on by NJ. Marsh, who again arrived
in this city last Tuesday. aud he de-
sires US to say, that at the time of
writing he was not aware of the fact
that Mrs. Loveless, residing about
three miles west of this place raised +,
in her apple orchard of forty acres,
eight thousand bushels of apples, six
thousand bushels of which she dis
posed of at 70 cents per bushel; and
two thousand bushels of choice varie-
ties at S1.00 per bushel.
Mr. Marsh saw Mrs. Loveiess' ex-

es it the finest collection he ever saw.
He will remain in this city some time,
attending to the large business inter-
ests which he has lately acquired.

have been found against Mrs. Clark
Allen and her son for the murder of
Clark Allen, lastspring, they are now
under arrest, and will be tried when
the criminal docket is taken up-the
trial will probably commence to-day.
The Allan case and the Shaffer case,

criminal cases TO be tried. We under
