On Thursday of last week Sheriff
Kelly locke a barge partly loaded
with shells at Pedricktown. The load
of shells had been purchased by Jacob
r. Justice and were partly unloaded.
when the cold weather came and the
barge was anch0rd in midstream.
When milder weather came the Captain
refused to unload the shells as Mr..
Justice desired. Finally the barge be-
came ice-bomd in the creek and the
captain made ar unsuccessful attempt
to sue for delay. As Mr.. Justice paid
a good price for the shells he sent for
the authorities to have the barge lock-
ed. When the officers arrived the Cap
tain was just making ready to leave
with the shells and money, having tele-
graphed for a tug. The captain was
disappointed in his game and required
10 pay the tug which left without the

The Court of Errors and Appeals on
Monday rendered decisions upon the
eases argued before it ut this term. In
the ease of Fitzgerald against Faunce,
involving the right to private owner
ship of the fisheries along the Delaware
River shore, in Gloucester county, the
Court affirmed the decision below that
n riparian grant by the State Of lands
under water did not make a treSpaSstr
of the man who had, under previous
private deeds, acquired the right to the
fisheries. Mr.. Fitzgerald owns the land
upon which the fishery is situate5 AMI
also owns the riparian land in front.
Mr.. Faunce had a deed of the fishery
from a former owner. Judge Reed
diSsented from so much of the opinion
as held that the Delaware fisheries were
the private property of the shore-own-
ers.-Saabedm.
PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.
Over the River.
That dreadful disease among cattle,
Pleuro-Pnenmonia was recently discov-
cred among a farmers herd just out
of Wilmington. On investigation hun
dreds of cases have been brought to no
tice among the cattle of many farmers
who were ignorant of its prevalence.
The dairymen and farmers are great
" alarmed and these whose herds are
not afflicted are using every precaution
to 6ght it off. 1t was at first kept
quiet, as it is necessary to slaughter the
animals and quarantine the herds,
among which it prevails. The satte of
Delaware has taken no action to re-
numerate the owners for their loss, but
it is hoped it will soon, as the farmers
and oranges are taking the matter in
hand.
