Fine Pigs.-John and Caleb Marshall have .
very superior lot of pigs, about tour months
old. They are of the breed known as the
Chester county whites, and for rotundity o
form cannot easily be surpassed. They would
take the first premium not only in this county,
but in any Of the adjoining ones, and perhaps
could not be beaten in the entire country. We
hope that some of them will be at the next ex-
hibition of the Agricultural Society OF New
Castle County, so that our farmers may see
what can be done in the way of raising pork.
Messrs. Marshall are enterprising, pnblic-spirit
ed men, yet we have never seen any of their
stock on exhibition at any of our fairs, but it
is to be hoped that we will not have to reiterate
this remark, this time next year.
Grand ErcurSiOn..-The excursion of Morn
ing Star Section, No. &, Cadets of Tempe
rance, to Bridgeton, N. j., on Thursday next,
will no doubt be grand affair. The Amphion
Cornet Brass and String Band nave been en-
gagged for the occasion, and will enliyen the
scene with their music, while those who delight
in tripping the ''light fantastic toe" will have
ample opportunity to do so. The boat will
leave the wharf in the morning, at O'Clock.
Should the weather prove favorable, we have
not the least doubt that every one who attends
will be fully satisfied with thetrip.
Cherries.-Tnis Irult has been abundant this
year in this county, particularly in Brandy
wine Hundred which is famous for the
growth of cherries. 1t was supposed the
damp weather at the early stage of the season
would have caused the rot and scarcity OF
this delicious fruit would ensue. But in this
we are agreeably mistaken, as we learn that the
crop was prolific in the " Rock Bound Soil,' y
the farmers having forwarded to the Philadel-
phia markets nearly the same amount as in
previous years. MIR. Penrese r. Talley on
the Foulk Road, picked from his trees over
3600 pounds, for the above place, besides a
large quantity which were consigned semi
weekly to Wilmington, and sold by the quart.
Trustees Sale.-The brick house on Market
street, above Ninth, IL feet front and running
back to Shipley street, occupied as bakery,
and belonging to the estate Of the late John
Cleland, was sold on Saturday last, at public
sale, to VIM. Altzenger, for 81 $50.
The brick house at the eastern corner o.
Seventh and King streets, having front of ! I
feet inches, was sold to Thomas Cleland, for
81 $50.
The story brick houses adjoining, hay
ing front of rs feet y inches, were sold t
David Chandler, for $3.50.
| The store and house at the corner of Mint
and Market Streets, were bid up to $500, bu
were not sold.
Tall Oats.-We have received bunch
oats from the field OF John Rambo, who occu
pies the farm belonging to James IL. Ray, Esq
in White Clay Greek Hundred, the talleSt
which measures six feet three inches, bein
one inch higher than that received from +. Il
Coursey, near Frederick, Kent County, and q
tall as that grown by Lewis II. Bell, Of whic
tae editor of the Smyrna Times speaks so eN
ultingly. The farmers of New Castle are full
up with their neighbors, if not ahead Tn
farm of Mr.. Ray is a highly valuable one, an,
has on it a field Of first rate corn, which is nov
near six feet high, as well as ono OF big oats
Fine Corh.-Abraham Ford has one of til
finest fields OF corn on the farm OF Josep
Grubb, ESD, in Christiana Hundred, that ther
is in this county. 1t is full six feet high, an
coming out in tasse. If there be rain at til
proper period, we should not be surprised
the yield would be from eighty to one hundre
bushels to the acre. At any rate we hope t
have an account of it after husliing time, $
that we may let the people know what can 4
done by good farmer on good land. Th
corn generally looks very we'll, and there is
prospect of a fair average crop.
Beef StcaiGrS-Some rogue broke into tn
slaughter house of VIM. H. England, in rhir
street, between Orange and Tatnal, on Sun
day night last, and stole hundred weight O
corncd beef. The scamp leisurey picked on
the best pieces from prime lot that had bee
packed up in ice. England does not regret TIN
loss of the beef but is mortified to think tn,
rogue was so great fool as to take so much
when he ought to have known that beef thu
| prepared would not keepmur than two or three
days OF such weather as the present. Beef il
too valuable to be wasted. Persons should
keep look ont for some of these raScas.
New Road-A new road is about being open
ed from Pusey's Factory, in Chrstiana Hun.
dred, tointerScct the old Wilmington and New
Garden road, about mile above Hockessl
meeting house. 1t passes through the proper.
~ OF the Messrs. Pusey, heirs OF Joseph Head
CALVIN Hall, Lewis Lamborn, Irwin Cause JAS
Dixon, Peter Council, and Miller Dixon. This
makes more direct and easier road from New
Garden to Wilmington, passing by Pusey's
factory down the valley of the Red Clay
Creek to Phillips MILL and thence to Camp.
BELLS shops on the Kennett Pike.
