NEW CASTLE, Oct. 8.
That our manufacturing industrie
are In very prosperous condition wa
evident 10 any observer on Saturday
evening from the number of persons up
ON our streets and in the stores maxim,
purchases Of their weekly supplies.
L ade was brisk but showed some
what Of falling Off from the previous
week. This, we were informed, was iu
consequence Of the approach Of cold
weather necessitating the providing Of 9
larger quantity Of fuel, clothing, and
stronger boots. The same amount ol
money will be circulated but through
different channels.
Taking . stroll over Bull Hill we
found nothing worthy of noting other
than perfect tranquility. In the city
proper, little groups were to be seen
along the streets and there was nothing
transpiring TO attract attrntion.
This state of Affairs was such as to
lead us to believe that Shawtown
would prove "bonzana, ,"sO out .slovers'
lane" "Micawber"-like we made our
way, looking for something to turn
up" But here disappointment again
met us, the only stir emed to be among
those who were providing for the NOR
row at Callahan's. Near the depot a.
good sized group Of young men were
discussing the situation, and when we
inquired the cause of all this quietness,
a ShawtOwner announced with that
promptness so characteristic OF the
pIac "You see the boys aint no bank
clerks and them November winds are
raw and have no respect for q linen
dlister so we have got TO be on the look
out for something like a big Ulster.
They cost money and af er paying 81
for your board you don't have much out
Of $6a week; you see, Boss, we will
have to lay low for few weeks SO as TO
raise pile to cover one of them listers.
They are just the thing; they cover up
heap of clothing chat wouli not stand
much Of racket by themselves" This
explanation raised a laugh and contain
ed more truth than poetry.
One Of the party taking in our situa-
ton remarked that there was dance
down in Murraysville, so thitherward
we made tracks, thinking as we went of
the Shawtowner's idea of an Ulster.
The lively strains OF the violin render
lug some airs from "Pinafore" soon
gave notice that the dauce had begun.
The boys and girls were out in full force
and from appearance enjoyed themselves
to their hearts content.
Here we folded our note book and
Illuminating on the past slowly trudged
down the turnpike into the city, too
late to visit DObbinsville, where every
thing was in good order, or At least &C
reported the police.
The American steamship Indiana
passed up yesterday morning. A large
number Of heavily laden barks and ships
passed down during the day.
The foundation of the new hall re-
ceived the finishing touch Saturday and
to-day the brick work will be begun.
On next Saturday evening Aunt Polly
Bassett and her sengin Skewl Of young
men and lnaidsns will entertain ye folke
Of ye Ancient towne at ye Court Honse.
As Richey, the iker, was making his
Saturday evening delivery of bread to
the people of fDobbinsville, his horse be-
came frightened and ran up Seventh
street As far as Washington avenue,
where Mr.. Davis attempted to stop him.
The horse shied and making q leap di-
vested himself of the wagon, and fell in
to the di'ch, from which, after some
trouble, he was rescued. The wagon will
need the wheelwright to put it in rum
ming order.
The New Castle Inquirer reached its
seventh number on Saturday last. Its
make up and general appearance has
been wonderfully improved under the
ownership of Geo. Herman, and, though
small, 1t is nice and will, as George says,
grow with the city.
