Punch is immortalized in the sentence:
"Adyice to those about to marry-Don't"
There are two or three young men in this
city at the present time whom house
hunting has nearly worried into accepting
this advice. Working in the shop during
the day, at the tap of the O'Clock bell
they rush to their boarding houses, bolt q
hasty supper and then dnsh hither and
thither through the streets glaring with
feverish eye at the long lines of brick and
mortar, undecorated by single card
''To Let"
1t was the boast of growing village in
the oil regions that man could not drive
through the streets with cart load of
bricks without being stopped by eager
quesiioners, who wanted to know where
he was going to build aud what would be
probable rent of the prospective
telling. Wilmington has seen this and
3ue one point better. Se,ue OF the houses
lately built in the northwestern part of
tine city were engaged before the digging
of the cellars was completed
A leading real estate man said, day or
two ago: I'VE have from ten to fifteen
applicants every day for small houses that
We cannot supply. Notwithstanding that
we shall build probably 400 houses this
year, we shalt not have enough. Our
manufacturers are all busy somo of them
have more work than they can really do,
and this draws men here from somewhere
who want houses. The demand is for
email houses, conveniently located, and
renting at from IS to $12 per month, and
the city is actually suffering now from the
dearth o. such houses. We could rent 30
small houses in two weeks, II we had
them"
On July /, 1878, there were about $50
vacant houses in Wilmington. On July l,
1879, there were over $50. On July /.
1880. there were less than 100, good, bad
and Indifferent, and many of theia were
houses too large and expensive for work
ingmen.
The cellars are now being dug for 80
new houses on the property on Walnut,
Tatnall and Eleventh streets, lately sold
by the Christiana River Improvement
Company.
There are parties in the field talking
aboupt erecting blast furnace in Will
mington If the requisite stock $3.50, 900,
can be taken. There liz also movement
on foot to erect glass factory here, and
fair prospect that II will be successful.

THE TERRIBLE TORPEDO.
A Gillian Transport Blown UP in
CaIIaO by Three Hundred Pounds
inf DVrunpyIe

PANAMA, July "a The blowing up of
the Uhilian transport L0a by torpedo in
Cailso bay has caused much glorifcation
among Peruvians. The affair ~ thus de-
scribed: A Peruvian officer took HI urdi-
nary fruit boat, put torpedo under a
fall, bottom, loaded cargo OF choice
fruits vegetables and game over the false
bottom, aud set the craft ndrift toward the
blockading equadron.
1t was sighted by the Lea ard that ves-
sci sent out two boats and the fruit boat
was captured and brought alongside The
Liza, AID the work Of Giaaharsing her COM
nerced. As the weight on the false bot
tom diminished the machinery connected
with the torpedoes was set free ard in a
moment 300 pounds of dynamite were ex-
ploded.
Those who watched with braathless
int rest from the shore say the effect Was
awful in the extreme. The L0d was
almost lifted out of tie water. Every
house in Callao was sh ken 10 its founda-
ton and every ship in the bay shivered rs
if an earthquake rolled beneath The i'll
fated ship appeared as envsloped in one
mass of Il ,me, which resolved itself into
dense clouds of black smoke. When this
cleared away she seemed unharmed, but a
moment later her bows Went high in the
air AID she went down. After the explosion
which wrecked tho L0a, neighborIng
Vessels picked up about 40 of her crew,
some of them injured beyond recovery,
out about 100 lives were sacrificed.
Two American and two English men-of-
war and several other war vessels were in
the vicinity and ths disaster MIGHT vary
easily have happened TO any of them.

SMYRNA, August 4.-Within the past few
days both the dryers located in town have
commenced operations, and between them
employ force of about 100 hands, consisting
principally of women and children. Our can
hing factory will also begin work i'll few
days.
Our basket factory furnishes employment
for about 50 boys who would otherwise be idle
all summer, and who, for the most part, attend
school during the winter.
Tins it will be seen that these industries
are a source of revenue flowing into the eX-
chequer of families who would otherwise find
it hard to make both ends meet.
A barn on the farm occupied by John H..
Simpson, and belonging to Dr. William Cum
minis, was consumed by fire on Monday. 1t
contained his whole crop of wheat in addi-
ton to several tons of hay very serious
loss.
For the past week we have been suffering
badly from dust, owing to our sprinkler be-
ing or duty, but yesterday we were visited by
copious showers, which efYectnally laid the
dust for Il time.
A man by the name of Samuel Jess, was

cries as AFTER him." Run him out"

mob WAS 'foled in its attempt, though it |
did not know it until next day. II WIS
thought at the time that Harris would |
leave on the next train. an impression
with which he was satis fed but, af,er
lingering about the depot for some time,
he slipped away in company with white
friend and successfully eluded the mob for
the night Yesterday morning, however, he
came up smiling, and had not yet shaken
the dust Of the city from his feet" Harris
is not easily bulldoz-d, whatever else may
be said of him.
