ENTERTAINMENT.
-. NEW CASTLE, Feb. %.
Yesterday morning our city presented
a Sunday like appearance. Stores, coun-
ty offices and other places of business
were closed and every body seemed in
good humor and intent on making the
most Of the day. At IL M, all the bells
wererung, ,andtheG GoodWillHose carriage
ran out for an airing.
Early in the afternoon great number
took down their guns and started up the
river to the shooting match. To give an
account of which we, to be plain, don't
know how, but would remark that the
gre alter number of participants
had better trade off their guns for an
old hammer, tooth pick, or any other
thing they can get.
In the early part of the evening the
Court House was thrown open and the
supper in aid of the Baptist Church was
the main attraction. The Grand Jury
Room was made use of as supper room
while theCourt room was the scene of an
impromtu musical entertainment. The
applause was sufficient evidence that
those present were pleased.
Miss Miltbank, of Wilmington, rem
dered several selections in fine voice and
style. Messrs, Wolfkll, Appleby and
Broomall gave several fine ballads. Mr..
j. Herdman marble cutlery being pres
ent, was called for and gave one of his
unrivalled "ten minutes of laughter"
cousing every one to go home well
pleased with himself and his neighbors
The City Hall presented fine sight,
flags, banners, streaners and bunting
being lavishly and tastefully arranged on
the walls a hung from the ceiling. pre-
senting the finest effect of any endeavor
for the past three years. At $50 the
grand march was begun, 40 couples going
through its intricacies. As the evening
wore ON we noticed 80 couples upon the
floor at one time. We also noticed the
entire Moss Rose Assembly amongst the
merry throng. A few Wilmingtonians
were on hand and speak in high terms of
the music furnished by Prof. Frank Dun

AN OPEN LETTER. 1t Speaks
for Itself

RocKpoRr, MASS, April I'd, 1877.
MIR. EDIToR:-Having read in your
paper reports of the remarkable cures of
catarrh, | am induced to tell "what |
know about catarrh," and l fancy the
"snuff" and "inhahng-tube" makers,
(mere dollar grabbers) would be glad If
they could emblazon asimilar cure in the
papers. For 26 years / suffered with ca
tarrh. The usual passages became COM
pletely closed. The "dIlst, ''ashes," Gin
haling tubes" and 'sticks," wouldn't
work, though at Intervals l would sniff
up the so-called catarrh snuff until / be-
came valuable tester for such medicines.
/ gradually grew worse, and no one can
tell how much suffered or what mise
rable being was. My head ached over
my eyes SO that L was confined to my
bed for many successive days, suffering
the most intense pain, which Mt one time
lasted continuously for 168 hours. All
sense of smell and taste gone, sight and
hearing impaired, body shrunken and
weakened, nervous system shattered and
constitution broken, and L was hawking
and splitting seven-eIghths of the time. l
prayed for death to relieve me of my suf-
fering. A favorable notice in your paper
of DR.. Sages Catarrh Remedy induced
me to purchase a package, and use it with
DIR. Pierce's Nasal Douche, which applies
the remedy by hydrostatic pressure, the
only way compatible with common sense.
Well, Mr.. Editor, it did not cure me in
thfee-fourths of a second, nor in one hour
or month, but in less than eight minutes
i was relieved, and in three months en-
tirely cured, and have remained so for
over sixteen months. While using the
Catarrh Remedy, L used DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery to purify my
blood and strengthen my stomach; also
| kept nv liver active and bowels regular
by the use of his Pleasant Purgative Pei
| lets. If my experience will induce other
sufferers to seek the same means of relief
this letter will have answered its purpose
d&w Yours truly, S. d. REMIcK.

