LIVE REPUBLICAN,. This IS the
name of new paper just started al
Richland Centre, by I. 5. HAzELTINE
& j. II. IVAGGoTER, and, as its name
indicates, advocates the interests Of
the Republican party. An unpleas-
ant olitical difference between Mr..
HAzaLrIEE and Mr. NALwoRTH Of the
OJscrger, has brought into existence
this new paper, and we are sorry TO
see the bitterness manifested by each
towards the other IN the columns Of
their respective journals. One paper
5 al the party in Richland county
can support, and We prophecy that
without other aid, one of them must
starve. The O5ssrrer has ever heen
true to the principles Of the party
and ought to be sustained, whatever
becomes Of its new neighbor.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE MARKHr-Tba Of
ierlhgs OF fruits IN our market have been far

spring was very unfavorable for fruit and
the crop has fallen short c. nsiderabIy in auan

crop, Is lar inferior - the crops Of past sea.
sons. The peach orchards, OF which there
were many in this District, welding as fine
irult as has been at any ..mc offered in the
District markets have not yielded this season.
and the mal ket Is supplied from the orchards
OF Maryland and Virginia. and the prices are
hlgn. W watermelons and eanteloupes the
yield this season is without a parallel in for
mer years. The quantity is renarkahIe INT
the quality, though air, is not equal TO the
melon crop OF past years, which the growers
attribute TO the mixing Of the seeds of varieties
The market is supplied from the farms of
Maryland and Virginia principally, though
many nne melons are obtained fir ON the farms
IN the District The principal and best source
OF supply is Accomac county Va from whence
large cargoes of melons are shipped daily
10 this city. This season the receipts at the
@hart In one day exceeded 10000 melons,
winch, added 10 the quantity received by
wagon and rail, afforded an abundant supply
uEul the next days receipts. The canteoupes,
ION me farms OF the nearer counties of
maryland and Virginia, are abundant and OF
tAcell'nt quality. The abundance greatly
anects me prices, and fine canteloupes have
peer purchased this season at a halt less than
COST OF similar melons last season. Sweet DO
tatoes continue TO be comparatively scarce.
these are brought from Accomac Co. Va

ing. The main supply for the fall and win
ter Is obtained from distant States There are
