The Gardens. It used to be a prevailing idea with the farmers' wives in the country that, if they did not plant their gardens by the I lib of February, they would have no garden truck fortheir dinner tables. If the idea is correct then they stand a poor chance this year, for we imagine that there are very few planted thus far this season, and it is now considerably past the conventional time. The cold, during the month, has been severe, nd this, with the great amount of wet weather, has made it next to impossib'e to plough or sow. r The Last of Earth All that is mortal of Edward Kidder wasto-day conveyed to its last resting place inOakdale Cemetery that beautiful city of the dead ot which the deceased was one of the earliMHprojectors.

Van Bokkeien, President offhc Chamber of Commerce, who stated that the object of the meeting was to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of their late member. Mr. Ed ward Kidder. Mr. Van Bokkeien spoke in en logy of the deceased, of hi stric: attention to business and consid eration of the interests r f those in the same line of business, and sympathy for those in distress, and stated that Mr. Kidder was a man firm in his con victions and would be missed as a counsellor and aider of all public mat ters, independent of personal profit or consideration of personal advance ment. On motion of Dr. A. J. DeRosset, seconded by Mr. Donald McRae, a com. inittee ol five was appointed to draft suitable resolutions upon the death of the deceased, and Messrs A. J. DeRos set. B. F. Mitchell, Alfred Martin. B. G. Worth and George Harriss were named as that committee. The committee, through Dr. A. J. D-'Rosstt, reported as follows: Testimonial in Memory of Edward Kidder. Adopted by the Chamber of Commerce, teb. 27M1885: , Our whole community, after more than a week of painful anxiety and sus pense, occasioned by the announcement ot the dangerous illness ot Mr. Edward Kidder, has been thrilled in every mem ber with grief and sorrow by its fatal termination on the night of Wednes day, 25th inst. Born in New Hampshire, A. D , 1805. he removed to this city in 182G. and for nearly three score years has been al ways among the foremost in planniug and promoting every enterprise which has be n undertaken for the advance ment of the material progress of our city, and of the educational, moral and religious good of our people. His sound judgment and wonderful energy in the management ot bis busi ncss have secured to him a degree of success to which lew have attained; and his unquestioned integrity, large hearted charity and unostentatious be nevolence have won for him the respect and admiration of all. High as was his position as a busi ness man and a citizen, those who were most intimately connected with him can testify to the loveliness of charac ter which adorned him in his private life. It is, therefore, eminently fit and projjer that this assemblage of friends and members of the Chamber of Com merce, with whom he has so loug been associated, have been called together to give expression to their sense of the great loss which has been sustained in the death of such a man, and it is un animously Jlesolvid, That this testimonial shall be recorded in the books of the Cham ber, and that a blank page of the same shall be appropriated for the record of the name of Mr. Kidder and the dates of his birth and death. Resolved, further. That a copy of these proceedings, with the signatures of the President and Secretary, be trans mitted to the family of the deceased, with the assurance of our sympathy and sorrow in their bereavement, and of our high estimate of the precious leg acy .he has left them in the memory of bis lite and character. The report on motion was accepted by a standing vote. In seconding the motion to accept the report Mr. W. Calder said: Mr. Cm a i umax: In seconding the resolutions presented by your com mittee, I can add but little to their truthful estimate of the life and char acter of oar deceased friend. His con temporaries for many years, their tes timony is the highest evidence we can have of the great public and private virtues that made him so estimable a citizen. For the younger portion of our com munity, I am sure I but echo their sen time.nts when I say that to us he has always appeared a tower ot strength, and a liv.ng example oi what great en ergy, untiring industry and unassaila ble integrity may accomplish. He won his means and position by no meretri cious methods, and without resorting to those hazardous ventures by whicb men in these modern days attempt to get rich fa3t leaping before they walk. The means he used was bard work, directed by an intelligent will, and the ends he atiained redounded not only to his own good, but also to the advance ment and happiness of the community at large. While many know how to make money, tew know how to spend it well, but be possessed the rare com bination of knowing how to make, to save and to spend, and iu all of these to benefit those among whom be lived, as well as to advance his own fortunes. The business and manufactories be conducted and aided, the public works he founded, the hospitality he dispens ed, have all added to the ealth. the comfort or the happiness of those among whom he lived. For his active industry, his correct business methods, his open-handed hos pttaiity. his wise and unostentatious charity, he will lor.fr be lemembered . as a worthy example to the rising REVIEW.

It i3 exprctc ci that the ball will be continued by the '"boys and girls of larger growth" after the little ones have gone home, but the matter is not yet definitely determined upon. Ice Works and Cold Storage. We learn from Messrs. W. E. Worth & Co. that they propose erecting an ico machine and cold storage buildiugs ngs at the intersection of Second and Campbell streets. The ice ma. chine will be of the latest and most approved pattern and of sufficient ca pacity to supply the demand for the city of Wilmington. The cold storage building will be large enough to meet all requirements and so constructed as to be cusily enlarged if necessary. Ihei e machine makes ice directly from steam ; the stream being condens cd and the condensed water frozen into blocks of ice 14 inches thick, 22 inches wide, and 37 inches long and weighing 200 pounds, clear and pure. The cold storage rooms will be kept at a temperature of from 32 to 35 de ?l"P.03 nr. whirh tpmnAmlnra hntlm- ' ..-.Kv., . uutwi, meats of all kinds, fruits, etc., can be kept for months. It these cold storage facilites are taken advantage of the citizens of Wil mington can have as good butter and as sweet and tender meats as the citi zens of any city in the United States. The rates for coid storage will be such that every grocer and butcher can well afford to lake advantage of them. Ueatli of Cant. Jack Gritfitli. Capt. John Griffith, one of the oldest citizens of t he place and one of the best known, died at bis residence in this city at 1 :30 o'clock this afternoon, at the advanced aga of 80 years. "Capt. Jack Grit," as he was fami liarly known ot all,, was one of the landmarks of Wilmington and his life has beea in its way an eventful one. He was born in Pittsburg, Peon., and the cause of his locating in "Wilmington was an accidental one. He was on a vessel bound tor Some port to the South of us, when quite a young man, and was wrecked on this coast. He come on to Wilmington with the survivors ot the vessel, and was so much pleased with the place and the people that h established himself here in bis business, that of a sail-maker, and has remained here ever since. He was a noted ar,d a noble fireman, and was for a long term of years foreman of Wilmington Hook & Ladder Co. No I. On the 22d day of February, 1865, he was commissioned by the late Hon. John Dawson, the Mayor of the city, to surrender the place to the Federal troops, and this be did. He met Gen. Terry on his entrance into Wilmington and formally surrendered the town into bis hands. He was afterwards, direct ly alter the close of the war, a captain ot the police, in whieh position he served with bis usual zeal and fidelity. Capt. Griffith had been sick bat for a very short time, he having taken to his bed last Monday. His last act previous to this was to pay a visit to his friend and partner, Mr. James F. Anderson, who died on that day. ' The Boy Clipper Row has earned a reputation of being the best ever used and are pronounced perfect by the best former.
