A VESSEL BOUND TO THIS PORT
... MISSING. ...

The sloop, Garret P. Wright, commanded
BY Capt. J. T. sewell, which has been sail
ing with oysters from the Chesapeake to
this port, is missing. More than three
weeks ago she loaded at Poplar Island with
oysters for Wilmington, and since that time
nothing has been heard Of her. 1t 10 feared
that Capt. sewell has been foully dealt
with in consequence. of the hatred of the
Delaware Bay oystermen against the Ches-
apeake boatmen on account ofthe Maryland
State dredge laws, that keep the Delaware
boats from the Chesapeake. As . general
thing the Maryland boatmen are afraid to
20 to Philadelphia or this city with oysters
Capt. sewell was threatened when on q
previous trip and it 10 feared he was beer
wrongly dealt with.

OYSTER PLANTING.

The business of oyster dredging, which
has been very Improbable this season, 10
now much brisker, as the season for plant
ing has arrived. In the Miles River last
week number of Jersey sloops were load

New England at Deals Island, at the same
time, whose captains bought about fifteen
thousand bushels Of oysters, for planting In
northern waters. The oysters were sold at
an average of Of 20 cents per bushel.

On Saturday last the quiet town OF North

dispute arose between the two men about
midday, which speedily led to Larue ssis'

head being blown of by the shot. The ex
citement for some time was intense, bu
at length quieted down. The murderer

The reports of tho Executive oniccrs

through the year.
Mr.. Lungren, Executive officers Of the
Eastern District, presented the following
report: $50 exposed dead animals, etc.,
buried. $50 notices served to have impure
cess- pools cleansed, and 80 wells covered,
which were exposed. He also reported
having hsd abated 1s9 nuisances, IN shape
of hog pens, daughter houses dirty slloy''
cutters, etc.
Nj. William Hickey. Executive oficer Of
the Western District, reported that during
the year having given some attention to the
settlements along the Brsndywine, in 90 far
40 the neglect Of proper sanitary measures
were likely to Affect, aud which renders
obnoxious the water which we drink. He
notified parties Of $40 cess-pool nuisanees,
IT'S Of which were sbated without the
action of the Board. There were also re-
ported number Of nuissnces abatod 10 tho
shape Of staguant water In collsrs, dirty

various kinds buried. Two horses and 10
other dead animals were taken out OF the

zion, Mr.. Hickey referring to his work up

vastly Improved since the action Of the

my own observation and from conversation
with the people and tenantry, am satisfied
thatthe manufacturers desire TO meet the
requirements Of the Board, as far as prsc-
ticable, to preserve the purity of the water,
with commendable spirit, much labor ana
considerable expense, they have 20 far sub

Decision by the Supreme

=
On Saturday the Supreme Court OF
Appeals decided against the motion
of'the Register Company for a new
trial in the case in which Jim Swee-
ney was plaintiff, aud this Company
the defendant. In the opinion OF
very able lawyers, the points upon
which the defendant asked a new
trial were ample in law 10 justify
the same. While this decision must
be yielded to it does not change our
opinion, and the opinion of many
better yersed in the law than our
selves, Of its great injustice and hard
ship. That this verdict has been la.
boriously and vigorously lobbied for
BY parties interested, has been pat.
ent to even casual observers. But Of
this we will speak at another time.
The exhorbitant fine will be
promptly paid, and the squabble
amongst the mob of interested parties
will begin over the spoils. The Reg
lister will go on in the even tenor oil
its way, giving the latest news in
the brightest and most attractive
form,and discussing with fearlessneSs
the live issues Of the day, and the
behavior of men asking or filing po-
sitions of official trust Wheeling
