New CASTLE, March 13.
A special session Of the Orphans Court
was held on Saturday. The only business
transacted was the appointment Of Jona-
than X. Williams as guardian Of Mary W.
Cochran.
Sheriff Lambson, sold on Saturday, the
following real estate in your city:-Brick
house and lot, corner of Twelfth and French
streets, the property of Robert Bromnall,
to Joshua Msirs, for $4,000; property of W.
H. Schoen, Fourth near Adams, to Aaron
Conrad, for $4,000, also at Eighth near
King, to II. F. Dure, for 200.
J. D. Cannon, Esq, who is well known
in our city as boat builder here for many
years, is now building, at his boat house, on
Water Street, cunning skif, for the Cen
tennial. 1t is to be built after the fashion
known as "poop," which we believe is .
peculiar construction to New Castle. This
being the only place in the country, ex-
cept in one or two instances in your own
city. There are at the present time, IN
good condition and in service, two Schoon-
ers, the Cooch and Kupwood, and two
sloops, the Emma and E. "A. Grey, which
were built here after smaller model, near
ly thirty years ago, Mr.. Cannon, having
been one Of the ship carpenters, who were
employed in the construction of them.
The skiff which Mr.. Cannon is now build
ing, is 151]1 feet in length and feet beam,
is built of cedar, and In the entire frame
work there are but three knots of Ordina-
rily small diameter. The hoops and straps
which serve in place of the large and bulky
knees, with which most outfits of this kind
are built. The boat is to have walnut
thwart, and the forccastle and stern sheets,
are to be of red and yellow cedar. The
boat will not be painted. but oil will be
used in it's place, as it gives better finish
and serves better purpose altogether.
Mr.. Cannon builds these skiffs at q some.
what advanced rate, but their durability
and lightness render them of much greater
value to sportsmen than boats made after
any other pattern.
