There has been great deal of counting

Butter was selling, the past week, in
Wilmington, as high as 70 cents pound.
The attendance at the churches has been

The Town Bailiff has been widening and
repairing the sidewalk on High street, be-

A correspondent of the Baltimore Inner

Mr.. Calvin Marret has erected frame
dwelling, on the East end of High street,
which he designs employing as a residence

is improving quite rapidly.
Now that the cool mornings and even

have care for their bodily health to
attend to the matter of changing, with the
changing temperature Of the days, their
clothing. A little precaution in the prem
ises may save you many an hours suffer
ing and many dollar in doctors fees.
