The act regulating the Municipal
Court of Wilmington of which Wal
ter CImmins, Esq, has recently
been appointed judge, requires that
court shall be held every day in the
week except Sunday throughout
the year. Judge Cummins it will
be seen will not have any time to
go fishing unless he takes Sunday
for it, and he cannot do that be-
cause he is a vestryman of Trinity
Church. The term of Office is
twelve years, a long time to wait
for an opportunity to take the
angling rod for a little recreation.
Horace Greeley however, beat this.
In life of thirty years in running
the Tribune he had not found an
idle day that he could take to go
a fishing.

Five years ago through the inf1u-
ence mainly of George H. Ray
mond, Rectory fund Of $1,700 was
raised, which with interest now
amounts to $4,000. A citizen of
the neighborhood offered $500 to To-
cate it there, making $4,000 to be
gin with, and nearly ample to COM
plete the job. The furnishings will
come under separate fund.
The first union service of the
Methodist and Presbyterian con-
gregations on Sunday was one of
decided interest and satisfaction, as
manifested by a well filled house
of attentive auditors. The choir
opened with voluntary sugges-
tive of a Madrigal, a beautiful Sc
lection and well rendered. Rev. Mr..
Umsted preached on the Unity of
the Christian Faith" a sermon of
mature thought, spiced with indi-
vidualisms that energised the broad
views of christian doctrine, which
arrested to a great degree the at
tention of the hearers and gave
them food for reflection. At the
close of the service the large audi
ence retired apparently well pleas
ed with the services. TIL preacher
in his opening prayer and the Rev
Mr.. Rigg in the closing prayed for
rain which was responded to by
audible amens, and at night while
the latter was preaching the pat
tering drops came down causing
him to remark that it was like
music to the ear, the Lord reigneth
let the earth rejoice"
IMPROVEMENT AT THE MA
TIONAL BANK OF SMYRNA
The workmen commenced a few
days ago to make important
changes at what is termed the "Old
Bank" that will greatly add to its
convenience while making it a
commodious and handsome bank
ing room. The stairway that as
cended from the rear of the bank
ing room to that of the directors
has been entirely taken away and
the ascension is now made from
the private room in the rear. The
counter and it's surmounting of
fancy scroll work which runs
lengthwise of the room is to be re-
moved and a new one with wrought
iron guards or railing of handsome
design will run transversely across
the room. The change will give
about the same space to the pa
irons and the public, while the Of
