!, .HERE is something, to read and
ponder over. IN the reasons given
Tor new trial in q case the attor-
neys gave the following:
Because the amount awarded to
the said plaintiff as his damages by
the verdict OF the jury is grossly ex-
cessive.
Because the verdict rendered by
the jury is SO grossly excessive in
amount as to shock the conscience
of the court and clerrly demon
strates that it was the result of un-
due sympathy for the plaintiff or
passion, prejudice, partiality, or
caprice on the part of the jury"
Comment is unnecessary.

If the Levy Court Commissioners
can see their way clear to reduce
the tax rate 10 cents on the hundred
the property owners will be gratiti-
ed. There has been a disposition
for several years to increase the tax
rate and even then the county
would be in debt at the end of the
fiscal year. We can remember
when $l5, 900 was used to pay dep
uty county constables in this coun-
ty. They were not needed and no
one knew it better than the men
who had Governor Reynolds to APP
point them. At least nearly $50, 900
was paid out ON two occasions for
their deputies and the Levy Court
at that time was not a Republican
body. This is one of the reasons
that the countys finances have not
been better for three years past.
There are numerous instances, if
you will stop q minute and think,
which have caused the county tax
rate to be increased with nothing
more given in return for it,
We hope it will not be many years
before the tax rate can be further
cut down. The increase in new
building should keep pace with the
increase in revenue that is needed
each year to run the county. There
can be considerable pairing off done
all around, without hurting anybody
and several thousand dollars year
saved.
The outside relief at the Aims
house is one of the items that cal
be midtown without intlicting any
hardships upon those receiving it.

The big heartedness Of the ONeal
Bros was fully displayed at their
sale on Monday, the 9th inst, at
Hockessin, Del, in the manner Of
the immense dinner and supper
served to their patrons. At IL
o'clock sharp, the worth proprietor
of the hotel announced that dinner
was ready, and the manner ia
which the viands We're served until
9 o'clock, was q surprise to the oil IL
est inhabitant.
Immediately after dinner the auc-
tioneer, j. H. Slaughter, of Dil-
YORKTOWN, Pa, called the great
throng together and announced the
conditions Of sale and the way the
people sailed in to possess themsel-
yes Of the cattle, showed that they
appreciated the way they had been
treated.
An immense lot of cattle and
hogs were struck off in short Order
to the highest bidder and everybody
went home perfectly satisfied that
they had received $l.00 for every
95 cents invested, which nc doubt
will be great inducements for them
to attend all sales made by these
gentlemen in the future.
The price for fresh cows was
$50 to $50. heifers $40 to $25, bulls
| SIS to 1872.

Cling boy. He was hauled ashore al
