Circuit COuel PROCEEDINGS.

In the Circuit Court yesterday
the suit of Bacon, Galloway and
Stewart VS.. William T. and Lewis
Pinder, was concluded late in the
afternoon, being given to the jury
shortly after five o'clock. Accord
ing to the best Information OBJ
tainable, this suit was the result of
a contract entered into between the
parties to the suit, whereby the
Flinders were to saw lumber for
the Bacon, Galloway and Stewart
firm. The firm claimed to have
overpaid the Flinders and sued to
recover the amount claimed to have
been overpaid, and also for the
cost of the mill. Inasmuch as the
Finders, apparently, kept no books,
while the Bacon firm were able to
prove payments, they recovered for
the amount which they claimed to
have overpaid the Flinders, but as
their contract called for the de-
duction Of SO much per thousand
feet for every thousand feet sawed,
to be applied upon payment for the
mill, the jury concluded that the
mill had been paid for, or that
the Flinders had done their. part
toward doing so, and affirmed the
ownership of the mill by them.
Court was adjourned at the close
of the case until next week, when
it is expected that the murder trials
will be taken~up.

CURIOUS OYSTER GROWTH.
Specimen on Display at This Office
Shows More Than Half a Hun
dred Bivalves Attached to
Portion of Old Shoe.

Capt. Luther Phillips, of the
schooner Flora Kirwan, left at this
office this morning one of the
greatest specimens of oyster catch
we have ever seen. There are
nearly one hundred oysters attach
ed to the lower portion of an old
shoe, which had been discarded and
thrown overheard in Honga river.
The oysters vary in size from
small ones about one inch in length,
to more than three inches, there be-
ing more than twenty-five of them
that are larger than two inches.
This oyster curiosity demonstrates
very satisfactorily to every intelli-
gent person that oysters will be-
come much more plentiful If the
spat is given something upon which
to catch. While in the State Sen
ate several years ago, former Sena-
tor Applegarth, of this county, In
PRODUCED and had passed bill to
appropriate a sum of money for the
purpose of having the debris from
the Baltimore fire spread upon the
bottoms of the bay and tributaries.
the object of the bill being to fur
nish materials for the spat to catch
upon.

gins in Zion M. e. Church tomor-
row. The mission of the church Is
to bring souls to Christ. We have
been sowing the seed during the
year, and the time has arrived for
US to do some reaping. The har-
yes is great, the laborers are few.

people to give this service the right
of way. The prayers and co-opera-
ton of the membership are invok-
ed in order that results may be
achieved.
Rev. w. E. Greenfield, pastor of
Silverbrook M. E. Church, Will
mington, Del, is to be here Mon
day to assist the first week of the

ton and power, and we confidently
believe that his coming will be
blest of God.
If there is no preaching at Grace
M. E. Church, South, tomorrow, ow-
ing to the absence of the pastor,
who is at Conference, wish, on
behalf of Zion M. E. Church, to ex-
tend a cordial invitation to the

us, saying. with Peter, "such as,
have, give I thee" ssss@
