Ny attention having boon called to
nm article In an afternoon papnr yes.
terday in reference to the high bridge,
i waited upon some Of the property
Owners In the neighborhood and found
that the rain water does not DO
carried into the proper chonnels since
tho bridge has been raised, and they
Informed me further that they pur-
pose asking the City Council to pro-
ltect their properties. The president
of city Council. when seen on the
subject, stated that complaints have
been made of the water going on the
properties adjoining the bridge after
tho last rain.

Several days ago Robert Lynch got
possession OF stolen horse aud In
formed the authorities here. Yeeter-
day two police officers Of wilmlnSto n
came here and esked for search war
rant from Magistrate Janvier. The
Officers having no Jurisdiction outside
of Wilmington were helpless in the
matter. so Constable Riding was arm
ed with the warrant aud pretty soon
recovered possession OF the horse, a. nd
the owner and the two city officers

A Cheap John" auction house was
started here yesterday. Last evening
he held a sale. but said, on different
occasions, that he could not UNDER
stand why tho people did not want to
buy. He seems to have struck the
wrong place. The people should not
pstronize his sale. They should buy
4 from New Castle merchants. and II
they cannot supply them then go to
wilmington merchants and make the
purchases from them.
y Last evening he refused to take a
bid because IL was a live cent bid, Then
at other times he would club together
three or four articles and say who
wants this lot for quarter or dime"
as the case might happen to DO. Very
few respectable people were present
and very few will be present when
they consider that 1t is not New Gas
tie man nor a New Castle store that
will be benefited Z, the purchase OF
lany article. ...
j. W. Cook moved his household
goods here yesterday. lie has been in
the bakery business in the South for

come to our city. and therefore your
correspondent wishes MIR. Cook a
hearty welcome and trusts he will re.
ceive o share Of the oity's patronage.
