During 1872, nearly two and iiaf millions of

we have only to SAY, in reply, that ut the time
the running Of the i" independent line" between
here and Philadelphia was proposed, the ca

The Recent Suicide.-The New Castle cor
respondent Of the Commercial advances the
theory that the man named Nichols, who was
recently found hanging in Rogers woods, was
murdered. lie says that the deceasedwas seen
in New Castle about week previous to the
discovery of his body, and that lie freely dis
played considerable money, including large
quantity OF gold coins, concealed in a belt
about his waist. He was then accompanied
by another man. This story is all very well,
but the correspondent should explain how a
man weighing apparently 250 pounds, could be
hung to a tree by another man or even two men.
The man assuredly came to his death by hang
ing as there were no other marks of violence
upon his person. A week or two ago, the saI Q
man, who was. found hanging in the woods,
lodged over night in the cells at the City Hall.
1t Is very strange that with such sums of money
as he displayed and spent for whiskey at New
Castle, the man should provide himself with no
better lodging place, than the delectabe quar-
tiers in which he spent the night. We think
the correspondents conclusions are rather far
fetched.
Greenrile.-The Messrs. Brinckle & Co. are
doing quite large business in the sale Of coal
lumber, phosphats, &cs, at the Greenville Sta
tiol, on the Wilmington and Reading Railroad.
They are polite and accommodating and man

The business Of the road at this station is sur
passed by that done at few if any other, with |
the exception OF Coatesville, on the entire line |
Last month there were forwarded by the Messrs. |

Library Association Of this city, made an en-

one of the excursionists narrowly escaped
