position of agent for Mr.. j. Snndheim,
proprietor of the clothing store opposite
the Howard House, and will be pleased to

Tuesday afternoon about , o'clock the
dwelling house on the farm belonging to
the estate of the late Mr.. Downey, Situ-

took fire and was entirely destroyed. From
the burning house the flames communicated
to the barn and other out buildings, which,

were consumed. Loss about $4,000.

Quite large congregation assembled
to hear Bishop Lay, at Trinity Church, on
Thursday evening" the announcement hav-
ing been made that he would preach on
that occasion. The Bishop, however had
taken the wrong train at Wilmington, get
ting upon the one that passes here without
stopping, at six O'Clock, instead of that
half an hour later. He was, in conse-
quence, carried through to the river. He
returned at $50, however, and as quite a
number were still in waiting, preached at
that hour. Those who did not get to hear
him on Thursday evening, had another
opportunity on Friday morning, when he
preached again.

strongly deprecate the seeming disposition
among few to haraSs and embarrass the

doubt, who look upon a corporations sub

IMPROVEMENT AROUND T0wN.-On &C
count of the hard times our citizens are
content this Spring, in the matter of i'm
provements, to confi1e themselves to that
which is absolutely necessary, consequently
our mechanics, instead of being at work
upun new buildings. are principally EN-
gagged in repairing the old. This, with
here and there a new fencing or occasional
outbuilding in progress of erection, make
up the sum of the improvement now gong
on in town.
On High street, Mr.. c. W. Maxwell has
erected very tasty new fence around his
premises On the same street Deputy
Sheriff Janney has enclosed his grounds
with a new fence. Mr.. Simon of the Ex-
change Hotel, has added new carriage
house to his already extensive stable ac
Communications. Mr.. John r. Hogg, on
Bow street, is erecting new fence around
his flower garden and front yard. Mr.. W
II. Elder is painting his residence on Main
street. The owners of the block of store
houses from Mrs. SCOTS millinery to ".
{. Crows tailor store. on Main street, are
painting the front. Perry Litzenberg, con
tractor. Several of oar citizens have ex
pressed their Intention of erecting dwell
ings during the year, provided suitable
grounds at fair price can be secured this
seems to be great draw back. but none
have yet taken shape sufficiently definite to
warrant notice here.

MRS. f. b. STEVENS.

As per notice in TIE Wig of last week,
Mrs. Z. b. Stevens of Wilmington, Del,
addressed the congregation OF the N. f.
Church. Sabbath morning in favor of the
Noman's Foreign Missionary Society, after
which number joined the society, organ
iZed here more than two years ago. In
the evening the union temperance meeting
was held in the same church. Addresses
were delivered by Rev. L. j. Aiken, and
Stevens. The audience was very large,
aud all seemed pleased with the speeches
and the singing of the choir.
REPAIRING.
While the Trustees of the NJ f. Church
are paving, and repairing, and painting
fences, | suggest, they purchase two lamps
of the same pattern as the one near the
burnt hotel. The lamps now in use do
not compare favorably with the other sur
roundlngs.
OUR RIVER
looks pretty at night, the fishermen having
a light at each end of their seines, drifting
slowly down the river and large number
engaged in the business pretty well fills the
river up for two miles. But fishermen are
catching few shad, and are selling them
from so to - cents per pair. If the
weather would get warm, the quantity,
caught would increase, and the price cor
respondngly depreciate.
THE ENTERTAINMENTS
given by the public schools, under the
supervision of Mr.. Hanna, will net some
thing over seventy dollars. A few more
such will lquldate the debt caused by the
purchase of their splendid organ.
THE NJ f. AID SOCIETY
has appointed a committee to take into
consideration the propriety of holding a
festival i'll early strawberry time.
RATS.
A number of lumber, spar and board
RATS came in this week. The supply will
be small, but equal to the demand, unless
business should greatly revive.
j. b. HUTCHINSON, ESQ,
Chief Engineer of the Columbia and Port

joyous by his generous hand: but he is
gone. Peace to his ashes.
SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. G. w. Wood was found lying in the
middle of the floor of her house, dead, by
her husband, on his return from his work
about $50 p. NJ. Wednesday. 1t is sup
posed she died from heart disease. MIR. J.

rendered verdict accordingly. Mrs.
Woods was an active and industrious
woman Mr.. Woods has the sympathy of
the whole community in this his sudden
aIliction.
