GRKEN HILL q aURCa.
Tho Recent Improvsmenis Made
A Grand supper ~ she l. sdit ~,
Professor FOrd's Readings.

Last night marked an epoch in Gresl
Hill Presbyterian church. The peopl'
in that vicinity, who worship in tina
church, are intelligent and progressive
and to show that they move as thu
world moves they have remodeled theil
church. The ceiling was too low AND
in many respects it was behind the ad
vauced spirit Of the times. To init
mate that an improvement was needed
was sufficient to put every body TO work
whe claimed the church as their spirit
ual nome. The pastor, Rev. Gaylord
More, beloved by every body, led in the
movements for reform in the architec
tuTe of his church.
His flock all followed, and many
outsiders joined the ranks, and the
work Of remodeling has been pushed
to completion. The root has been
raised higher, and furnished in the
inside in Gothic style, with pernapal
rafters and massive wood brackets in
imitation Of oak, the whole brightly
vanished. II is the intention to paint
the walls, probably light Stone color,
and then in all probability new pews
and pulpit, more in keeping with the
improved state of affairs must follow.
Green Hill Church will then be
amongst the handsomest church edifces
in the country.
The ladies Of the congregation, al
ways first and foremost in every good
work, gave q grand supper last night
in the lecture room, the proceeds OF
which wers to be applied to helping on
church matters.
Too much cannot be said Of thesplen
did supper which over three hundred
people enjoyed. Four tables we're kept
constantly filed until ten O'Clock and
yet there was enough left to feed a
large number more. The large number
of young men who took supper was
particularly noticeable.
To them the entertainment was
agreeable in double sense, the supper
not only being good, but, well we will
say IL, the ladies were so nice and
agreeable. Old, as well as young men,
however, will not dispute this point.
The audience in the church waiting
for turns ct the table were entertained
by some music from the choir, but the
greatest entertainment was the select
readings by Professor s. +. Ford. The
professor never acquitted himself bet
ter.
He made the large audience chamber
resound with his rendition of'ths creed
of the BELLS" and many of his tumor-
GUS selections we're very trying on Test
buttons, and corset eyelets. "The
de- ath of Eva" in Uncle TOMS Cabin
was very affecting read. The profes.
sor is open to engagements to read at
church entertainments and socials dur
ing the holidays. The supper was an
agree able and grand success. The Re-
PUBLICAN tips its beaver for the enjoy
ment OF the evening.

In Mr.. Umstead'o ONCE Ia a cabinet G,
drawers, ono for every principal city
and state IN the Union In which cor
rsspondence is placed. Every letter
ssnt oot 10 duplioatsd In bound books
which contain l0Co pages. One Of
these books only lasts week. A care.
fnlly prepared index readily leads
to any letter written within a year.
Outside OF these offices, but on the
same floor is the newspaper advertise
msnt department. Rows Of cabinets
hlled with pigeon holes extend across
the room, each State in the Union hav.
ing cabinet row and pigeon hole.
Delaware is small State but 1t has
its cabinet row and 3 pigeon hole for
every paper published in the State.
"You cannot name = paper In the
United States that you cannot find
here" said Mr.. Vegeler.
He was correct, every paper we could
think OF We found carefully alphabeted
and fled away in their respective
pigeon holes, Of which there wers over
II, 900.
Along the side Of the room extended
q desk at which were seatsa some fifteen
ladies' and three gentlem en whose sole
business was TO examine the papers a.
they came by the bag fall from the
mail. livery paper was carefully ex.
amined TO see that the advertisements
for st. Jacobs Oil were in the locations
stipulated for, and every local notice
In reference 10 the Oh was carefully
noted. An immense ledger some three
by five feet, the ruled paper for II be-
ing manufactured TO order was use d 40
record book in which to record every
inaccuraey, neglect and breach Of con
tract.
Bvery local notice was also recorded
in this book, 80 that a glance would
show them how the firm stood With
everybody with which they transacted
business. 1t fact the business Of the
establishn ent was reduced to such q
perfect system tkatit would be the next
thing to an impossibility to make
mistake.
The third and fourth stories OF this
establishment we're detbted to the
manufacturing Of the oil and contained
the laboratory. This is the part Of the
business not made public, and Of course
We did not insist that our visit should
extend to that department.
But our article is already long and
We will close By saying that it is =
pleasure for pablithers to transact
business with this straight forward
business frm.
We had almost forgotten to state
that this firm is particular and prompt
in the payment OF their advertising
bills as they are particular in comply
ing with every contract and in the de-
tails of carrying on their vast business,
that must soon extend to all parts OF the
world. They allow no duns or bills to
bs sent to their Office, but pay every
thing promptly either in advance or at
maturity. Such firm deserves TO and
must succeed, just as surely as the St.
Jacobs oil they manufacture will cure
rheumatism, pains, ceres, neuralgia
and other painful diseases.

AROGUE'S LETTER.
The offer Made by che man who
Stole Mr. WaItOn's Watch.

The offer Made by che man who
stole Mr. WaItOn's Watch.
In yesterdays RRPUBLrcAS mention
was made OF the recovery by Mr.. z. T.
Walton OF his watch, which was stolen
from him at the Opera House on Tues
evening. The watch was secured
through detectives Taggert, of Phila'
delphis, and Legg, Of Wilmington.
The watch was recovered yesterday
morning. Mr. Walton having, in re
sponss TO telegram from Detective
Tagxert on the evening before, sent
800 to Philadelphia with the under.
standing that no questions were to be
asked. About the time this telegram
came Mr.. Walton received the follow
ing letter from the thief, which is an
interesting document:
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Is, 1880.
MR. WALroS:-If you want the watch
that was taken from you last night. /
can get II for you If you will do as ad-
wise you. In the first place If You un.
dertake to play smart and have any
one OF the officers, either from Will
mipgton or this city, detectives or
sp ecials) with you at the place that l
shall name for meeting, you shall
never get the watch back, as | know
them all, and will not meet you,
for you may lest assure that
| will not come enuf to be cauch in
any such q way. You offer hundred
dollars for your watch and no question
asked, and as that is more than can be
got ont 1t in pawn it will be returned to
you il you will act squar and comfy
detail. Meet me tomorrow night with
a hundred dollars at the corner OF 18th
and Spruce, this city-you stand on
the southwes corner, and | will come
down the east side Of 18th street, aud
will pass under the lamp light, which
Is at the southeast corner.
As | go under the lamplight will
turn and cross the street toward you
at the same time will take of my
high hat and then you may know its
me. Do as say and you will get your
watch, but If you try to play smart
You will never get it. as | will not
trust you again. Ii you cannot come
to- morrow night, the night after will
do. Act wright by me and will do
the same by you. Yours Truly,
Daily Republican., 1880-12-17

The letter is produced above with
all the original spelling. One thing, a
little peculiar, is that the watch was
in the hands Of the Philadelphia Off
GER, and in a fair way to be properly
returned before the strange epistle
was received. The thief must have
been pounced down upon shortly sfter
the letter was written.

A Brilliant Meteor

Passed across the heavens in the

Meteors are solid bodies that fly
through space, coming from some I'M

mcndous velocity, and if they strike the
earth's atmosphere, (Which extends
about forty miles above the earth's sur

Was y complete success. The object
Of the entertainment appealed equally
to all the community, and the ladies
having the matter in charge determined
to succeed. The arrangements were
perfect, and everything was nicely pre-
pared. The attendance was good, the
pretty mattresses were polite and atten-
tive, and everything contributed to
make one feel happy and to spend his
small change. The amount taken in
was 1925; fter deducting the ex-
penses the net proceeds amount to the
snug sum of 500.
