From Our Regular Correspondent.
New CASTLE, Sept. 2e.
The action of the Board of Education
in proposing to open another primary
school meets with the appreciation Of
our entire citizens. This is as it should
be for but few of the children of the
working class ever pass above the
primary departm eht for no sooner are
they able to lend a helping hand to in
crease the family revenue, than they go
to work in one of the mills, and further
educational advantages are seldom or
ever afforded them.
Building Operations are being pushed
forward to such an extent that strangers
say New Castle knows no bad times
We understand that couple of enter
prising gentleman will open lumber

visitor grand DISPLAY of sweet potatoes
brought here by Jersey truckers, and
sold at very low rates.
The market this morning had an aver
age attendance both of buyers and sell
lers. In making the circuit of the
market house we found nine persons Of
fering produce for sale this is not as it
should be. The clerk of tine market was
not to be seen and this fact must be taken
for the reason we fail to give the amount
of revenue realized for the past year.

decided to remove number of the old
wooden structures, and replace them by
iron ones. This edict has
been very fortunate for the city as all the
spans are put together here, and in order
to push the work forward a large num-
ber of mechanics have been employed,
and work in the shops is very brisk. The
work of replacing the old wooden bridge
over Silver Run, about one and a half
miles below Newark, Is being rapidly
pushed forward. The bridge will be of
the latest improvement, and will have a
clear span of 30 feet. Workmen are also
engaged in erecting one of the same
style over Hartford Run, just this side of
Baltimore. This one has span of thirty
feet.
They are also engaged at the shops in
this city, in framing two new wooden
spans for Gray's Ferry bridge, one of
which is 12 feet, and the other 123 feet.
The company have also received the
contract for putting in a new trestle
work, 180 feet long, and IL feet high for
the consumers Mutual Gas Company, of
Baltimore. The framing work will be
dene in this city.
The work is under the supervision OF

The defeat of Mr.: Saville is regarded

ASTRONOMY.

The scientific world is much interested
by the recent discovery OF satellites to
the planet Mars. But why they have
overlooked the record made by Dean
Swift, more than century ago, of this
discovery by the astronomers of Laputa
is not accounted for. For their benefit
and that of our readers, we copy from
his account -
"They have likewise discovered two
lesser stars, or. satellites, which revolve
about Mars, whereof the innermost is
distant from the centre of the primary
planet exactly three of his diameters
and the outermost five. The former re-
wolves in the space of ten hours, the lat~
ter in twenty zone and half, SO thatsthe
squares of their periodical times are
in very near the same proportion with the
cubes of their distance, from the centre
of Mars, which evidently shows them tc
be governed by the same law of gravita-
tion that influences the other heavenly
bodies.
