tleman well known by our citizens as one who
supplies them with fine poultry from his ostab-
Eshment, No. 691 King street, near Line, has pre-
sented us with one Of the largest and most OK
quisite peaches that we have ever looked upon,
or placed to our lips. Mr.. a. informs US that he
obtained the stone from Mr.. GREGG, who has
similar fruit at Kalmia, and planted it about four
years ago, and that this his tree has yield
ed him as it's first bearing seventeen like that
which he has kindly given us. We hope that
those who are fond Of planting this most excellent
fruit, will call upon him, and endeavor to obtain
seed.

was condemned to pay $50 fine, or 60 days hard
labor on the streets.

not at all posted in the rights of eum and teun,.
The Court sentenced him to pay SIG fine, or thirty
days' hard labor on the streets.
United States os. Scipio Polite {colored)-As-
sault.-In this case it Was proved that the defend
ant was wrongly accused. He was evidently an
il-used man, and, the Court finding him not
guilty, he WAS discouraged.
United States ps Henry Washington and Daniel
Green (colored) Attempt to Break House. The
prisoners were seen by two policemen on duty en-
deavoring to pry off the shutter OF store In st..
Philip street, opposite Bogard. The police were

them. They had bar OF iron with them, but it
was dropped in the fight. The police carried the

his CONSERVATION that he was in the lions den.

days.
