Miss Nelson.

On Monday evening next the theatre
goers of our city are to have the oppor-
tunity of seeing and hearing the beauti-
full Miss Ade aide Nelson, in Shake
speares comedy OF "Twelfth Night" In
speaking of Miss Nelson the Philedel-
phia Record says:
"rhe Julia OF Miss Nelson, in "The
Hunchoack," given last night at the
Walnut Street Theatre, was one of those
finished personatlons that have rendered
this lady so great favorite with the best
class of our theatre -goers. Her perform
anCe was marked with all the varied
lights and shadows, gay and serious
changes, that exhibited her power to the
greatest advantage, and the pleasure OF
the audience that crowded the theatre
was manifested by wIapt attention
rather than loud and frequent applause
hough the lady was twice called before
the curtain. Mr.. Weaver, Sr., made 8
vigorous Master Waiter, aud the many
line lines of the part received full justice
at his hands; the Sir Thomas clifford ol
Mr. Edward Compton was manly, tend
er and self restrained. The play was a
treat. This is the last week of Miss
Nelson's farewell engagement, and
lovers of fine acting should make note
of the fact. This evening "Twelftf

for d fendant. Fulton opened the cas e
and Day occupied all the morning after
Ii O'Clock and The afternoon session un-
til twenty-five minutes after five in citing
precedents from Maine to Mexico aud
then plead the ''act of limitation" but
subsequently recalled it under pressure
of friends of the Academy. Fulton
closed the argument about II O'Clock
Tue sday morning, and the jury gave a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff.
A case involving the question of usury
elected much interest. James and John
X. Evans former Delawareans living in
Mi. souri, gave note IN 1877 to party
there with interest stipulated in the tody
Of the note at ~ per cent. Subsequently
Jas. Evans returned TO this State and the
noe was sent home for collection. Pay
ment was refused because it claimed
usurious interest.
1t was proved that the parties all then
resided in Missouri, and as the laws Of
that state codified in '65 and rattle d in
'GG by the Leg slaticn, stated the usual
rate of per cent. the laws low special
agreement between parties for any rate
up to 10 per cent. and in respect to the
"comity OF States" the laws of Missouri
under which the contract was made, was
held to be binding, and verdict rendered

1t is understood that all the existing
ho'els were relicensed and all the new

the Court has never had remonslranc,

no, recollect one from any place in New

The Court will probably adjourn to

Enemies of the Wheat.

The young Wheat all over the country
is more or less affected by its two dead
liest enemies, the grub and the Hessian
fly, and unless something transpires to
check the ravages of these insects very
soon, the crop next year will be serious
ly shortened. These two common enc
mics Of wheat work decidedly different !;
and, under circumstances favorable to
their work, they greatly damage the
wheat crop. The Hessian fly gets in
side the stock of the tender wheat and
cuts it off; in cry weather it plays havoc
in this manner, but in wet weather the
wheat grows up quickly beyond the reach
Of the fly. The grub, on the other hand,
cuts off the main root between the grain
and the stalk and kills it effectually.
Were rain to come the ravages of the
fly, which are the most extensive this
season, would be checked in a great
measure.

TIE WEST JERSEY FERRY BOAT Sue
CEssFULIY LAUNCHED THIS MORN
mo by THE H.& ii. co.
At high-tide this morning about 5
o'clock, the arctic, the handsome new
ferry boat just built by the Harlan d
Hollingsworth Company for the West
Jersey Ferry Company, slid gracefully
off the ways into the Christiana. The
launch took p ace earlier than was ex-
pected owing to the fact that hgh.tide
came sooner than had been calculated
for. The launch was most successful
one. Only few spectators were pre-
sent.
The dimensions are as follows
Length between perpendiculars, 140
feet length over all, l52 feet ; breath OF
beam, moulded, 80 feet; breadth
over all, 81 feet depth, IL feet
inches. The boat has iron hull and
wheel houses and iron gallows frame,
and the principal beams are Of iron.
Her machinery consists of a walking
beam jet condensing engine, whose
cylinder is 3S inches, and whose stroke
is 10 feet, and which is arranged with
Stevens cut of.
The boat is model of fine workman
ship, and in all her parts reflects credit
upon her builders. She is almost the
| counterpart of several other boats bull,
| by the same firm for the W. j. f. Co
She will ply between Philadelphia an,
p, Camden. The Arctic will not leave 70
| some time yet, as she is still far from
, completed.

