GIVE cut the following from the
Baltimore Sun, which has taken part of it
from the Delaware Gazette. The orchard
referred to as from u to Ii years old, is that
Of Mr.. r. Semans, an account of which we
published some time ago.
The PEACH CRop IN Cecil CouyrY.-It is
stated that the peach crop in the vicinity of
Cecllton, Cecil county, Nd, bids fair to be
the most extensive ever raised in that section
The trees, in some instances, are so full that,
had there been no Fl, st at all, they could not
have sustained the weight Of the fruit The
light frost OF the spring is therefore considered
to have proved beneficial rather than other
wise. The Wilmington Gazette SAYS;
The orchards Of Anthony Reybold and
Joseph Biggs have the prospect of yielding
handsome returns. Mr.. Rcybold has about
GOO or 700 acres in trees in Maryland. lie
has set out 1900 trees the present year,
We have heard Of numerous other orchards
that bid fair to Yield abundantly in the vicinity
OF Ceci!ton. 1t appears the peach trees will
live and bear great many more years in the
country bordering on the Elk river and the
rivers emplyirg into it, tEan on the Delaware.
Trees are now in good bearing condition in
the vicinity of Cecilton, that are from u to l6
years old. We have heard of one gentleman
there whose orchard has been planted fourteen
years, and it is now in full bearing. Three
years in succession this gentleman cleared
S6UO TO the acre off his trees.

The STRONGEST MAN IN THE World ~
PRoSTRATED.- DR.. George b. Winship, said
to bca man ofcxtrao, ordinary physical powers,
made two attempts in Boston the other even
ing to lecture for the first time before an
audience but on each occasion became so
tremnlous and faint as to te compelled to
take his seat, after ntc'lng a few words. -
This strong man, who, before the public gaze,
became as weak almost as an infant, is thus
described by the Atlas:
lie is twenty-five years Of age, five feet
seven inches in height, and weighs one hun
dred and forty three pounds. He graduated
at Cambridge five years ago. lie can raise
barrel Of flour from the floor on to his shout
ders : can false himself with either little
finger till his chin is half a foot above it can
raise two hundred POUNDS with either little
finger can put up II dumb bell of al pounds &;
exercises daily W ilh two dumb. bells weighing
one hundred pounds each. which he can raise
alternately above his head can lift with the
hands 926 pounds dead weight, without the
aid of straps or belts of any kind. Topham
the strongest man in England, could raise
only $50 pounds IN the same way, and the
celebrated Belgian giant could lift only 500.

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION. The full, vote
of Virginia had not reached Richmond up till
Thursday, but sufficient returns had been
received to determine the result in the state
The Richmond IIhig of Thursday states that
in 1870 counties Lclchcr was ahead 4 437
leaving u counties to be heard from which
gave SO majority against Wise.
In 1856 Buchanan had a majority in the
state of 90 ,54S over Fillmore; and Wise, the
present Governor, was elected over Flournoy
by .O,le0. On the one majority we find a
locofoco loss of 25 900 and Wisc's majority
is more than half melted away, at time too
When so little was expected. The result
shows that South and North the rotten
Buchanan party is "tumbling to pieces. -
and gives an earnest of what may bcexpected
i'll the great coming campaign, when the
opposition, fully united, shall come down on
the nmions who are ruling the country but
to impovcrish it, with all avalanche like tina,
of 1910.
This result in Virginia shows the locofocc
cry of Abolition" Black Rcpulicanism.'

Let us pity those poor rich men who live
