CLAYMoNr. Jan. 1S--'rhc rc-opening of
the Church of Ascension made u stir in
Claymont to day, of an unusual nature.
Some months ago the exterior of the
church was put in thorough repair at
cost of 500 by the contractors, Mcssrs. A.
ID. Bird 4 Son, and the happy effect Of the
improvement led to the thought Of repair
ing the inside of the church also. This
was undertaken by the rector, the Rev.
Charles A, Hayden, some seven or eight
weeks ago, and the thoroughmess of the
work shows for itself. Much Of the actual
work has been done bv the rector himself,
assisted by member of his household,
George \. IIaincs.
Work was begun on the basement Sun
day-school room first and having placed it
i'll thorough order. it has been used for
church services during the repairs to the
church proper. The cost Of repairing the
| Sunday-school room was about $500.
The old seats were removed from the
church and re-arranged making three
aiSles, instead of two. The aisle in the
centre has certainly made wonderful
improvement. The frescninG, designed by
| the Rev, MIR. Hayden, shows wonderful
taste and is beautifully adapted to the
building. 1t was executed by II. bryan of
Wilmington and is q card of merit for him.
In the Encouragement of the seats the
rector was assisted by Messrs. !. d. Bird
" Son. The work Of these gentlemen has
been done in a creditablc manner. There is
also beautiful altar erected, q memorial of
| Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Lodge, presented to
| the church by their daughters. Miss Lodge
and Mrs. samuel ;. Myers of Philadelphia;
| also new reredos, ~ memory oil George

A Steady Advancement in the Price of
Meat and Vegetables Places Them
Beyond the Reach of Housewives.
The recent cold weather has caused a
decided advancement in the price of
meats and vegetables and the statement
is made that the prices are still jumping
up. 1t is not thought that this state of
affairs will be Of long duration, how
ever, and as soon as the weather mod
crates prices OF meat and vegetables will
also moderate. Pork and beef have
taken the highest jump and this it is
said is largely due to the failure Of the
dealers to secure their cattle from the
west during the cold weather.
There has been no perceptible ad,
vancement in the price of coal and in
quiry OF some of the dealers ascertained
the fact that there would be no advance.

selling at $6,25 per ton. No one seemed
to know anything about coal taking an
