O for the watermelon of forty
years ago! This may sound like a
sigh for the sweet tooth ofyouth; but
it is not. The watermelons now in
Oxford market are Of the leathery-
acid kind. Why. a whole summer
will pass and one will not find inside
the rind OF a score of melons a tea
spoonful of that beautiful red and
deliciously sweet sugar nectar dis
titled by the dews of heaven on the
sands of Jersey or the loamy fields
of Pennsylvania and Maryland. In
the days agone it was always there.

The arrest of Irwin and the clos
ing out of his disreputable business
is consummation the respectable
and law abiding citizens on both
sides of the state line have had in
their hopes for long time. He has
boldly and recklessly carried on his
nefarious trade, regardless alike of

arrest at the hands of Constable Con-

wagon and thirty bottles of whiskey
in possession of the officer. This was
on the 10Th of June.
Irwin is unmarried and resides

tween the roads leading from Lom-
bard and Hilamans to Brick Meeting
House. This place is the third Sc,
vastopol that has existed in that vi
entity. 1t is said that he has bar
rel of whiskey up a tree near the
house, with hidden pipe leading to
private room where the fiery stuff
is drawn. This is for the purpose OF
evading discovery of his source of
supply should a raid be made by Off
GERS.
The citizens of the place above
named are now determined to bring
Irwin to Justice. A requisition on
the Governor of Maryland for his
delivery into the hands of the officers
of Chester county has been applied
tor through District Attorney Chem
of this county, the application be-
ing made by Justice Hudson of Hope
well and T. K. Stubs, Esq, of Ok
ford. The latter sent the application
to Harrisburg on Saturday last and
