GENERAL INTEREST.

oEN EhAL IN IEhESIs
NEW CASTLE, Sep. 22nd.
In making the necessary .xcavating for
the foundation of the new hall, an old
well was found in the corner adjoining
tue properly OF d. Boulden. The old
walls we've taken out to the bottom a
depth of 20 ieet, and tie we'll filled with
stones and cement.
Duffy and Baymore, bri, klayeIs, Of
this city, have taken the contract for the
laying Of the bricks on the hall. They
are well Known in this community, and
much pleasure is experienced by our cit
izens at their receiving the work.
The Mayor gave a "levee" at his Office
Saturday evening lasting about five min
utes to adjust a slight II atrimonal diff
Guilty. "No cause OF action" was the re-
turn.
Saturday evening as tie old town
clock struck 6, we made start for the
purpose Of taking in the sights, fl st along
So til sire to the depot, where not less
than one hundred persons were waiting
for the trains. Waiting soon became
tiresOme, and we struck out for Dobbihs-
vile, along Seventh street, the most di-
rect route. After passing the umbrella
factory, men, women and children, were
seen hurlying along tOwa' DIS town, look
ing for the best and cheapest place to in
vest their we' ks earnings. At Dobbins-
vile we found that but few other men,
.onen and children were left. Te our
inquiries as to the reason, there was no
fifst-cass store in this section. We were
informed that our merchants in the city
proper, all sent their deli. cry wagons out
every day, and took their orders, and fur
nisl ed all kinds Of goods and provisions,
as cheap and of good quality, as though
they went themselves to tn ir stores, and
that the competitor kept them always on
the alert, to do their best to please their
customers. Returnir & to Shaw town, we
found that secton..in good order; at Cal
ahans All eager crowd were being wait
ed upon. This store is certainly great
advantage to those living in the section.
Heretofore when dry goods, trimmings
aid MOTORS, were required, they were
compelled to go down near the Court
House, distance of q mile. understand
that millinery department will shortly
be add to this establishment, then
Shawtown will be entirely independent,
except for claw" which commodity Is
only di.psnsed in the City proper.
On "Bull Hip the residents were
VI wing the street grades and wondering
why they ever thought of having a city
char ter. This is a failing on the part of

city proper, tlat is, in around and about
the Court House, the streets we're filed
with promenailers aud but one arrest

When all was peace. as the night ad
vanced a crowd of young men from the
country, made tracks for home and on
reaching the cause Wny, their yelling ant
swearing, was such as to be heard as
far away as the depot. They are known
and win at no distant day grace the
Mayors court by their presence. To-
wards mid night, a young man who was
injured by fall at the Delaware Iron
Works, some time ags as then noticed
IN the GAzETTE, fell upon the street, and
WAS taken with spasms aud fits, lasting
.ior at least half an hour. A carriage was
procured and he was taken to his home
In Shawtown. During the night little
hopes we're entertained for his recovery
Yesterday morning, he was better but
still very weak.
Yesterday was day of unusual quiet

were threatening storm. About 8 p. m
