states that Major Raybold, who owns
a splendid peach orchard near Della

Yorkerth otherday, to deliver TO- 900
baskets of peaches. One thousand
of them have already been delivered,
and the balance will be forthcoming

Important for Farmers.

How to prevent the ravages Of rats in grain,

standing. We can never exterminate them to
such degree as not to apprehend their incur
sions, for horde of these troublesome visiters
will often make their appearance when we least

that provision best suited to their nature is found

From St. CrOix.

We regret to learn from Capt Hill,
of the brig William Thatcher, at this
port from st. Croix, that the island is
suffering much from the effects of long
continued drought, which has destroy
ed the prospects of a good sugar crop.
Last season only about six thousand
hhds. were raised, and the next will
not even equal that. The planters
are very much embarrassed, and the
Government thas even had to purchase
five or six hundred hogsheads of corn

New Mode of Making Bricks.

A late English paper says that discovery
has been made at Birmingham, which bids fair
10 be attended with important results to the in
terests of architecture. The novelty of the
process consists in the clay being dried, ground
TO powder, and submitted to pressure in metal
lie moulds, until the PARTICLES cohere together.
As there is no water in combination with the
clay, no drying process is necessary; conse-
quenily the articles made by this method are
ready TO be fired or burned as soon as they
leave the machine. The brck-press is worked
by hydraulic pumps. giving about 800 tons
pressure, producing the adhesion and cohesion.

Meeting of Lord AshbnrtOn and Louis
PhiIlipe.

la The year 1898, Lord A. with one or two
friends, paid visit TO the Falls of Niagara.
Upon their return they stopped to view the
Falls of the Genesee. II was laie when they
had finished their examinations; and as there
was no house in the neighborhood, they en-
camped out for the night They were some
what fearful that the Indians might try TO plum
der their camp, and they kept good lookout.
In The early par, Of The night they heard rust
ling among the leaves and cracking among
The dry branches; but whether they proceeded
from the tread of Indians or wild beasts, they
could not tell. The footsteps were however
evidently approaching their tent. They kept
strict, silent and anxious watch, for some view
or sound that should reveal the character of the
visitors. Soon they distinguished human voices,
and saw the shadowy outline of human forms.
As the party came nearer they heard them con-
rersing in French; and in few minutes Lord
Ashburlon gave Louis PHILIPPE and his compan-
ions cordial welcome 10 his tent! They had
before met amidst the artificial splendor of Eu-
ropean Couris-and now, surrounded by the
sublime and stupendous natural scenery of the
American wilderness. Rochester Post.

A Fair offer.

Borrowing newspapers is crying evil in
large cities, but there are greater ones in the
Western country. Mrs Clavers, in her amusing
work on manners, &C., in Illinois, says the peo-
pie there borrow every thing. They look upon
each others household goods as common stock.
In one neighborhood, she says, every sort OF
food had been borrowed, and kitchen utensils
used, and even tooth brushes were passed abou.
among families. At last some molherless wife
went to borrow a neighbor's infant. This was
too much. The indignant mother caught up The
tongs and pursued the errand girl, declaring in
emphatic tones, "I'll lend any thing, but suOn't
lend my baby"

SIXTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.


At 4 o'clock on Friday morning the Cunard

sailed on the 9th inst.
The weather In England became very fa-
vorabe for the crops on the 23d ult., and an
abundant harvest was expected. The corn
markets were much depressed London pa
per says
This stale OF things have already had BEN
tficial effect on the trade and commerce OF the
country, and should the fine weather continue,
there is little doubt but that the starvation and
distress which have so extensively prevailed
throughout the country, will be known only in
ahe remembrance of calamity that has passed
away.
The arrival in London Of an accredited agent
ON The United States government, for the
purpose of contracting a loan of twelve millions
Of dollars, is not liked; and it is confidently as
serted in well-informed quarters that he will
wholly fail in the object of his mission.
The favorable effects upon trade which had
teen anticipated from the new Tariff Law,
have, il is also said, been realized The ac-
counts from most of the great seats of manufac-
lure and commerce speak of improvement. This
is particularly the case in London, Leeds, Bris-
tol, and Manchester. In Scotland, 100, there
are marks of revival; while the harvest every
