Two OF them brought Sl,100, and the

The number that drew the clock was

over than all their furniture. No beg.

receiving the congratulations OF his
friends upon the nomination Of Cleve-

his way home about 8 o'clock in the

nauseated state. In this condition he
was clinging to a laiup-post aud reliev
ing his overloaded stomach, when u
little yaller" dog OF all sorts of a
cross breed came along and commenced
smiling at the excreta of his stomach
Whereupon he thus soliloquized, as he
chung swingingly to the lamp post;
femme see; [ got my lobster and
New England rum at Buffers; at

wheat whiskey; at Hewitt's some punch:
1T Carlisle's some Rye whiskey; at
Randall's some lemonade; at Morrison's
some Bourbon whiskey, and somc
Kentucky segars, devilish strong they
were too; at Bayard's 1 had terrapin,
soft shelled crabs. peach brandy and
some apple brandy; and a lot of other
drinks from some of those Southern
fellows, but where the ID did get

Nickers found an aged colored man
lying insensible on Bush's wharf at the
foot Of French street, and had him con
veyed to the police station. He was
laid in the corridor and a physician
summoned. The man was recognized

sides in South Wilmington, and while
awaiting the arrival O: the physician
the officers did all In their power to sur
vive the unconscious man, but without
avail. When the physician arrived the
efforts were renewed, but the man only
gave an occasional sigh. The doctor
then came to the conclusion that the
mall was suffering from an attack OF
apoplexy, and gave little hopes OF his
recovery. The man continued in All
unconscious state throughout the night,
and he was removed to the almshou use
this morning. He was still living at
