LAST Saturday witnessed a little
war among the meat dealers of Mil
ford, that may result in getting some
one INTO court case. The butchers
of Milford pay no town license or
county tax to conduct their business.
and oppose farmers or dealers who sell
beef from the wagons. The Town
Council have enacted an ordinance
which prescrIbes the points at which
wagons may stand and sell,and espec-
tally forbids them standing on Wal
nut-st, which is none too wide to ae-
commodate the business travel done
on 1t. This shows the conditions
under which the tronble occurred. On
Saturday morning John Bennett, a
farmer of Milford Neck came to town
with beef he had butchered, and pur-
posed to sell at retail. He took his
position on Water-st at the corner of
Walnut, and commenced to sell. The
market was slow there, and upon ad-
vice of relatives, he put his horse to
the wagon aud went out on Walnut
st, relying upon moving short dis
tances TO escape the penalty; but the
butchers were watching him,and in a
few minutes he was under arrest. The
fine was paid, and John went back TO
Walnut-st, and he was again arrested
and fined, This was repeated again
until the fourth time; when many Of
his friends from the country attempted
to interfere with the officer taking him
to the Town Jail. The crowd, com
posed of some of the best known peo-
pie in Milford Hundred, lost its head,
and laid themselves open to serious
charges which they will probably have
to defend in court, as the Juslice-Of-the-
Peace had their names taken so that
charges can be preferred against them.
Mr.. Bennatt made no resistance, but
mis- friends made that part of the trou-
uIe. There is considerable feeling
over the matter but the Town Author
tiles purpose to maintain their posi-
tion, even if dozen court cases result.

For several weeks military circles
have been waiting for the order TO be
issued by Col. q. w. Marshall assum-
ing command of the First Regiment.
That it has not been issued before this
week, was due to the breaking Of the
copying press on which duplicates
we're made. 1t has been generally
understood that Lieut.. II. l.. Paige is
to act as Adjutant until Col. Marshall
can get a suitable man in the regi-
ment to take the position; as Paige
will not accept the position, because
it removes him from the line of pro-
motion. The orders will probably be
made public this week. The commits
sion of the MajOr-elect, Capt. q. M
Carey has never been filed up, because
ofa difference between him and the
Adjutant G eneral over company mat
lers, and it is possible that this may
require new election, when the emajor-
