A Washington dispatch, yesterday,
says that John T. Delano, ehief-clerk
ia the interior department, resigned
on account of i'll health. This was not
unexpected. During the past year, Mr..
Delano made brief visit to the south
and Minnesota, but it is now found ne
eessary, in order to obtain permanent
relief, to retire altogether from official
duties. He has been an efficient and
courteous officer, and his retiraey is
greatly regretted by those having busi-
ness with the interior-department. The
vacancy will be filed by the appoint
ment of William o. Morrill,, of Maine.

A STREET BRAwL-The usual quiet
of our streets was disturbed last FRI
day evening. The row was held by
Cook rs. Huftil, and arose from lit
tie family jar that occurred in the
Cook family some time since. Cook
went to Huftill's house and commence
ed proceedings by breaking a kero-
sene lamp over hot stove, at which
the latter demonstrated. From the
house the disputants repaired to the
street, con this OCCASION" where they

CENTRAL HOUSE. This Hotel, To-
Gated about the centre Of the business
portion of w isconsin Avenue, Bosco.
bel, was erected during the past sum-
mcr by Mr.. A. Bobel, and leased for
term of years to Hon. James Bar
nett, at present Mayor of Boscobel,
and an old and we'll known citizen Of
Grant county. On the 9th inst. this
house was formally opened to the pub
lie. The building is three stories
high, has thirty sleeping rooms, from
l2xl2 TO l7xl7-each large enough
for two beds, should occasion require.
The rooms in the upper stories are
well lighted, large and finely fitted up
some with marbe-top furniture,
complete bedroom sets, and Brussels
carpeting. There are two Parlors-
one lsxls, another which are
also magnifciently furnished. The
Dining Hall is 30x90, ii foot ceiling;
while the Kitchen and accommoda-
tons for help are the best in the
State. The Sample Room is very
nice, light and airy, with glass front.
The Halls are roomy and well lighted,
the Office and wash-rooms are COM
modious. Connected with the house
is fine Billiard Hall supplied with
two of Phelan & Collander's best ia
bles. The entire house exhibits
display Of skill on the part of the land
lord that is a sure indication Of fu.
ture patronage. We wish the leasee
a handsome return for the heavy out
lay he has been to, and predict that
the Central will soon be known as the
most popular House in the Western
part Of the State.
