The New CASTLE AIMS HOUsE.-There is
terrible sensation in the Wilmington papers,
lGSt now over the treatment of inmates of the
New Castle Aims House, which is sIncated naar
that city. 1t is charged that the sexes are not
properly separated in the colored peoples de-.
partment and in the inebriate department and
that improper intimacy is allowed to exist ::
that the Keepers are unnecessarily cruel towards
the lunatlcs that some dangerous lunatics are
discharged almost as soon as they are entered.
and that the institution is improperly construct,
ed and improperly governed. Some of the ac-
counts are over drawn, but many of the state.
