Treasury has authorized the Collector of New

such goods are intended for direct expectation
The Collector must take the conSul's agree

order will give general satisfaction. Had
this been done some time ago much unpIra

Herman-A Hard Case--Costs 10 tie Coun-
ty, am Costs all Round, &C., &c.
DEAR RICKETTS, For the last week or ten
days our place has been comparatively dull.
Owing TO the recent break in the Tide Water
Canal and the people generally throughout
the county being engaged i'll harvesting, tho
trade through the cansl has diminished.
Tile wheat crop through this section of
country will be very good one, and the oats
will be very heavy.
The Fourth passed off here very quietly,
there being no public celebration Of the day
by our citizens. The flags of the steamboats,
and shipping lying here were hoistcd to the
breeze yesterday morning in honor of the
day. A number of our citizens went off to
spend the day at Cape May, whilst a few
went to the picnic above your place.
Notwithstanding the excessive heat of the
Swcathcr recently, the health of our neighbour
hood is remarkably good lor this season Of the
year.
There is report in our place to-day that
Mr.. Thomas has sold Port Herman with
some two or three hundred acres Of land adj
of Baltimorcans.
Some time since an IiiShman in drunken
spree at the shanty here. broke pane Of
glass, in CONSCIENCE Of which difficulty oc-
CURED between him and the pro- -ictor. The
drunken one having threatened to 10 sori,,
bodily ham, was arrested and sent TO Jail,
where he has been imprisoned for the last
two or three months. running Cecil county to

man Who swore his life against him has left
the State and without a probability Of bis
ever making his appearance here again. This
il but one Of many cases in which officers for
the sake Of few cents costs will run the
county to my expense of from five TO fifty
dollars. There has been such talk in our
midst, that cases have occurred here, in
which. it is said, that both parties and the
State also, have had to pay costs" in the
same case, bat ns to the truth or fasty Of this

THE ADVERTISED LETTERs-Wc advertise
the list of letters remaining in the Post Office
at Port Deposit which will be Of advantage
to many Of our readers in the upper section
Of the county.
We sometimes advertise the Elkton list as
matter of news, and without pay, which
being of little amount has not induced us to
make demand for the advertising under the
law. The matter being thus mentioned,
however, We take the opportunity for the sat
isfaction of our advertisers, to say that the
circulation of The Wing is much greater than
