and as all her contiguous and urban
citizens well know, is making rapid tenn
poral advances.
Water and steamboat communication
with Philadelphia and the markets Of the
world has unquestionably added to the
dity Of Frederica and the happiness
of her citizens. Situated at the head Of the
Murderkin river, an easily navigable
stream to the Delaware Bay, she has an
immense physical advantage over al the
Delaware towns except New Castle, De-
aware City and Lewes.
T'redericas beng six miles from the
railroad station never for a moment dis
turbs her 600 or 700 inhabitants. II they
can sail a sloop or manage a motorboat,
or pay the small steamboat rate, what
matter is railroad communication to them,
for in a night and even while asleep they
can be in the heart Of tho second city in
America
Frederica has two progressive churches
and one OF these. the Methodist Episco-
pal. with the able and polished E. ii.
