The vi. T.. Church Sunday.

The first union service of the MethO-
dist and Presbyterian congregations ON
Sunday was one of decided interest
and satisfaction, as manifested by
we'll filled house of attentive auditors.
The choir opened with a voluntary
suggestive of Madrigal, q beautiful
selection and well rendered. After
this the congregation got a little mixed
and a few persons went on their knees
when Rev. Mr.. Umsted entered on the
short prayer or Invocation at the OPEN
ing of the services, and still more did
at the close of the first hymn, as is the
usual Methodist custom, whereas the
prayer prOper-the opening pray yer--fOl-
lowed the reading of the scripture les
son. There is u feeling of awkwardness
accompanied with sundry bushes with
persons so caught, amusing because it
is harmless, and rarely repeated a
second time. Rev. Mr.. Umsted preach
ed on the "Unity of the Christian
| Faith" Il sermon of mature thought,
spiced with individualisms that ener-
| gised the broad views of christian doc
trine, which arrested to great degree
the attention of the hearers and gave
them food for reflection. At the close OF
the service the large audience retired
apparently well pleased with the ser
vices.
The preacher in his opening prayer
and the Rev. Mr.. Rigg in the closing
prayer prayed for rain which was re
spOnded to by audible amens, and "a
night while the latter was preaching
the pattering drops came down caus
ing him to remark that it was "likt
music to the ear, the Lord reigneth, lie
the earth rejoice"

Three basket manufactures, two at
Smyrna and one at Clayton, would
seem to indicate not only prosperity
and enterprise, but disposition among
our citizens to engage more in manu-
featuring.
"The Stephen Walker" factory, at
Clayton, which went into operation
last week is one of the most complete
of the kind to he found anywhere. 1t
is located just beside the railroad track
SO that the material for making baskets
can be delivered from the cars into the
cars from the mill thus saving the ex-
pense of hauling and more than one
handling. The building is constructed
in a substantial manner and all of the
machinery is of the most improved and
modern invention. q. w. d S. Taylor
had the contract for making and put
ting in the machinery which works
smoothly and entirely satisfactory; and
is a trump card to this enterprising
firm of machinists and agricultural
implement manufacturers. The en-
gine is of forty horse power and is
capable of moving twice as much
machinery as is in the mill. The
boiler and large tank on the upper
floor is supplied with water from what
is called drive well, more properly a
drive pump and the water is forced or
pumped into the tank and boiler by the
aid of steam conveyed through pipe
to the pump. This is quite an inge-
nious and labor saving arrangement,
affording at all times an abundant sup
ply of water and the causual observer
might we'll ask the question: Where
does it come from? so completely is
the well and pump hidden from view
The whole factory, engine, boiler
machinery and building seems to be
complete, and the baskets being
made by Mr.. Walker--see advertising
columns-are said to be ofthe best. Iti!
to be hoped the success that will at
tend these new industries may lead t.
the establishing of other manufacture.

q town to grow and gives it increased

NEW RECToRY.-A u special meet
ing of the vestry OF st. Peters p L.
Church on Monday it was decided to
build a new RectOry for the home of
the minister on lot donated for the
purpose by Mrs. Susan Fisler opposite
the residence of John c. Stockly and
adjoining that of n. L. Jerman. The
lot has front of 60 feet and is ample
in depth for yard. garden, &c. 1t is to
be finished by the LIST of November.
The building committee are: Geo. w.
Cummins, w. T. Cavender and VIM.
Polk Cummins. Five years ago
through the influence mainly of Geo. HI.
Raymond, Rectory fund of$1 700 was
raised, which with interest now amounts
to 81, 200. A citizen of the neighbor-
hood offered $500, to locate it there,
making $4,000 to begin with, and
nearly ample except the furnishing,
for their purposes.
WILL IT BE sO?-If there is any
longer doubt in the minds of some of
our more hopeful citizens, relative to
the Delaware Railroad being lOoped or
curved into the town we should think
the reports that come to the TIMES
Office if true, would put them to rest.
1t is. stated building is to be erected
at Clayton sufficietly large for restu-
rant, with offices for the aecommoda-
ton of Superintendent Mills and his
assistants who will remove their quart
ers from Wilmington and take post at
Clayton, where it is nearer the centre
of his Division and gives him better
opportunity to look after the interest
of the road and its customers. A
building is also to be erected for hous-
ing two or three engines so as to have
them at hand in case of emergency
and u relay of passenger and freight
cars will be kept on the side track fol
immediate use when required. Other
improvements are also in cOntempla
ton. The hope that these improve
ments would be located at our tOwr
look entirely futile in the face of these
orders.

Improvement at The National
Bank of Smyrna.