The Morocco Trade.
HOW IT HAS REVIVED IN WILMINGTON
AND Is NOW BOOMING.

how IT HAS REVIVED IN WILMINGTON
AND is NOW BOOMING.
A GAZETTE reporter talked with Mr.
Baird of the well-known morocco firm
of Charles Baird & Co., for few min
utes about the present condition of the
morocco trade in this city and its filrtl-
er prospects. From this talk he learned
that the present state of affairs in that
particular branch was of very pleasant
nature. All the firms running at all are
busy and are making,not only over time,
but are occupied to nearly their full ca
pacity. There is quite demand for fin
ished stock and prices are much better
than during the spring and summer.
The only drawback the business is hav
ing at pre- ent is the recent rise in the
price of raw material, which is OCCASION
ed by a scarcity. Mr.. Baird said that
the great increase could not be better il
lustrated than by comparison Of the
work done with that being done four or
five months ago. On June 9Th the GA
zETTE published statement of the bus
mess in which roseate picture " as Civ
ell from some OF the manufacturers, and
four hundred and ninety dozens OF skins
per day were reported as being used up
daily by the eleven firms. "Now," said
MIR. Baird, there is great improvement
over that and the number OF dozens used
daily cannot be less than five hundred
and fifty. In last April, the number
was ABOUT four hundred. do not think
there is the least probability of the trade
Stacking any more for long time"

POLice Record.

The first prisoner at the Police Court
this morning was John Miller, little
shaver, with a scared look, who was
charged by VIM. Dorsey, another boy,
with assault and battery. Dorsey is one
of the street lamp Lighters, and he said
night, and when he did not give him one
knocked him do wn with a stone. The
stone hit the lad in the head, and MOI
only knocked him down but cut III
head badly. He was find two dollars
and required to pay costs.
An abandoned woman, named Maggie
Blnndell, was the next object of Magi :
terial consideration, and officer Cham
bers testified that, last night, at 8lO
O'Clock, he heard the woman swearing
around barber shop at Front ami
NJ adison streets. She finally fell in the
gutter, and was so drunk she lay there.
Fifty cents and costs was imposed.

Good audiences are the rule at the
Seventh Street Opera House every night.
The management is determined to cater
to the tastes of his patrons and is engag-
lag new talent every week. The new
faces this week are George Drew, color
ed comedian. He is good actor and
seems to p'ease those present. The
Marietta Brothers, pantomime artists,are
good in their liue. Among the female
artists Miss Kitty Norton seems to be
prime favorite. She deserves the ap-
plause that she receives as she is apleas-
ing little vocalist and captivates her
hearers.
The management has also set apart
Friday night as ameteur night, in addi-
ton to the performance of the profess
sionals. On next Friday evening Master

JOsefy.

The JosetIy concert at the Opera

of the slim audiences that usually as
semble on such an occasion, and it is to
be regretted that the musical taste of our
citizens is not such as to make them a
deeper interest in such excellent music
as was rendered by the gifted pianist.
Notw outstanding the fact that the audi
ence was small last night, it was very
appreciative one, and encored the great
performer frequently. The fact cannot
be disguised that Josefiy is among the
greatest performers on the piano forte of
the age, and he showed himself to be
not only rare musical genius, but a
master of his work. He plays with mar

The returns from Tuesdays election
in this State still come in very slowly.
Such as have been received show the
election of Mr.. Cornell (Rep.) as Gov
ernor by an as yet unascertainrd plurali-
ty. There is majority against him on
900. Clarkson N. Potter, the Democratic
candidate for Lieutenant-Gove re-
ceived in this city 1872 majority, being
the largest ever given except once before
for a candidate on State ticket. With
the rest Of the Democratic State ticket
Mr.. Potter is elected. The Republicans
yesterday set up claim to the election
of some of the candidates on their State
ticket, under the pretence that Mr.. kel
ly had been employed by them to break
down some of the other Democratic
nominees as well as Governor Robinson.
No returns have been received to sustain
this claim, which will hardly be made
again excepting in the Tribune and jour
nails of that sort.
The Republicans have doubtless Sc
cured a two-thirds majority in both
branches of the Legislature, though three
or four districts are still in doubt. The
Democrats have elected their Senator in
Mr.. Conkling's own county, and it is
noteworthy that there, as well as in st.
Lawrence and in Jefferson counties, both
of them strongholds of the Republicans
