Poison PEReUME.-Tb is a we'll know
fact that the perfume of some kinds of
flowers are injurious to health. and even
causes death, if flowers are kept in a con-
lined space frcquented by men at the same
time. One Of the local papers of the city
OF Lyons now records the fact of death by
aaphyzia suffered by a lady who slept in
a room wherein large quantity of quinc-
es vas kept. According to scientific EVIL
fenee given in this instance, ths air Of the
room vas largely viriated with peculiarly
snffocating perfume, and very consider
able amount of both carbonic acid and car
BONE oxide gas. The room in question
was always used as bedroom no fire had
been lighted in it, nor was there any other
aiscernlh!e canse for the death Of this lady
found, but the exhalations Of the fruit.

The IneIement season.

and lis effects on the Weak and Feeble.
The draft which searching cold makes
upon the vital powers of the debilitated and
delicate are5not less severe than the drain
upon their strength, caused by excessive
heat. The vast disparity between the tenn
perature Of over-heated rooms and offices,
at this season, and the frigidity of the outer
air, is a fruitful source OF sickness. To fort
ify the body against the evil consequences
of the sudden alterations Of heat and cold
referred to, the vital organization should be
strengthened and endowed with extra re-
sistant power by the use OF a wholesome IN
vigorantj and, of all preparations for this
purpose, whether embraced in the regular
pharmacopoeia, or advertised in the public
journals,) there is none that will compare in
purity and excellence with HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS. Acting directly upon
the organ which converts the food into the
fuel OF life, the preparation imparts to it a
tone and vigor which is communicated to
every fibre of the frame. The digestive
functions being accelerated by its tonic op-
Grafton, the liver regulated by its anti-bil-
iOus properties, and the waste matter of the
system carried or punctualIy by its aperient
action, the whole organization will neces-
sarIly be in the best possible condition to
meet the shocks of winter and the sudden
changes of temperature. The weak and
sensitive, especially, cannot encounter
these vicissitudes with safety, unless their
tender systems are strengthened and braced
by artificial means. Every liquor sold as a
staple of trade is adulturated, and, were it
otherwise, mere alcohol is simply tempo
rary excitant, which, when its first effects
have subsided, leaves the physical powers
[and the mind as well,) in a worse condi-
tion than before. HOSTETTER'S BITTERS,
on the other hand, contain the essential
properties of the most valuable tonic and
Alternative roots, barks and herbs, and their
active principal is the melIowest, least ex-
citing, and most inocuous Of ali diffusIve

PHILIP PHILLIPS CoNCERT.-Quite
large audience assembled at william
Street NJ. E. Church last Thursday
night, to spend ''an evening of sacred
song'' with Mr.. Phillips, the "Singing
Pilgrim" Mr.. Philips has a fine, clear
and pure tenor voice, and favored the
audience with some popular selections
of sacred music, interspersed with re-
marks on congregational singing, the
intent Of vocal musis, and like subjects.
He was assisted by Mr.. Davis, who
charmed the audience with a few So
los in a splendid bass voice-ricb, full
and melodious. The receipts were in
the neighbnrhood of S2OO-net amount
of which is to be applied to the pur-
chase of an organ for the church.

ESCAPE AND RECAPTURE.-MOnd
evening young German, named VIII.
liam Rantz, confined in the county jail,
charged with burglary, succeeded in
escaping. In the absence Of Sheriff
Brown, and before he had been locked
up in his cell for the night, be dug q
hole through the inside brick wall and
got into the attic, from whence he dug
through the outside wall near the roof,
and reached the ground by means of q
pole tied with a portion of his bed
clothing and suspended from the hole.
During the next day Marshal Cochrane
received information which led him to
suspect the escaped prisoner was lurk-
ing around town, and making search
he soon discovered him snug " hid un-
der the floor OF an unused building on
the premises of J. J. Richerts. He is
now back again in his old quarters,
where he will probably be kept in clos
er confinement in the future.

From CALIFoRN1A.-From 3 letter

So We are having beautiful winter
weather, this being the coldest morn

The hills are green, and everything
looks like May in Ohio. We. have a
large surplus Of wheat in store, and
there is Q very large amount soWn,
probably more than usual at this time
OF the year. Wheat sells at S1,75 per
100 lbs; -four, s. to IS per bbI.; pota-
toes cent per lb, apples Sets, pears
cts.y grapes 5 to 10 cts, &c. There is
great excitement in regard to the new

FREE FIGHTS. Saturday night last
seemed prolific of drunken rows. Quite
an extensive one occurred at the saloon
Of Fred. Rapp, on Winter Street, at
which heads, windows, show cases,
counters, &c, were smashed in a pro-
uliscuous manner-the participants dis
turbing the neighborhood and making
the night hideous with their noise. The
other, of less magnitude, took place at
a saloon near the Delaware run. In
neither case, we believe, were any OF
the participants injured seriously.
The parties engaged in the melees
were arrested Monday for disorderly
conduct, and fined in various sums by
Mayor Van Deman.

CITY IMPROYE1EENT.-FrOm present
indications, there viii be more build
ings erected in Delaware the coming
season than ever before in a single year.
These will be mostly of a class which
will honor our thriving young city and
reflect credit upon their enterprising
builders. We know of several brick
business blocks in contemplation,
which will give us fourteen fine store
rooms for the accommodation of our
rapidly increasing business. In one of
these will be located a large and com
modious public HsII-arranged and
planned after the latest and most ap-
proved style. Several elegant dwell
ings are also under contract, and many
more less pretentious ones win be erec-
ted. The new Court House will be fin
ished-which, with the new Alumni
Hall of the o. w. University, and the
I'd Presbyterian Church, will be build
iDgs which would do credit to any
place. In subsequent issue we intend
going into full details as to the co ntem-
plated improvements.

GEN. HowARD's LECTURE.-The lee
ture of Gen. o. o. Howard, before the
University Lecture Association, last
Friday. evening, was not as we'll attend
ed as those which preceded it. His
subject was, My Late Southern Tour"
and the lecture consisted of an inter
esting and instructive narrative of the
condition ofthe people ofthe South from
an educational, social, political and In
dustrial standpoint, as he had found
them in bis extended journey of obser-
vation, together with his views as to
what steps are needed to bring the
South back to loyalty and prosperity.
The lecture was delivered in a pleasant
manner, and those who attended eRtRY-
a rare treat.
Gen. Howard received a number of
the officers and soldiers of the city in
in the parlors of the American House
previous to the lecture.

Jacksonville, Florida, of B. F. Sanborn,
of this place. Mr.. Sanborn was a
young man ofgreat promise. He gradu-
ated at the o. w. University with the
class of 1867, and was for time engag-

soon compelled by i'll health to relin-

spent in the mild climate of Florida
would prove beneficial to him, accom-

went thither last fall. He has many
friends here who will be pained to hear
of his death, and deeply synpathize
