A nobleman, resident alta castle in Italy,
was about to celebrate his marriage feast
All the elements were propitious except the
ocean, which had been SO Loisterous as to de-
ny the very necessary appendage Of fish. On
the very morning of the feast, however. 4
poor fisherman made his appearance, will.
turbot so large, that 1t seemed to have been
created for the occasion. joy peryaded the
castle, and the fisherman was ushered With
his prize into the saloon, where the noble
man in the presence Of his visitors, requested
him to put what price he thought proper on
tie fish, and il should instantly be paid him.
One hundred lashes, said the fisherman, on
my bare back, is the price of my fish, and
will not bate one strand of whip cord on the
bargain. The nobleman and his guests were
not little astonished, but the fisherman was
resolute, and remonstrance was in vain. At
length the nobleman exclaimed, g Well, well,
the fellow is a humorist, and the fish we
must have but lay ON lightly, and let the
price be paid in our presence After fifty
llshes had been administered, Hold, hold >
exclaimed the fisherman, :" / have partnor
in this business, and it is fitting that lie
should receive his share.n "What, are there
two such mad-caps in the world?7 exclaimed
the nobleman, "name him, and he shall be
sent for instantly" "You need not go Ear
for him. said the fisherman, "you will find
him at your gate, in the shape of your OWN
porter, who would not let me in until prom
ised that he should have the half whatever
received for my turbot." ''Oh, oh, 2 said the
nobleman, "bring him up instantly, he shall
receive his stipulated moiety with the strict
est justice This ceremony being finished,
he discharged the porter, and amply reward
ed the fisherman.

A smashup ON w. & N. II. II

A smashup occurred Monday afternoon,
on the Wilmington & Northern Railroad
at Sager's Station. 1t appears that in the
afternoon Messrs. Hopes Bro. 81 Thom-
as of West Chester, were loading some
trees at that staulon for shipment. The
car was standing on the main track and
the signal turned to warn approaching
trains. But the paint on the signal had
become worn off and the engineer of the
down freight train No. 8, which hove in
sight about 2o'clock failed to see it and
the train came on with unchanged speed
and dashed intog the car on the track
knocking it into Entrikin's meadow and
making complete wreck of it. The
wheels of the freight car were sent down
the track and did not stop until they had
nearly reached the next station. The cow
catcher of the engine was torn off, the
milk platform knocked into "smither-
eens." and one of the station house stove
in by the crash. The engineer and fire.
men finding that the collision was inevi-
table reversed their engine and jumped
off. Mr.. 7. I. Smith, tobacconist of West
Chester had some goods on the train
which were considerably damaged. No
one was injured by the accident, but

The readers OF the GAZETTE will re-
member the murder of Patrick Collins,
at the saloon ofMrs. Mary Mccain, on
Front street near Washington, on Satur-
night August 10Th, and the finding of the
body of the murdered man lying in an

They will also remember the work of
the Coroner's jury, which was in session
several days, in order to, ascertain who
the murderers were.
The result of, their deliberation was
the commitment to New Castle Jail cf
Mrs. McCann, VIM. O'Donnell, and two
other men on the charge Of being the
guilty parties.
Within the past two days, lady sent
for one of the jurors and made a state
ment to him, in which she said that on
the night of the murder she saw Mrs.
McCann strike man ON the head two or
three times, with either bo tie or club.
II their is any dependence to be put
In the statement of the woman, it points
direct to Mrs. MeCann,as the murderess.
At the time OF holding the inquest the
lady was in delicate condition and
could not appear before the jury. Hel

when the seat Is reversed the moulding
on the arms presents the same shape as
when in the original position, This in
genlous device is an invention Of the pas
tors. One large ana several small stained
glass windows light the room. Adjoin-
ing thls room IL a room for the Infant
sunday School, which, by means of fold
ing doors, can be converted into two
class rooms.
The doors of the church are of hard
wood, handsomely grained. In fact the
painting is quite feature of the work,
being executed in the most complete
manner. II was done by Harry Boulden
and John Mccartney.
The walls are plastered with a sand
dry finish, with view to frescoing at
some future time. The work was done
by John Larkin.
In the cellar are two large Bartlett
heaters, one for the church and the other
for the Sunday School rooms and the
tower. They are so arranged that either
one can be applied to both rooms, or both
can be applied to one room in case of ex-
treme cold. They were furnished and
put in by Mr.. Lewis Ingram.
Around the church yard neat barbed
wire fence, with iron posts, has been
erected. The approaches are being put
In good condition and board walk will
be constructed along the lane leading to
| the railway.
One item of material value to the
church Is the handsome lamp chande-
liers, which are the gift of Mr.. John Mil
Ter, OF Rising Sun, leading member and
| liberal patron.
On the front wall of the church is a
brown stone tablet, marked "1847-
Mount Salem NJ. E. Church-l878," and
! over the door leading into the Sunday
School Is the marble tablet taken from
the old church, bearing the name and
date OF erection-"1847"
The corner stone of the new church
was laid on Saturday, June 22nd, 1873,
and the dedicatory services will be held
Sunday next, Nov. Sd.
The dimensions Of the church, on the
ground plan are as follows: main room,
65x45 feet; Sunday School room 30xS6
| feet; class room, 15x38 feet; tower, 16x16
feet.
A CHEAP CHURCH.
The new church is without doubt the
handsomest editice of the kind on the
Peninsula, and was built at a surprising
| ly low cosI. The best of material and
workmanship entered into its construct.
ion, and in its design convenience was
admirably combined with economy oi
spac'. 1t was desired by the congrega-
ton that the cost should not exceed
$4,000, and as contractors did not offel
to build 1t for this sum, the work was
done under the management of build
ing committee, at an actual cost of $10,-
400. The best part of the affair Is that
the work is almost entirely paid for, and
but very small sum will have to be
asked fo- at the dedicatory services. Fol
this desirable result, aud for the posses
sion of a handsome, durable church,
constructed in the most substantial and
at the same time most economical man
ner, the congregation are greatly, indebt
ed to their able pastor, Rev. G. f. Shep-
pard, who has given the work his un
ceasing care and attention, from
first to last.
