Street Commissioner; the Wood Corders; Har
Dor Master, and other nice Offices; numbering
at least iwonty Eve or thirty, and we bsliev'
there is bnt one or two soldiers In them all. !
Now the belief OF the Gazette amounts Il
nothing In the face Of the following statements
which show conclusively that the Republican
party OF this city, as elsewhere, is now, as al
| ways, the abiding aud true friend Of the sol.
diers who fought TOR the Republic. Instead Of
appointing souly one or two, in filing all the
lists of Offices above named, there are really
nine soldiers and three sailors who served In
the U. s. Navy on the police alone. The state.
ment here given is gouohed for by High Con-
stable Dougberty.

pleted and finished substantial safe for the
National Bank of Sesford, weighing about
Q 800 pounds, to be deposited In the vault
This safe it is said, 10, in many respects, far
superior to those built in the larger cities, and
1t Is surprising that Wilmingtonians should not
have the preference. Mr.. Woolman has In his

a Curiosity WIN. H. Chadwick has on ex.
hibition at his Varieties and Museum opposite
the City Spring, in West Fourth Street, the
large ottar which was shot by Mr.. Davis on the

ter tribe. Mr.. O. is very fond of collecting
and preserving curiosities and he now has the
finest pathological collection 10 this State.-
We understand that he looks forward to the
time when he will be able to extend his estab.
lishment and abandon the hotel business to
other hands.

North East corner of Second and French Sts
It Ia unnecessary to speak OF the ingenuity and
powers ofMr. Gavin Thompson-he is too well
known to our citizens as being practical me-

upon the staff of Gen. Tyler, and conducted
himself throughout the war with credit to
himself aud honor to the State.
The BulPs Head.-This long established
Hotel, situated in Fourth street, between Ship
ley and Orange, is great place of resort for
farmers. The extensive stabling in the i'm :
mediate vicinity of the markets are convenient
and easy of access. Mr.. VIM. Ward the pro-
prietor, is courteous aad attentive, and uses
every exertion to provide for his numerous

Rockldnd Mechanics Iastttute.-The citizens
of Rockland have established reading room
&C.. under the above name. They have Low
nearly 100 books, and expect TO add newspa-
pers aud other publications. The movement ID

be entirely successful. Messrs. Jessup
Moore very generously made a contribution to
the enterprise and we hope they may be en-
| couraged to repeat it, as the right kind O.
reading generally makes attentive and rel iabi,
workmen. Credit is also due to Mr.. W. Lux,
