Corn 15a20 cts. per dozen; tomatoes 10 cts.
per half pack ; cabbages 5al5 cts. per head ;
Lima beans 20a25 cts. per quart, &c. Peaches
are coming in, in quantities, and sell, according
to quality, from 10 to 20 cts. per quarter peck.

their presence,) usprinkled with rosy light the

called from the number of times he has been
moved during the war to prevent his being
captured, is a thorough bred animal?his
father being the Hon. J. M. Botts', celebrated
"Revenue" and his mother the famous Moun
;ain Maid. Refugee is now in training and will
be entered for some of the fall races.
The vexed question of "where watermelons
should be landed," was definitely settled yes
terday, by Mayor Ware, who decided that as
the Quartermaster's Department had rented
UiUCt illii held possession of the wharves for
meriy used for receiving watermelons and fish,
and as he had no legal right to compel the
present occupants to supply gratuitous wharf
age, watermelons should be landed wherever
;heir owners thought proper.
