ceny of bushels of wheat, valued ut Sla per

Guilty.
Sentenced to forfeit aud pay as restitution
money, two dollars and iity cents, TO pay the
costs of prosecution on Saturday the 10th
inst, between the hours Of 10 and 3 O'Clock,

to any person residing in tho State for term
not exceeding years.
Market Cdr.-We learn that the Market Car
which was placed on the Delaware Railroad,
few weeks ago, has been quite well sustained.
Immense quaint les of fish, eggs, poultry and
potatoes have been forwarded by it, which
otherwise would have been consumed in the
neighborhood of Seaford or other towns, or
sold at little more than half the rates which
have been realized. The beneficial effects OF
the railroad on the interests of tho farmer,
fishermen and others have been felt in every
hundred through which it passes, and the Ell
feet will be not only to double and quadrnple
tho value of the land, but to double and quad
ripple tho production. The soil is well aid lpted
to arising vegetables and now that the railroad
furnishes the facilities for getting them to mar
ket, immense quantities will DO produced and
a car will be required before many seasons
elapse, TO mako daily instead of semi-weekly
trips. Who will say after this that Railroads
are ofno advantage or that the owners of farms
heavy damages. In most cases the farmers
could well aff5rd to give theright of way, in
stead of asking or demanding pay for it.
The Robbery in DslaDaIe.-Two Englishman
named John Bennett and Benjamin Rowling,
alias Is Blue Ben," were arrested in Philadel-
llhia, on Saturday, on the charge OF having, on
Thursday night, broken nto the mill OF James
Taylor, in Newcastle county, Delaware, and
stole there from eight pieces Of cassinet. On
Saturday afternoon they had a hearing before
the Mayors Committing Magistrate, and were
held to await requistion from the authorities
Of this State.
While the hearing of this case was in pro-
gress, George G. Collins, Esq, entered tho of
flee, and at once recognized Bennett as an old
client of his, who had, while on business
visit to him, some time since, illchGd his watch.
To answer the charge of robbing his lawyer,
MIR. Bonnet was held in an additional sum.
Produce Markst.-The market on Wednes-
day morning was better supplied than usual.
The price Of vegetables ranged as follows -
Butter 81 II SIC. per lb.; eggs II a lBc. per
dog; potatoes 20 25c. per half peck; beets
&C.. per or. peck asparagus 10 a lSc. per

tuc 2a6c. per head sweet potatoes SIC. per half

pDr bunchi pic plant l0c. per bunch
The price Of chickens ranged from Zoe. to 81
pUr pair. Shad 10 to 3lc. each. Herring Is
to 1Sc. per dozen.
Poisoning Dogs.-Some substance stirred up
with Indian Meal was thrown through the Sts.,
tile past two or three evenings, which it is sup
posed several dogs have eaten, as some half
dGsen or more Of those animals died very sud-
denly. We cannot imagine what could have
prompted to this course, unless it DO II desire
tu rid the city of a portion of the useless ours
Which iniest our streets.
Extra Trala.--A train OF cars commenced
running on Tuesday, leaving New Castle. at
g.. is p. M, for this city, and this city at us
p M, to return, and will so continue TO run
while the Court is in session, for the accommo-
dation of those attending tho sittlngs of that
body.
