LnsnIrude nnd Debility.


The relaxation Of nervous energy which creates
an iudisposltion to physical or mental effort, so
strong as almost to amount to positive inability, and
which we term assitude, proceeds from variety Of
causes. The principal Of these are constitutional
debility heat of the atmosphere, coupled with hu-
midity, climatic changes, and the physical prostra-
ton consequent upon long illness. But whatever
the cause, it must be perfectly clear that If the ner
vous system is unduy relaxed, something is re-
qulred to brace 1t up. That something is Hostetters
Btters which is universally recognized as the most
complete and speedy recuperant Of the physical
forces in existense. 1t has been so thoroughly and
widely demonstrated as to be a matter of positive
certainty and familiar knowledge that the Bltters
will not only rehabiiitate the physique, when shat
tered and wasted by disease but will also If taken
systematically, actually compensate the constitu
lonally feeble frame for Its deficiency Of strength
and by infusing new life into weak system, endow
It with the health and vlgor which Nature has de-
nied It, The Bitters enable the body to resist the
enervsting influences of heat humidity, and changes
from temperate to hot climate it's on these
accounts specially to be recommended to travellers
and residents in the torrid zone, and persons sub
Iec'ed to abrupt transitions In temperature.

To he Editor Of NE Commercial
From an owner or renter Of property on King
street the appropriate and reasonable answer
viii be In the Affirmative from an owner Of real
estate, or merchant doing business ON Market
street, the response should be promptly and
emphaticaily, no. rff I
No reflective person willdoubt but that the price
OF King street property muAt advance in value IL
the change is made, the reason being that per-
sons doing business on that street will be In q
better location TO do business and that renters
and purchasers will readily be found TO occupy
all the stands upon that street. The business
men already there will soon double the extont Of
their business other establishments will be
opened and the trade Of the town will slowly,
steadily and irresstiby be drawn 10 that quarter.
Now, is any Market street merchant or prop
erty owner so utterly ignorant as to suppose that
what King street gains Market street will lose 2
Can there be fiye times rs much business done
on King street and just as much on Market
street, as at present II any presume 30, We
venture to predict that two years observation
and experience Of the proposed change, will open
their eyes, and cause them to look back sorrow
fully at the unfortunate hour in which they lent
their sympathy or influence to the thoughtless
persons who are carrying around petitions ask
ing Council to remove the markets. | would
then urge upon all persons interested in the pros
perity of Market street and who have favored
the proposed change thus far, to pause, ere II be
too late. Wilmington is not yet large enough to
maintain two main streets, and the business
which will certainly go to King street, II the
markets are removed, will just as certainly be
lost to Market street.
Let car drivers, gentlemen Of retirement, per-
sons generally who have not dollars interest
in our chief street, and the shrewd business men
and real estate owners on King street, advocate
the proposed change, but let no person having
interests on Market street be fooled" into sup
porting measure that will surely be Of serious
and certain damage to him.

Coal On ExPLosroNs.-on Mondaynight Ia Il,
Mrs. Mary j. Newell at 7Ol Sixth street, narrowly
escaped serious consequence by the explosion Of
a coal oil lamp. Mrs. n had retired to bed and
left the lamp burning, on table. In few min
utes after the lamp exploded, setting fire to the
bed and the carpet ON the floor. MIR. Newell
hearing the noise of the explosion, hastened to
the room, just in time to save his wife from be-
ing badly burned, and finally he succeeded in
eXtinguishing the fire.
Another accident Of this kind occurred, last
night in store, on Washington street, between
Second and Third. A woman called at the store
to get lamp filled. She was filling the lamp
from an open cup, when the oil ignited from
another lamp, causing an explosion. The burn
ing oil was thrown on the woman, who immedi-
ately ran into the street, with her clothes on
fire Two gentlemen, belonging on the Delaware
Railroad, were returning home, when they heard
the alarm. They Immediately went to the assis-
tance OF the woman whose clothes were on fire.
After rendering her the necessary assistance of
extingushing the fire from her Clothes they ran
in the store and there succeeded in stopping what
might have been disastrous fire.
