The scene of the meeting was a short dis tance from the line of the Maryland arid Delaware Railroad. Three shots were fired without injury to either of the principals: after which the entire party left the ground. The parties returned to Marydel separately,' The Bennett party secured a conveyance to Clayton, Mr. Bennett himself ap pearing nervous and - depressed, and subsequently took a special train for Wilmington and Philadelphia. The May party went to Slaughters ita-1 tion, thence to Dover, and from there to Philadelphia in this morning's train. A Mr. Tilghman was with Mr. May, but the names of the others presens ai. tueunet oivbdoi yei oeen ascertained. The party paid liberally, for all the service rendered them; also for silence. It is believed that both' men are satisfied, and--that there will be no further, hostile meeting. Mr. Bennett and his friends will leave for New York at midnight. The Legislature.

' - ; I - We copy the following borrible account torn a correspondent of tbe Nor folk Virginian writing from this State: "About two weeks ago a negro preacher named . Riley, residing in Martin county, near Hill's Ferry, left his home together with hia wife to attend church, leaving his two-children, a boy of nve years or age and a girl a year younger, in the house, with no other companion than aJarge dog belonging to the boy. During their ab sence the girl had occasion to crawl under the building in search of something- she had left there, when the dog, which was lying under the house at the time, made a violent attacK upon ner, citing and severe ly injuring her in several places. The boy, who was up stairs, hearing the cries of his sister, ran to her assistance, whed the ani mal turned -upon him, seized mm oy tne throat, and after a severe struggle suc ceeded in killing him. When the parents of the children returned .they found the dog lying by the side of his dead master, engaged in eating the flesh from the child's head and face, and when they attempted to drive him away he was so savage that they were obliged to shoot him. ; THE OI I NEW ADVEBTlSEmENTS.

That broken, pavement between the City Hall and the corner of Chesnut street produces much hard swearing, and somebody is responsible for the sin thus committed. ' Rising, followed by falling bar romeier, westerly winds, shifting to warmer southerly or southwesterly, and generally clear weather; are the indications for this section to-day. j The condition of Fourth street is such, in rainy weather, that the cross ings from Chesnut street to Boney Bridge ehould he cleared for the accommodation ; ; I of quite a number of four congregations who have to cross it on the Sabbath- day, going to and from their respective places of worship. i We were pleased to notice upon the j streets of onr city, yoetorday, Rev, James W.

The residence of Mr. Jacob Weill, on Front, between Mulberry and Red Cross streets, was entered a few nights since, but fortunately the thief was not very success ful in. carrying out his scheme of robbery, He managed to get into Mr. W.'s room which had been locked, and carried that gentleman's pants and vcBt into the yard where he proceeded with his investigations. but found only about thirty cents to reward him for the risk he had run of furnishing Coronor Hewlett with a job.

Rowe had been! noticed in the store just- previously,- but had left when it was discovered that the cheese was missing, and suspicion naturally centred upon him as the thief. . Joshua Meareq, the colored porter, was instructed to look out for the fellow, and soon after saw him past ing near the corner of Front and Market 3 - -, , I . streets. It happened that Officer Davis was standing near at . the time and Meares requested ' him to ' keep ah i eye thejsuspecled individual. The latter on turned to Messrs. Myers & Co,'s store lowed by Meares and the Officer, the latter a short distance in the fear The officer said nothing to Rowe, but as soon as he saw him in the store; he hurriedly left Meares was sent to bring him back, and as soon as he returned to the store he com menced trembling violently. . Officer Davis asked him what was the matter with him, and! finally told him that if he knew any- thing about the cheese he had better say so. He stoutly denied any knowledge of it, but the fit of the "shakes", with which he was so suddenly seized was very: conf vincing evidence of his guilt, to say no thing of other circumstances pointing in that! direction. He was finally taken to the Guard House and locked up, and we learn dt he subsequently confessed that he had n the demijohn of cider. j " Upon searching the person of thepris onei', a newspaper addressed to Capt J. K Leg;ett was found by Officer Davis, which led o an investigation and it Was finally asce rtainod that Itowe ad formerly been in tlie employ of, Capt. Lcggett, who dis charged him on account of his proclivity for taking things that did not belong to him) and still further investigation revealed the fact that Capt. L. had been missing let ters j and papers at intervals, dating from Rowe's . discharge from his employment Enquiry was thereupon made at the post- office, when Col. Brink stated that the boy had been in the habit of calling for Capti Ii.'s jmail. He said lhalTI?oweTiaarrdrmer-i ly had a"key to the letterbox, but had lat4 tcrly made the excuse that he had lost it when the mail was delivered to him thro' the general delivery, the postofflce officials thinking it was all right. Letters had been delivered to him yesterday morning, but Officer Davis failed to find any on his per- son. Thufwill be a case for the United States Courts, and a warrant has probably ere this been served on Rowe, charging him with mail robbery. - , i - : -j'.; .
