Tea Drinking ind tho ,ooth.

Some years since, when on duty ut re-
cruitiug stations in tho north Of England, l
rock observations OH tlv, great amount OF dis
Gaze and loss of tlio teeth existing among the
class Of mon who offered themselves. 1t be-
came a cause OF reflection Of itself in great
numbers as f:lr rs inquiries went was led
TO truce It to the working classes i'll the
manufacturing towns, and this went on oil
through tho day, whether with food or not.
IN fact, instead Of O'clock tea being the In
-vcntion OF the upper classes, it was found to
azist to an injurious extent In the working
classes long before that emo. Tea seems to
have peculiar tendency to cause hyper@-
mia in the tooth saci, leading to iniiarnnla-
ton, and eventually, abscess OF the fnng,
with, of course, dcntralgia Mt every stage.
Whether this special tendency was duo TO
cine or tannr having an elective affinity

It would be curious TO know II medical men,

The Wilmington Fair.

The Wilmington Fairs exhibition is
now thing of the past and the deserted
grounds now contrast forcibly with the
lie and movement of the past week.
Inc falr has been success in every par
tlcuiar aud the projectors are pleased
with their venture. About $4,000 people
visited the exhibition and the receipts
from all sources will be upwards of $20,-
OU0 OF which $4,000 Is con sumed in pre-
mlums. Much of the remainder will be
eaten up by the current expenses, which
will be considerable. The one item OF
nay and straw, which was all furnished
by the association, cost 500. The mana
gers, however, will come out on the right
side of the ledger
The receipts at the four gates amounted
to between $4,000 and $9,000 while the
receipts from the sales of tickets by the
railroads will amount to as much more.
The sales of season tickets, entrance
money from races and exhibitors, sale
OF privileges, &c, will swell the aggre-
gate receipts to good proportions. All
this was accomplished under conditions
unfavorable enough to scare Off less bold
and enterprising projectors. All tn is
was accomplished on working capital of
S11, 600. What the association now wants
is to raise an additional $4,000, maxim q
the total capital stock S25, 900 and then, as
President George g. Lobdell, says "We
will make fair that will eclipse anything
in this section of the country"
By next season the association proposes
to erect several new buildings, for the
benefit Of exhibitors. The managers
desire to make the Wilmington fair out
shine anything OF the kind in the east.

next thing in order is for him to have
his friends to hear the imperfect notes OF

have them to respond in the same liberal

I do not understand his meaning when
he says he may not be on my side of the
army when he seems to be fighting for
the same cause unless it be he proposes
to command a separate Battalion and
make more vigorous attack on the slow
and inert members of our community and
to rally them to the Books in larger num-

great success, and he will certainly re-

GEO. W. WILSON

IEO. W. WILSON.
The subject of this sketch, one of Mid :
dletown's best known and valued citizens.
died on Thursday, October 11th, after a
brief illness, of apoplexy. Mr.. Wilson
was born in Camden DEL, December 8,
1926, and consequently would have been
So years of age had he lived few weeks
longer. His boyhood was spent in Cam.
den, where he commenced his trade, that
of undertaking, but afterwards removed
to smyrna, and completed it, under the
late Alex FAIRIES, of that place. In 1851,
he removed to Middletown where he has
since resided. About year after coming
here he was married to Miss M. e. Boyes,
who survives him. They had five chill
dren, two of whom are deceased, an infant
daughter, and Geo. Randolph, who died
about four years since, aged 25 years,
and therear living Fanny, wife of Harry
Vasey Esq, VIM. J. Wilson Esq. and
Miss Clara B. Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson's first stand In business in
Middletown was in the rear OF Howells
Factory; from there he removed to
ground at present occupied by the dwell
ing of Manlove Wilson /; afterwards to a
building on South Broad Street, and from
there to the property at Broad and Green
Street, where he has since resided. Mr..
Wilson was the oldest member of the T.
o. o. F. of this town at the time of his
decease. The reputation and sterling
worth of the deceased needs no evidence
from us to establish. By his fellow citi-
zens, he was respected and honored,
wherever known.
At home, by those who knew him best,
the deep sorrow in which his loss is
is sufficient evidence of his
place in their hearts. Called from this
life while yet in the prime of his useful
ness, and from the very midst OF his busi-
ness, his loss will be the more severely
'elt and regretted, yet the mysteries of
are past finding out, and we
ire constrained to turn to those who are
left to find succor, and consolation. We
