Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
New CASTLE. March l0- "A gentleman,
well known as funny man, gave a re-
markable description Of what he heard
in walking from the wharf TO the rail-
road station last evening about o'clock.
When he had covered about 150 yards OF
the distance, his ear caught sweet strains
OF enchanting music A few steps
! further and he recognized the
beautiful "Chevalier Breton" overture,
which issued from the rooms OF the
Hushebeck Orchestra square further,
and the old standard, "Fishie, Fishie,
Bite My Hook, could be plainly heard
coming from the headquarter OF the New
/ Castle colored band. This had hardly
died away when the Choral Society, in
its rooms in the k. Of p. Hall, struck up
Hail, Smiling Morn. The martyr had
already quickened his pace, but only fifty
yards more were necessary for him TO
catch the sound of "Razzle Dazzle,
waited DER the gentle breezss from the
direction of the Red Mems Hall, wherein
the Seminole Band was going through a
long review The fellow was then run
ming at full speed, and mufled his ears TO
keep from hearing the little Shawtown
boys, who were following him, each with
10 cent harmonics in his mouth, or the
unending tunes OF the Dobbinsville ac-
cordeons performed on by nearly twenty.
