New Castle Letter.
NEW CASTLE, Jan. %, 1873

NEW CASILE, Jan. 20, 1910.
A crowd of unruly boys are in the habit
of congregating on the by-streets, and
making night hideous, by their uncalled-
for halloing, The police would do well
to give the matter their attention.
Even at this early date candidates for
the sheriffalty and coronership, are
looming up by the legion, and the
amount of affability and politeness dis
played by each of them, would lead a
stranger ito suppose that etiquette was
one of the most common studies in our
schools.
The closing up of the woollen mills,
and the discharging of over 200 en-
ployees of the Delaware Iron Company,
is seriously felt in this community.
"Bautiful snow" was .joyfully rung out
by those whose duty compelled them to
be about at an early hour. We did not
see it, and now OF others in the same

Old Temperance Hall.
SOLD AT PUBLIC sALE-ITs HISTORY
AND USES.

SOLD AT PUBLIC sALE--ITs HISTORY
AND USES.
The well known old Temperance Hall,
on Fourth street between Market and
King, more recently known as s'Naff'e
building" was sold at public sale, yes
terday, to Samuel Coyle, for $4,000.
THIS old building is one of the land
marks OF the city, and was owned and
occupied by the temperance societies OF
the CITY before 1t was possessed of its
present proportions. The part Of the
building fronting on Fourth street was
erected in 1884, especially for the con-
venience of the DELAWARE GAZETTE
and the Masonic fraternity. The third
story was used as the GAZETTE publica-
tion office, and the fourth story was used
by the Masons as their lodge rooms.
The Odd Fellows then met in the second
story Of the old hall, the basement OF
which was used for public temperance
meetings.
The work Of improving the property
was done by the Messrs. Dixon, and the
architect was Thomas II. Dixon, of Bal
tlmore, who is now famous III his pro,
fessi0n, Grace church OF this city being
one OF his most celebrated efforts. In
preparing the Temperance Hall improve
ment he arranged the third floor especi.
ally for the requirements of the printing
business. This improvement proved
quite lucrative investment for the own
ers of the hall.
In 1852, shortly before the GAZETTE
removed to its present location, Mr.. VIM
N. Naf, who was one Of the stockhold.
ers of the hall campany, purchased the
entire building for about $4,000. From
the 25th of March, 1853, tie time of the
GAZETTE removal, Mr.. Naff occupied
the entire premises, having ordered ou,
all the business establishments that were
located IN the building. He remained
there until his death, conducting the sec
oDd-hand business, and by bis great ac
cumulati0n Of old and rare articles, gain
ed for the place the soubriquet of "The
Old Curiosity Shop" Since his death IL
has been used as an auction room by
Messrs. Drake g. Coyle.

DR.. Hollands Misfortune.

Before he went into the country for
the summer DIR. J. G. Holland had his
elegant house on Park avenue thor
Oughly decorated from top to bottom.
He and his wife and daughters put
their heads together to devise some
thing unique, and they spared no
money to fit up the already handsome
house in the latest style of decoration.
The walls were papered with the finest
Morris papers, and the ceilings were
painted in artistic style, while the wood
work was made rich and harmonious
with, appropriate colors. Workmen
were IN the house up to within a short
time of the family's return, but few
weeks ago everything was pronounced
in perfect order. and admiring friends
lavished unstinted praise upon the
taste that had been displayed. All of
this only makes the sequel harder to
bear. One unhappy night last week
the water pipes burst and flooded the
house. The delicate paper was soak
ed from the walls, the painted ceilings
dropped off in great water-blisters, and
had to have great holes punched
through them to let in the drying air;
the woodwork swelled to unnatural
proportions. and cracked asunder.
Again the artisans have taken posses
sion of the house, the damage to which
$4,000 will not cover.-N. Y. letter to the

He was burned internally, which caused
his death so suddenly. His limbs up to
his knees and elbows were so badly
burned that the blood had ceased to
circulate in them, and they were cold
and dead long before the patient ceased
to breathe. His father, who stood by

Branded Salmon.

Following is a copy Of a letter receiv-
ed from the proprietor Of salmon
cannery at Coliinsville last week:
"There were landed on the wharf to-
day October 3D. two salmon which ex-
cited no little curiosity. One weighed
about twelve pounds and measured
two feet seven inches, and had on his
side stencil brand E. b. The other
measured two feet and would weigh
about eight pounds, and had stencil
brand IS. B." There has been big
run Of fish since the first Of August,
but it has now ceased almost entirely"
The singular part of this matter is, that
no one here has been found who knows
of any marked fish having been put IN
the river. If any one knows the his
tory Of these marked fish he will confer
favor and settle disputed and inter
esting question in regard to the salmon.
It has been held by some authorities
that all the adult salmon die soon after
returning to the sea from spawning.
Others, and probably the majority, deny
this, and to settle the question Living
ston Stone this year attached metal
tags to the adipose fin of some fish
taken at the United States fishery On
the McCloud, and then turned the fish
loose. This test is founded on the sup
position, which applied to the fish is in
the main correct, that the salmon al
ways returns to It's birthplace to spawn.
Recent experiments have proved that
while this is the general habit of the
fish, it is not invariable, for twice during
the past twenty-five years the hump
backed salmon of Fraser river have
made their appearance In the Sacra-
mentO, and this year the Columbia river
salmon were taken at the United States
fishery on the McCloud. In the absence
Of any knowledge Of the fish having
been marked here, it is supposed that
they were branded along the Columbia
or northern coast, and have strayed
from their native waters. In this light
the history of these fish is an interest
ing inquiry, and it is desirable that if
any one knows aught of their origin he
should make it public for the settle.

from 7 in the morning until between 5
and 6 in the afternoon. The water sup
ply was good, and furnished by artesian
wells. No lives were lost, and no one
seriously Injured. Tonight the steam
engines are playing on the ruins. In

scarcely less destructive than that of
to-day, The fire is believed to be OF in
cendiary origin.
