NOTICES..
TO the Farmers Of Maryland.

TNliE undersigned having reason to believe
l. that certain commission merchants Of
Baltimore are using old orders of Farmers,
eXempting their grain from inspection under
the law prior to the late amendment, for the
purpose OF Withdrawing it from Inspection or
Weighing under the amended law, contrary
to the interest and intention Of the Farmers.
l respectfully suggest to the Farmers that
the amended law being for their protection,
and reducing the fee tor Weighing and In
spcct!on to one-qnarier Of II cent per bushcl,
the amount heretofore charged by the unof
fetal wcghers. it is advisable that they
revoke the old orders, written before the
amendment, as the best way to prevent their
being deprived Of the benefit Of the law so
essential to their security, by con mission
merchants disposed to embarrass its cxecu-
ton. Is. +. MAY,

HOUSE BREAKING.-Yesterd afternoon a
lady residing on Congress street left her resi-
dence for short time. After an absence of
two hours she returned, and found that her
house had been entered by bedroom win
dow, which had been partially left open. A
large quantity OF garments which had been
hanging up in the bedroom were scattered
upon the floor. In the dining-room, some
clothing, &c, which had been ironed out and
piled up was served the same, and the silver
ware in closet was thrown all about the
room., A money box, belonging to the chill
dren, containing small sum, was emptied and
its contents scattered-only fifteen cents were
missing. A valuable watch hanging up in the
sitting-room was not touched. 1t is pretty
evident that mischief and not plunder was the
object of the rogues, and that it must have
been done by boys.
