NEW CASTLE.

| New Castle, Feb. 5.-We have
done fairly well by the people Of thi
town." said Mr., Mahoney, chairman
of the acting committee at the meet
ing OF the trustees Of the Common
held last night. This remark wa.
made when the mattar OF appr opria
ting $500 to the Lenape Fire Com
pany came before the Board. Con
tlnuing Mr. Mahoney said "Wc give
the water company $500 year fol
water for fire protection, $3.50 fol
rent for the engine room and $500
for the schools. Now that we have
the fences in good trim we should
help the land and put on plenty OF
lime. When We bring the land up
we will be getting s6 an acre.
DR.. Black by all means put on
about 600 pounds Of lime on the
corr ground. Drill it and the cost
would be not more than $500 a year,
Mr. Mahoney well do not believe
that any less than $500 bushels
would be of any use to us.
