A New Gift Enterprise.

The boot and shoe business of this
city has been thoroughly revolutionized
in the last few years, and the many
citizens of Wilmington who in former
years were obliged to 60 to Philadel-
phia for a nice pair of shoes can now be
accommodated with as fine a quality,
as good style and at lower prices at
home than in almost any other city in
the Union, and among the good stores
of this kind in the city, that of Mr.
Joseph F!emng,in Mr.. J. P. Herdman's s
new building. No. 5 East 4th street,
one door above King, is one of the best
and most reliable in the country. Mr..
Fleming is shoe man who thoroughly
understands his business, having been
for 6 years previous to opening his store
in October last, engaged with some of
the largest and most experienced man
ufacturers and wholesale dealers in the
United States, and understanding the
wants of our citizens he has laid in one
of the best selected stock of goods ever
offered in this market, ana at prices
that defy competition. Persons buying
at this store may rest assured that all
the goods are just what they are repre-.
sented to be. He will also for the next
month present to every customer buy
ing pair of ladies' or misses fine
shoes bottle of the celebrated London
shoe polish. Below we quote some of
his prices on fine and staple goods -

Thursday-The New Court mousse
-Negiect Of the City Council Of
Wilnington-What the COLLECTORS
Owe.

An adjourned meeting of the Levy
Court was held at New Castle on Th mrs.
day, the principal object of the meeting
being to consider the question of The
building of the new Court house, though
some other business of minor Import
ance was first transacted.
In the afternoon part of the session
while examining the various plans and
propositions for the new building il W as
discovered that the city Council of Will
mington had not officially notified the
court of tho donation by that body of
the square at Tenth and Market streets.
in consequence Of this neglect nothing
could be done, not even could the At.
torney of the court ascertain If the
tile was good until the notification had
heen made. In this dilemma tho court
adopted the following resolution which
was adopted:
Resolved, That the whole matter of examlA-

Surprise.

Our friend Solomon Hersey, was
greatly surprised last evening. Not
withstanding it was the SD anniyer-
sary of his birth, aud great efforts had
been made by his good lady to com
plete the papering of the parlor and re-
laying of the carpets, as we'll as the
manifestation of an unusual anxiety to
induce him to, attend prayer meeting
a suspicion did not enter his mind that
a surprise tor him was contemplated
or that anything unusual was intended
to commemorate his attainment of his
SD milestone In life's journey, conse-
quently when a messenger entered
Union M. Il. Church about nine O'Clock
and informed him.that he was needed at
home, he was not only surprised. but
actually frightened, which is rather
an unusual feeling on the part of a
newspaper reporter. On reaching his
residence and finding his parIor and
sitting room filled with friends, he at
once comprehended the meaning Of the
unusual haste in puttingthings to rights

of life's journey, a visit was made to
the dining room where a large pound
cake, handsomely iced, graced the ia
BILE, on the top Of which was stamped
the name "Solomon Hersey," his Sind
birthday, with the compliments OF his
friends Daniel B. and Patience p. Hull,
After blessing by the Rev. J. B. Mann,
delicious cake, fruit and lemonade were
partaken of, and all pronounced good,
the younger portion of the company at
the same time enjoying themselves in
playing some innocent and amusing
games. After the appetite of all had
been satisfied, and sometime afterward
passed in conversation, the parties re-
turned to their respective homes wish

turn of many more anniversaries OF

The Adrian Dead.Fall.

Thursday afternoon of last week ter.
rible accident occurred at the Lenawee
county fair grounds, at Adrian. The
grand stand was crowded with men
women and children to witness the ladies
riding contest, when without moments
warning, the dead-fall gave way, coming
down with a crash, burying the occu-
pants beneath the ruins, carrying death
and terror with its fall. Ten persons
were killed outright, and several fatally
injured.
The excitement and confusion of the
scene defy description. There were 15,-
600 people on the grounds, whose frantic
cries OfsterrOr, together with the groans
and shrieks of the wounded and dying,
are described as agOnizing in the ex-
treme. Horses were frightened and nu-
merOus runaways ensued, the crowd
rushing hither and thither in all direc-
tiOns. Hotels and private houses were
opened to the wounded, and the Opera
House was imprOvised into an hospital.
The correspondent of the Detroit Post
and Tribune says that within 2Ominutes
Of the time when the crash came, almost
every one in the city had heard of the
accident, and great tide of humanity
poured to the fair grounds. Scores of
carriages conveyed the injured away,
and multitudes of men were supporting
the less seriously wounded. The streets
soon assumed the appearance of a city
beseiged or the route of an army after a
heavy engagement. DR.. Mclean, of Ann
Arbor, was telegraphed for, and he, to-
gether with Drs. Wyman and Cleland,
of Detroit, DR.. Rynd, and most of the
city and county physicians, were in at
tendance on the sufferers.

Important to Steamboat Owners.

The attention Of the Treasury depart
ment having recently been called to the
general disregard of the requirements
of law in relation to the painting of the
names of steam vessels upon their sterns
and the sides Of their pilot houses, Sec
rotary Sherman issues an official letter
directing that the name of each steam
vessel must hereafter be painted on the
outer sides of the pilot house in distinct,
plain letters of not less than six inches
in length. The Secretary designates no
particular method of painting, but pre-
fers that the name be painted on black
back ground, in white, gilt or yellow
letters. The Collectors and other chief
officers of the customs are directed to
see that these instructions are complied
with
