl,
of interest to Mr.. Campbell and Messrs
Ball & Anderson, but alss, to all ou
citizens, as never before have We ha'
such an opportunity Of securing sucl
beautiful goods.
From 7 to II an immense crowd view
ed the beautiful designs as displayed
, 50 great indeed was the crO1u that tn
pavement was rendered impossible, an
! it was with some difficulty that ingres
could be had to the building. Whel
inside MessIs. Ball Il Anderson witt
their assistants were on hand biddin
every visitor welcome and after havin
shown and explained the attractions
they invited them back to the Office c
} the firm where refreshments were serv
ed, and every one seelned to feel tina
Messrs. Ball & Anderson at least kne'
how to keep a first class paper store
that would be u credit to ths city, anC
} that they knew how to treat evervbod
politely that called upon them.
