FROM WILMINGTON.

Our town was visited on the 2nd inst,
by Handenburgh & Co.'s Circus and
Mensgerie, and contrary to the 'quid0
huncs" of an adjacent town, (tbc ugh we
suppose we ought to style it something
more than town, but we can't see it,
WHO were kind enough to exhibit their
prejudices against our place by endeav-
oring to dissuade their agent from post
ing their bills here, by false statements,
to the effectthat our town was rather i'm
signi6cant-in a word, totally incapable
of accommodating so large a body or
company of men and horses, was well
attended, both afternoon and evening;
and to the credit of our unassuming lit
tie place, the entire company acknOwi-
edged that they were far better enter
tanned by mine host of the Railroad Ho-
tel, than they were at a certain pseudo
grand town a little way back. We also
learned from the treasurer that their re-
ceipts were larger here than at the afore
mentioned town, so we suppose we may
consider ourselves ''some pumpkins. ~

our neighbors and friends Of the '9uido

We have examined
Letters Patent No. LOG, COS, dated August
3D., 1870, granted to Richard Mitchell, of
Smyrna, Delaware, and find them to be
Tor fruit basket made by the combina-
ton of 'inwardly curved staves," a,
thickened beveled hoops, B, and per-
1t is the combination of these three eIe-
ments which constitute the invention of
Mr.. Mitchi II.
You state to us that the beveled hoops.
perforated disc bottoms, in combination
With slaves not inwardly curved, have
been in con mon nse since 1864 that you
are now, and have been for s0ine time
past, engaged in the manu- .acturs of
fruit baskets made by the combination
of slaves not inwardly-curved, thicken-
ened beveied hoops, and perforated disc
bottoms, such as you Say have been in
use for the past seven years, and that
Mr.. Mitchell threatens to prosecute not
only yourselves for the manufacture of
such baskets, but also all persons who
may use them.
In regard to the subject Of infringe
ment, it is well settled that it is no in
fringement of patent for combination
unless all of the essential parts of 1T are
substantially initiated. See Bell Us. Dam

Chief Justice fancy, N speaking of a
combination Patent. held, 1.-THE use of
any two of these parts only, or of two
tfafyy iifis. eni't in the form or the MAN
ner OF its arrangement, is not the thing
patented. 1t is not the SHINE combine
tien if il substantially differs from IT in
any of its parts.
If Mr.. Mitchell had invented not Cnly
the inwardly curved slaves, but the ev-
eled hoops and perforated disc bottoms,
and suffered the two last mentioned TO
go into common use for more than two
years, in combination with straight
slaves or slaves not inwardly-curved, his
patent would avail him nothing as
against you. See Section 7, Act of Con-
gress, 1889; Section "a, Act of 1870.
We are of opinion that the manufac-
ture, sale, and use OF the baskets which
you say sou are now making, is no in
Engagement of Mr.. Mitehells Patent, and
can subject no one to liability for max

Hon. 10 Build up a Toi0n.-An exchange
hitsit when it says the best way to build
up town is for every business man in
the place to advertise his business in the
columns of his local paper, and thus pre-
sent an array of business houses equal to
the number of business houses on the
street. 1t draws trade to the town,
draws produce to the town, draws mo-
ney to the town. fla man wants to buy
anything, hegoes where he sees the most
men trying to sell that article. If he
wants to sell anything he goes where the
most men are buying. Ifa man wants
to buy groceries or sell produce, he goes
to the man that advertises, for he knows
where to find HIM, and what he has to
sell.
This is undoubtedly the grand secret
of the success of many fiourishing towns
Smyrna among others. Still there are
a number OF our business men who have
nat awaited themselves of the advanta-
ges offered by the use of our advertising
columns. 10 all such we would say,
follow the examples of your more pros.
porous neighborS, and advertise freely.
Judictous advertising will Arrays pay q
large PERCENTAGE upon money invested
in such purpose.
