niversary last Friday. All Of their

cheerful fire burned in the large old
fireplace, with which their
home is blessed. 1t is probable that

Key, chicken, pork, fruit and other

the Mispillion River, are used by those
who are licensed to catch oysters in
waters ofthe Mispillion, to ship oysters
TO Philadelphia and other points.
This is contrary to the laws Of Della
ware, and the owners OF these steam
boats know this to be fact yet, they
are permitting the men employed on
their steamboats, to break the laws. A
man reliable IN every way gave this
Information to the writer Of this article

COnstables Of either Milford District
IN Kent County, or OF the Milford Dis
