The Old Court House.

For the REPUBLICAN,.
A visitor to the old court house at
New Castle, yesterday, seeing the doors
opened strolled in. The first sight that
met his eyes was small placard with
the inscription "Our Darling, five cents
quarter" being left by some candy
dealer, who had occupied the room a
few months since. The judges bench
was torn away and cast ruthlessly in
the yard. In the corner piled up to-
gether was the wreck of the witness
box and the last chair upon which the
witnesses used to sit while giving evil
dence. The clerks desk was nailed in
position at the side of the room, having
been used by the before-mentione
candy dealer as his counter. A mum.
Der Of chairs were arranged in position in
front of the platform, in readiness for a
meeting of some local interest which
was to be held in the evening. Every.
thing in the room had an air of ruin,
aud at the same time of solemniJy in.
spring the visitor with feeling of
stiffness as if the old room was con.
scious Of its past greatness and of the
many scenes and display of oratory
which had taken place within its un-
occupied walls.
Pursuing his explorations further the
victor came across the old jury box
thrown in corner Of the out-building,
broken up, and like Othello its occupa-
ton gone. A continuation through the |
various rooms revealed the same scene
OF disorder and ruin, some having been
occupied by clubs during the winter had
received much rougber treatment than
the others. A person wonders how the
lawyers and others ever managed to
see while having business in the va
rious offices, as they are extremely dark,
and yesterday being cloudy at two
o'clock person could just see to read
print and that with much difficulty.
Some action should be taken in re-
gard to the old buildings, for as they |
are now they are going to ruin and are
a dead loss to the county. They could |
be converted into work house with
out much difficulty, and thus give a
much needed improvement. NJ.

BerthA'S Indignation.

should smile.
As Bertha Redington spoke these
words she lay coquettishly in ham,
mock that had been swung between
two giant oaks that reared their tall
heads aloft in the lawn, at the edge OF
which stood her fathers stately resi-
dence. A little foot enmeshed in silk.
en- stocking, whose delicate texture
displayed to advantage the trim ankle
within, peeped out from beneath a
fsecy white dress, while the laughing
eyes and fair forehead of the girl were
surmounted by a coronal of sunpily-
golden tresses Of which any hair store
might have been proud.
$50 you like ice cream ?" said Har-
old Mcintyre, bending over the ham
mock and looking tenderly into Ber-
tha's blue eyes.
81 should smile" said the girl again,
getting ready to put on her slipper and
star.
"You are right" said Harold. "Ice
cream is a good thing. Perhaps some
day early next week l will buy you
some"
The look of happy expectancy faded
from the girls face.
"What time is it ?" she asked.
"Ten minutes to six, replied Harold.
'Then," said Bertha, "if you start
right away you will get home in time
for supper"

Dan Dougherty ON the Cand Idares.

Correspondent Cincinnati Eng uirer.
The Democratic party has selecJe d
for Governor young man with no rec
ord whatever leading up to such an hon
or, and simply on the score of his hon
esty. l admit that he has been a good
city officer, though dislike to see that
point made SO strenously, as If honesty
was the rarest quality in American life.
Are we so forlorn that nothing but hon
esty is the requisite for Governor of a
State? Honesty ought to be the prac-
tice of every household, and think it
is far more general in Pennsylvania
than this selection would admit. Mr..
PattisOn is not only very young maA
for such a position as Governor, but he
was a candidate for office when almost
a boy. Being yet a law student he
came out for place, and his maturity
has been constantly absorbed either in
office. seeking or office holding. think
he has never made an appearance AZ
the bar-certaiply in no case of mo.
ment. / am told that General Beaver
made an elegant argument in q case of
consequence some little while bpck.
While l have been an indignant enemy
OI 'ub OdmeTOuN anu all OnOLE WOlhb
and opened upon them in my Lancaster
speech years before this revolt started,
| must think that their candidate il
better prepared by law and war and
other things to rule State than Mr..
Pattison The latter ought to be con-
tinued in the useful city Office he now
adorns instead of being raised from the
common place to the eminent dignity
of Governor. But the best candidate
by far before the people Of Pennsylva-
MIA is John Stewart, the oppoGition Re-
publican candidate. l have the idea
that before the election the Republi-
cans will compromise their differences
and again carry the State. Gas to the
Democratic party" said Mr.. Dough-
erty, 'it is determined to blunder
everywhere. Such fatality of error and
failure must be the result of inherent
idiocy and disease"

JumDo's Successor In England.

Among the most recent additions to
the London Geological Society's coilec.
tiou Of living animals is a young male
African elephant, which now occupies
the stall III the elephant house lately
vacated by Jumbo. "Jingo," as he
has been named, is at present young in
years and small in stature, being only
feet 2 inches in height, and weighing
about 700 pounds. He Is, however,
without blemish or defect of any kind,
and perfectly tame and gentle. In
course of time 1t is hoped he ill attain
the full dimensions of his predecessor.
lingo was captured by Arabs in Upper
Nubia about eighteen months ago, and
is believed to be about three or four
years OF age.

A Horse Hurt in singular Man
npR.

On Sunday Alfred Pyle OfThornbury,
Chester county, was walking toward
the spring house, when his horse that
was out in pasture wanted to follow
him, but Mr.. Pyle closed the gate lead
ing to the spring house to proVent him
from doing so. This did not appear to
be pleasing to the animal as he became
restless and finally attempted to jump
the gate, bat this did not prove to be a
success as the horse landed on the gate,
and the inch pailings of which it was
made, penetrated its bowels to the
depth of about fifteen inches.
The pailings were extricated, but the
horse only survived a couple of hours.
Mr., Pyle valued the animal very highly
and feels his loss keenly.
