shooting Array at New Castle.

Early last evening, shooting affray occurred
on the road between the station and town, at
New Castle, which will probably result in the
loss OF life. Albert w. Butler, who formerly
kept the Stockton House, in that place, had been
to Wilmington, and returned on the evening
train. At the station house. or near there, he met
Captain Robinson, Of New Castle and an alter
cation ensued. The subject of the quarrel ap-
peared to be concerning woman, and the VIC
lcncc Of the difficulty rapidly increased, until
pistols were drawn and Butler shot Robinson in
the thigh. AT this moment another shot was
fired, either by Robinson OF third party, which
struck Butler In the neck and check, slightly
wounding him.
The alleged cause of the ARRAY is dispute con-
corning young lady, to whom, 1t is said, Butler
has been paying attention. @i~,
These are all the facts which we have been able
to ascertain concerning the affair, but there is
multitude of rumors about the cause, which we
do not venture to give without more positive in
formation. H. IPednesddy's Commercial

OUTSIDE View OF OUR DELAWARE PRIsoSs-

the following extract from his report

We assure our readers that the portion of the
report quoted in relation to our city prison does
not half depict its wretched condition, and beg
them to remember that this is being circulated
amongst philanthropists throughout the country,

On Tuesday,a man living in the neighborhood of
Claymont started to go to Marcus Hook, and took
with him his daughter, who was to go part way
and take some butter and eggs to the gentleman
whose place her father farmed. The girl did her
errand and started home alone, and as she was
crossing wheat field by path, near her home,
ut about two o'clock, in the afternoon, she was
seized by colored man, who either outraged or
attempted to outrage her person.
Her father arrived In the neighborhood shortly
afterwards, and hearing from the neighbors Of
the affair and that his daughter had been seen af
forwards suffering from the brutal treatment, and
from having been almost choked TO DEATH to pre-
vent her raising an alarm, he started Immediately
In pursuit of the villain, without waiting to see
his daughter to learn further particulars.
The girl is only about or 10 years of age.
Her father pursued tho man towards this city,
but lost all traces of him in the vicinity of Quar-
ryvllle.
He entered complaint, however, to the police,
last evening, and they are on the alert to capture
the man,
