CHANGE OF QUARTERs.-Since the re
moval of the passenger depot of the
Wilmington & Northern raj lIoad to the
p, w. 81 b. X. X. depot, the company
has vacated entirely the large brick build
ings at the S.W. corner of Front & Madi-
son streets, which were formerly occu,
pied as passenger and freight stations.
The general freight and telegraph office
Is now at the foot of Madison street, op-
posite the gas house, in a cbmmodious
frame buil.ling, provided with all the ne
cessary conveniences for the transaction
of business. By this change the compa,
ny saves about $1,000 per year, which
was the annual rental value Of the build
ings formerly occupied.
NEARLY A CJLLlsIoN.- Y esterday
morning as the southbouud passenger
train which leaves this city at $3.50
O'Clock was approaching Elkton, on a
down grade coupling broke and the
train parted. The engineer was obliS
ed to keep on running mile or two
below the town where there is an up
grade before he could lstop without
causing a collision between the two
sections. The break was repaired and
the train backed up to the station after
which it proceeded down the road
NJ Getting with no further mishap.
PEACHES SCARCE Peaches were ex>
ceedngly scarce, yesterday afternoon, and
but few were i'll market, and these few
were of a very indiff rent chal acter. TIL,
morning the fruit wus also scJuGe. As usual,
the best fruit is being shipped to Philade-
phia and New YJIk, while the Wilmington
market, which is productive of as good, if
not better, prices than the others named, is
entirely overlooked! 1t would pay some
grower to ship his crop almost exclusively
to this city during the whole season.

TIC City and Cape May will leave French
street wharf Gf it should rain, on Thurs

hours at Atlantic City and hours at
Cape May. The limited number of tick
cts on the boat is being secured rapidly
by parties intending to go. Secure your
tickets at once, Thursday morning may

A HEAVY RAIN.-The storm last even
ing, though not accompanied by much
thunder and lightning, included heavy
shower of rain, which continued until
late in the night. The ra n was badly
needed, and doubtless was productive of
much good to the farmers, besides bene>
fitting the general community by cooling
the heated atmosphere. ....
Coal SCARCE.-Owing to the railroad
stakes, and the cessation Or coal ship
ments on several of the railroads, many
of the Wilmington coal dealers are run
ming short of coal. If embargo is not
soon raised manufacturers and the citi-
zens generally will suffer serious incon-
venience from scarcity Of coal.
