We notice the Improvements being made
on Vine street in this city by Mcssrs. Trust
and Fitch, who are putting down fine
curb in front Of their properties, If the
rest of the street was curbed and paved 1t
would be money well spent. Our city ia.
theirs should require it to he done, as this Is
the main entrance to the city from the di-
rection of Wilmington.
The schooner Trade Wind sailed for
Thomaston, Me-, with grain from Stockley
& Brother. Steamship Illinois, from Liver
pool, went up yesterday.
Mr.. Keegan, OF the Rising Sun Hotel, has
newly papered and painted his place and
otherwise made great Improvements in it.

There were SO many grain wagons, &C.,
In the city to-day noon that Delaware street
opposite the Court House was completely
blocked for some time. This looks as
though our grain merchants were busy.
