Sold.-William II. Lambson has sold his fine
farm, situated in New Castle Hundred, about
two miles from this city, and containing about
2e0 acres, to his brother Moses, for S3I ,500.--
Mr. l.. purchased this farm few years ago, for
$4,000, TO it may by said that lhiA property
has not been effected be the decline in the price
of land. We doubt, however, whether another
man outside the family, could have been found
TO have paid so great price at the presen,
time. As our city extends, however, it must
increase in value, anf! in very few years the
price now paid may be considered extremely
low.

TIE MYSTERY soLvED-"KATE eToDDARD" ARREST
ED--dooDRICH's . EFFECTS FOUND IN HER TRUNK.
The Brooklyn police have arrested the woman
Kate Stoddard," who is supposed to have been
the guilty party in the mysterious Goodrich
murder, in that city, several months ago. She
was recognized by Mary Handley, who was act
ing as the agent of the police, from the photo
graphs Of her which they had captured, although
the picture was taken when she was heshy and
she is now almost a skeleton.
Having discovered her residence, the police
then went to the house, searched her trunks
and discovered the property Of Charles Good
rich. There were the rings, the seals the pocket
book and the money, which is no doubt the same
az he had in his possession at the time he was
murdered. The pistol with three chambers
empty, and which 1t is understood she used
to commit the murder. was also found in her
trunk. There were two trunks, besides other
articles which have been taken possession Of
by the police.
The real name Of the woman is supposed to
be Lizzie King, and Il is surmised that her
family live in Massachusetts,, and are highly re-
spectacle.
STATEMENT OF Kate sTcDDARD.
Kate Ste Idard has made the following state
ment of the murder to the police She had been
living with "Charlie, as she called the deceased,
and was greatly attached to him. he wanted to
cast her OF, but she loved him so much that she
that he would allow her to remain, but he was
firm and iD fact, brutal in his treatment of her,
and the Thursday before the Friday on which
the body was found was fixed for her to leave
him, he threatening her with all sorts of things
il she dared to trouble him further. Sne had
remained in the house in Degraw street all
the previous evening, and in the morning,
when Goodrich got up, she again besought
him not to cast her off. He was very angry,
and refused her request, or to hear her at all.
He then went into tire basement at the front
of the house and proceeded to light the heater,
which was located there. She loved the man
go much that she could not leave him, and
when she saw him determined to discard
her she worked herself up to murder him.
She had one of his revolvers in her pocket,
(not the one which the detective found lying
at the house beside the corpse,) and while
Goodrich was STOPPING down on one hand and
knee, in the act of lighting the heater, she
drew the pistol, and extending her hand to-
ward him shouted " Charlie !" He looked up
aud she shot him three times. These were the
fatal wounds which the post mortem oxamina-
tioD disclosed After she committed the murder
on Thursday morning she waited all that day
aud night in the house watchingIt Friday MORN
ing she had occasion to go to New York, and early
on that morning she washed the blood from the
face of the murdered man, with towel, which
she afterwards wrung out, aud which was also
found damp by the police. She fixed the corpse
as it was discovered, and when she had done this
she went over to New York.

additional attractions to that of last. and we com
mence thus early to prepare the public mind for
the delightful recreation which the "trip will af-
ford
In the first place the cars will be detained at
the top of Mt. Pisgah long enough to ascend to
the pavilion and obtain view from the sum
nit. And secondly the trip will be extended
two miles further to Glen Onoko. without any
additional charge over last year-S450. Ample
opportunity will he afforded the excursionists to
visit all places of interest and view all the seem
cry of tho locality. Leaving Wilmington at

r. NJ. At 245 they will reach Glen 0noko and
remain there nntil & 10, when they will start n
the return reaching Wilmington about IL o'clock
at night.
But We started ont to say something OF Glen
Onoko. TO this end we quote from the Tourist I:
'' Il is wild, rocky aud woody ravine or gorge,
extending about a mile, through which there
hJws stream of pure sparkling water. Along
its entire length there Is one continuous series
of charmiug cascades aud waterfalls, encased in
massive walls OF picturesque moss-covered
rocks, surrounded with the most luXuriant growth
of hemlOck" and other trees, revealing at every
step along it's fantastic paths scenes OF granduer
and beauty which cannot easily be described
" There arc three high fails. called respective
ly Chameleon. Onoko, and Cave The first
is so feet in height. the second nearly 100. and
the third nearly 35 The place ia also historic,
being first used by the IHdians, and subsequently
b. Gsn. Sullivan. after the Wyoming ma saCre.
There is also quite an extensive cave here, and
f,om Packers Point, 900 feet above tho river, a
panorama of exceeding beauty stretches out en-
bracing many objects of interest.
1t is none too soon to begin thinking about the
trip, Those who wish to go may leave their
