A Startling Statement.

The following startling statement
was handed us yesterday by one of our
citizens:
There is a certain ice-house in Smyr-
ma situated between Mt. Vernon and
Commerce streets that has recently
been transformed from an Ice HOUSE
to VICE HOUSE. There are a number
of places in Smyrna just as bad;
this particular place is under the sur
veillance of the law and "a 'COrd to the
Mise Is sufficient"
Again if the parents of some of the
boys who habituaie this and other
places were told of the fA"y it would be
impossible for them to believe it-but
it is sO-nice bOys-neVer known by
their parents to do "A wrong act.
Sunday afternoon any one can upon
going up quietly to an open freight Car
or around and under the freight house
at the depot, see half dozen or some
times dozens of men and even boys of
tender ages, gambling and swearing
for all they are worth:
You can then walk further out into
Spruance City and on a certain lot ana
you will see hole; 90 down into it,
and YOU will see a cave, a comfortable
room dug out: in il steve, and
around it crowd of men and boys at
the same business "a before Best time
to 20 i. Sunday. Nov this is given
the press by one who thinks "tht
easiest way is the best" Close out you
business and vacate said places at once
or the law shall take its course

Bethel A. NJ f. Church was the
centre Of interest to the colored people
on Wednesday evening, 5jh inst, in
what to them was one Of the most
fashionable weddings that has been in
the church for long time. The
church was in consequence filled to the
very vestibule The bride was Miss
Elizabeth +. DOlley, daughter of Wm.
Geo. Dolley, well to do truck farmer
near town, the groom was Thomas b.
Page, formerly of Virginia, who has
of late been residing IN Philadelphia
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. James Pritchett, pastor of Mt.
Zion Circuit.
The wedding march was played by
Mrs. NJ. Jones, Of Philadelphia. The
bride was attired in white brocade
china silk, trimmed with satin ribbons
and point lace; she carried large
bouquet of white flowers. The maid OF
honor was Miss Mary Scott of Phila-
delphia, who was beautifully attred
in cream white silk, Samuel Potts
was best man. The reception was
held at the residence of Mrs. John Z.
Viney, sister of the bride the table
was handsomely decorated and bounti.
fully laden with all the delcacies oil
the season. The presents were numer-
Gus. handsome and useful.
There were present about fifty in.
Vted guests, several of them from q
distance. The bridal party left on the
8 A. NJ. train for Philadelphia where
they will make their future home.

Matters of Interest to the NJ. E.
Church.

Presiding Elder Smith held his
fourth Quartly Conference for Asbury
Church, this town, on Friday evening.
1t was largely occupied with routine
Work-repOrts from the different de-
partment, appointments of committees
for the next year &c.
Besides this there were several other
items of interest to the public. Chief
of these was motion which received
the unanimous vote of the conference,
asking for the return of Rev. Adam
Stengle as pastor for the third year.
The next was the preparatory step
on the part of the church looking to
the meeting of the next session of the
Wilmington Conference here March
goth. The pastor said that the placing
in homes for a week some $50 persons
was no little task in a town the size of
Smyrna and he asked that a committee
be appointed to cooperate with him.
This was readily granted and the fol-
lowing persons named as that commit
tee, viz: John H. HOffeck er, Joseph
Smthers, J. w. Denney and VIM. H.
Baggs.
Action was also taken to facilitate
another matter with the view of get
ting it out of the way before Confer.
ence. When the organ and addition
for holding 1t were added to the church
| five years ago the money was all sub
sCrbed to pay for the Improvement.
1t was allowed to go uncollected and
settled through a former DastOrate,
amounting to "a clever little sum with
the added interest, when pastor Stengle
with company of lady collectors de
termined to grapple it last spring with
the hope of getting it entirely liQuidated
before Conference. A number contri-
buted well in monthly pay yments but
others did not, and it was found that
at the present rate of monthly receipts
there would he something like 5000 of
the debt still remaining at the APP
proach Of spring. All wanted the note
out OF bauK before th'. meeting of Con-
ference, and bright suggestion of
having public offering on Sunday
evening week, 23d inst, was accepted
and acted on. The following commit
tee was appointed to work it up. viz
Mrs. Kate Smithers, Miss Susie Hud-
son, Mrs. Lottie HOtfecker, Mrs. Mary
J. Bewley and Messrs. w. o. HOtIecke ker
and l.. M. Price. The suggestion
on which action which was taken was,
"a free, will Offering, by envelope" a
penny for each year the donor has
lived, or, As some may prefer, a nicke
or dime The idea has enough
novelty in it to be at least attractive,
but the committee will doubtless in the
way of address, music &c. make it one
of special interest, coming a. it does
the Sunday evening before the Christ
mas holiday
Pastor SteRgle announced that he
would commence prOtracted meeting
, with the watch-night services. The
great indifference which has been spe
, cially observable the past year or so by
the boys aud young men to Sunday
School and all church services was dis
cussed as a condition greatly to be re
gretted. The fact was noted that many
of them were children Of members o

half dozen or more orators in re-

made by Lemuel Ely Quigg,E. L. Mar

speech of the latter was spoken of by
the Philadelphia papers as creating
the greatest sensation of the evening
because it referred to state and sena-
torial matters. The following sentence
in reference to senatorial aspirant

gave the highest praise to the Newman,
which, he said, was far ahead of the Wild
Goose or Burbank, although the plum that
the fruit growers were looking for can not
be found. He advised the farmers to
choose the native varieties for their or
chards over the foreign. In reference to
cultivation, he said there were many meth
DDS but after all it depended upon the care
full attention of the fruit grower One great
trouble with him was the rot. The curculio
is "a great enemy to plums but the farmers
want to lay too much blame on this insect
In most case the fault lies in the lack of the
pOllenzatiOn of blossoms and II good way
to remedy this was to plant several vn-
rietes close together or near other fruit
trees SO as the pollenzatiOn may have n
better chance
The rest of the meeting was devoted to
asking questions on different varieties and
the proper mode Of cultivation. The meet
ing throughout was II profitable one and
our enterprising farmers are hoping for a
more general interest to ward advancing the
progress of scientific agriculture.
