To Accept Deeds for city streets.

At meeting of the Board of Street
and Sewer Directors last Tuesday the
members discussed the advisability of
accepting deeds for beds of streets laid
out on the property in the Ninth ward
east of Market street. The city engi-
neer was instructed to re-survey the
property and if the streets east of
market arc brought parallel with the
streets on the west side and at right
angles with Market it is altogether
probable that deeds will be accepted by
the board for the same. AS now shown
on the map the streets east of Market
street arc laid out at an angle with the
intersection of the streets on the west
side, and the desire is to have them
parallel and not running to an angle.

GA acres, known as the old Hiram Lodge
farm, near Silverside station, on the b.
& o. railroad, from Real Estate Agent
j. Jackson Peirce, which he proposes to

have a number of lnCubators with a
capacity of 800 eggs each. The propo-
sition is to supply Wilmington and

commonly seen in the market is what is
needed by hotel keepers who would
gladly pay premium for a large
white fleslied fowl. A gentleman living
near West Chester gets 30 cents a pound
for all the capons he can send to market
as against the current price of from 8 tc
10 for ordinary fowls.
Mr.. Grubb has given up his position
at Strawbridge g. Clothier's, in Phila
delphia, which he has occupied for two
years, and will commence work imme
diately the spring opens. He propose!
