| Monn OF Rums WoRK Joseph Rozelle who was
employed ostler, at the Indian Queen Hotel, for
many years, was attacked by mania -a-potu last
Tuesday, whom II was deemed prudent to send him.
/ to the Aims House. He behaved so strangely that
!, the superintendent thought best to lock him in
separate apartment over night, and on Wednesday
! morning, was much surprised to find him dead :
Coroner Pierce held au inquest and the Jury after
hearing the evidence in the case, returned verdict
| of death from intemperance, He had been drink
ing TO excess for several weeks, and the horrors Of
his last hours his disordored intellect was filed
/ with thousand terrible shapes, may be imagined,
but not described. His fate furnishes another les
4 son that should make the members of society feel
| the responsibility Of their position II men kill
| Themselves under the sanction, of law every man
should see that no portion Of blood attached to his
skirts that on his hand there is no stain. q
FiRE.-Ths coach fact ny of John tCountiss at
the Of Seventh aud ShipleY Streets, took fire
from some unknown cause, little after five o'clock,
last Tuesday afternoon, and Notwithstanding the eff
forts of the iremen and others, the roef was almost
entirely consumed The carriages were removed
from the building, with material, but the loss
which it ia supposed will reach some $1,000 $4,000,
Is partially covered by insurance in the Mutual Com.
pany of the State of Delaware ibis is the second
time that this building has had narrow escape
from destruction by fire, but we hope 1t may not
soon again be put in like jeopardy. We would sug.
| gest that sympathy with Mr. O. could best be ex.
pressed by the order OF carriage as his BUSH
will suffer but little interruption from this cas-.
| ualty.
We again call attention to the Delaware Rail
| Road Bonds that r r. Robinson d Co Corner Of
4th and Market Streets have for sale. These Bonds
are guaranteed by the P. W. a B. Rail Read Com
pany, principal and interest, and Will be seld

LAND SALEs.- Gov. Oaussy has sold 20 Nehemiah
Davis Jr, tillable lot on the eastsde Of the State
Road to Dover. at SITS per acre. and the west
side to H. b. Fiddoman, for the same price. These
high prices for land for agricultural purposes at
the pre'ent prices Of grain, but their proximity to
Milford renders them valuable for grazing or build
ing purposes.
Purnel Lofand has sold his several tillable lots
to VIM. Tharp and Thomas Wallace, at 800 per
ore, and taken in payment one half of the new
Schooner, J. H. Williams, owned by them.
PURCHASING AeENr.- 1t will be seen by adver.
tisement in another column, that Thomas Roach has
made arrangements to purchase all kinds Of mer-
chandise in philadelphia for storekeepers as well as
other residents In the country at cheaper rate than
they do for themselves, and is ready to serve
all with promptness. His terms are liberal and we
have no doubt that the agency will prove great
oemmoda tion to those who wish to frequently pro-
cured articles that be obtained short of Pha
delphia.
WILMINGTON GLEE AssoOIArIo.--We understand
that the members of this company have had m any
solicitations to repeat the concert given at Odd Fell
lows Hall, few evenings since. We hope they
will accede to the wishes Of their friends and others
and again present themselves candidates for pub
lilo favor. We think there would be little risk in
guaranteeing large audience. iIf they can be
persuaded to give another tertainment, we would
suggest this evening two weeks.
