MANUFACTURING" Among the frequent
notices, recently, of manufacturing interests in
our vicinity, one branch of considerable import
ance has passed unnoticed. We refer to the
manufacture of moccasins The manufactur-
ing of the larger proportion of these goods for
the last ten or fifteen years has been confined
to the eastern part of the State. In 1856, i'm
mediately after our city was laid waste by fire,
Messrs. Lord & Haskell of Portland, and VIM.
H. Neal & Co. of Saccarappa, con menced the
manufacture of these goods designed principal
ly for the Western trade, but on account of
both parties having separate business to attend
to- have carried it on quite limited, but are in
tending the present season to double the
amount of former years, having already re-
ceived encouragement from a number of relia-
BILE firms in the West one party sending their
order the first week in March, for sir thousand
pairs of boots and proportionate quantity of
Shoes delivery to commence Immediately The
parties named are equally interested IN the
business, and the work divided as follows:
Lord, Haskell & Co. attend to the selling of
the goods Ito whom address should be made)
and VIM. II. Neal to the purchasing of stock,
and experimenting the work at the factory,
and delivery of the goods in Portland. Having
experience and facilities for operating this
branch of manufacturing, these parties will
probably offer as great inducements to pur-
chasers East or West, as any other establish
ment in New England

Tho Demnnd for a New {, inv Min.


The solution Of the problem, what do with oni
City Mill, has been exercising the minds of tn,
Water Committee of Council for some time 1t
has viewed, inspected, reviewed and rein
spected the present building time and again,
but has never yet been able to reach any con
cusion, not from any lack of conviction of the
absolute needs of a new mill, but because OF
the low state Of the city finances.
With desire to absolve itself from all llcharges
of hasty action or extra official assumption.
Council met at the City Hall, last evening,at the
instance Of the Water Committee, to view the
precise condition of dilapidation into which tht
old building had fallen. We have no means OF
ascertaining the views of the several member
of Council touching this question, after perso-
nal inspection by them, but it occurs to us that
they could hardly fail to arrive at the same con-
clusion, long since attained by the Water Com
mittee, viz That the erection Of new mill il
an absolute necessity.
The present building was erected when Will
mington was in its infancy. 1t has served the
people long and well for the purposes for whicl.
it is designed. But Time has laid his hand heav-
lily upon it and left his impress in crumbliul
stone, in springing floors and decaying TIMBER,
until tho building trembles in every nerve a,
the straining engines lift the water from tn,
Brandywine to the reservoirs. Soon, a new
pump of greater capacity will be placed in the
mill to increase the strain upon the building anu
hasten the time when a much needed improve
ment cannot in safety be delayed.
The subject will come up before Council for
final disposition on Thursday evening next, when
it is hoped. nay more, expected by the public that
the contract for the erection Of a new mill viii
be awarded. In view Of the fact that, sooner OF
Ilter the work must be DONE wisdom suggests
tn i the present is the golden opportunity o
b lid the mil, when no impediment Of new, cor tly
All complicated machinery adds to the hh d
rance anddelay Of the workmen from the nece s
ity Of exercising greater care.

Gentle Woman on the Cars.

Two women, uncertain as to years, seedy and
unsatisfactory as to physical appearance, and
very much fixed up with young shoot OF
the same stock. and plenty Of all sorts OF loose
property had turned over the back OF the seat
next them, and had comfortably bestowed them
selves and the belongings Of three in the space
intended for four persons. 1n the middle OF the
car stood a disconsolate but gentlemanly man,
who could not find seat. All the others in the
car we're filled, and suppose all the others in
the other cars. He went and stood by these two
women, mutely appealing to their courtesy;
They remained stoutly unobservant he stood
a long time, and then YEARLY asked II that seat
indicating the vacant one upon which trave-
ling bag was bestowed-was engaged. OF fcourse
the answer didn't reach me, but l saw by the
expression OF the face OF the woman he bad ad-
dressed that il wasn't engaged, except to hold
her travelling bag.
The gentleman stood waiting a little while
longer, until desperation gave him courage to
pick upt the bag, brush aside the suppressed skirts
md drop, with deprecating expression, into
the seat which was rightfully his But II you'd
seen the expression OF their faces you would not
nave supposed it was. On the contrary, with
nothing else to guide you, you would have sup
posed that this tired, well-dressed, comey aud
,uurteous man was an INSCRIPTIONS rufiian who

At him she did it as if he had been some loath-
some and offensive object instead of being a
much more agreeable thing to look at than she
could be at the best. In word, she did every
thing during the hours ride to show that she
considered herself mOrtally insulted by the sim
pie act on his part Of taking in conciliating
manner what was rightfully his, after she had
efused to give it up. If the common feminine
mind is as narrow as this indicates, reform ought
TO begin little nearer at home.

In this Battle of Life, sadly selfish as all the

other capital than his brain and body--can justly
perceive the full force of his side of the ques-

last evening, gave great pleasureto many of hel
hearers, doubtless thinks that she completely
understands the whole subject, and looks, with
equal justice to all interested, at its bearings
LII reality, however, much of her criticism
strikes US as being crude, and without due
breadth and depth. I'VE have little doubt
tl,at there are mechanics and working men in
Wilmington who could show the weakness OF

Duel With DnREers Between Germans in

Two German gentleman, said to be well known
IN the city Of London, recently quarreled about

and duel was arranged to take place in Fins

compelled to proceed some distance farther. TO

were protected by the guard Of the knives. Hos
