sending bureau and some other articles of furniture
70 be mended. On inquiring into the cause of his
anger we ascerained shat few months ago he fur
njsbed the greater part of his house from Phade-
mia Ware Room, because he, like too many of his
ownsmen supposed he could save at least thirty per
rent BY purchasing in the city, and we could not feel
the least sympathy for him that he found out his mis-
ake at such cost. The history of the Bureau, from
which we may form all opinion of what he saved in
other purchases is this tho exterior very hand

cents or two dollars less than bureau equally hand
some could be bought for in Wilmington; but we ven
ture to assert that no cabinet maker in this Borough
would suffer such limsy piece of work to be turned
out of his shop 1t had been in but very short
'time and was umblng to pieces, and to have it re-
paired it will cost him least the difference between
the price he paid for it and the charge for one he
might have purchased at home. Add to this the cost
Of freight and porterage. and very little calculation
will show how much he sared by going to Phladel-

their Defence to take measures to check course
of conduct which has been too long pursued, to the
serious Injury of themselves and the prevention of the
growth and prosperity of the town.
In any remarks which we have made, or may make,
on subjects like the noticed, we wish it to be
clearly understood that entertain no disrespect to-
wards the mechanics of other places. We wish them
well, and only advocating the same plan that they
would like to have pursued towards themselves by their
fellow citizens In conclusion we will offer Toast
for the glorious Fourth of July.
