REPAIRING THE STREET TURSPIKEs As soon
as the stone crusher il disengaged from the
preparation of stone for French street, it will
be set to work to prepare material with which to
mend the turnpked streets several parts Of
the city. Some Of these streets have been much
worn in many places aud their repair is aDso-
lutely demanded by the public safety. The
worst OF all, probably, is that portion of Market
street, from Tenth to the Brandywine, but the
work will cover the extension OF the same street
in the Ninth Ward the Concord Pike which
branches OUT from Market street. at st. John IL
Church Delaware Avenue, from Tenth street
to the cemetery, and Front street west from Mar
ket. William Candy, chairman OF the Street
Committee, is filling his administration with
vigor, and cur streets will be greatly improved.

An OYSTER DISPUTE SErrLKD.-The oyster
men Of Queen Anne's county, Nd, have long
claimed that Talbot oystermen had no right to
take oysters in that prong of the Wye river
which extends into the former county. The
question, however, was finally settled. last week
BY the Circuit Court throwing open both prongs
OF the river to the oystermen of each county re-
spectively. The decision, says the Centreyille
0bsercer was based upon the 18th section of the
oyster law which gives to citizens of Queen
Anne's and Talbot counties the use of "the
waters of Wye River and the mouth thereof in
common" The Court (Judges Wickes and
Stump held that notwithstanding the fact that
one branch OF the river was wholly within the
limits Of Queen Anne's county, yet by a proper
construction OF the section both branches were
included in the general title "Wye River which
is expressed in the law In the singular number.

Now. my non-military readers should

there is small addendsm, viz: "N.
B. Nothing extraordinary since guard

that in case anything particular should
occur the officer commanding the guard

however, said nothing about the acci-

officer and some hours after the Brig
ade Major came to his quarters. on the
part of the officer commanding, with
the report in his hand, demanding an
explanation. The Brigade Major, ad-
dressing him. said:

The Buckeye Challenges the World.

The Buckeye Challenges the World.
The improved Buckeye Table Rake

State Fair, as usual, took the First Pre-
MUM. The manufacturers of this cele-
brated machine, c. Aultman & Co., not
satisfied with the high degree of excel
lence they have already attained,
which, in every trial, has rendered them
victorious over all competitors-are
still striving to render the Buckeye as
perfect as possible. They are out with
other improvements for 1875, consist
ing of an ingenious fitting lever, under
the complete control Of the driver,
to raise and lower the guards
on rough ground. This i'm.
provement will at once recommend it.
self to the farmers, as it enables them
to cut lodged and matted grass, and
gives them the utmost confidence in
the ability of these machines to cut any
grain or grass that grows. The second
improvement consists of a new frame,
rery light and strong, all the boxes
being SO covered and protected as to
exclude the grit and dirt. In all trials
on soft. rough grounds. in wet and
heavy grain, which will test the capa-
bilities of any machine. the Buckeye
comes out with fresh laurels as the
champion MACHINE of the age-a ma
chine without competitors. 1t is Of
light draft, can be easily worked with
two horses. and neeo only be seen to be
appreciated.
MIR. r. H. Jones of Minneapolis,
Agent for Minnesota, represented the
machine at the State Fair, and knowing
as he does of its great merits, confident
ly recommends it as being the best ma
chine il the world.
