A kNoTrY DECISION. A white boy named
Joseph Hill was indicted at the court in
Dover, for stealing railroad ticket from the
depot at Harrington. The Dciawdredm SAYS !:
The prisoner confessed that he took o
ticket and walked toward the next station with
the intention Of getting on the cars at tha,
point whereupon the counsel for the prisoner,
Mr. Day, made the following points: First,
That the ticket was taken from the railroad
company and being in the possession of the
company was without value, and being without
value the prisoner could not be convicted :
Second, That railroad ticket was not sub
lect OF larceny at the common law and had not
been made SO 10y the statute law of this State
and that the prisoner could not be convicted
The Court sustained the points and directed
an acquittal. A railroad ticket being in the
nature OF an order, it would seem to follow
from this decision that no order whether for
the rendering of a service or the payment of
money! Is property while it remains in the
possession OF the maker, but when it comes
into the possession of the person to whom it is
issued it immediately changes its character. and
like bank note, becomes a subject of larceny.
The point Is very nice one not easily seen,
out IKE the sting of wasp it is there"
The boy, however, was fogged and pioried
last Saturday, and has to stay in Jail six
months Tor stealing something's ride on the
cars, perhaps.

THE ALDEN FRUIT DRYING PROCESS,
A correspondent of the Ereyv Evenio0 in
speaking of the Alden fruit drying establish
ments in Middletown, throws out these refec.
tlons: During 1873 and 1872 much of the
Alden fruit was scOrched or imperfectly dried
and was a total loss or had to be sold Mt a re-.
duced price. The Alden process is only an
experiment yet, and if their products ever he.
come standard commodities there must be a
great Improvement in the practical results over
anything that has yet been done here. What
is the use of establishing large manufactories
with expensive machinery and then offer fruit
to the public at twenty-five to forty cents per
pound that is no better than the common SIM
dried fruit that can be purchased at from six
to ten cents per pound. Gentlemen. make the
Alden dried fruit Of such quality that il can
be shipped to the markets of the world. and
then you will not have so much stored here in
MiddletOwn to become food for worms.
do not desire to be understood as writing
to convey the impression that the Alden nro,

has been here, there is great room for improve.

the experience of the past we shall have better
