THE INDUSTRY OF WILMINGTON No. l..

Hoop Shirts, and How They Make Them.
Thinking il would interest our lady readers to
know something more of that Indispensable
article Of apparel, the hoop skirt, We recently
looked through the skirt mandatory of Peters
Il Woollcy, at the corner of Eighth and Market
Streets.
1t is unnecessary for us to describe the wire of
which the skirt is made. That used by this firm
is manufactured at Ansonia, Conn, and is said to
be of superior quality, having highly glazed
SUI face which can be cleansed when soed. This
wire is placed on reels In the factory, in the base
mcnt of the Institute Building and is rceled of
into the wooden forms from which the skirts
take their shape. The skirts are composed Of
but one single wire wound spiraly around the
FORM" After the wire Is thus wound it is
tapped or tied accordingly ms II may be intended for
tape or woven skirt. In the tape skirts, the
tapes are fastened to the hoops by patent clasps,
which are rapidly crushed to their proper shape
by an iron machine made for The purpose. The
sheep skin binding is then placed over the ends
of the short hoops around the top Of the skirt
and the skirt taken TO the finishing room, where
I these ends are rapidly secured 10 tho leather by
small buttons fastened on by machinery. The
eyeleis are then put on and the skirt is ready for
the salesroom. They employ about twenty-five
hands in their factory, and turn out ON M average
about one hundred dozen skirts week.
The skirts when finished ARE carried To their
salesroom, which is, by the way, just newly
papered and improved. making it one OF the most
handsome stores on Market street. They hare
here skirts ct all styles and sizes, and all they

4 MOTHER DESTROYS HER oFfsPRiSG.--fes-
tcrday about noon some boys playing alongside
the rniroad found a package in an old iron pipe
just above 2nd St., and buck of the yard of Lob
dell's upper Foundry. 1t was wrapped up in n
newspaper, and when the paper was taken of,
the package was found to contain the body of
new born infant. 1t had no clothing on, hut was
wrapped up In some pieces OF muslin, and n
newspaper wrapped around these.
Deputy Coroner Curry was informed of the
matter, and summoned a jury. which has not yet
rendered Its verdict. DIR. Jones made post NOR
tenn examination, and decided that 1t had been
born alive. 1t seems TO have been smothered or
strangled.
The child Is very pretty little girl, and has
well shaped head, and beautiful features. 1t is
hard to conceive how a mother could have SO
hardened her heart as to destroy such IN infanl
even though 1t was to hide her shame.
We will give the facts as shown by the verdict
of the jury tomorrow. They adjourned yester-
day until O'Clock this evening. -Bfonaays Com

The Gazette has very Incomplete account of
the meeting on Wednesday evening, nj the con-
clusion Of which It says -
"When the question on the second resolution
was put, motion for adjournment was made
which was rejected. The vote on the resolution
was then taken by those favorable TO the resolu-
ton going to one side of the hall, ind those favor
able to adjournment going to the other. and avod
the confusion, the chairman decided the meeting
adjourned.
The meeting, If II proved anything. proved that

To which we have to say simply that the ques-

chair did not put II promptly, and some gentle
men attempted TO debate the second resolution,
the question on the adjournment was then put
and the chair being unable to decide, division

went TO one side of the hall, and those opposed
to adjournment went to the other side, and a
large majority was found to be in favor of the
motion to adjourn. Does the GAZETTE expect any

Mn. GRANVILLE WoRREI.I has just received
new and splendid stock of carpetings oil cloths,
mattings de-, at his fine store on Market street,
below Third. We stepped in Monday morning to
look al his assortment, and were really surprised
at the extent and excellence of the display, rival
ling that of the best houses on Chestnut street.
1t has been the custom of many Delawareans to
make their purchases of fine carpets in New
York and Philadelphia, because they have be-
leved that they could have better stock to select
fiom at lower prices; but we have no doubt that
If they would make an examination of Mr.. WIS
present stock, they would not go out of Whining
DON this season to buy carpets. We are confident
and are pretty well informed ms to the facts of the
case, that Mr.. Worrers prices for fine Carpetings
are In some cases five per cent lower than the
same grades Of goods in Philadelphia, and fifteen
TO twenty per cent. lower than they were one
month ago. Besides the quality and make of
goods heretofore sold at this store, we noticed II
new line of Kidderminster, containing some OF
the richest and most elegant figures we have ever
seen. We advise our lady friends whether or not
they design to purchase during the coming spring
To drop in and take look at Mr.. Worrells stock.

OUR LETTER BOX.

Messrs. Editors IL have often wanted to
know where the editors of the COMMERCIAL
came from. and In looking over the Delaware
Gazette, of February list, my curiosity was salts
fed, the editor informing me they came "all the
way from Pennsylvania" Why, Mr.. Gozehe, it
Is only few miles to Pennsylvania; know ex-
actly where the line il, but unless some beievo-
lent persons should give you helping hand, it
will be hundred years before you reach it.
Pennsylvania Is model State. 1t is stated rs
u fact, that in Montgomery county that the ex-
cution of Huddopp, on the 9th. was the first one
for the crime of murder that ever took place in
that county, not only the first execution but the
first case in which Montgomery county jury
rendered Il verdict of murder in the first degree.
No whipping post there! wonder how they
manage 10 scare the rogucs away they must
have some new .dodge." If we were not so
"dill of learning especially of understanding
new things the experience Of Others might help
lis ont of our 'atject state." o.

of Delaware, and especially of this city, will hail
with delight your friendly recognition of the tenn

MERcrAL" of Saturday last. On behalf of the

and most influential temperance organization in
the State, herby tender their hearty co-opera-
ton with any and every society or party who
may be willing to work for the salvation of the
poor inebriatc and his unfortunate dependents.
| II is almost universally conceded that we have
the moral power within ourselves to crush intem-
pemnce if we would only exercise it. This is GER
tany my fixed opinion, and gladly unite with
the rest of the fraternity in welcoming your
journal to the field of conflict with desperate
enemy. Yours respectfully,

In answer to the queries of our friend from
