It is sixty feet square, and modelled after one in Switzerland. It still stands as a land mark of old times — still called " Ward's Castle," and he still resides in it. Those were white days, and Mr. Ward was a king-pin at New Brighton. I recollect on one occasion a grand fancy ball came off. Mr. Ward appeared as General Washington. He was dressed precisely as the old hero, even to the dress when he took the oath as President at the comer of Nassau and Wall street. Anybody who was not posted wo...uld have supposed that Mr. Ward was the real General Washington. Mr. Ward has had the gout for several years ; it has kept him closely confined to his house. He is decidedly OF JSTEW YORK CITY. 221 a literary man of correct taste.
