IMMENSE CROWD ON SATURDAY EVEN
ING-oTHER EXHIBITORS.
The Institute Hall was again crowded on
Saturday evening, more SO than any even
ing since the opening. From O'Clock un-
til after there was a continued stream of
people going in and out, and when the hall
was reached it was next to an impossibili-
ty to gain admittance, and even after get
ting in progress around the aisles was very
slow. Hundreds ook advantage OF the
gallery being open and stationed them
selves there and looked down upon The
scene below. The attendance of school
children during the afternoon was not so
great as on Thursday and Friday. 1t is
gratifying TO know that the Bazaar belong
ing to the Children's Home and restaurant
under charge of the Provident Society are
doing a good business, and 1t Is thought at
the close of the exhibition they will have a
handsome profit left. Among the exhibits
that by some means has been overlooked
is that of Mrs. Van Zandt in aisle No. l.,
north and south, and consists of fine dis
play of art and oil paintings. The lady
has never taken lesson in painting, and
those that she exhibits under the circum-
stances are wonderful.
The musical programme was varied and
consisted of excellent music bv the City
Cornet Band, playing upon the pianos and
several songs by Mr.. Robert Hayes. The
exhibition will remain open until Wednes-
day evening, when 1t will positively close

A STATEMENT.

j. X. SutterIee has givep to the Gazette
the following statement of the recent diff
ticulty in the photograph gallery. No.
204 Market street, which he claims is
true and correct:
j. X. Sutterlee aud T. S. Hennigan re-
Gently leased the photograph gallery EN-
ployed James X. McLeis as operator,
and were doing fair business. On Sat
urday last, Evans Pennington, the agent
from whom they leased they gallery,
came in after the rent which was due,
amounting to $50. The firm not having
the money, he demaned immediate pos
session of the apartments. Sutterlee ask
ed for two hours in which to raise the
money, which was granted, but when he
returned at the expiration of the time he
found the gallery locked.
He afterwards ascertaine1 that Hani>
gan had sold the stock and fixtures of the
gallery, worth about $500, to Pening-
ton, for the unpaid rent, and cancelled
the least; and that Pennington, in turn,
gave Mel lis r bill of sale for the stock
and fixtures for S45, and also leased the
apartments TO him. Sutterlee returned
to the gallery, but was ordered out by
McLeis, who said he was the proprietor.
Sutterlee insisted upon his right to re-
main, and from this conflict Of authority
arose the suits against him for tresspass
and assault and battery. in which he
waived a hearing and was held in bail for
appearance at Court He has retained
Geo. II. Bates, Esq, as counsel, and at
his trial the right of one partner in a
business to dispose of the entire interest
OF the other partner, without his authori
ty CT consent, will be thoroughly tested.

PROCEEDINGS OF COURT.
NEW CASTLE, Dec. 10.

NEW CASTLE, Dec. lO.
Court met at 10 o'clock. Judges
Comegys, Houston and Wooten on the
bench.
The Judge charged the Jury in the
case of Geo. W. Ortlip, for selling liquor
on Sunday. He thought it mattered not
whether a person had slipped in and
give the LIQUOR over the bar without the
knowledge of the proprietor, the keeper
of the hotel is responsible; and that If he
wished to prevent a violation Of the
statute he should close his bar, and pre-
vent the possibility of liquor being OBJ
tanned by any person.
If the Jury believed the testimony of
Geo. Hance, then they should return a
verdict of guilty; but if they believed the
testimony of the witnesses for the dee
fence, which went to show that the per-
son Hance was unworthy of beliet-that
his reputation for truth-telliDg is bad
not what few persons say, but what is
his general character in the neighbor-
hood-has been fairly established in
your minds then you will have to take
that in consideration.
The jury retired.
State VS.. Frank Barrett, for assault
with intent to kill policeman Michael
Cannon.
The facts are The colored people OF
South Wilmington, on the 10Th OF Novem-
Der, had a fair in the church, and in order
to protect themselves the trustees asked
the Mayor to send policeman to the
church. The Mayor accordingly sent MT.
Cannon to the church. Upon arriving
there Mr.. Cannon saw Barrett standing
looking at him and heard him say "One
man is not enough here. 1 am going to be
boss Tonight" A short time afterward he
was called upon by the trustees to come in
side and arrest parties who were in there
fighting. On going in he saw the prisoner
engaged in quarrel with another man
named Fisher. Upon getting him out In the
street parties interfered and he became sep
arated from him, and in endeavortng to
re-arrest him, he drew a pistol and fired
two shots, one passing through the front OF
his coat, above the waist. Mr.. Cannon re-
turned the fire and Barrett fell In the door
OF the church.
NIT. Crouch thought he had struck Barrett;
but he, however regaiued his feet aud es-
capped.
After hearing the evidence the jury return
ed with verdict OF guilty.
State VS.. Alexander Winchester. for steal
ing nails from the property of Elizabeth Is.
Hicks, in CHRIS tiana Hundred. near Schuetz.
en- Park, occupied by Ellis P. Hicks
Owing to a flaw in the indictments, it be-
when it should have been boards-the ury
rendered verdict of acquital.
The jury in the case of State VS.. Allen for
larceny of poultry. is being empannelled.

More screams. A succession of

The Shiny substance slipped from

In their fright they started for the
house. Through the woods they
went, while they kept up their success

rushing out, of course, TO ascertain

Gentlemen-I avail yself OF this oppor-

tar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, which Ihave
made use Of in my family for several years,
and always with the most beneficial results.
MY wife being of delicate habits has al
ways been troubled with hard, dry, hack
ing cough, whenever taking little cold,
and has employed various specifics with
out obtaining any relief, until prevailed
upon to test the virtues of Wistar's Balsam,
the effect of which has been truly astonish-
ing.
More than year since young man be-
longing in this place was taken with bleed
ing at the lungs. in connection with a most
severe cough, and was finally given over to
die by our best physicians and 1t was evil
dent to all that consumption was claiming
him as a victim. Learning these facts my
wife sent him bottle of the Balsam which
he took, and in due time, TO the great as
tonishment of his friends, was al his ac-
customed occupation, snatched as 1t were,
from the very jaws Of death. In many
other cases we have administered the
Balsam to the consumptive, and always
with the best of success. These statements
are simple facts, which can be vouched for
at any time by calling on me at my store.
