THE Levy Court Of this county, on Tuesday,
bought at Sheriff sale the property, in Dover,
known as the Burnt-hOtel corner, for s., 400. .43,
that being the amount of the mortgage held by
G.. &. Logan, with interest and costs. The
court previously purchased at private sale
adjoining lots of +. B. Merit and G. s. Wat
son for $4,000, making the whole amount of
the purchase So 490.43. The county now has
choice location, and such land as is not
needed for court house purposes can be dis
posed of afterwards to private purchasers.
| The question now under consideration is, shall
| the county put up large and credltable build
| ing, that shall be of use in years to come, or
one only calculated to satisfy present needs.
Public opinion, so far as we can learn, is
settling in favor of large, substantial struc-
ture, with enough architectural establishment
to relieve it Of plainness, containing rooms on
the first floor for the offices of Plothonotary
Clerk of Orphans Court and Court oI
Chancery, Register of Wills, Recorder o
Deeds, Sheriff, Treasurer, and Clerk of the
Peace and Levy Court. If this should be
determined on, the building now used fsl
county Offices might be sold, or, if it could mo-
be sold to advantage, rented out. As sort o
legal sanctuary every office in it would yielC
seven per cent. on the original cost of th'
: Duilding-the rooms being large and the struc
ture fre-proOf, would afford Offices such a

{ Mr.. HARRINGToN AND MARSHAL DUNN
2 We had intended to give the correspondence
between Mr.. Harrington and Marshal Dunn
$ but the long delayed reply of the Marshal t.
+ Mr.. H. second letter is so full of bitterness.
D and is such desperate effort to poison privat
a character that we deem it inexpedient to pub
: lish it. 1t will be better for the Marshal an,
his cause for it to receive as limited crcula
ton as possible.
e In Mr.. Harrington's second letter, in add
O ton to his charge against the Marshal of pack
+ ing iuries, he charges, and supports his char
ges by afidavits of responsible parties, Is
J. that the Marshal endeavored to obtain the Gel
e tifcation and payment of false and frauduler
r claim against the government, by Offering fv
|. dollars to Mr.. Frank Taylor to sign voucht
# in the case of one Hanson; I'd, that at the ele
), ton of 1870, he brought repeate1s into til
d State and 81, that at the nomination eectio
: for Republican candidate for mayor in 1877
e he stuffed the ballot box in the Sd ward
If Wilmington, and was expelled from the r
j publican Executive Committee therefor.
At To all of these the Marshal only makes
,e denyal, without substantiating the same, al
then goes on to impeach the character of NJ
H. and those whose afidavts he publishe
y 1t is quite evident, from the Marshars lette
!" which was not published till yesterday, that
is smarting under a severe lash.

specie payments and Mr.. Ferry offered reso
luton instructing the same Committee to re

ALL ABOUT DESERTED VILLAGE IN

The mills are now idle, and Goldsmith 9 deser-

Whereupon the Commercial rose to cx-

very dilapidated condition for many years, and
the Methodist church, the only one there, was
abandoned more than ten years ago. The town

The WAYS OF Writers.

James T. Fields, in his new lecture on
"Fiction and its Eminent Authors" has
the following concerning the habits Of
novel writers:
Hawthorne waited for moods, and
mounted his tower stairs for composition
only when the fit was on him. Dnsky
professions constantly moved about him
as he walked his piny hilltop, but his
characters rarely spoke 10 him until he
had locked his study door and shut out all
ingress from the world oil living beings
Anthony Trollope, whose novels Hsw-
thorne greatly delighted In, writes every
