THE CITY. Scarlet fever is slightly prevalent among the children in this neighborhood. At the Water Witch Fair, groceries are sold at one tables the same as at a grocery store. There were rumors of the failure of a merchant on water street yesterday, and also of a firm on the Brandywine, which were entirely false. A run, it was said, was made on the National Bank of Wilmington & Brandywine. It is needless to add that the talk was among outsiders, and the Bank knew nothing of it. A printer of this city the other evening got too much lager beer in him, and, in mistake wandered into a shoemaker's shop where he attempted to set up pegs for type.
