Beaten with . Broomstic ck. l..

A quiet, sedate looking young man
entered the Office of Esquire Brady,
about noon, to-day, and being on the
search for stern and even-handed justice
related the following tale of woe:
Last evening as he was walking the
streets Of South Wilmington, proceed
ing towards his home, he was accostcd
by female friend, a married lady, who
invited him to step into her hoase. This
he did, with ut the slightest suspicion
# what was to follow, hut as soon as he
was seated the lady tartly stated she had
been informed that he had circulated a
report to the effect that gentleman had
called upon her, recently, and had been
broomsticked out of the house. He re-
PEELED the accusation indls naLtly, but
the lady would not believe the denial
and going out into the kitchen,
returned with broom, which she pro-
rceeded to Jay vigorously over his head
and shoulders, at the same time ordering
him to leave the house. He stood not
upon the order OF his going, but went
at once, and his mission at the 'SQuire's
Office was O learn il he could have the
woman arrested for assault and battery.
The Squire informed him that he could,
whereupon q warrant for the woman's
arrest was duly issued, and the case will
come up for trial before Esquire Brady
some time in the near future.

Mr.. Archbold Given, the contractor
for the erection Of the new Court House,
in this city, is now busily engaged In
preparing the contracts for the parties TO
whom he will sub-let the different p0r-
tions Of the work.
The sub-contract fr doing all the
stone work Of the building, rough and
fancy, has been awarded by Mr.. Given
to Mr.. Frederick G amlish, an experirn-
ced stone mason, of Philadelphia Mr..
Gramlish vas in this city yesterday, and
examined some of the rock quarried
along the Brandywine, as he intends to
use the Brandywine stone If 1t prov s
suitable. He found at one place an ex-
cellent vein of rock, close to the ground,
and possessing clear surface Of alb ut
twenty-flur feet.
Mr.. Gramlich has just completed the
erection OF large school house on North
Broad street Philadelphia. He furnish
ed the figures for the stone work that
went into Mr.. Given's general bid, and
thus re. eived the contracts for this part Of
the work.
