DELAWARE Observation-Disclosures TUESDAY

". d. WIeeINs stated that the delay in
making the City Map had been occasioned
~ me various changes made in the boun'
uaries, &c. He said he was glad that this
opportunity had been given him for explana-
uoni as he perceived by various notices that
tne editor OF the Delaware journal was
greatly exercised about the matter, and un-
less something was done for his speedy re-
pest"
The above is an extract from the reported
proceedings of the meeting of the City
Council, held on last Thursday evening.
We are pleased to know that our thunder
has at last ''waked up the Rip Van Wrinkle
compiler of the inevitable city map. We
are also glad to learn the reason why Mr..
Virgins has been slumbering so long over
his work. "Vdrious changes in The boun-
ddrfes, &c, v are the cause, he tells US. We
know all abont the ''various changes in the
Boundaries" and so does the public but
neither ourself nor the public generally
know what the "&c," means Ii is whis-
pered that &c" in this instance means dead
horse, " and that Mr., Wiggins labors on the
