Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
New CASTLE. Nov. Thanksgiving
Day, 1891, was holiday that will be
remembered by more than a few New
Castle people. Although the weather
was rather disagreeable all day, yet it
did not interfere with many plans that
had been made for spending the day.
Nearly all the mills and stores were
closed all day or greater part of the
day. and the schools will remain closed
until Monday. There was but little
drunkenness in the city all day and but
two arrests were made.
These Did Not Remain at Home.
Hunters and gunnsrs were leaving on
every morning train for points down the
state, but Harvey Porter, Charles g.
Lunt and John B. Sewell were the most
fortunate who went out from this city.
They went to Cheswold and there bsgged
twenty one quail, six woodcock and six
teen rabbits
A party Of fishermen rode down to
Buck Bridge for a days sport in the
canal. They ished with lines and hauled
in pike and mullets by the dozen.
William @. Grimes. w Fred Worthing
ton and Arthur Murray spent the day In
Delaware City visiting old friends.

Impressive Thank Offerings.
TsThs church services during the day
were very impressive and the most in
terestlng that have been heard here for
years In Emmanuel Church the chancel
was almost hidden by q magnificent bank
of vegetable products Of the year. Choice
fruits and all the vegetables that are
grown In this nelghborhood were ar
ranged in the solid bank, making
beautiful sight. The rector preached
with his usual poiutedles and yabiiity.
At the M. e Church, Rev. T &. Mar
tiDdale preached to the congregations of
the Presbyterian, Baptist and M. E.
churches, one of the NEST eloquent
Thanksgiving sermons ever heard there
The discourse throughout showed careful
preparation and it contained vivid illus
trations. A united choir furnished the |
music. Mr. Msrtindale has been re-
quested to repeat the sermon at an early |
date.
Special services were held in St. Peters |
and the other churches and fine musical |
programs were rendered in each.
