NEW CASTLE BUDGET,

Sale of a Farm The To,cn Election Yes
terday- Unprofitable Of7ces-List of
| Jurors
| New CASTLE, April II, 1876.
The Sheriff sold, by auetion-Tbos. NJ.
Ogle, crier-the farm known as the Henry
farm, in Red Lion Hundred, to Esquire
James Ray, of Newark, Delaware, yester-
day, at o'clock P. M for $1,000. The
same farm was sold last Fall for sixty dol
lars more than it brought yesterday, to
aside by the Court, because of certain irreg-
ularities in the SheriE's advertisement.
The election for Mayor, Council, Treas
urer and Assessor took place yesterday, in
New Castle, but the result was not known
when this budget had to be mailed. There
were number of tickets in the field, but
the present Mayor is singular in not having
any opposition to him. The Treasurer, the
only officer, except the Mayor, who is a
candidate for reelection, has opposition;
but as the gentleman who is in nomination
against him, is upon several tickets for
Councilman, the present Treasurer will
probably be elected.
] There is little or no interest exhibited in
the election, and consequently no excite
ment. Neither politics nor personal feel
ings enter into the contest. It is sort Of
scrub-race-every man for himself There
is no money in any of the offices-work,
only-and little or no pay.
The City Council met Monday
night, but transacted little business Of pub
! lie interest. Their meeting last night
finished their course, and to-day their sue
cessors will be sworn into office.
