A City of Halls.

If the building of Halls is any indica
ton of the thrift and prosperity of q
city, then New Castle is making rapid
strides forward in the road to prosperi.
ty and wealth. 1t has not been a yeal
since the Masonic Odd Fellows Hall
the finest in the State, outside of vii.
mington, was dedicated. The colCreG
people already had one and now two
others are under way. The lines are
about being laid for the foundations OF
the new Red Mems Hall, and the foun-
dations are being dug for the knights
of Pythias Hall. Gardiner l.. Jamison
being the lowest bidder, got the contract
for building both halls. The Knights
and Red Men were not influenced by
the example of the Levy Court, and in
stead of giving the contract for the
the building of their halls to the high
est bidder they gave them to the lowest.
Besides the building OF halls, a large
number of new dwelling houses are also
being built. Such activity demon
strates that New Castle, having lost the
Court House, has lit up the fires of in
dustry and paddles her own canoe.
The University Singers wLo were in
New Castle over Sunday, by invitation,
attended service at the NJ. Z. church in
the evening and thrilled the congrega-
tiOn by singinga a couple ct sOul-stirring
choruses in their own X nitable and
plaintive style. The congregation was
delighted and would like to have them
call again.

Chip Dirt for Fruit Trees.
From The Exchange.

We havH fora long time known tha,
chip manure is ust the thing to promote
the growth ftrees. Decayed leaves are
also good to put around the roots of tree,
newly planted, or to stimulate growth
of fruit trees. A correspondent OF the
Homestead says:
"The best fertilizer to use in setting
fruit trees of all kinds is partially or
thoroughly dCcomposei chip dirt. We
made use of the material for the first
time some twenty years agoin planting
an apple orchard, and it was a wonder
ful secret what caused the trees to make
such fine growth the first season, and
afterwards, too, for that matter. This
experiment was so satisfactory, that
when we set our new orchard, we made
a liberal use of this material, with the
same satisfactory result. These trials
have proved to our satisfaction that
chip dirt is the very best material to
mix in the soil as you plant the tree
that can possibly be used, for the rea.
son that il holds moisture, and is full
of the elements of plant food; therefore,
it prolnOtesa most luXnriant, natural
and healthy growth. Repeated trials
have satisfied me that tree is not only
more sure to live, but will make double
the first year( Especially if dry sea
sony, if some two bushels Of chip dirt
are used i n its setting, than it would
without it. A single trial will con
vince the most skepticai that the best
possible use that can be made of this
valuable material is to apply it to the
soil in planting trees in order to push
forward the tree during the first pre-
,arious stages of its growth.

mittee on Parade and Tournament, re.
ported progress.
Captain +. p. Heller, of the Junior

ance OF their largely increasing their
subscriptions to the firemen's tourna-
ment, to be held here during the month
OF September next, and inform the citi-
Zens that the Firemen's Union have
every reason to think that we will have
at least 10000 visitors here during that
time, for period Of at least three days,
'ANiODJ pllhSihS ID large amount OF
money to our city, as well as bringing
it to the notice of many persons who
are not aware Of the facilities afforded
for manufacturing, ETC.; also to have it
generally known that the expense of
this affair will amount to at least 5000
and that unless this amount is raised,
we will not be able to carry out our
plans successfully. Should the editors
feel so disposed as to favor this Union
by such notices they will be kindly re-
membered by US.
All of the Wilmington fire compa-
nieS, with the exception of the Friend
ship, are making arrangements to at

Hop Bitters as women. IL is the only
remedy peculiarly adapted 10 the many
ills the sex is almost universally subject
to. Chills and fever, indigestion or de-

parts of the body, feeling of lassitude
and dependency are all readily remov-

persons assembled at Mt. Lebanon M
Z. church, at festival, held for tn
benefit of the Sunday school library. .

lecture on "Our Country" delivered b,
Rev. Vaughan Smith, pastor, reviewing
the institutions of our Government, ed
ucation, and the arts drawing q strik
ing comparison between these anf
those ofother nations of the earth.
Following the lecture, an instrumen
tai duet was rendered by Miss Anna NJ
Buck, on the organ, and Mr.. VIM. Mole
on the flute.
The choir thCn sang "No One Cares
for me, " which drew forth high com.
rnendations from the audience.
The duet "Far Away" was very
sweetly sang by Mrs. Jordan and Miss
Nettie Buck, accompanied by the organ
and flute.
The assemblaee then proceeded to the
Sunday school room for refreshments.
where they washed down the feast OF
reason and flow of music beneath the
rapid disappearance ofice.cream, cakes,
etc.
This Friday evening was merely a
prelude to the entertainment Of the fol-
lowing evening when hundreds assem-
bled from all the surrounding country,
among which was noticeable quite a
number from your city.
The entertainment OF Saturday even
ing commenced with the reading of n
number Of pathetic and humorous Sc
lections by Prof. S. T. Ford, which were
given in his usual style to the delight of
all present.

was given by the choir.

erected at the foot of Fourth street by
private enterprise.
Mr.. Lawrence made a long speech II
favor Of the adoption of both the Eley
enth street andSonth side routes.
Mr. Rodney here said that he was au
thorized by the National Dredging
Company to say that the offer to grade
Fourth street from the Brandywine to
the Delaware would hold good for two
years either in connection with Fourth
street extended, Seventh and Fourth
street or Eleventh street.
PRESIDENT sHARPLBY's OPPOSITION.
President Sharpley now LETT the chair
and made a violent speech in opposition
to any road to the river. He ridiculed
the idea Of road to the river, said it
was imaginary and visionary, and
that it would cost by either the Fourth or
Eleventh street routes at least 500, 900.
The city will not need q road TO the
river for 20 years.
Mr.. Rodney in reply TO this spoke of
the exempting of land from taxation on
the marshes, and said the city should
improve it. He differed with the Pres
ident of Council as to the cost, and said
the city should spend $4,000 to improve
the land. The time was bound to come
soon when the great trunk lines would
have to secure greater terminal facili-
ties and such advantages as could be
secured through the river project was
what they would need. u
THE SOUTH sIDE's SUCCESS.
Mr., Merris Taylor moved as n substi-
tute to the motion to adopt the minori-
ty report that, that part OF the majority
report adopting the Eleventh street
route be adopted. After some parlia-
mentary sparring, the chairman ruled
the motion out Of order.
The minority report was adopted by |
the following vote
Ayes-Adams, Adele, Blake, Beech

ter, Shaw, Il. II. Taylor, Townsend,
