COUNTY COURT HOUSE QUESTION.
Wilmington is we'll represented this
evening. Directly after supper the
New Castle County representatives and
Senators went in conference with
number Of citizens Of Wilmington and
New Castle, among whom were Charles
b. Lore, Esq, William G. Whiteley,
ESQ.,, James Bradford, George Bates,
Esq, and quite q number Of others.
From New Castle were George Gray,
Esq, Alexander Cooper, Esq, John
Rodney, Esq, and others. The meet
ing although large one was an In
formal affair. The principal tspic up
for discussion was that pertaining to
Court House removal.
COURT or QUARTER SESSION.
This afternoon in the Senate. the
lawyers Of Wilmington and New Castle
formed quite large and dignifed body
OF auditors. The Senators didn't finch,
but on the contrary made brilliant
effort and rushed through most bsns-
fetal measure in the passage OF bill
authorizing the formation of two addi-
tional courts Of general sessions for
New Castle county. These are to bs
held in the months of September and
February. This is something, which,
because of the increase of criminal busi-
ness that has been going on in Will
mington with each succeeding year, has
become necessity. If the presence of
50 much intellectually would have the
same effect in the future as it has had
in the present instance it would pay
for the people Of the State, to trans
plant the legal element of Wilmington
and New Castle in the halls of their
capitol.
Robbery IN WHITE CLAY GREEK HtND RID.
Mr.. Dean this merning created an
other sensation by Wholesale d enun
citation against the powers who engineer
and care for the roads of White Clay
Creek Hundred. What raised his
wrath was the appearance of remem
brauce against his bill to sell the roads
of that much atfl cted district. The
men whose names were appended to
the papers were nothing less than
coterie of corner loaters, who spend all
their earnings and everybody else's in
bacchanalian revelry at low grog Shops
he thought. He went into them with
the same vim that characterized his
crusade against the bob-tailed CANNES
of FELTON,, and the long -eared, meek and
lowly mule of the "soul-crushing mo.
nopoly" Of Wilmington.
They--not the festive canine or the
sweet tempered, gentle quadruped-
but the men, those unexplainable crea-
lures, who, according to Mr.. Dean, must
run wild, amidst the dissimiltudes of
White Clay Creek, imbued with the
concentrated effect OF generations of
hereditary moral depravity, peculiari-
ly common among Democratic officials
in such positions, ofholding on to the
eagle spread dollar with grip that
sheds the noble bird even unto its pin
feathers. And hence Mr.. Deans de-
nunciation. A. F.F.

Nerve Inquistade and its Remedy.

Restless nerves, at least those that are con-
stantly 80, are weak ones as we'll. The true
strengthen them. 1t may be- nay, it very Of
ten is necessary to have recourse to ssdative
or even an opiate, in dangerous cases Of ner-
vous inquietude, but the continued use Of such
unnatural pallatives, is greatly to bs depre-
Gated. Though not. in a restricted sense spe-
cific for nervousness, Hostetter's stomach Bit
ters ia eminently calculated to allay nd even
experience Of many goes to substantiate. This
inestimable tonic, by promoting digestion, as
similation and secretion, touches the three
key notes upon which the harmony OF all the
bodily organs depends, and the result is that
fresh stores Of vitality are diffused through
the system. OF which the nerves receive their
due apportionment, and grow tranquil as they
gather strength.

lmvroyed Car Coupling.

David W. Shockley,of this city, has
invented an improved car coupling, on
which he has obtained letters patent.
The improvement is automatical in its
working, and its object is 70 hold the
link in self.coupler, so az to couple
cars with a straight link when there
is not more than difference of seven
inches in the height of cars, and AZ
much as ten inches with acrooked link.
Experts pronounce it very excellent

rhs Ladies Aid.

The fact was clearly proven on last,
evening that the hall Of The N. $. X. A.
is no longer large enough to accommo-
data all who are desirous of attending
the public meetings of the Ladies Aid
Society. Fully 800 persons were turn.
ed away last evening being unable to
even get within the hall. The aisles
were crowded, every foot Of standing
room was taken, and even the rostrum
had to be used for seating the audience.
G. Stlnson presided over the meeting.
After the usual devotional exercises,
reading the scripture and prayer, Mr..
c. Shank assisted by several young
ladies and gentlemen delighted the
audience with their sweet singing, and
during the evening after each piece
they sang an appropriate piece of mu-
sic and wsrs heartily encored.
George M. butcher was the principal
speaker of the evening, and in his
usual forcibls style he spoke Of ths
good work being done, and o. the ad
vance Of the temperance cause. He
paid a glowing tribute to the good la,
dies, under whose auspices the meeting
was held, and spoke Of he benefits
that already had accrued from their
labors ; ard appealed to the audience
to give them that aid so necessary for a
successful furtherance Of their work.
His speech was listened to with wrapt
attention, and he closed by asking the
audience for generous collection, to
which they responded heartily, by Civ
ing one of the largest collections that
has for some time been taken in the
roem. Prof. James H. Crabb did much
towards making the meeting a sHccess.
The audience, as usual were delight.
ed with his efforts, and though he read
four selections during the .evening it
did not seem to satisfy the more than
pleased auditors who never seemed to
tire of listening to the Professor. The
meeting was most successful and en-
couraging one, and the Ladies' Aid So
ciety have every reason to feel en-
couraged to goon in their good work.
The meeting was closed by singing the
Doxology.
