RrmnvnI Of I,nrhnue.

Council, last evening, passed an ordinance
which provides for the removal Of garbage from
the city. This will be welcome intelligence to
the seven thousand housewives Of Wilmington,
who have been so long pestered with the accu-
mutations OF offal about their premises, much
TO their modification and regret.
The new ordinance appears to be efficient to
produce the ends for which it IL designed. by
IT, the cityis divided into four Garbage Districts.
Market and Sixth streets being the separating
hues and provision is made for the employment
of a sufficient number of carts to visit each and
every street, lane and alley in the city on alter
nate days, from the first Of November until the
first Of May, and daily, (sunday exceptedD from
the first Of May to the LIST Of November. The
ordinance further requires that the drivers shall
not only drive the carts through the city, but
that they shall co ollect and renloUe the offal.
We suppose that it was the intention of Coun-
Gil that the ordinance should take effect at once.
No. time is fixed for the commencement OF it's
operations by the ordinance itself.

THE PROGRESS OF REBUILDING THE CITY.
A Chicago correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, writes:
by the ii 1t of lie ember at least two thirds
of the businoss portion will be rebuilt, and by
spring reoccupled. The board Of trade has
rear sd It's lofty heights and ma snilic 70 on the
corner of La Sale and Washington streets. 1t
is by far the finest building in the city. Potter
Halmer, a millionaire, is al present constructing
a large fire proof hotel upon State and Monroe
streets, built entirely OF iron and brick, with
marble hnlshings.
The Pacific Hotel is TO be finished by the first
of November. This building occupies nea ly a
square. Sherman a Bros. the proprietors of
the present Sutrnan House, on Madison ave-
nue. are to rent it. The Old courthouse is be-
ing rapidly torn down, except the eastern wing,
which will be reserved for court until the west
wing il completed. The post office is still in si-
lence standing, with shattered Ut me upon one
side. while the front upon Monroe and Doar-
born streets iA unscathed and worth repairing.
1t should be sold for a business house. IL is a
waste Of material to pull it down. As a relic it
should be preserved OF the great fire i'll October,
1871. McNckers theatre is nearly completed,
but the Tribune Office, large printing estab-
lishmeDt adjoining, built OF Lake superior
stone and fre-prUOf, is slowly progressing
This is sple ibid building, very attractive to
the city. Tue great Union railroad depot If
commenced to be built, and is to surpass in cosl
and beauty the former building. The Rock
Island depot is slowly but surely raising itsell

the acceptance Of President Hnckly's PROPOSE
tion reached. by an unanimous vote it was re-
iscted. and Council is as far from solution OF
the problem as it was whom the widening OF the

still another plan is proposed. 1t is this To
widen the street twenty-five feet on the South
erly side from it's present line beginning at the
Western limits OF the city and continuing as far
AZ French street, leaving that portion of the
street east of French in its present condition.
The two new roads will then cross the tracks Of
the p. W. Il b. somewhere beyond the Western
line of the city, and thus obtain access to the
Cnristiana and the various coal yards along it,
obvatng all necessity for transhipment to the
P.w. 4 b. Railroad. The purchase OF the Huns

for depot purposes by the W. & Il. and the Il

FAMILY REUNION AFTER THIRTY YEARS SEPARATION.
There are many uHwritten incidents connected
with the era OF slavery, convincing us even
more strongly Of its shocking inhumanties, its
unholy tendencies, and its cruel separation of
those who had been joined as partners for life.
Chester county paper furnishes an account of
ruthless separation and happy Reunion after
80 years. The particulars are these
About 80 years ago a oolOred man escaped
from bondage in the State of Maryland and lied
to Canada, leaving behind him his wife and two
children. Dissatisfied with Canada, he left for
New York, where he remained few years and
finally removed TO Chester county, where he has
amassed some property. During those years,
he had frequently written for information OF his
wife and children, but never could obtain any
satisfactory information.
His wife, after the war, removed to York Co.,
whore they have since resided, the mother per
forming domest G luties in white family. About
two weeks ago the father learned their where
Gbouts and proceeded to her home. He was
very cordially received, and sumptuous repast
spread for him. Up to this time his wife had
not made her appearance, although he knew
she was not far of and he would soon have .
sight of her. She came at last and stoUd fol
some moments before him, before either OF
them uttered single word.
The old man at length broke the silence
"Maisy, says he, ''you-you you're looking old.
We'll" was the response, 'if does look old,
doesn't look any older den you does" The seem
that followed can be more readily imagined thai
described. The shock OF the first meeting owe
and recognition fully established, they en-
braced each other and INDUCED in those out
breaks OF feeling and affection which only per
sons similarly situated could, who have bee
separated for thirty years. The next mornin
they all left for his home in Chester county
where they will no doubt spend the evening G
their days in that comfort and quiet which weI
denied them In their earlier years.

How tl,e sItuIl Protects the brain.

A child bears knocks which would be fatal in
old age. This is owing to the skull being thin,
uniform in texture and elastic in childhood, and
to the brain being Of corresponding structure.
The brain at this age is soft to degree that
would be unnatural in mature years. This re-
siliency of the skull and yielding quality OF the
brain explain how the child is unlnjured by blows
which would be attended with fatal concussions
in after life. But there is also a provision in
adults for moderating the effect OF such accidens
In proportin as the brain acquires tirmness dur

But if the good people Of Long Branch wish to
maintain Ocean avenue in its integrity, they
must defend it against the entertainments of
that very Atlantic which forms its chiefest
charm. For several winters past the waves
have been gradually but surely wearing away
that part OF the bluff Immediately in front OF the
Tn ted st 10 Hotel. Last winter the encroach-
msnt was far more serious than usual. Forty
feet Of bluff were carried away, and unless some
steps are taken and that speedily, the Atlantic
Ocean will establish a connection with the
Shrewsbury river which runs, at that point,
almost parallel with the avenue.

Comparative Merit Of LocomOt,ves.

At the recent meeting of the American Rail
way Mechanics Association, in Boston, a report
was read on the comparative cost of operating
eight and ten-wheeled locomotives. The state,
ment received from sixteen railroads give the
hgures for the eight-wheeled locomotives: Re-
pairs, All per cent. fuel, 953, and stores 81.
For ten-wheeled locomotives the figures are;
repairs, 5,7S per cent, fuel IL 29 and stores 05
The number Of tons hauled in proportion to the
weight Of the locomotives was greatly in favor
Of the eight-wheeled engines. In reference tC
the comparative performance of ten-wheeled en-
gines with six drivers coupled, and eight -wheele
engines with four drivers coupled, report wa'
read giving the preference to the eight-wheeleC
engine, It shown that particular engine Of the
latter class could be run at one-third less OK