The workmen commenced a few days
ago to make important changes ut
what is termed the "old Bank" that
will greatly add to its convenience
while making it u commOdious and
handsome banking room. The stair
way that ascended from the rear of the
Banking room to that of the Directors
has been entirely taken away and the
ascension is now made from the private
room in the rear. The counter and its
surmounting of fancy scroll work
which runs lengthwise of the room is to
be removed and n new one with wrought
iron guards or railing of handsome
design will run transversely across the
room. The change will give about the
same space to the patrons and the pub
lie while the officers will be afforded
much better working facilities. The
greatest change will be perhaps in the
front which will be improved by the
removal of the old portico, and in its
stead there will be q heavy balcony
and cornice of handsome design. The
entrance into the Banking room will
be through double doors, with French
plate glass, two large windows one on
either side of the door, also with French
plate glass two panes TO each window
and protected by wrought iron grills OF
fancy pattern. The trapsom oyer the
front door will have the name of the
Bank in gold and black. The Bank.
ing and Directors room will be beqted
by Q heater located in the basement
iHsgFipg more comfort and cleanliness
The Banking room will be decorated
with paper OF new design. The whole
front will be painted with two shades
of olive and made to comport with th,
inside improvements. The countel
will be of hard woods, (oak and mahog
any, of original design. The intention
of having what is called glass front
is not only that the building may b
greatly improved, but that additiona
light may be given to the patrons an,
officers of the Bank.

An Agreeable Entertainment.

A pleasant musical soiree took place at the
residence of Prof. Alexander S. De Wolowski,
No. 1l16 NJ street northwest, corner OF
Twelfth, the other evening, when his most
advanced pupils in vocal music and the piano
assembled for an agreeable entertainment,
and exhibited the proficiency they had at
tanned under his new and facilo system of in
struction. The most noteworthy and crafty
ing portion OF the soirce was the presentation
to him of magnificent diamond ring. Ono
of the professors lady pupils was deputed to
make the presentation on behalf of her com
panions. This she did in most fitting and ap-
propriate terms, congratulatng him on the
success he had achieved in making the study
of music rather an amusement than task,
and thanking him for his uHtring energy and
perseverance. The whole affair was in the
best taste, and rcdoundcd alike to the credit
of master and pupils Prof. De Wolowski
will soon begin his last courses before his de-
Darturc for Europe.

New Refrigerating Apparatus.

The increase in the demand for cold
air machines has nat rally stimulated
impro ements in old and the invention
OF Jew refrigeratng appliances. Among
the more recent of these is one employ
ing Sulphurc acid as an absorbent of
the vapor of water in vacuum causing
the lowering OF the temperature. The
idea is not new, for it is the basis
OF familiar experiments in school lab
oratories. yet its application on com
mercial scale appears To be both new
and quite successful. The plant consists
essentially OF q freezer. in which the
ice is formed, an acid tank, through
which the vapor of the water is drawn,
and an air-pump for creating a vacuum.
There is also an apparatus for cOndens-
ing the acid when it becomes too heavi-
iy loaded with water. The free ers, of
which number may be grouped together
with one acid-tank, consist of cast-rOn
tanks of any convenient shape or size, &C
Cording to the size of the blocks of ice
chat is required. There is funnel
closed by stop-cook Tor admitting
fresh water, and hinged trap or door
at the bottom for taking out the block
OF ice. The acid tank is cylindrical
vessel of iron. having helix or stirre
ms de for agitating the liquid whenever
1T is necessary. The tank is connected
by pipes with the free ers, and over
The top has dome, which is con-
nected with an air-pump. The opera
tiOn of the machine is simple. The
air-pump creates a vacuum in the
dome over the acid. and Indirect
ly, by means of the pipes, in the freez-
ers. The water begins to evarorate,
and the vapor pervading the pipes and
sank is absorbed by the acid, the air
partly freed ( ON vapor being steadily
drawn away by the air-pump. This
evaporation and absorption of the vapor
causes lowering of the temperature of
the remaining water, and it freezes into
solid blocks in the ireezers The pump
Is then stopped, and the tanks are
closed and again filled with water, when
the process begins anew. The only
pause in the work is the occasional re-
moval of the saturated acid and the put
ting in fresh supply. The acid is freed
from water in a condenser, and may be
used over again in the machine indefi-
hitely. While this is the main idea OF
this refrigerating plant. it has many de-
tails, and requires special kind OF air
pump. Lead is used wherever il is nec-
eSsary to protect the apparatus from the
action of the ac'd, and ingenious appli-
ances are added for preventing the ice
from clogging the water-pipes that fill
she freezers. and for releasing the
blocks of ice when they are finished. In
a small plant, demanding a six-horse-
power engine and the services OF two
men besides the engineer. six bio ks OF
ace, weighing six hundred weight each,
can be made in one hour. or fifteen tons
in twenty-four hours. The cost of pro-
duction must depend on the price oil
coal and labor; but so far rs can be
learned, it is as low as by many OF the
larger and more costly appliances now
in use. Chicago IrIbSns.
