HAPPY NEW YEAR.-Auother round

just been completed, and q new ono bo.
gun. As we approach our destiny, the
rounds appear to form more rapidly than
did those over which our feet have ALREADY y
passed. We may look down and count
the number wo have climbed, but how
high We have yet to ascend this ladder
of time, how many rounds our feet have
yet to press, before we reach the summit
ofths mount that will give US an uninter.
rupted view Of the vast fields of Eternity,
no man can tell. We may only build
and climb, and if we would do our duty,
leave q structure by which others may be
assisted in the ascent. Wishing our
patrons a happy new year, we renew our
labors in the field Of journalism, hoping
that We may accomplish some good, and,
MS it is human to err, asking their for
bearance for any defects that may appear
in the "round" VIC have now begun.

OUR DRINKING FOUNTAINS.

The Managers of tho Wilmington Fountain

to Mayor Sinms and his excellent police force :,
for the kind interest and judicious care they
have taken of the public drinking fountains.
These fountains have been been erected from
fund derived by voluntary contributions from
our citizens, at an expense of several thousand
dollars, and are intended to be used for drink
ing purposes by the people and the dumb ami
mails they employ. 1t is very gratifying to the
society to observe how largely they are used for
that purpose.
But somc thoughtless persons have occa-
sionally washed their hands and even vegetables
in the basins thus greatly impairng their use

1t is to the interest," and it should be the care
of every individual, old and young, to see that
they are used as intended and not abused.
