The Peach Crop.

1t is now apparent, as the season advances,
that the peach crop has not been injured as
much as was at first anticipated. In some lu-
cates the crop has been beReftted rather than
injured by the frostS, for if all the fruit had re.
NAMED on the trees and come to perfection, it
must have been inferior, if, indeed, the trees
could have sustained the great weight. This
has been the case in Cecil county, Maryland,
particularly, and, in fact, on the most or the
entire of the Eastern Shore. We arc inclined
10 think that the orchards bordering on the
Delaware River and Bay have sustained the
greatest injuries. In this section the early va.
rOIies were severely hurt, in some orchards
nearly all destroyed, but there will be fair
yield Of the other varieties, which will no
doubt handsomely remunerate the growers.

Accident from a Gun.

Mr.. franklin Collins, near Collins Beach,
went out on Tuesday for the purpose of shoot
ing crows, and in lifting or dragging the gun,
accidentally discharged it, the contents passing
through both the outer thigh and calf of the
left leg, near the bone in each, causing a Sc
we're but not dangerous wound. The attending
physician, DR.. Fisler, thinks that if the load
had passed as near the bone on the inner instead
of the outer part of the leg, he must have lost
the use of it.
ANoTHER-A singular and fatal accident,
says the Dia. State, occurred in Rehoboth Hd.,
Sussex county, one day last week. A lad
aamed Davidson had gun that he wished 10
unload, and placing i: on fence for rest
fired it off. The gun being heavily charged
Kicked back with great force, and striking him
in the stomach, killed him instantly.

There has been no serious collision, however,
between the belligerent Powers. The Emperor
Napoleon remained at Alessandria, which he
had made his headquarters. lie was busily en-
gagged with his generals in arranging strategeti-
cal plans for the campaign. The Austrians,
who had advanced from Stradclla TO Voghera,
had again retired to Casteggio. A body of
Pledmontese cavalry had fallen in with de-
tachment of Austrian hussars and made some
prisoners. Austria has recognized the neutrali-
ty of the States Of the Church. The bridge at
Stella has been threatened by the Austrans,
who have workmen assembled there and at
other points on the river PO, the waters of
which were very high in consequence of the
late rains. The women and children of the
country are compelled. by the brutal Austrlans,
to labor at the works. Several mayors Of the
Sandman towns, who refused to comply with
the Austrian demand for contributions, have
been arrested. Four Austrian merchant YES
sells have been captured by the French squad
ron. The inactivity of the troops is accounted
for by the rain continuing to fall incessantly.-

Sentenced.

The Court at New Castle sentenced the fol-
lowing persons last Saturday morning:
George w. Buchanan, convicted of man.
slaughter, TO pay fine of $1,000 and costs,
and TO be imprisoned five years.
Thomas Mccoy, convicted of manslaughter,
tOpay fine of $1,000 and costs, and to be i'm
prisoned five years.
Samuel Turner, convicted of rape, to be
hung on Friday, the 26th day of August, be-
tween the hours of l0 a. IN. and , p. m.
Joseph Hayes, convicted of passing counter
felt money, TO pay fine of $500 and costs, to
stand in the pillory, to be imprisoned one year,
and to wear conv.cl's jacket for the same Pc
Rod after his term expires.
The Republican states that Mccoy and Hayes
did not appear to be in the least affected By the
sentence, but Buchanan and Turner seemed to
fully realize and appreciate the position in
which they stood.
The sentence of Mr.. Buchanan is considered
exceedingly severe, in this section, even by
those who were most eager for his conviction.
He has the sympathies of almost the entire
community.

Summary of News.

- Mr.. McLane's last dispatches from
Mexico are by no means encouraging, and the
indications seem to foreshadow his return a no
distant day, leaving the main objects of the
mission unaccOmplished. None Of the other
Powers have recognized Juarez, notwithstand-
ing the repeated assurances that the British
minister would do so, and the French would Be
compelled to follow the example. Neither has
advanced step in that direction, and nothing
has occurred TO give different phase to their
diplomatic relations.
The report of Santa Annals return is one of
the stories periodically revived fer partizan
effect. lie is the great bugbear to Mexico, of
which there are not u few limitations in the
United States about election times.
- The frontier Texans are bound to break
up the Indian reserves. On the Sd instant,
party of fifty, under Capt. Baylor. entered the
upper reserve and killed fifteen Indians, and
then fled. Capt. King, with 100 United States
Dragons and 100 mounted Indians started IN
pursuit four or five days atterward! Great ex-
ctement prevailed. and the .'war" was con-
sidered opened The people called on the U.
s. officers TO resign, which they had better do if
they cannot display more efficiency in protect
ing the prosecuted red men from the blood
thirsty pale faces.
0F We regret to learn, says the Denton
Journal, that the fly has made its appearance
in many of the wheat fields in different parts of

are of serious character.

jor Van Horn had desperate fight with the
| Northern Cananches Oh tho Fork of the Ar
kansas river, May 18th. Forty Indians were
killed and thirty-six taken prisoners. Of the
U. S. troops two soldiers were killed and sew.

Shocking Accident OH the Del. Railroad.

foot and ankle were crushed almost to a Jelly {;
the bones of the leg were also broken high up,
and the fingers of his right hand badly crushed
