WINTER sPoRTs-CoASTING ON FOURTH
STREET, AND sLEIGHING ON FRENCH.
Last night every available hillside in
the city was fairly alive with men and
boys and girls, who were all intent on en-
joying to the fullest extent, the excellent
coastlng which these hills afforded. Until
a late hour in the night the sport contin-
ued, and the air rcsounded with the rum
bling of the slcds and the shouts of the
merry coasters.
The most popular place for the sport
seemed to be on West Fourth street, from
Washington nearly to Monroe. The
broad surface of the street was glazed
with covering of sleet and snow almost
as hard as iron and as smooth as glass,
over which the sleds glided with the ra-
pidity of an express train. An attempt
was made to stop the coasters here, by
throwing ashes in the street, but the boys
scraped them of with their sleds, swept
the track with broom, and renewed the
sport with increased vigor.
The slcighing was also quite good on
the streets which had not been much trav
elled on, and large number of sleighs
were brought out during the day. French
street was the principal thoroughfare for
this sport, and as the merry teams flashed
up and down, the mettle of more than a
few fast steppers was tried in friendly
contests. The sleighing, like the coast
ing, proved very enjoyable, and was also
Kept up until late in the light.

Theft OF Butter.

Last evening James l.. Gilmore, Of
of Louisville, Chester county, Pa, who
attends the Wilmington market, placed a
tub containingninepounds of butter in the
cellar of N. Jenney's house, on King street
above Second for safe keeping until morn
ing. Later in the evening man went
and took the butter away, and Mr.. Jenney
supposing il to be Mr.. Gilmore, made no
objection.
Later in the evening servant girl in
the employ ofMr. Joseph Sharge, No. 30s
w. Sixth street, was going down the al
ley to lock the gate, she stumbled over
the tub of butter. At the same time she
heard man eXclaim. ''Come on, Ike,
we've found the butter" The man,
however ran back when he saw the girl,
and Mr.. Sharp ran out the front door to
catch him, but was too late. The butter
was then taken to the police station,
where Mr.. Gilmore recovered it this morn
ing.

GOVERNOR HAMPTON PLANS.
The letters place the dual Governors on
record as to the respective positions they
occupy. Regards of Chamberlain's refu-
sal to deliver up the great seal. records,
&c, Hamptonis slowly proceeding to es-
tablish his government. He is determin-
ed that it shall not end in a fiz zle, as NJ c.
Enerys did in Louisiana. The methods
he adopts are those of peace, appealing
in all cases to the courts for their protec-
ton in the exercise of the legal and con-
stitutional rights. He has ample assur-
ance from the property holders in the
State and from the banks that all the
funds he requires to carry on the govern
ment will be forthcoming to be hereafter
paid when the legal Legislature passes a
tax bill. A significant fact as to the
stability of Hampton's government is
found in the receipt of letters here from
Northern bondholders of the State, who
are anxious that Hampton should be re-
cognized, as they would then be sure OF
the interest on their bonds, while they
are satisfied of the inability of Chamber
lains government to collect! taxes, and
consequently their bonds would become
worthless.
