visited New castle yesterday and in-
spected the jail which | found In excel
lent condition. Number OF inmates 1871.
One prisoner ls unwell from some bowel
trouble, the others were well The out
house OF the public school next to the
jail Is in the same condition it was when
L examined the schools year ago, q
disgrace to civilization.
Rose Hill school house, district No. AZ,
On the road leading to New Castle Is fast
going 10 rack; the plasterlng of the cell
ing has fallen OF Of nearly one-third of
the ceiling and the whole interior is u for
lorn eight to behold. | notified the com
missioners some months ago, but nothing
has been done. The outhouses are not tt
for use. Commissioners Samuel Jackson
and William White, ct that time
visited Delaware City and called on a
number ofpromi aent gentleman residents
OF that quiet town. Wm. Bright, DR..
Jester, druggist, 'BIessrs. CneaIres and
Ash were not at home. Drs. Bellvile
and Dunlap were found at home. They
report that their town is healthy, and the
disease which annoys them most is pneu-
monia. The Delaware Canal Company
probably contributes to more annoyance
and real downright disturbance of the
residents opposite that abandoned gut or
dead end OF the outlet to the Delaware
Canal. 1t is a nuisance prejudicial to
health, and should be abat, d forthwith,
as | am of the opinion that, If 1t is not
abated soos, Delaware City will have
surlelt OF malaria.
The public school Is in a iourishing
condition under the management of Prof.
T. ii. Johns with three lady assistants.
The rooms are large and well ventilated
and great care has been taken to have
coed light aud the school rooms made
inviting This has been done and re-
ilects great credit upon those in charge.
The numbfr of scholars is go healthy
and l must say good-looking pupils.
Now the outlouses need the attention of
the authorities. The principal said 1t
would be done at once. Delaware City
needs Board OF Health and am pleased
to know they have teen trying for years
to organize one but have failed because
some good home rule citizen OF short du-
ration wanted 10 keep pig, a goose aud
a COW. Therefore tue bread could not be
taken out of the mouths of these home
rulers.
am pleased to learn that an effort
will be made soon to organize Board of
Health, 30 much needed at that point
called on our stad Old honest friend Mr..
Mccall, Levy Court Oommlssioner;helive
in large aud handsome residence ard is
very contented. / was surprised to learn
that about three hundred men are en-
gagged In catching and preparing sturgeon
Tor market mt this point. 1t would pay
any news paper reporter to spend day
or to here to find out this great industry,
worth at least $1,000 per day.
1 was introduced TO the accomplished
young ladies' who wee in charge of the
public school, and must say they were
very agreeable young ladies.
also noticed young gentleman from
Wilmington fixed up in his best. came
to the conclusion he might have some
thing to do with the public school; his
