Personal.
We were very much pleased to-day to
receive a call from Mr. W. O. Wolfe, the
ditor and ProDrietbr of the Monroe
'nquirer, who is here for a day en-routc
or Wilson. It is the first time we have
ever met Brother Wolfe and we hope
that it may not be the last no, not by a
jugful.
! Analysis or Water
Dr. Wood wishes ua to announce that
the Chemist of the Board ot Health is
prepared to make analysis of drinking
water for any one desiring it. The only
expense is the freight on the box to the
laboratory at Chapel Bill, which seldom
amounts to Si. Information on the
subject will be given promptly on request.
Deserved Promotions.
We are glad to learn, as we do from a
private letter received here yesterday, that
Capt. G. L. Dudley, of this city, who
has for years past been Chief Clerk in the
office of the Secretary of State, has been
appointed Pi Wat Secretary to the Got''
ernor, vice Mr. Overman resigned. The
position made vacant by Capt. Dudley in
Col. Saunder' c ffice has been tendered to
and accepted by our young friend, E. B.
Engelhard, eldest son of Uie lamented
Maj. Jos. A. Engelhard.
The water in the river continues very
low. It is now within four inches of the
lowest point.
Christmas is coming.
Christmas day was just three weeks off
from yesterday. Three weeks from to
day Santa Claus will have come and gone
and the little toys will te scattered here
and there, some broken while others are
thrown aside and discarded. What a pity
for the little folks, and some f larger
growth, too, that with so'much prepara
tlon, there should be such a short holiday
of fua and frolic.
Famous Oysters.
The Winberry oysters have obtained a
high reputation. They are carefully cul
tivated and it is wonderful to see the
perfection which they reach. Mr. Win-
berry sends these oysters here regularly
erery Tuesday and Friday during the sea
son, and they are sold by Mr. John Cat
roll, his agent here. Mr. Carroll present
ed us with a bucket-full to-day and we
must say that they are as delightful to
eat as they are to see and talk about.
Attempt at Robbery.
lesterday morning the bacK door o
Mr. W. P. Oldham's mill on Dock street
was found to be open, by the " clerk who
usually opens the store. Upon inyestiga
tion it was discovered that thieves had
been rummaging around and in attempt
ing to open an alarm cash drawer had
broken the keys, They were evidently
after money as nothing else seemed to be
disturbed, but if they had succeeded in
opening the drawer they would have been
most egregriously fooled as Mr. Oldham
avers there was none in it. The thie
evidently secreted himself in the building
before it was closed for the night.:

The Mozart Saloon.
Ihe Mozirt Saloon, on Front street
continues to maintain its position as one
of the naost popular resorts in the city
The bar is supplied with none but the
best and the beer sold there is famous all
over this section of country. Fresh oysters
are reeeived every day and they are served
up in any manner called for. The bil
lard saloon has recently been overhauled
and .the tables thoroughly renovated
and the reading room is supplied with
the latest periodicals and newspapers
The Mozart is run on the basis of a sin
cere uesire co give satisiaction to every
one oi its patrons and thi is one of the
secrets of its success.
The Midgets.
Well, we have seen them, what there
is tf them to be seen, and they are the
tiniest specimens of animated humauity
imaginable. They are indeed wonders in
nature. They are perfectly formed,
bright, pleasant and intelligent looking
little fellows who must be seen t j be ap
preciated. In ways and manners they
pesonate the well-bred young gentlemen
of the day, while their voices rcmiin in
fantile. To-morrow (Saturday) forenoon, from
10 to 12 o'clock, they will give a special
matinee for the benefit of the school's
children of the city. The regular after
noon and evening exhibitions will be
given as usual from 2 until 4, and from 7
until 9 o'clock. They are . the biggest
wonders and the smallest persons that
ever came to Wilmington, and thir equals
probably do not exist on the face of the
earth.
One Experience from Many.
"I had been sick and miserable so
long and had caused ray husband so
much trouble and expense, no one seem
ed to know wb at ailed me.thatl was com
pletely disheartened and discouraged. In
this frame of mind I got a bottle of Hop
Bitters and used them unknown to my
family. I soon began to improve and
gained so fast that my husband and fam ily
thought it strange and unnatural,
but when I told them what had helped
me, they said 'Hurrah for Hop Bitters '
long may they prosper, for they have
made mother well and us happy'." The

I New York, April 11, 1616. j
Mb. Alfred Sfeeb. Dear Sir; The
visit which I made last year to your
Vinevardii wine-cresses ard vaults at
Passaic, N.iiJ. ' satisfied me thoroughly
that the wtfbes manufactured by you are
pure and unadulterated, aud the very
best that can be offered to the public lor
medicinal uses.
Acting nnon mv favorable lmprefsiocs
at the time, I have since recommended the
Port Wine more particularly ia my
practice, and am satisfied, with marked
benefit, to my patients.
There can be no better proof to the
doubting mind, as to the Wine being
made oi the finest Oporto ilrape, than a
visit to the acres of land covered with the
vine bearing the luxuriant fruit. Wishing
yousuccers in your praiseworthy enter
prise,
remain rrpectfally yours,
