We are having foretaste Of winter In
this vicinity.
Mr. Jacob Herman advcrtises "Iier-
mans Hall" for rent.
Farmers look out for pferdhuhukraukhelt
among your chickens. The horse disease
is nothing to 1t in It's effects.
Preparations are 10 progress for an tx
hibitlon &C tablequx by our pnblic schools,
about Thanksgiving, due notice Of which
will be given.
I. T. Tasker, Esq, Is about making ar
/ rangements for the rebuilding Of the
wharyes on the property lately purchased
for the rolling mill
Patrick O'Donnell has sold his lot, At
| the corner of Orange ana Harmony street,,
/ TO Emmanuel P. r. Church, on which, Il
is understood, they contemplate erectingG
neat Parsonage.
| The Register, on Saturday last, granted
letters of administration upon the estate
Of Charles E. Clark, late Of Wilmington,
deceased, unto Joseph +. Clark, of the
same city, father of the deceased.
Since the advent of the horse disease
among us, coal and store goods are belng
delivered with the wheel-barrow. A good
deep snow might he Of advantage now,
sleds being easier drawn by hand than
barrows.
The Register on Wednesday last, adj
mltted 10 probate the will Of Albln Temple
late Of Wilmington city, deceased, and
granted letters testamentary on the same,
unto Albin n. Temple, son oftho deceased,

And now we have a photograph saloon
In our midst, Mr.. Davies having fitted
up a part Of the store lately occupied by
Mr.. Bell on Market street for that purpose.
We are not Informed whether Il Is Intend
ed to be permanent or only during Court.
The party mania has broken out agalu,
this time among the more youthful por.
tion of our community, scarcely night
passing that there Ia not party at The
residence OF some one. The indications
now are that 1t will soon spread to tho
adult portion Of our people. So mote II
be.
The rumor that this would probably be-
short term Of Court now proves TO have
no foundation In fact, as II 10 more than
likely the Grand Jury will not complete
their labors before next week, and as tho
Civil list also Ia quite lengthy, the term
will last three weeks at any rate, If not
four, unless a number Of cases are post
pOncl I'LL May DcAt.
The Epizooiy remains il, statW guo, tina,
is In this neighborhood. One VI our citi-
zens whose horse became very bad, and
was expected to die, tried the experiment
Of making 1t inhale the fumes Of burning
sulphur, when II commented sneeziug nud
coughing violently, at The spnle time dis
charging from tie nose aud after day or
two commenced improving and Is now
well enough TO use moderately.
A number of the friends of our ntw
sheriff, In company with the Amphion
Cornet Band of this town, waited upon
him at his residence on Saturday evening
last. After the tenderof congratulations,
and several inspiriting tunes by the band,
the sheriff returned his thanks pnA invited
the company to plrtako Of q portion Of
the good things of this life, after which
the company dispersed to their homes,
highly pleased with their visit.
There was a smaller number Of horses
In town on Monday than at any tine upon
the first day of Court within the memory
ofour Oldest inhabitant. One ofour hotels,
at which there Is generally stabbed from
fifty to seventy horses, had only seven.
Another received but one. The usual rattle
and clatter of carriages consequent unon
the first day OF Court was entirely dispensed
with this season, and yet the number Of
people In attendance was unusually large.
Il has been suggested that II might he found
profitable to get In a supply Of Velocipedes,
Bycicles sc till the Epzooty becomes Il
thing of the past.