THE SILVER BILL To BE VETOED BY THE
PREsIDENT-EFFECT OF THE MEAS
URE AS PAssHD BY CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, Feb2 1878.
From the N. Y. Herald.
The Silver Bill Certainly be vetoed
all reports and rumors to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The bill cannot reach
the President before Sunday afternoon
There Is reason to believe that he will
not detain 1t for the full term of ten days
which the law allows him. bat that he
will return it with a veto message dur
ing the coming week.
Meantime the bill has been closely
scanned to day to ascertain its exact eff
feet If it should become law. 1t is gem
orally ackno wledged by those silver men
who are capable of comprehending its
financial bearings that
Ftrst-lt permits the national banks
and cltizens generally to make contracts
in gold or paper money to the exclusion
of silver, and, as General Butler pointed
out to the Silver Union caucus, united
action on the part of the banks might
easily prevail to silver almost entirely
out of circulation.
Second-Itls Is seen that as the Treasury
Is 10 buy bullion and coiu it into dollars
the Secretary need not pay out silver, the
revenue being sufficient to meet the e Z
penditures. Indeed, he could only issue
silver by retaining in the Treasury an
tqu.l amount of greenbacks, and the
belief here in we'll informed quarters is
that he means 10 put Out silver as rapid
ly and in as great amounts as it can be
coined. He has now about ninety mil
lion OF gold. 1t he can, with the help of
silver dollars, get in forty or fifty million
of /. .reenbacKs he will be in very fair
condition, it is thought by some- people
for re umption when the day comes, with
the coinage of silver dollars going on all
the time to help him.
Th,rd-It is further seen that the coin
certificates are Of no importance aud
cannot De used for infalion purposes
the clause about their Reissue being p .r-
missiye only.

sIGNATURE--DEsIGN OF THE NEW Doll
LAR. r ..
Special to the Baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-The silver
men continue in a hopeful frame of mind
as to the Presidents action ON the silver
bill They say that, although it makes no
practical difference whether he signs or
vetoes the bill, still they prefer, for the
prestige of the thing, that his signature
should be attached. The belief Of the sill
yer men that the President will not veto
their bill is strengthened to-day by the
assertion in well-informed circles that
Secretary Sherman, after thorough ex-
animation of the bill, arrived at the con-
clusion to advise the President to sign it
on the ground Of policy and expediency.
The director of the mint states that in
two weeks time the capacity Of the mints
at Philadelphia, San Francisco and Car
son City will be equal to So 800 900 of sill
yer coinage monthly. Two designs have
already been made for the new silver
dollrr. One of these will probably be
adopted with few alterations. On the
reverse side of it is a head of Liberty en-
profile, with luxuriant head of hair, ,and
crowned with cap and coronet, surround
ed with stalks of wheat. Above the head
is "E Pluribus Unum; )" below, the date,
'1S7S." The reverse side has an eagle
with uplifted wings, two stars, the words
"U. s. of America" semi-circularly ar
ranged below this inscription is "In
God We Trust" Below the eagle the
coin is stamped Gone Dollar"

ent at Vienna te.egraphs: The
situation is still regarded here IS
serious. 1t has transpired that
Russia is concentrating troops in
the interior of Poumania, and thu
one hundred and twenty thousand
men will he massed towards tie
west and north, evidently for de-
Tense against Austria.
London, Feb. GA special from
Berlin says: Roumania insists on
having the Dobrudscha without
ceding Bessarabia to Russia.
Dispatches dated Feb. sth, state
that the Russians have entered
Constantinople, notwithstanding the
armistice. The report, however,
needs confirmation.
The Greeks finding that the ar
mistice between Turkey and Rus
STA left them at the mercy Of the
former power. and in danger Of
having their capital homharded, be-
came alarmed and have entered
into an armistice.
Russia is reported to Object to a
conference Of the Powers, having
the treaty of Paris as a basis, con-
sequently the prospect of peace is
still uncertain, and general Eu-
ropean war not improbable. Italy
and France are said to favor the
treaty of Paris as basis for II set
Element of the Eastern question.
The Ronmanians appear to be
determined not to allow the Rus
SLAMS to steal a portion of their
territory without protesting against
the act. A dispatch from Bucha-
rest, Feb. 9TH says;
Both Houses passed joint reso-
luton declaring that they are deter
mined To maintain the integrity
of Roumania, and will not agree to
exchange n portion of the country
for territories or other compensa-
ton. The Senate appointed II com
mittee to draw up protest to the
guaranteeing powers against the
of Bessarabia.
The war excitement in England
is increasing, and the war grant is
sure to he voted.
