Good Common Sense.
New York Times.

Alta funeral in New Rochelle, the ottici
ating Clergyman informed those who
We're in the church that it was requested
of those who should assemble at the
place Of burial that they should remain
covered during the final ceremonies. II
was explained that this suggestion was
made iout Of regard for the health of many
whose exposure to the bleak raw wind
prevailing might be attended with
danger. 1t often happens that the
services at the grave are long, aid more
than once it has been said of man
brought down to death by a sudden
attack of pneumonia, thar his fatal
illness was contracted while standing
bareheaded in an outdoor funeral SER
vice. Not long since, while the ground
was soppy with an untimely snowfall,
those who had charge Of a burial at
Woodlawn provided floor cloths for the
covering of the turf around burial
place for the protection Of those who
were gathered to pay their last tributes
to the memory Of a friend. These recent
instances Of thoughtfulness for the
living are commended to the attention
of all people who desire that respect for
the dead shall not cause needless pain
and discomfort to those who survive.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
Tearing Down the Flag-PartleS to
be Prosecuted.

The regular meeting of the Board OF
Health was held last evening, with
President Bush in the chair. All the
members were present, and after the
usual reports of the executive officers
and committees relating to nuisances
had been received and acted upon. the
case Of Mrs. Clayton, of 62l Shipley
street, was taken up for consideration.
Mrs. Clayton has been sick with the
smallpox, and during her illness she
was nursed by Mrs. Chadwick. As
soon as the case was reported, yellow
| flag was taken to the house and put up
by an executive officer. This was i'm
mediately torn down by one of the in
mates, and another was Sent in its
place, which shared the same fate, A
third one was taken to the placo, and it
was also removed, and tie officers de.
sisted from any f.rther attempts to
oblige them to Comply the law.
After the matter had been fully dis.
cusscd, :ne executive officer of that
district was instructed to prosecute the
parties as soon as Mrs. Clayton is con-
valescent.
The report Of the two vaccine physi-
clans appointed by the Board was re-
ceceived and accepted. There were
eleven new cases of smallpox reporbed
for the past week, and DR.. Draper sad
he would like to have the names and
residences of the parties, so that he
could see if they would consent to 60 to
the hospital
The following orders were allowed !:

STILL ADVANCING.
The Success OF Young Wa nasnak or
in Wilmington.

Some time last year mention was
made in these columns Of the increase
of the business Of Stansbury Murray,
the popular barber and dealer In cigars,
at No. 9 French street, and at the time
he was termed as Wilmington's Young
Wanamaker, on account of his tho
rough going business principles, his lib.
eral use of the columns of the REPUB-
LICAN, and last, but not least, the many
improvements at his place of business.
This state of affairs has continued from
time to time, until now person who
visited his store six months ago would
hardly know the place, so great have
been the changes. Among the improve
case Of neat design, and 50 arranged as
to give increased room in the interior,
which is decided improvement over
that Of six months ago. An additional
window has also been placed in the
front, which has the desired effect of
making the room much lighter and
more inviting.
The green front has been changed to
that of q brilliant rod, the signs re-
touched, and both the interior and ex-
terror completely changed. Mr.. Muir
ray attributes his success to the liberal
use of the columns of the REPUBLICAN
in advertising the celebrated Wales
five cent cigars, of which he has the ex-
elusive sale, and his novel cards iu the
paper day by day have attracted con-
siderable attention and brought many
customers. His cigars are always as
represented, as we have indulged, and
know whereof we speak. 1t is said
that time changes all things, and az
time changes 30 does the business of
Mr.. Murray, but always for the better,
simply because he advertises literally
in these columns.

JOHN y. HOUSTON,
Resolutions OF Respect by the
Young Mems ReDubltcan Club.

AT special meeting of the Young
Mems Republican Club, held last even
ing, the following resolutions relative to
the death of John s. Houston, were
unanimously adopted
1t is with deep regret and sorrow
that we, the members of the Young
Mems Republican Club, are called upon
to note the death of our late fellow mem
Der John S. Houston,
" We recognized in him, in his char
actcr and attainments, a worthy and
promising gain to our organization and
to the cause for which we stand. His
conception OF public duty, oftue duty of
+ the citizen, were mature, unseltsh and
enlightened to remarkable degree
He was prompt, capable and con-
sccntious in the performance Of his
duties in the club, and his disposition
and manner Of Intercourse were notably
kind and cOnsideratc.
In his death we feel that the club
has lost an efficient member, the CON-
muuily and the State an excellent citi-
zen, and his parents worthy and aifec-
tiUnate SON
The Secretary was directed to trans
nit to the family of the deceased a copy
of the above.

This is one Of the best light opera
companies that has ever visited this
city, and the singing and acting of Jen-
ME Winston and Amy Gordon cannot
be eXcelled. The chorus OF twenty
voices is as good as any that ever ap-
peared in his city, and the music by
their own orchestra is superb The

the terms whereby they received per-

are now forfeited, in addition to $40, 900,
by reason of their consolidation with
the Western Union. The company
denies having been consolidated, but al
the arrangements have just been ratified

| PEEP INTO THE FAME FAIR,
Il Number OF Valuable Articles
Obliging Attendants and Lady
Assistants.

The fair now in progress In the Odd
Fellows Hall, for the benefit Of the
Fame Hose Fire Company, is certainly
deserving of patronage at the hands Of
our citizens, who should contribute
largely to our fire laddies, who are al
ways ready and willing to risk their
lives In case of fire, in order to save the
property of the citizens from destruc-
ton. The fair is made very attractive
by the numerous tables whereon are
placed handsome and useful articles
which are being CHANGED OF. Among
the most attractive Is a fine walnut bed
room suit and rich parlor suit of furni-
ture, which occupy conspicuous places
10 the room. The first table is in charge
of Mr.. Wigglesworth, assisted by his

birds, mounted by w. S. Wood, the
taxidermist, all of which will be chanc-
ed of, together with ton of coal, and
numerous other articles.
The Washington Gray's Band, on
their recent visit to the fair, presented
the Company with handsome frame
containing portraits of their members,
which occupies prominent position on
this table.
Table No. 2 is in charge Of William
Gamble and Leonard Smith, assisted by
a number of young ladies, who cast
sharp eyes at the reporter, and warned
him not to mention their names, which
we refrain from doing for fear of inher-
iting their displeasure. This table con-
tains one of the handsOmest bride dolls
ever CHANGED off in fair ; also q clock
made of delicate scroll work, marble
top tables, fancy stand, etc.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Kopp preside
over the next table which contains a
beautiful lounge, wash-stand made of
scroll work, silver castor, stove and
other useful articles They are assisted
by number Of young ladies.
The adjoining table is in charge of
Mr.. John Hubert and wife, assisted by
Miss Lizzie Grier. The most noticeable
articles on the tablets large bed spread

um sized refrigerator, model steam

ment table, Joseph Myers and A. M.
