A Model Clothing HOuse.

The Wilmington Clothing House, at
the northeast corner Of Fourth and
Market streets, il not only a'model en-
porium, but under the efficient man
asement of John W. DiefendoIf, it is
model in its arrangements and every
thing that conduces to the convenience
and comfort of customers. Mr.. Diefen-
dorf has only been about three years In
the city Of Wilmington, but in that
short length of time he has made hosts
of friends who remember him now IN
his new place Of business in the distrl
button of their patronage. The estao-
lishment of a frst-class merchant tail
oring and clothing emporium was ~
exp .riment in which Mr.. d. embarked
trusting for generous support from
those who were willing TO patronize
place where everything was just what
it was recommended. Mr.. d. has only
been in business a little over three
months yet in that time he has sold
one half as many goods as he was ex-
pected to sell in a year, indeed he has
succeeded beyond his most sanguine
ex pectations, thereby placing the sue
cess of his enterprise beyond doubt.
Now what makes Mr.. Diefendo.f SO
popular ? To this question there are
several answers, principally amongst
which are the following: His goods
are what they are represented to be.
They IRE all Of the best quality. The
prices are low. One price is not asked
and another price taken. The employ
ees from Mr.. D. all through the list are
gentlemanly, atfable, polite and oblig-
ing. The goods are all arranged IN
classes to suit the ages of customers. II
is 10 hardship to show goods, even
though no purchases are made. There
and many reasons which might DO
mentioned combine to make the estab-
lishment popular. In the large assort-
ment of clothing laid in to supply the
holiday demand, there are but few
specialties for there is not an article In
the store that would not make hand.
some, su bstantial and acceptable Christ
mas gift, and yet We would call atteh,
ton TO the large stock of overcoats and
overcoating on hand, ulsters OF the
latest Style aud ulsterettes, a new and
handsome style Of overcoat noted Tor
comfort and convenience. Boys can
not be better and more handsomely nt-
ted out with suits than =. the Whining
ton Clothing House, and those who con,
template making present to irlena
should not neglect to drop in at the N.
w. corner of Fourth and Market SITS.

Attic Boston House.

Mr.. Mccall the courteous and gentle
manly chief and his efficient corps OF
assistants at Mr.. Holmes establishment,
No. 2l3 Market street, are being, taxed
to their utmost to wait upon the "run'
that has been made upon the house dur
ing the past month or two. But unlike
a savings bank when a run is made
upon the Boston, Mr.. Holmes instead OF
closing his doors opens them the wider
and the customer always finds valae
received. Everything in the gentle
mems clothing line is found here in
profusion and as the purchasers con-
tinue to drain the shelves and counters
Mr.. H. continues to restock and thus q
supply is always kept on hand. In
handkerchisfs, ties, gloves, etc., Mr..
FL. has a magnificent assortment, and
hundreds of things that are beautiful
can here be selected.

TWENTY YEARS STANDING.


The largest line Of ladies' coats,
cloaks and dolmans to be found In this
State ia what Mr.. Lichtsnstein, Of No.
226 Market street, claims to have In
stock, and from the hundreds Of arti-
cles OF these lines Of ladies' wear, which
line the splsndidly appointed sales
room Of Mr.. Lichtenstein's large estab-
lishment, we should agree that what
Mr.. L. claims 10 founded on fact.
For twenty years has Mr.. hchten-
stein catered to the buying public at
this stand and during that time he has
built up . trade which Is an honor to
him and to his city. Aiming always to
deal fairly, honestly and justly with
all who call upon him, he u now reap
ing the reward of such course. In
addition to the cloaks, coats and dol
mans above mentioned, there is moth
ing in the line Of ladies wear which is
not represented fully in his stock, and
of silks be has a selection seldom equal

Not only during the Holiday season
but ever since the opening Of his mag.

flown in upon Col. Jno. H. Moore, No.
228 Market street, in an sver increas-
ing tide, and the Col. has been kept
busy restocking and making selections
in the large cities. In his boys cloth
ing department especially does the
Colonel do an immense business, and
the wonder is where all the boys come
from who are fitted and furnished at
his establishment. In addition to a
full and splendid assortment of ulsters,
ulsterrettss, over coats, press coats,
pants, vests, ETC., in best lines of makes
to be found in the market the child

