THE PEAcH CRoP.-We learn from Peach
growers that in various orchards the yield will
average about third or a half crop. This,
they say, is preferable, as a limited quantity al
large prices is better for them than large guam
titles at limited prices. The orchards of Messrs.
Appleton, Moore aud others, of APPOINTMENTS
creek-the greatest peach-growing district IN
the State--will yield something over half a
crop. In the neighborhOOd of Delaware City,
the crop, it is said, will be failure, as is un
uvoidably the case when they have long been
cultivated in the same place. More than any
other fruit. they require new soil--the old ap-
parenlly acting as poison by producing the
yellOws, &c. The steamer BALBOA will, no
doubt, do heavy business in freighting peaches
the present season. 81 s4!".|t '.'..

the final summons

the Rind friend, the wlse adviser, and the devo

the bereaved parents and friends, we would re-
mind them that their loss is his eternal gain, for
Nathaniel is now an Israelite indeed, in whom
there is no guile.

The ART OF WRITING, we are pleased to
see, is highly appreciated BY our citizens. who,
in availing themselves of the services of Messrs.
Sherbrooke g. Bro, are fast attaining to that
degree of perfection, in the easy and graceful
handling of the pen, which master-preceptors
alone eau impart. A class of young ladies has
been organized the present week--meeting
daily at III o'clock, a. m.,-and the scholars,
in The total. number about forty-including the
gentlemen, of course. Ample time is yet af-
forded others who wish to receive instruction,
aud we hsve no doubt that both the classes will
be considerably enlarged.

heavy showers of rain which visited US on
Monday afternoon and evening, heavy flash
Of lightning (and the only one that seemed
near struck the dwelling-house of Mrs. Mary
OfFley, tearing off weather-bOard:ng, bat doing
no serious injury. AT the same time, it struck
and scattered pile OF shingles in the lumber
yard of VanGasken & Voshell, and also struck
the lghlning-rods attached to the houses of A.
SlOckly, ESQ.,, and Mr.. Quillen, each about a
hundred yards from Mrs. Offiey's and the lum-
ber-yard. Enough for one streak!'
