A great many persons seem 10 be suffering
from a disease similar to the horse epidemlc.--
1t generally commences with considerable run
ming Of the nose and eyes, after which 1t attacks
the whole head, causing pains both inside and
outside, along the cheeks and forehead, and
aching of the eyes, and often of the
teeth. Perfect warmth and patience, we think,
are the only remedies.

ION, Del, have LAID the keel of 900 ton schoon-

10 the prosperity Of the town which has the
honor TO be The residence Of the Governor of this
State.

Fonts improvements which would add to the
7alue Of taxable property and thus give increased
'evenue equal to the amount OF the odlous exac-
ion. We hope that the Legislature may act
avoraGly on the matter, and this incub US be
Is speedily removed as possible.