G. M. Benbrook, of this place, has
q vegetable curiosity in his garden
thatis something entirely new to
us. 1t is Uncommon pepper that
has yielded three crops for three
successive years; and 1t is now get
ting ready for the fourth yield.
Portions OF the more tender
branches die every year, and are
trimmed off, leaving the main stalk
to put forth new shoots. We have
always supposed that the pepper is
an annual plant; this seems to be
perennial. But, then, California is
always committing some freak or
other.
We Heard three men of this val.
ley talking about their young
orange trees the other day, from
which we gathered the following
facts: Mr.. H. Sesler said he had a
two-year.old bud that produced
flfty-two oranges, and Mr.. o. P.
Parsons replied that he had one of
the same age that is bearing fifty
one. Mr.. John Tweedy said that
he had eleven trees of the Mission
variety, budded on Mission, only
seven years old. that are bearing
fine oranges, 1876 of which fill box
of the size in which this fruit is
shipped. We think these facts are
pretty good for "hog and corn
country"
Specimens of oats and wheat,
grown on the farm of j. s. Elliot,
on east side Of New River, have
been left at this office, The seed
came from Sonoma cotthty, and is
known as the "White Dutch"
variety. Mr.. Elliot says it is much
better than the common kind, so
generally known. The stalk
grows as high as eight and
half feet, and the head
is FIFTEEN inches long. The wheat
is also from Sonoma county,
and is supposed to be the Austria
iiRn. 1t is beardless, the grain is
large and this variety seems to be
subject to no rust, as it has escaped,
although grown on rich bottom
land. Mr.. Elliot promises to write
to his brother, who sent him the
seed, and get further information,
which we shall communicate to our
readers. If this wheat, which sew
eral judges have pronounced very
superior, can be grown on our bot.
tom lands without rust, it is very
valuable to this section.

Rev. Mr.. Kills Lecture at Ana
helm.
tAnahelm Gazette.I

The lecture delivered by the Rev.
w. HI. Hill of Los Angeles on
Thursday evening was worthy of q
much larger attendance than that
which was present. We should
hail large attendance at such
lectures as q good Indication of a
taste for higher entertainments than
that which negro minstrels and
Terpsichorean gatherings afford,
and we hope that the time will
come when an overlooking hall will
mark the intellectual appetite of
our people. The lecturer began by
vindicating his right as clergy
man to engage In the work
OF societies such as the Ma
sonic order and the Odd Eel
lows. The Church of Christ
10 . great brotherhood, and has for
one Of its objects the amelioration
of evil and relief of distress, but its
members do not always do their
duty, and distress still exists and
cries for help. The benevoience of
Odd Fellowship and Masonry meets
to q great extent the demand, and
IN working with these societies the
minister of the Gospel is helping
forward one great end Of his minis.
try. In particularizing these two
societies Mr.. Hill paid warm tri-
butte to others, such as the Good
Templars, etc, but said he would
speak principally Of those which
he knew mDst Intimately.
The place and work of such socie-
Ties were forcibly and eleuuently
exhibited in connection with three
leading points. 1st. The power of
association in charitable and be-
nev0lent works. Individual charity
needs channels through which to
flow. 1t needs concentration and
direction; otherwise much of its
force is dissipated. The effect of
association is to encourage and in.
tensify the benevolence of the
world.
I'd. Their social effects. Differ
ences Of race, pursuits, religious
creed and political opinions all tend
t. sever men into cliques and
parties. AnimosIties and antago-
nlsms arise and perpetuate the evil.
The influence of such societies 10 to
weld together differing elements
and to soften down asperities.
Striking illustrations of this prop
ositlon were adduced by the Rever-
end lecturer.
Sd. Their Influence In the con.
servation Of existing institutions. 1

were purchased by Mr.. Morton and

from Los Angeles. Buyers are pay.
ing two and q half cents per pound
for hogs, and there seems to be
downward tendency in prices.
Our valley is gradually assuming
importance as an exporter of wal
nuts and oranges. For several
years walnuts have been raised
here, but it is only quite recently
that orange trees have come into
bearing. Two shipments have just
been made to San Francisco, and
the fruit was exceptionally fine.
Last year 25, ,557 pounds of walnuts
were shipped to San Francisco, be-
sides those sold at homo and used
by the producers themselves, which
comprised no small amount. This
year there will be several shippers
OF oranges from here, James Shugg,

Mr.. J. II. Burker is the largest
