CRoPs-It 10 stated there will be a very light
crop Of peaches In NewJersey this year; and in
the vicinity of Delaware city the crop, it il oil
legged, will be only about half the usual guam

as many will be sent the present season from MI
appearances. From SO cents to 81 il expscted
/ to be realized per basket, and the Reybolds, ii
is reported, are unwilling to engage in advance
even at 81 a basket. The early fruit will be in

"A WAR.-Voltaire thus expresses himself on the
n subject Of war: ga hundred thousand mad ami
mails, whose heads are covered with hats, ad.
vance to kill or be killed by the like number o.
their fellow mortals, covered with turbans- BY
this strange procedure, they want, at best, tx
decide whether tract Of land, to which none o.
them lays any claim, shall belong to certain
man whom they call Sultan, or to another
whom they call Gar, neither Of whom ever saw
or will see, the spot SO furiously contested for
I and very few of those creatures, who thus mu
tuaHy butcher each other, ever beheld the ami
NAL for whom they cut each others throats
4 From time immemorial this has been the way o
P mankind almost over all the earth. What al
= excess of madness is this! And how deseryedly
might Superior Being crush to atoms Thu
earthly ball, the bloody nest of such ridiculou
murderers''

~ Dull TIMES IN LoNDoN.-The London Tim
gives lagubffous description of dull week
the great Metropolis;
If Londoners were as suicidal race as Fren,
writer's describe them, the mortality of the m

shops would be besieged for the last new poiso
the landing places on the Thames would have
be occupied by policemen, and watermen won
