New CASTLE, DEL, Nov. %, 1876.
All sorts of people come to Court, but
one day this week we observed some
thing unusual, viz: an itenerant aero
bat, seedy-looking, but showing quite a
display of muscle. His work, as he
called it, was well done, and when he
passed his battered cap around it was
pretty well weighed with cash.
The peddler of mental arithemic OF
Lightning calculations makes the carly
part of the evening quite hideous in front
of the Tower Hall, as he carries away
the dollars he is not anxious about ner-
vous people.
We have more typhoid fever this year
than for long time. The breaking OF
the river banks and consequent deposit
of mud over the large marshes above
and below the settled portion of this
city caused much of it, but the City
Council, acting as a board of health, are
charged with some neglect in allowing
certain well-known malaria breeding
places to continue is a subject of COM
ment. That open ditch, and very Of
fensive one it Is, on the Il. Il. Co. pro-
perty, sheuld be attended to. A few
dollars expended is trunk and in sand
to fill it up will reufoue great nuisance
