AnIrals a II ush amt.

Last evening as "Budd' Gnmoy,
colored, was going up stairs at his
Walnut street above Eighth,
he saw a figure of white man in his
wife's bed chamber. He didn't object to
his wife receiving white gentlemen as
visitors as custom AID propriety war
ranted but he objected most seriously
to them disturbing the sanctity OF his
household by wandering around with
his wife through his bed chamber. IL
went for that man and that white ipdi-
vidual went out Of the window with the
air of man deeply intent on business.
Gumby went down stairs pell NELL and
rushed into the yard. The white man
in jumping from the window lit upon
the edge of fence and as he rolled
over the ground Budd came up witha log
of wood a chair or some similar weapon
and dealt the man blow. The white
man jumped to his feet but as he got
we'll under way for the back fence
another well directed whack from Gum
by laid him out. Before the blow
could be repeated the man recovered
and mounting the back fence sped
along in the direction Of Walnut street
along which he was rapidly pursued by
the irate Gumby. Hearing the disturb
ance Officer Kane put in an appearance
and arrested the white man and brought
him to the hall. After hearing the
facts in the case the prisoner was re-
leased. The man is resid mt OF THU

Inspecting the River.

In the REPUBLICAN OF yesterday We
noted the embarkation of survey ing
party from New Castle. Upon getting
out they proceeded TO inspect the river,
for the purpose of gaining information
in regard to government improvements
in the way of dredging and lighting the
river so they may report to Congress
the urgent demands of increasing com
mercs. The matter OF selecting place
for an ics gorge to protect ships in
winter was investigated. 1t is thought
that the lower part Of Reedy Island
will be selected for the purpose. The
Council committee, of Philadelphia, on
commerce and navigation, at their last
meeting in accordance with the request
OF the United States engineers, appoint
ed +. Dundore and George s. Graham
to accompany the Deputaticn. Along
with these gentlemen were Alexander
Henry, president of the Board OF Har-
Dor commissioners; Messrs. Henry
Windsor and J. A. Wright, of the
Board of Trade, and representatives
from the Board of Port Wardens, Com

A Grand Surprise Party.

About eight o'clock last evening a
large company Of the friends of Mr..

with their baskets and bundles, crowd.
ing several Of the rooms, the leader of

saying suppose this is what is called

sent OF my good natured partner, Mrs.

house, and let me inform you that you
have taken us completely by surprise.
After spending the early hours
Of the evening in various kinds OF
amusements, the company were sur.
prised by Mrs. +. and Mrs. r. bolt
ing into their presence, each bearing a
large tray that fairly groaned under
their load Of good things, to which the
company did full Justice. Mrs. and Mr..
crozier favored the company with a
number of Scotch songs, among which
were "Jock O'Hazel Dean" "IIa, Ha,
the owing O't." "The Queer Folk in the
Shows" Mr.. Crozier performed in Fl ne
style, singing at the same time the
Scotch piece called "Daftie Willie"
The company were kept in roars of
laughter. At an early hour this morn
ing the party departed, each Of them
highly delighted with the nights en-
joyment, and wishing the Crozier fam
lily long life and a happy one.

Saddened by thoughts Of the past,
When iife's dreams OF the future
Are ruth essly broken at last.
Backward to memory PICTURES,

Before we bend to His VIII.
Quiet as the waves OF the ocean
AS they widen, yet one center Keep,
So our thoughts are e'er returning

Cold and pallid the senses
When we think that she is gone,
Earth's Toys seem past forever
And sorrow relgns alone.
But why in tears do we mourn
Or upon us such sadness fall,
Why does the thought cause shusder
OF the black draped fun raj pail
AS fro the Spring comes the Summer,
And out Of the light cjDes the day,
She was called by Deaths grim summons
Into sunshine ia away.
When the now unknown future

Rejoice that your darling Emma

Specially Reported for the REPUBLICAN,.
Ngw CASTLE, Dec. s.
Court met this morning at 10 o'clock
Chief Justice Comegys and Judge Hous.
ton on the bench.
There was small attendance at the
Court, owing TO the fact that but little
interest seems TO be taken In the case
on trial.
Mr.. cummins, counsel for the defence
In the Harris ejectment case, asked per.
mission from the Court before proceed
ing in the case to wait until the arrival
Of Mr.. Bates, as he had taken over one
Of the reports which he had cited last
evening. GWhile Mr.. Cummings was
addressing the Court, Mr.. Bates arriv-
cd in the room. Mr.. Cummins resumed
his argument, citing several cases, in
which he considered there was no con
tention how far the lines should run.
At 1890 Mr.. Cummins addressed the
jury, stating that he did not intend to
keep the jury all the day, or half the
day, as 1t was Q question Of law for the
jury to determine. The counsel intro
duced map which he said was a cor
rect representation Of the land from the
l4th OF November, 1878, when the suit
was brought. 1t is not, he said, a cor
rect representation at time further
back than 1878. Mr.. Cummins said
that they we're not here to defend de-
fendants title, as 1t was not in dispute.
1t isn't question whether Eliza or Mary
Harris have good title, but 1t is ques-
ton whether the plaintiff have a good
title, or whether he has any title to the
land. The plaintiff has said that John
A. Harris who has had no interest in
the property since 1874, had been steal
ing the land from the plaintiff. Mr..
Cummins stated that there was not one
item TO prove that Mr.. Harris had sto-
len one inch of the ground. II there
should be any doubt in the minds OF
the Jury as to the plaintiffs having a
right and title to this property, the
verdict should be rendered for the de-
fence.
