NEW CASTLE LETTER.

NEW CASTLE, Sept 2, 1873.
A heated pave passed over this city
| Saturday and yesterday, the air was sui
try and oppressive.
To-day force of 8 bricklayers begin
work on the Baptist Church.
Wednesday the Amphion Cornet Band
will give an excursion to Pennsgrove.
The schools open this morning. 1t is
hoped tlat there will be accommodations
for all the children who may apply.
City Council meets tomorrow even
ing.
Saturday evening, meeting of the
Democratic Association of this Hundred
was held in the Court House, under a call
from the Chairman, as ordered by the
Executive Committee Mr.. j. II. Rodney
on the part of the Committee, explained
that they had labored under the impress
sion that the candidates were named by a
meeting, but on examining the rules 1t
seems that 1t was done by ballot in a
manner similar to the nomination of
Sheriff and Coroner, yet he thought it
would not be amiss for this meeting to
name candidates for the various posi-
tions but would leave that matter to the
judgment of those assembled
Geo. Gray, Esq, said he had been of
the opinion that it was the custom to
nominate at public meeting but on con-
sderation he found that the new rules
had changed it to an election by ballot.
In rather lengthy discourse he argued
against the new rules.
The main point was that there was
no more risk of corruption, or of ring in
tluence when this duty of naming candi-
dates was done in nublic meeting than
when done by an election.
At the close of his remarks Mr.. j. H.
Rodney, Esq, again took the floor and
remarked that he agreed with Mr.. Gray
in the main but that as it had been said
and with some truth that the making of
a ticket at the last party election dele
gates to the State Convention) had been
done by few without tho knowledge of
the party at large and that by having it
done in public manner, then this COM
plant which had come year making a
rupture would be done away with.
At this point number of questions
were put to the chairman as to the reason
why ii this meeting had no right to name
candidates it had been called. 1t was
argued that the gentlemen whe held the
election for Sheriff and Coroner should
hold the coming nomination election on
Saturday next between ~ m. and 7 D. m,
for member of Legislature, two road
commissioners assessor, and inspectors.
The Triton cotton mills suspended op-
erations again to continue for few
dayS.

A sharp Trick.

EDITOR GAZETTE: In conversation on
Saturday last with one of the most prom
trent workers for the nomination of Mr..
Murphy at the National Labor Party
meeting on Wednesday evening, and
who is now doing his best TO get Demo
Gratis to vote for him, said that he him
self should vote for Mr.. Gallagher. as he
had already promised to do so. Now |
believe am speaking the truth when l
say that two-thirds of those who were in
strumental in nominating Murphy will
do the same thing on Tuesday next. 1t
was plain to every one who was present
at the meeting referred to that the nomi-
nation was made in the interest of Gal
lagher, as it was thought that by putting
up Mr.. Murphy, who was formerly
Democrat, he would draw many Demo
cratic votes from Mr.. Almond. l cannot
believe that any one is simple enough to
be caught in this trap, and sincerely hope
thatno former Democrat will aid in the
election of Gallagher by voting for Muir
ply. Although meant for sharp politl-
cal trick, it is altogether too thin, and no
one will be deceived thereby.

A LARGE BLACK SNAKE.

On Saturday afternoon, as Walter
Jones and Frank Hyland, two boys of
this city, were going through Whites
Woods, near New Castle, they came
across a large black snake, which chased
them vigorously. They ran as fast as
they could, but the snake gained on them
so rapidly, that they had to turn around
and defend themselves, both, fortunately,
having good, stout clubs in their hands
just as the snake raised itself to make a
spring, Jones struck it vigorous blow
with his club, and when it fell Hyland
placed his foot upon the reptiles neck,
when the boys together soon despatched
it. They then tied string around its
neck and brought it in triumph to this
city. The snake measured five feet six
inches in length, and was one of the
largest ever killed in this State.
