notice onc-the recn n!orcemcnt of the
law regulating marketing, as OF great
benefit to the citizenship generally, and
we believe Of material advantage to
those offering articles for sale. Persons
bringing meats, fruits, vegetables &c, to

Market house, Tuesday, from 8! o'clock
A. NJ. to l0a \. NJ. A(,et that, to sell at
any place in town as best suits their
convenience until II o'clock next day,
the same Of Thursday aud Saturday,
The principal adv santase seems TO be in
the saving OF time, as one trip to the
marks, house enables the purchaser to
get supply Of the various articles he
needs. lha, he might otherwise lose
much time in huating up, Or do without
The advantage 20 the seller is in having
an appointed place whore the citizens
will NEE, him TO purchase his commodi.
ties wi,hou, the necessity Of running a.
round town to drum up his customers.
Saturday morning last there were some
3 or 400 people q. market for some
hours in the morning, continually chan
ging by the departure Of those having
obtained supplies and the arrival of 9th.

The aggregate value Of all the sales
