OCT About Newark.

II
was out ut Newark yesterday and her,
are few things he noted: The towr
locked beautiful, EMPOWERED among
groves OF stately shade trees. Wei
filled yards, with flowers of choice va
rieties, and closely mown lawns be-
speak high order OF refinement fol
the people. In architecture Newark
leads other towns Of more pretensiors
TO art in building.
The only ugly building ont OF place
TO be seen 10 the school house, but II
may be better than 1t looks. Newark
should make q better show in a public
| school building where she has such
spacious and well directed academies
and colleges. Some Ave or six new
houses are being erected, and indicate
that they will be very handsome when
finished. Citizens say that building
Was seldom more active than at pres
emit.
Beaton Smith, formerly member OF
the Board OF Education of Whining
ton, has q very completely supplied
drug store In new house, and from the
second story the Delaware Ledger is
issued. 1t is good, enterprising, local
paper, and lately has been falling In
love with K. h. Cochran for Governor.
Newsrk's churches look better than
Its public school house. There are four,
perhaps more: one Catholic, one Metho.
dist, one Presbyterian and one Episcc-
palian. They are all models in hand
some architecture, and II all were we'll
filled on Sundays there would be no.
body left at home TO keep house.
W. A. Woodrow is another Whining
tonian who has made his mark In New.
ark His beautiful farm of 20 acres lies
on the eastern suburb. His lawn &.
handsomely laid out in circular car
riage drive, with flower plets in the
centre, and an abundance OF fruit trees
standing all around. Mr.. Wood row 5
horses ran off the other day with the
reaper, but fortunately no extensive
damage was done. The whole concern
lodged on fence, horses on one side
and machine on the other.
The driver shifted danger in the dis
tanoe and vamoosed the machine. MI
woodrow, hurrying out to see what
was the matter, hurriedly lifted bar
to put in place and sprained his back,
from which he has since been confined
TO his bed.
"he Methodist parsonage IL not far
from Mr.. Wo0drow's residence. Il is a
brick building with beautiful surround
ings, amidst which Was seen Pastor
Prettyman with a friendly smile that
spread AL over his ooGntenancs. Call
ing In few moments, John f. vii.
Hanson was found in his counting
office pouring over ledgers and scruti'
nizing bills.
Mr.. Williamson has crown IN with
Newark and il AL important part Of IL.
He served four yeaTs IN the S3nste and
one terra In the House at the bidding
OF the Republican party of New Castle
County, and come OF his "reminiscences
OF Delaware legislation are rich aud
racy. Mr.. Williamson is getting along
In years but he is Btill hearty and ro-
bust, and gives promise of many more
years OF sctive, useful lite.
Newark is wonderfully railroaded.
The P, w. & b. road runs to the
south of it, the B. 81 2. to the north of
1t, and the Delaware City & Pomeroy
road runs up through the eastern part
of it.
1t now belongs to the p, w a. b,
road, and The latter now runs trains IN
to the eastern part OF the town for pas
senRers, 80 that the latter are .ayed the
expense of a teL-cent hack drive to reach
Newark station. This has broken up
Coroner Widdoes' occupation Of hack
man, and he Is in no very amiable
humor about it. The p, w. & II. Com.
pany, however, will have TO run q line
down TO the western end OF Newark If
1t would compete with the new 3 & 2.
road for the freight traffic and passen-
gers Of that end. The latter road runs
right close by the Deer Park Hotel, and
VIII shortly commence extensive depot
buildings there.
While sitting on the porch Of the
Deer PARK, talking with the good i.
natured barber, MIR. Holman, ha pointed
Iout ~ old gentleman said TO he the
~ealtbiest citizen OF Newark, who
made his wealth by merchar dipipR.
when Lis place caught fre, ana when a
mum her OF citizens rushed Ia And " ith
scorched clothing and hands almost
burnt to blisters saved the sate with its
contCntS, he opened his heart and with
the ar u a prince handed the boys a
Idollar.
While sitting here also we raw the
tan form of Il. n Vallandisham, OF the
New York Star.
/ He was home on hy 10 see his pa
rents, who live here and only had time
to say, How do you do2"
I ono OF the prettiest and best farms
around Newark is James Morrow's, on
the Christians rNEd. Pear and frui,
| orchards are feature of Newark. But
We cannot merton everything, indeed
we were there but short time, but 1t il
| too pretty place 10 remain long away
| IRON, and 81 another visit may soon be
Expected from RAMBLER.
