SMYRSA, July IL, 1854.
Mr.. EDITOR Having just returned from
trip to the above named place, we thought it
would not be amiss to furnish you with a few
notes by the way" which, if deemed fitted
for the Times, you are at liberty to publish.
A grand party being in Contemplation on the
10th instant, at the Beach, of course, the
morning of that day was anxiously looked for
by the participants in its pleasures.
As the previous night passed gently along the
shores Of time, the morning dawned-but the
magnanlmous sun shone not its dazzling face
nor shed glowing ray upon us-all was dull
and lowering: What gloom was now thrown
over many happy countenance! Disappoint-
ment was considered by many inevitable, but,
as every arrangement for fine party had been
made, it was soon determined that such should
not be the case,
The "signs" of the weather looking more
favorable, about nine o'clock we started for the
Beach, where we arrived at halfpast tcn-
About twelve o'clock, after anxiously waiting
for thalr arrival, we greeted our Milford friends
'at their coming - the ladies particularly at
tractcd Onr attention-they were so nice: in.
deed, we think that the town of Milford car
justly boast of having the best looking ladies in
the State. Next came the company from
Dover, who made great display--in the way
| OF gehtlemen-but, we regret to say, that we die
not notice single lady from the capital. We
cannot account for this in any other way, thar
by surprising that the ladies' were all out O
town, or thai their hearts were taken by other,
-much to the discontinue Of the gentlemen
referred to, If the latter be correct. ,ce nit,
'em--poor fellows, WE PITY 'EM! The LITTLE
village of Camden was well represented. We
only saw four persons from Smyrna thus, i
will be seen, that this town-the second laroes
in the State-had very SnlaH turn out Thi
may be accounted for when we take into con
sidcrdtou that, here, the " Young American
spirit is not yet fully developed beins
too much ''Old Fogyisn" still fixed in tn,
citgcns of our town.
Every thing passed off well, and all SCENE,
pleased with the enjoyment of the day=-noth
ing having occurred to mar their happiness.
Great praise is due to the gentlemen of Mil
ford for the energy and perseverance manifesto,
by them IN getting up the party; and we ar,
much indebted TO Mr.. Beckett for the kind an,
hospltable manner in which we were entertain
ed.
! How pleasant it would be if we could hav,
similar parties often! Can we not have auothe

Future Prices.

A "Practical Farmer " in the last Mark Lane
Express. closes a lengthy article on the above
subject as follows; Farmers may for once de-
pend upon having the corn trade for the next
year very much in their own hands. There
never was time when the UoyLd's stock of
gram was so nearly EXHAUSTED and one great
source OF supply--ls shut from lls by the war.
Why, then should farmers hurry their next
harvest stock to market? Prices must inevi-
tably be good they will only be reasonable and
cautious there can be no just cause of alarm
Let every farmer take time. Let tho ainr be
to keep up fair, steady, regular supply, and lie
will receive fair price throughout the year.
PROSPECTS OF THE SEASON.-The
frequent rains and cool weather have given the
fields an unusual richness; on old fields grass
was considerably winter-killed, and the crop
will be rather light, notwithstanding the favora-
BILE weather; on fields more recently laid down,
the prospect for full crop is favorable Winter
rye, and the few pieces of winter wheat we have
seen, look well, Oats and barley also promise
well now. Corn has generally come well where
1t has not been scorched by coming in contact
with the guano. We have heard of good
many acres to be replanted from this cluse.-
The grain must not come in contact with the
guano, even though the latter is mingled with
tour or hive parts OfiOam. Nor should the guanO
be In mass below the kernels, because wher
the roots strike down into it, the guano is quito
sure to kill it. When guano is applied to the
hill 1T should be scattered over surface one OF
two feet square. Potatoes are lip well and gen.
orally look finely.
There is good premise of a fair fruit crop,

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE-A very destructive fire
occurred IN Philadelphia on Wednesday night,
by which the National Theatre, the Chinese
Museum and large number of stores and
other property on Chestnut street were burned
The loss sustained is variously estimated at
from 100000 to S5O0.OOO. The fire originated
IN the Theatre about 10 O'Clock during the per-
Torrance Of Pgtnam, and was caused by wad
falling in the carpenters shop, which was fired
from one of the guns.
