To the Chairman of Democratic Ex. Com.
of Wilmington:
Sib—I would respectfully submit to the

Agreeable to a call served by me to the dif

extending an invitation to the Democrats of

with us, together with citizens who can pro
cure horses.
I feel assured that by presenting
good appearance at the Inauguration of a

a beneficial effect, and to that end I would
respectfully suggest that Friday evening
next, October 18tb, be set apart for that
purpose, in order that due notice may be
given to the public.
a
Respectfully, &c.,
W. H. Buadt,
Chief Marshal.
John O'Byrne, Esq., of the County Exec
utive Committee, reported that at a meet
ing of that committee, held on Saturday
last, it was recommended that a series of
meetings be held In all the wards, and on
motion the recommendation was adopted.
On motion the following named gentle
men were appointed a committee on music:
Wm. Bareford, John G-. Glatts, and D.
Menton.
After the transaction of further business,
of minor importance,the meeting adjourned.
By order of the Committee jfce night of
parade has been changed fronM|(iday night
to to-morrow night.
The Bulkhead Shoals.
The Bulkhead Shoals, near New Castle,are
thus spoken of by the Philadelphia "Even
ing Bulletin:''
The bulkhead Shoals, In the Delaware
river, near New Castle, are loved by pilots,
sea captains, and river men generally,about
as much as a boy loves castor oil and mo
lasses. In fact, the Bulkhead Shoals are
shunned as much by mariners as thirty
second cousins coming to the Centennial are
by cross mothers-in law. But on the 15th
of next month the lights on Bulkhead
Shoals will be lighted for the first time, and
then mariners will have an easier time com
ing up or goingdown the river.
This fact was communtcated to day to a
"Bulletin" reporter In conversation with
Gen. Reynolds, lighthouse engineer. "That
lighthouse there," he said, pointing his fin
ger to a dot on the chart of the Delaware
river and bay, "is the Brandywine light; it
has stood there for twenty five years.
Then using his finger.iB place of a vessel
he showed how different crafts coming up
the river would steer to the starboard or
larboard as occasion would require to keep
clear of dangerous reefs, &c.
There are to be two sets of range lights
above and below New Castle, and when
these are used It will be easier to navigate
the river at night than during the day, be
cause the lights will give the pilot a surer
course. Range lights are so called because
one lighi Is placed a mile or so in the rear of
the another,shining one above the other, and
if these are kept In sight there will be little
danger of running onto shoals and other
bad places.
Some time in December a light will be
placed at Port Penn, and then the Delaware
will be one of the best lighted rivers In the
country.
While the new lighthouses are a great
convenience and positive advance, yet their
location promises to work Injury in one re
spect—the removal of the Reedy Island
light. Merchants, shipper, vessel owners
and others disapprove of the putting out of
this light, and It Is hoped that It will not be
done. It ought to be kept as a fog station
and It Is of much importance to the navi
gation of the river.

A Frightful Runaway.
[West Chester Local News,]
On Wednesday morning last, while Fran
cis A. Brown and brother, of Nottingham,
were engaged In handling corn fodder, the
front standard of the bay ladder suddenly
broke, throwing him and a few bundles of
fodder between the horses and wagon, which
frightened the horses and started them to
running at a fearful speed, dragging Mr. B.
upon the tongue in a perilous position, but
fortunately he escaped with a few slight In.
juries. The horses,. after running some
distauce, rushed through two pale fences,
scattering pales in confusion, and ran off
the end of a small bridge into the mill race,
where they came to a stand still. The vi
cious animals were immediately unhitched
from the wagon, and their driver released
from his unpleasant position. The horses,
most luckily, were not Injured much, but
their ardor was somewhat cooled by their
bath ^the
race.

The spontaneous bursts of Wit ■ displayed
by the young man of tbe "Republican," are
equal in many respects to Mark Twain's
best efforts, we would therefore advise him
to bathe hie head every morning with Ice
water; let the Bird Guards alone, stay In
t he house at nights, and wear gum shoes;
such talent as his should not be exposed to
be weather, for fear he might be removed
from among the Inhabitants of this wicked
world. •
