Peach Crop.

We are informed by our friend, Doctor Lari-
son, an experienced peach grower, that the pros
pect for peach crop in this county the coming
season; is very promising. The cold Of two or
three days in january, killed a portion of the
bloom, but greater part is in a healthy condi-
ton. Should the coming summer be favorable,
Hunterdon will give an increased yield OF many
thousand baskets, and in all probability, double
the quantity ofany season heretofore This coun-
ty bids fair with her unnumbered thousands Of
trees, to soon become the greatest peach growing
county in the U. S. The adaptedness of the
soil, and facilities for market, are so superior,
that the growers Of this delicious fruit show a
determination to improve their advantages. S.
Mercer Co. has long been foremost as the peach
growing county of N. ]. But with the present
number of trees already set out, Hunterdon will
far surpass both in quality and thrift.

THE EFFECTS OF ToBAcco.-The pupils of the
Polytechnic School in Paris have recently fur
nshed some curious statistics bearing on tobacco.
Dividing the young gentlemen at that college
into two groups-the smokers and non-smokerS
it is shown that the smokers have proved them
selves in the various competitive examinations
far inferior to the Others. Not only in the
examinations on entering the school are the
smokers in lower rank, but in the various
ordeals that they have to pass through in year
the average rank of the smokers had constantly
fell, and that considerable, while the men who did
not smoke enjoyed cerebral atmosphere of the
clearest kind

A CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA We learn that If has
been recently discovered that, when used in a
Meerschaum, Pimento forms a delightful SUBJ
stitute for tobacco. ItOis more fragrant and less
expensive, and is said to be sure and certain
remedy in all cases of that "remorse of a guilty
stomach dyspepsia. Pimento smoking is also
highly recommended in. humid and close atmos-
pheres, and during the prevalence of cholera and
other epidemic diseases it cannot be too freely
INDUCED in. The pimento is slightly bruised
and the pipe charged in the usual manner.
Some persons mix the berry with tobacco, but
when it is taken as remedy it is thought best
to smoke it alone.
If it be true that this aromatic tropical pro-
duction is, when substituted for tobacco, sure
cure for the complaint SO prevalent in this coun-
try, its use must be greatly enhanced and who
knows but that the narcotic fumes of the weed y
may be soon superseded by the sweet-scented
perfume of burning "al-spice 2"

The Concert.

The concert given last evening by our Band
was complete success as was the acknowledged
phrase used by all who were present. The pro-
gramme was one selected with great care, and as
general thing, was of that character calculated
to please. Among the musical gems enumerated
on the programme, was one designated as hav-
ing been arranged by member of the Band,
which was truly the reward of musical genius
and taste, and received the Acknowledgement
from the audience as well selected contribution
for their pleasure. Among the greatest hits Of
the evening, was the appearance of Mr.. Chas.
Gown, in some brilliant pieces, on the piano
forte. To say they were well executed, would
not be doing sufficient justice to the young ar
fist, who has given to the piano what remains
of his heart. The hall was well filled with an
appreciative audience, although it was not as
large as should have been expected on this oc-
casion, of display of native musical talent,
which we are pleased to state, is greatly on the
increase. We have never passed more pleas
ant evening, and trust that all who were present,
viii not be backward in sending to the members,
their compliments for the entertainment.
