for the gentleman for whom he had eyinced so much

what his young Irish friend intended TO do in this
county? He was told that it was his intention as

the Irish gentleman received polite note from Gen

THE ELECTION.

The election on Tuesday last, was the smallest
that has occurred in this county we believe for
twenty years Less than 700 votes were given in
this hundred, which ought to poll more than 1000.
Chrlstiana hundred however maintained its char
acter, as the strong hold of the democracy of New
castle county, by firm and steady support of the
Red Lion ticket; it gave majorily OF 2l9 for
Doctor Arnold Naudain, and an average majority of
$50 for the democratic Legislative ticket We have
long ceased to wonder at any thing from the federal
hundfed OF Newcastle; but cannot refrain from an
expression OF modification at the result of the poll
in Mill Creek; a hundred that has heretofore Civ
en- handsome majority to the democratic cause.
How their majority should dwindle from 90 or 100
down 10 g we leave il 10 the initiated TO explain.
The democratic ticket elected in this county is
favorable to the election OF General Jackson as Pre-
sdent and John c. Calhoun as Vice President of
the United States. Louis M'Lane, ESQ has been
elec,edt to Congress by majority Of upwards of 200
votes; 400 less than were given two years ago.

ANECDOTE OF GENERAL LA FAYETTE,
An anecdote, Illustrative OF the benevolence OF
General Ia FAYETTE, and OF his attachment to lib

inav to suppress its publication. Early in the
year 1880 o young Irshman was compelled TO leave
Ireland in consequence oil his patriotic zeal IN favor
OF the freedom and independence OF his county /;
and he hed to Patis, where he met with General LA
FAyETTE. AT that time, invasion OF Ireland
fiom France was the topic of conversation In the
military and political circles OF the French capital.
General LA FAYETrE made many inquiries OF the
Young Irishman concerning the state of | Gland. and
they finally separated for The time. The patriotic
exile Of Erin subsequently returned to his country,

IRISH house of commons for his ardour 10 the cause
of oppressed Ireland atl ultimately felt himself com

CHARACTER OF A BACHELOR.

A bachelor is sort of whimsical be
ing which nature never intended 10 Gre

and ends of what materials were left,
after the great work was over. Tn
luckily, for hirn the finer passions are
all mixed Up IN the composition ofthose
creatures intehded for social enjoyment.
What rcmairis for the bachelor, is hard
,ly enough TO rub round the cru>ty
mould into which he is thrown. To
avoid waste, some reasoning, that he
may not be quite insipid, must be sub
sttuted in the stead OF more valuable
ingredients: so in Dame Natures los

CROYDEN.

A short time since, some moralmend
ing Magistrates, not so miles from hence.
determined on reforming this town and
meeting in consequence took place,
when as first step,it was determined
to remove The facilities and accommoda
tons afforded certain species of crime
very generally in the neighborhood, by
hunting out of the town a venerable
lady, who, in despite of the Society for
the Suppression of Vice, had by its en-.
couragenent accumulated a genteel
competency. A variety of methods were
suggested to remove the nuisance: one
thought entreaty might best answer !:
another was for persuasion; a third,
force; at length a reverend divine was
called on for his opinion; and he, con.
cious OF the integrity and purity of his
life, at once pronounced "a burning
shame" as the only etfectual preventive.
This was, indeed, d hard measure and
some of the worthless looked vastly odd
on the occasion; but as none had the
courage, for characters sake, to oppose
the parsons proposition, it was carried
mem con. A board bearing in legibe
characters, "Beware of a bad house,
was soon prepared, and, with lantern.
attached to the door Of the fair duenna's
mansion. 1t did not long remain in the
situation; the following letter from the
frall mistress sooE had the desired eff.

moved from my house in one hour from

worships know on whom this would fall
heaviest. :,

The last sentence, reader, is enough
to explain the riddle of the vastly odd
looks at the meeting. The board was
soon taken down, & the matron carried
