On Saturday night last the frame dwell
ing of Mr. Thomas Wright near Cooches'
Bridge, in Delaware, not far from the line
dividing Maryland and Delaware, was
burned with its contents. The family barely
escaped. Besides the ,use and furniture
one hundred dollars in money was burned.
A horse belonging to Mr.. Wright, who is
well known here, was frightened by an
engine and broke loose from where it was
hitched, near Centre station, Newark, on
Monday morning. The carriage was dam
aged and the horse injured slightly. Mr.
Wright's friends sympathze with him in
his troubles and are showing this practically
by circulating a subscription paper for his
benefit.

Men differ in ideas of proper apparel.
One man insists on "style," preferring ultra
appearances to comfort or exact fit; another
"must have comfort even if he loses style
and exact fit, while a third demands "an
exact tit," and sacrifices style and comfort
to obtain it. That tailor is truly gifted who
com bines these ideas and properly satisfies
each demand. In one garment one tailor
has accomplished this. "Thompson's Patent
Cut Trousers" are perfect combination of
style, comfort and it. E. o. Thompson, the
patentee, has. from small beginnings, be
come the largest merchant tailoring firm in
our county, chiefly through the merits of
this single specially, even at high prices.
Now that he introduces them as a ready
made speciality, with the winning induce
ment of economy, there will be immense
GALES. Making them in his own house at the
lowest first cost, they are sold cheap. Good
qualities and special styles are guaranteed,
because the cassimeres are woven to his
special order and pattern. The prices-S3. so
for good on IS to 90 for the best-affords
two pair now for one formerly. Testi-
monials can be furnished to those unac-
but it is sufficient that Thompson's Patent
Cut Trousers are popular all over the United
States. After reading this notice and the
advertisement in our columns, you will bs
sure to investigate and invest. From the
