Court OF COMMON PLEAs.-Judge King
Inspection Of Grain. William &. Seth VS..
State of Maryland--ap appeal from Hiss. This
case grew out of a former case, on appeal
from the Judgment Of Justice Hiss, impos-
ing fine of $ 5 each upon Seth and God
win, for weighing and inspecting grain in
violation of the inspecting law, they not
being State inspectors. In the former cases
it was decided that the written order of the
consignor to his commission merchant dircc-
ting him to sell his grain without inspection
was sufficient to authorize the cons;gnee to
have the grain weighed and measured by
any person. and did not require him to have
it inspected by the legal inspector.
In this case, which was argued last week
and held under curia, the question was rails
ed upon written orders which had been
given previous to the amendment Of the law
at the last session of the Legislature, and it
was contcnded by the State that such orders
did not exempt from inspection grain
broug hit to market since the law was so
amended. The Judge decided yesterday
that the orders were good, and reversed the
Judgment of Justice Hiss. -Sun.

THE CROPS. The continued cold,
wet weather is likely to prove q serious
injury to the growing crops generally, and
our farmers are beginning to express doubts
as to their realizing such an abundant har.
vest as they anticipated at an earlier day.
The violent rain storms have beaten down
the wheat in all parts Of the county, which
in addition to preventing the grain from
properly maturing, will add much to the
expense of harvesting the crop. Some of
our farmers estimate the bill of cost in har.
vesting this crop the present season at
double the ordinary outlay for that purpose.
Oats are likely to prove heavy and album
dant crop, if they too; are rot g stormcd
down y when they approach maturity. Cool
weather is the bane of corn, and that crop
at present gives very untavorable omen OF
abundance in the autumn. But at this
critical season of the crop, a change from
the cool, wet weather of the past, to clear
$ ics and warm sunshine may change the
present untavorable aspect of affairs, to one
less gloomy. From The Blue Hens Chicke,
we clip the following in reference to the
wheat crop in Delaware
The Wheat Crop Doun.-A great deal OF
| the wheat in portions of this county has
been so beat down and Frustrated by tho
recent rains, that We hardly see how the
farmers will escape great loss in saving it.
