new CASTLE. Aug. IA.
An excursion composed of the joint Sunday
Schools from Delaware City and New CASTLE will
visit Pennsgrote! to-day. The Major ReyboId
will take the respective schools on board at the
shove named places 1t is expected that the Ex-
cursion will be en- unusually large one, and much
pleasure ia anticipated by all our young people.
Unusual activity was displayed around the
"crib" to-day Some four or i've tugs puned
and bowed at 9 terrible rate, but to all appear
ancee, failed to move it from its present posi-
ton, and it is highly probable that this will be
the last attempt at it's removal by these means
We hope to arise some bright morning and hnd
the confounded thing In It's legitimate position,
or else at the bottom Of the deepest part OF the
river.
ago between certain officers Of the revenue cut
ter Hamilton and some citizens OF the town,
seems not to have been fairly represented be-
fore the community. The history of the affair
is simply this:
On the evening in question, the TWO omcers
we're having what, in common parisnce. is light
" termed q +" high time !" in fact they we're .
little Ubjeh.r and naturally somewhat bolster
GUS and In their rather angular course along the
street, one of the two accidentally knocked bic
companion In the gutter, whereat bystander
rather unwisely rebnked the oficer, telling h inn
that he should be ashamed Of himself do., &c.
Thinking himself insulted at this, the offender
remarked TO the one who had addressed him
that it was none Of his d-n business, =" and af-
ter few more words of like import, upon both
sides, the two clinched the would-be reproyer
| coming up. (or rather under) socond-best. The
officer did not however. as was reported, strike,
| or attempt to strike, his vanquished adversary,
who was crying enough" At this point. clti-
zen No made his appearance and proceeded to
| ''go for" the victor. In the first round, this
| new ally was put hors de coTsodt for the mo.
ment, but quickly recovering himself, no and
| his numerous friends compelled the cutter men
| to beat hasty retreat.
Yesterday morning. the Lieutenant OF the
i Hamilton appeared before Esq. Publ and OBJ
/ tanned the issue of q warrant for the arrest OF
| Chas Shearer. Of New CASTLE, with whom he had
| the fracas. Mr.. Shearer, In the meantime had
gone before Esq. vandever. hof New Castle, and
| sned ont writ for the arrest of the Lieutenant
| and while the latter was dreaming Of the securi-
i ty with which he thought himself invested, Con
| stable Ward served the process and brought him
| before the Magistrate. Esq. Vandever counseled
| the Lioutenant to settle the case there, but nc
declined and the Squire held him IN SlOO foi
Court.
The Lieutenant then went to Wilmington and
pressed his suit here before ESQ. Publ, who held
| Shearer in $500 for Court. Mr.. Shearer think
ing Justice had not been done him, employet
counsel, and could hsye taken the matter e
Court had not the Lieutenant compromised tn
case by paying ell the costs, amounting to owe
fifty dollars. The money was paid, this, morning
and the matter ends here
| ON Saturday night ton and half of ice wa
sent aboaId the Hamilton, which amount ,rumo
says, was required to cool on the participants 4
the nights revelry.
