As we write Wednesday morning we
notice dray passing our office, with four
teen kegs upon it, which, from there prac
teal appearance we judge to be filled with
beer. Welearn they are on their way to

We understand that Sock Lydy, who
was, under an ordinance Of our town re-
quiring all saloons and gambling houses
to close up by II e'clcck at night, fined
$5Oand imprisoned 3 days, by Mayor Bere-
man, under the provisions of said ordi-
nance has commenced a prosecution against
the Mayor for the recovery Of the fine and
for false seimprsOnment, laying his damages
at 5000
We do not vouch for the truth of the
assertion, but we have heard it said upon
the streets, that Judge Stafford, after he
delivered himself OF his Judgment upon
the case between the corporation of Wash
ington and Shelton, remarked that the
keepers of ale and beer houses, were fools
for quitting the sale of ale, beer and por
ter, on account of the town ordinance
the sale of these articles.
= Col Zigler, of the Wilmington Gar
dens and Fruit Farm, informed us the 9th
er day that he and his partner, Mr.. Leo
Welt, had four hundred bushels Of rasp-
berries this year. They have nine acres of
land devoted to the growth of this fruit
Next year they will have twelve acres in
bearing and they design adding until thev
have twenty, five acres in raspberriea. It
is paying crop. They are delivering berries
at sd 25 bushels.
- The fine showers of rain we have
had recently have improved the prospects
of good corn crop in our county beyond
expectation, and farmers tell US that they
never had better prospect at this season
of the year for full corn crop. Our ex
change papers bring US news of this char
acter from all parts of the country. The
wheat crop, too, in the United States, is
good one; the quality of the grain perhaps
was never better than it is this year.
I'VE are at loss to know why Judge
Stafford, at the late court, assessed u fine
Of fifty dollars each, upon two persons,
for violating the liquor law, while in sew
oral other cases he assessed fines of five
dollars for the same ohense, remarking
that this (S5.) was the low
est fine he could assess under the law. A
friend at our elbow suggests, as the reason,
that the men who were fined fifty dollars
sold very Indifferent article of whisky.
