c. Whann, of J. H. Cranston & Co.,
Of Newport, has just returned from q
business tour, from the West, having
been away about three weeks and hav.
ing travelled through Missouri and
Kansas and as far West as the Indian
Territory. He states that business is
booming and crops are good.
The finest part Of his trip was from
ST. Louis up the Mississippi to Dubu.
que, Iowa. During his trip he fell in
with Mr.Seeds former Wilmingtonian
at Manchester, Iowa, where he is engaged
in the milling and seed business and
he is also cashier Of bank in that
town. At the same town he met Lewis
Paxsen formerly Of Wilmington, who
is taking the world easy.
b Mr.. Whann says Iowa can't grow
much wheat but goes her whole length
on butter and Republicans. Mr..
Whann visited James Russell formerly
of this city but now at Forrestville,
= Icwa. Mr.. Russell is also engaged in
the milling business. In St. Louis
the Republicans we're all for Grant but
have heartily accepted Garfield. OF
curse Iowa doomed for Blaine but it
was now all Garfield. This Democrats
OF St. Louls wanted the strongest can.
didate, without regard to fitness or
character.
Baysrd was popular in Missouri. The
people OF Iowa have co. over the old
Gieenbaok scare and will give the old
Republican majority this fall. Mr..
Whann is pleased with the west and
says the people are passing their east

WOOdcOck.

The season for shooting woodcock
opens July LIST, and continues until the
winter is we'll advanced. Owing to diff
ference in the game laws the season
commenced in Maryland some weeks
ago. Respecting the Delaware law a
sportsman relates an incident. On
the day following the opening of
the woodcock season In Mary
land, an Eastern Shore friend wrote to
him saying that on a certain day he
would send him half dozen wood
cock. Referring to the State law the
Wilmingtonian saw to his surprise that
it debarred him from shooting, dispos-
ing Of or having in his possession any
wocdcock, and he had to write immedi-
ately and tell his friend not to send
the game. WoOdcock this year are not
plentiful.
