LARGE PEACIIEs.-Nlr. &. w. Wright,
OH Friday last, presented US with basket of
fine peaches, the finest we have seen the
present season; measuring 8 and 10 inches
in circumference. They are of the frecsone
species, and as luscious and tempting to the
palate as they are inviting to the eye
These peaches were grown on the White Hall
farm, situated on the Elklon and Andora
plank read. about S miles from town, the
property of Daniel Arbucke, Esq. The
orhard Of Mr.. ArUucklc is small, containing
about 70 trees. but all of select and choice
varieties. Fifteen bushels have been sold
from the orchard the present season in the
Philadelphia maket at 81 so per basket, a
strong nducement to culivators of fruit TO
select the largest and best variety. When
Mr.. Wright moved on the farm he found the
trees in a state of decline, but by clearing
them of worms and putting a little guano
abon. the roots he succeeded in restoring the
orchard again to its original thrifty condi-
ton.
