NEW CASTLE.

Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal
New CASTLE, Sept 24.-On Tuesday
morning the yacht j. j. Black, manned
by crew of eight ladies and gen.
tlemen, with the Rev. Mr.. Terry as
master, left this port for Pennsgrove, N.
j.. where there was in session two days
tent meeting of the Methodist church of
that place. The captain and crew spent
q most pleasant day and everything went
we'll until the return trip. II was intended
that the return trip should be started
ut o'clock in the afternoon,
but upon going to the beach the
yacht was found high and dry
upon the beach, where she remained
until O'Clock before she could be fioated
By this time the wind had died out and
the Black was brought to anchor near
duPont's wharf ut the Christiana creek,
where she remained until nearly mid
night. The wind then suddenly arose
and soon was blowing gale and some of
the crew were badly scared. The master
of the vessel, being an old salt,
managed the craft in most sea-
manlike manner and soon had her
safely in harbor. There were several
amusing incidents during the passage
home. One of the ladies', upon finding
the vessel WINS drifting away from the de-
sired haven, inquired why the boat was
not turned, in order that it might drift in
the opposite direction. One fat man,
partly for the benefit of the
ladies' and partly for the purpose of allay-
ing his own inward quaking, put his head
through the hatchway and through the
gale, shouted to the captain for assurance
that all was safe. Receiving no atfirma-
tive answer he reiterated to the cabin
where he endeavored to cheer the sinking
spirits of the others.
Last evening party of about As, sur
prised the Rev. Il. e. Terry ut his home,
the occasion being the PASTORS forty
first birthday. The visitors set most
suinptuous feast and having spent mn
enjoyable evening left for their homes
we'll bestowed and happy.

Numerous complaints are being made
by our citizens and the farmers of this

stones as to make it unsafe for both
horses and those driving. Several cases
of sprains have resulted from horses

should be removed before any really

 Carll's Opera House was again crowded last evening on the occasion of the Sunday evening temperance meeting of the Good Samaritans. The audience was made up of intelligent people who seemed to take deep interest in the proceedings. The unruly small boys were conspicuous by their ab
 sence, and the consequence was that better
 order prevailed than on some previous occa-
 sions. The managers deserve the thanks of
 the respectable portion of the audience for
 the enforcement of this rule and it is hoped that it will be continued.
 President Luddington was in the chair and presided with his usual easy, off-hand man. ner. The exercises opened with singing and
 prayer by MT. J. A. Moore. Presi-
 dent Luddington made a few intro | ductory remarks and in closing in troduced Captain William O. Buckley, of ! Hartford, who made a most spirited and in | teresting address. Being a reformed man Captain Buckley spoke from knowledge of the evils of intemperance, and his earnest appeals were calculated to reach the heart | of those who heard him, especially that DOT | tion of them who were bound hand and foot l by the chains of strong drink. His closing appeal was eloquent, and when he took his l seat he was greeted with loud applause. President Luddington then made an appeal l to those present to come forward and sign | the pledge. It was one of the best appeals that Mr. Luddington has ever made at these | meetings. On the conclusion of his re-
 marks number came forward and signed the pledge.
 After the speeches there was harmonica
 solo by three young men, tenor solo by G.. Wilmot Walker and two songs by the Elm City quartette.
 MT. Luddington announced that on next Sunday evening a statement of the receipts
 and expenses for the month would be made.
 This report, it is understood, will also give the amount received under the special effort
 now being made to wipe out the debts of the
 society. There are a number of persons
 that it is expected will send in their contribu-
 tions during the present week and it is hoped
 that result so much desired may be reached before the week closes
