A BOY Severely bitten.

George Carr, boy about 9 years old,
living near Sixth and Church streets,
was severely bitten by dog with which
he was playing yesterday afternoon
about. 3 o'clock. The dog, which is a
large animal of no particular breed, had
been playing with the children in the
vicinity, and 1t was not known to be
vicious. The dog and boy were
at Sixth and Church streets,
and it is supposed that the
boy was teasing it, when it suddenly
jumped on him, pushed him over and BIT
him in several places on the head. The
boy right ear was split by the dog teeth
and long cash made on his under jaw
He was also bitten in several other places.
Several persons went TO the boys assist-
ance and beat the dog off. DR.. g H.

Increase in the Cities-The Counties
Scarcely Hold Their Own.
The census Of the state, excepting four
districts in Sussex that have not been
heard from, places the number Of inhabl-
tants at 164. O00 The four remaining
districts win make the total number
about 165, ,000 The census Of 1880
gave the state little over
145, 900 people, and this years census
shows an increase of about 90, 000 This
city furnished about $4,000 Of this in
crease, which shows that the state, out
side Of this city, has increased very little
in population.
Excepting this city and New Castle, the
rest of the state has only held its own.
The failure of the crops in the lower part
of the state, has, no doubt, lessened the
number OF people. There is not work for
as many laborers as when the crops
were good. The enumerators also
have undoubtedly missed many in
the their canvass which was not as
close as it is might have been. However
by the figures given, a close estimate OF
the populatian of the state would not be
less than 1865, 500.

That Newell delped McKenney.

The charge that money was used in the
recent Democratic caucus for city aud
itor, is an absorbing topic among poli-
ticians and others. The rumor was
augmented by an article in
The Morning News to day, in which the
present city auditor makes remarks
suggesting the truth of the rumor,
and charging Councilman Beale of
the Ninth ward with going back
on a pledge to Newell and forfeiting
money paid to him to vote for Newell,
and voting for Mitchell.
Mr.. Beale refused to talk upon the
matter this morning, and said that he
would "attend TO It,
This matter was started by the state
ment of Colonel Newell in the EVENING

it prevents the First National Bank from

would otherwise make. The ownership
Of the Clayton House and First National
Bank is divided among twice as many
persons as the property OF

and the dividends are correspondingly
small The First National Bank stock
would be the best paying bank stock in
