An Old Land Mark DESTROYED.

OF the old one, workmen being now

for the erection Of the new building

stood, however, to have been at one
time the home of the Gilpin family.
Mr.. Brown relates that upon one ocCa-
sion, when he applied for license for
the place while the Court WAS at New
Castle and Judge Gilpin was Chief
Justice, that eminent jurist remarked
that he knew all about the place. that
he was born there, was raised there,
learned the trade Of currier at Fourth
and Orange while he lived there, that
h's father kept the Wilmington Post
Office there, and he could not withhold
license from his old native home when
it was legirimately applied for.
The truth of the assertion that Post
Office was kept there is attested by the
fact that in one Of the window shutters
there is letter drop, which has been
filed by a block put in to close it.
Further proof that the place was once
the home of the Gipin family is found
in the deed of the property, which Mr..
Brown holds, showing that it was once
the property Of James Gilpin.
