The agricultural, commercial and manufac- turing interests of Newark are about equally mixed, the manufacturing, perhaps, slightly predominating. It contains many handsome buildings, public and private, has wide and well-shaded streets, and presents a very pleas- ant appearance. It is surrounded by a thriv- ing agricultural country, and has a wide di- versity of products, from the peaches and other fruits of the low lands to the south, to the corn and wheat, better suited to a hilly country. Among its industries are the No- nontum paper mill, a machine shop, numer- ous Hour and saw mills, ete. The White Clay creek, which flows through the town, fur- nishes magnificent water power, which is al- ready largely utilized, but still affords numer- ous fine sites for manufacturing establish- ments, with the best facilities for transporta- tion to all markets, by the P., W. & B., the Pennsylvania and Delaware railroad, which connects at Pomeroy with the main line of the Pennsylvania, and the new line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which runs through the western end of the town. One of the proudest boasts of Newark is the ex- cellence of her educational institutions. Apart from her numerous and good public schools the town possesses two educational in- stitutions, of which any place of its size might well be proud -Delaware College, and Newark Academy. The former institution was founded in 1833 by an act of legislature, many of the most prominent gentlemen of the peninsula being named as incorporators.

BIOGRAPHIICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA
A second charter was produced in 1882, with important modifications, one of which was that in consideration of the state aid extended to the institution, one pupil from each hun- dred in the state was to receive free tuition, said pupils to be appointed by the members of the legislature. Newark Academy is also a notable educational institution, having been in existence nearly a century and a half, and having educated during that time over 4,000 Young men. It originated in 1739 in a pri- vate school started by the Rev. Francis Alli- son, a graduate of the University of Glasgow, who came here in that year to superintend the education of the son of John Dickinson, governor of Delaware. This school was en- dorsed by the Synod of Philadelphia in 1744, and was chartered by Thomas and Richard Penn, in 1769, soon after it was brought back to this place from Elkton, whither it was re- moved about the year 1760. Since then its history has been uneventful, but has been marked by a steady progress in reputation and material prosperity, until now no institution of the kind in the country is more widely and favorably known.
The churches of Newark are: Episcopal; Presbyterian; Methodist; Roman Catholic; and two African churches. The A. F. and A. M .; I. O. O. F .; I. O. R. M .; I. O. H .; K. G. E .; K. of P .; and A. O. U. W., have organizations here.

NEW CASTLE is situated on the Dela- ware river and Delaware Division of the P., W. & B. R. R., thirty-four miles from Phila- delphia, and six miles from Wilmington, the county seat.

This was the seat of justice for the county until 1880, when it was removed to Wilmington. The city is sup- plied with gas and water works, good public schools, a fine opera house, two hotels, a bank, and manufactories, which include the Delaware Iron Company's works, William Lea & Sons Co.'s flour mill, woolen and cot- ton mills, ete., money order, telegraph and ex- press offices.

NEWPORT is a thriving village of 750 inhabitants, situated on the P., W. & B. R. R., four miles from Wilmington, thirty-one miles from Philadelphia, and sixty-seven from Baltimore. It is built on the north bank of the Christiana river, which is navigable here and considerably beyond for vessels of . moderate draught. It is the terminus of the old "Gap and Newport turnpike," which be- fore the days of railroads was the great high- way to the west, and over which the whole grain crop of Chester and Lancaster counties came to Newport to be shipped, or to furnish grist for the mills, which were then among the most important in the country. Though this great source of wealth is now lost to Newport, the town has supplied its place with other industries, and is now as prosperous and progressive as ever. A rich agricultural coun- try surrounds the village, the land being both naturally fertile and highly cultivated, and raising often as much as forty bushels of wheat, and one hundred bushels of corn per acre. A large rolling mill, for the manufac- ture of sheet iron and sheet steel, is operated by the Marshall Tron Company, and gives em- ployment to about seventy-five hands, and the Newport National Bank, with a capital of $75,000, and a surplus of $35,000, is a suc- cessful institution. An extensive business is carried on in the manufacture and sale of fer- tilizers. There are Masonic and Red Men's Lodges, a building association, good schools, ete. Churches-M. E .; P. E .; A. M.
