On September 9th, 1875, The In
dustrial Exhibition Company holds
its Fifth Premium Allotment, and
distributes One Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Dollars, in principal and
interest, among the one thousand
Bonds, that were elected to be re-
deemed in the series allotment OF July
9th, this year
Many of these bonds had been sold
for Twenty Dollars prior to the draw
ing. There remains in the hands of
the Company limited number of
Bonds, which will be sold in fractions
of Five Dollars each-each one of
these fractions represents one fortieth
of whole bond, and the holder
would receive one fortieth of any pre-
MUM. The highest premium would
be for fraction, $500, and many of
less amounts. Provided the holder
of fraction fails to draw a premium
in excess of Five Dollars, the amount
invested, he can use his fraction in
the purchase of Twenty Dollar
Bond, the Company agreeing to re-
ceive all fractions at par, S., as a
quarter payment in the purchase of a
Bond. This gives each person the
chance to draw a premium, and if un-
successful. no loss is made.
In case the fractions are all sold,
the money will be returned at the ex-
pense OF the Company.
Remittances for fractions should be
! made=only to The Industrial Exhi-
bition Co., No. II East 18th Street,

We stated few days ago that Collector Nolen
had appointed John Williams fcg-sgnal engi.
neer at Cape Henlopen beach. On Friday last,
the new appointee took passage on the Govern
ment steamer Violet for his field of duty but on
account Of ice, the steamer did not proceed, and
MIR. Williams did not reach Lewes by that route.
His commission, however, which had arrived
from Washington, was sent by mail to Lewes,
when another John Williams residing there,
got it, and feeling both gratihed and
surprised at this unexpected recognition
by the Government, took possession Of the
office. Collector Nolen says there will be very
sudden change down there as soon as the right
John Williams arrives upon the scene, but why
isn't one John Williams as good as another?
