Railroad suit IN Cecil.

A RIDE FROM ELKToN TO WILMINGTON AND
WHAT HAPPENED.
At the session of the Cecil County Court,
last week, among the cases tried was that
of John B.Dunbar against the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Compa-
ny an action for putting the plaintiff of a
train near Newport, Del, some time last
February. Dunbar, the plaintiff, testified
that he had round-trip ticket from Elkton
to Wilmington and return, used only on
certain trains /; that he had used it on the
"trip &c Wilmington in a 9pruuer~rra'n, and,
coming home on the through express, on
which such tickets are not received in full
for fare, that he offered the ticket, and was
told by the conductor that it was not good
on that train that he offered sixty cents
additional, the difference between round
trip ticket and regular tickets to and from
Wilmington that the conductor refused to
take the sixty cents, and demanded ninety
cents, the full price of ticket from Will
mingUon to Elkton and that upon his re-
fusal to pay ninety cents, they stopped the
train and we're about putting him off, when
he offered to pay the ninety cents, which
the conductor then refused to take, and he
was elected in deep cut in the darkness.
Conductors Pettijohn and Lyle testified
on the other hand that DUNBAR rendered
the round trip ticket, but refused to pay
the sixty cents that they then stopped the
train near Newport, and hauled up to the
depot, where Dunbar was put off, and that
he at no time offered to pay the required
fare, but said that he had no money. The
case was argued by Vandiver and Constable
for the plaintiff, and by A, Evans and Jones
for defendant, and given to the jury, who,
after being out all night, came into Court
declaring they were unable to agree, and
we're discharged.

Eastern Shore Oysters.

The demand for oysters this week has
been i'll excess of the supply, causing COM
petition among the buyers and an advance
of prices of at least % per cent. Prime
oysters have sold on the river as high as 80
cents bushel Prices have been good also
in the city, owing to the stormy weather,
and to the fact that the dredgers were not
at work. Daily this week from six to eight
and sometimes more, boats have been lying
in the harbor with baskets aloft-the sign
that oysters are wanted. The weather has
been good the latter part of the week, and
our oystermen made profitable weeks
work. They complain of the scarcity of
oysters. especially Of the fue qualities

why His win Stopped.

The Doylestown, Pa, Democrat says -
A few days since Evan Slower, or Spring
Valley, Bucks county, while working in his
mill, noticed that the machinery was not
working as it should do, and kept getting
slower. Finally it almost stopped. He i'm
mediately proceeded to investieae the mat
ter and ascertain the cause. He raised the
stones, inspected the machinery and did
other things without avail. Finally he went
to the water gate and raised it up Finding
that the water did not flow as fast as it
should, he inserted his arm in the race, and
to his horror pulled out one of his children
aged about three years. 1t was to all ap-
pearances de ad but as he was carrying it to
the house. its nose began to bleed and the
color came back to its face. The child was
resuscitated and is at present as well as if
nothing had ever happened. How long the
little child had been In the water no one
knows.

TIE HAYES BEQuEsT.-There being
prevailing impression that the Hayes he
quest II $2t,600 is INN iiately available
for the Children's Home, the managers Of
that institution desire TO say that the idea
ie an erroneous one. No benefit will be de-
rived from it for year to come, and then
the interest only can be used. There never
has been a time when the Home was in M re
urgent need of assistance than nov, ,and it,
hoped"that the subscriptions TO help it
through the coming winter will be liberal.
There are many people in Wilmington who
we're never more able to make liberal sub
scriptions to worthy objects than now. Their
incomes are not reduced, while their expen-
ses are very much cut down. Let them
come to the aid OF the Home.

HOW THE CROP OF 1876 PAID COMPARED WITH
THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
Thepeach crop, though failure through
out Southern Delaware, and the lower
counties of the Eastern Shore, was re-
munerative one in the peach region OF New
Castle county, and the northern section of
the Eastern Shore Wherever there were
peaches during the past season, good pay
ing prices were received for them, pro-
vided they were sent to market in a proper
condition.
Some little idea may be gained of the
profits of the present seasons crop from
the statement of the weekly shipments
given us by William Reynolds from his
farm on the Delaware Levels about
four miles southwest of Middletown, and
the receipts for the same. His shipments
and receipts, commencing the first of Au-
gust, were as follows
