New Castle can not yet boast Of a
public park but it was suggested TO your
correspondent to-day TO say through the
medium of the EVENING JOURNAL that
that part Of the Leslie estate bounded by
Sixth. South and Union streets be pur-
chased by the city, the fence removed,
the grounds graded where needed and a
dancing pavilion erected thereon OF
course this would necessitate having
park guards, but rs the park would only
be Ia use during the heated term, that
expense would comparatively speaking
be slight Ii is the general opinion that
were such movement made by the city
fathers, this town would be very much
nicer resort on warm evening than some
of the other small places in the imme.
diate vicinity Take for example Aug
ustine Pier. We have Just as bracing
air in the locality IN which this article is
written as there is at that favorite re-
sort
Our town library is in very flourish
ing condition at present, 1t having but

powerful tugs Reliance and James Me-
Caulley was pulled Of and proceeded on
her journey up the river at high tide.
Notwithstanding all reports which have
circulated throughout the state BY various
papers in past times regarding the water
and gas Of New Castle, it is very evident
that though occasionally we hear Of sick
ness, yet we have the best water TO be
found within a radius Of a hundred
miles, as has been proven by different
analyses. We do not have the refuse Of
mills, sewers and other offal to contami-
nate the drinking water, consequently we
claim purity. Our gas NAV sometimes
be bad but our citizens defy any city to
show time when her gas was contin-
ually pure. And as for manufactures.
what better water facilities would man
want than here Vessels Of the heavi
est draft are able to touch here; our
railroad facilities though not as good as
some other towns, are amply sufficient
for the accommodation Of any one.

creditable appearance as also did the

The farmers are rather late this year in
