The Major Reybold.
This well-known and favorite Delaware
river boat has recently been thoroughly over
hauled, refurnished, painted and put in com
plete trim for the spring and summer trade
She has also been enlarged by considerable
addition to her length, adding greatly to hel
carrying capacity, as well as to her speed
She has resumed her place upon the route
under the command of Capt. W Eugene

ply, in woolen manufacturing at the Bohemis

States Mail Agent on the Pennsylvania and
Delaware Railroad, from Delaware City to
Pomeroy, Pa, was arrested on last Friday, and
taken to Philadelphia, on charge Of rob-
bing the mails. He was given hearing be-
fore the United States Commissioner, who
held him in ST., 500 bail for his appearance at

was committed to Moyamensing to await trial.

New Hotel at new Castle.
Ex Sheriff Herbert has go renovated and
fitted up the Jefferson House, lately purchased
BY him, as to make it essentially new hotel
II is said now to be one Of the best public
houses in the State. He is also putting mp
commodious brick stable in connection with
The hotel. The new hotel vii be under the
charge of Mr.. Geo. A. MillinRton, late OF the
Delaware House, Smyrna, whose reputation
as hotel-keeper is q guarantee of good
house at New Castle. This improvement to
the Jefferson" !" with those recently put upon
the Strickland" will make a removal Of the
county seat 10 WILMINGTON, on account Of
i" proper hotel accommodation, unnecessary.
Concert at Odessa. a5fr =
The new town hall, Of Odessa, being sufi-
ciently far advanced TO completion to permit
of its being used, the managers propose to
give grand instrumental and vocal concert
in it on Thursday and Friday evenings next,
the proceeds of which will be applied to the
building or furnishing fund. The acknowl-
edged reputation Of Odessa folks for doing
whatever they undertake in the way Of con-
certs, tableaux, chatades, festivals, &C., right,
is sufficient guarantee that next weeks
concert will be success. 1t will, doubtless,
be one of the finest musical entertainments
that the people of Odessa and Middle
town have had an opportunity of attending
for good while. Let's all be there.
A Appointment D OF Constables.
The Levy Court, at its session on Tuesday,
made the following appointment Of Con-
stables for this county: T..4afr.
Wilmington-W. e. Woodward, W. W.
Pritchett and William Hickman.
Christiana hundred-Samuel Vansant.
New .Castle--John Bartholomew, l. d.
7ols. a. -fs
White Clay Creek-John W. Whiteman,
TOhn Lemon.
Mill Creek ek-Edmund Hammond.
Red Lions. B. Scott, J. B. Howe.
Brandy ywine-Isaac N. Grubb, David ]
n ilson.

Blackbird-No appointment.
Personal. Haa asf
Seaman G. Pattiuson, formerly of this city,
but now Of Middletown, and who was mem
her of our police force up to January LIST last,
has been appointed special Constable BY the
Town Commissioners of Middletown, and is
IN applicant for appointment as County Con-
stable in St. Georges hundred.-Euery Euen-
ing.
It is well enough to tell things Of this
kind when they occur, but it won't do to get
TOO far ahead. Neither Mr.. Pattinson nor
any one else has been appointed special Con-
,table by own Town Commissioners. Prob
ably be might have been appointed, if it were
not for the fact that the Commissioners have
no authority to give said appointment to any
one but resident of St. Georges hundred,
for under the laws Of the State no one can
be appointed Constable who has not resided
in the hundred, for which be is appointed, at
least six months. That blocks the game SO
far as Mr.. Pa,tinson is concerned.
Large sale-Go0d Prices.
The fourth annual sale Of Messrs. Polk 4
Cochran, on Tueuday last, was attended by q

sive and sensible advertising. About forty
head Of horses were sold, ranging in prices
from $25 to $370; twenty pairs Of mules
we're also sold at prices running from 500 to
