The Cranberry Crop.

The crop is estimated at forty thousand
.;arrels, raised mostly in Ocean, Cape Cod
and Burlington COMMITTEES New Jersey. The
crop elsewhere out of New Jersey is esti-
mated at 10000 barrels, making the whole
crop in the country at 100000 barrels, OF
100000 bushels, valued at Sl,500,000. The
crop in Ocean county alone is put down at
l6, 900 barrels, and was raised mostly from
land which was formerly deemed worth.
less The Ocean Courier says; sit is u
beautiful sight to see fine meadows, which
few years ago were impcnetrable swamps,

den with fruit and covered with one or two
hundred men, women, and children, gather

all, may be seen the owner, who few

The Lash and Piiiory.

SHOCKING SCENES AT GEORGETOWN, ON SAT-
rRDAY-uNrsuAL BRUTALIfIEs.
A correspondent at Georgetown, Sussex county,
communicates the following statement relative to
the whipping of the persons convicted at the re-
cent term Of Court.
lie says The whipping of Thomas Oliver,
the negro who plead guilty to assaults on two
white women was entrusted to the hands of Jim
Wingate n notorious character, well known for
his fendish hatred to the black people. The pun
ishment was GO lashes Thirty Of these were Gin in.
iiicted in the morning. The instrument en-
ployed was cowhide, which was used with such
fury that the blood flowed at every cut causing
the fellow to utter me most pitcous screams. Ii
is even asserted that some person held his feet te
keep him from giving way to his agony, whit
the Sheriff looked on with complaccncy. Tho
man was again brought out In the afternoon, and
the lashes were reversed, across his back imakine
cross bars. The wounds were afterwards washed
with brine. 1t is declared to be the most horrit
| punishment ever inflicted in the State, and the
shrieks and strokes Of the lash were heard at
distance Of nearly $50 yards. The better class o
| Democrats declare themselves disguised. There
is no doubt that Oliver will additionally be con
victed, at another Court of rape, for which, Il
being capital offence, he will be hung. Thi
torture is therefore mere preliminary to his ex
ecution.
|. On the same day, j. P. Jones, (whitc) convicted
of forgery was brought out for punishment he be
ing sentenced to stand in the pillory an hour, be
| side Imprisonment, fine, wearing a convict
jacket, &c. lie seemed almost frenzied at TIL
thought Of the degradation he was to undergo
and begged the baiiifs to shoot him. BY franti
exertious he succeeded in breaking away and raj
some one hundred yards, when he fell from ex
huastion. Hs was taken back and underwent th
punishment

How no MAKE True FARMERS. There is
an old story which runs somewhat thus-
A well TO do farmer and his wife were dis
cussng the future of their four sons. ''What
shall we make out of them anxiously in
quired the mother. g Well" replied the
old man, ''as Jim is cute and tricky, |
think we had better make lawyer OF him.
John is more steady, and seems to be cut
out for preacher: Tom will make doctor;
but as to Ben, he is the fool of the family, so
| think we will keep him at home and make
farmer ofhim." This, it appears, was per-
fecily satisfactory to the old lady.

Work SusrESDED.-Work on the Delaware Il
Maryland Railroad has stopped from some cause.
The road now runs to Ridgey. IL will take nine
teen more miles to reach Easton.- WILMINGTON

The Clayton Herald says it has :. the best rea-
sons for knowing that the work is progressing
satisfactorily, that ii is not suspended, has not
been, neither is it likely to be-" 1t may be spro-
crossing satisfactorily" to some parties, but yet
there Is not now anything doing, nor has there
been anything done for several weeks ut or near
Ridgcly, the present terminus Of the road We
make this statement upon the authority of gem
tleman who visits Ridgely daily. He further
says that four or five men are grading down about
Hillsborough, and 1t may be in view Of this that
the Herald says that the work is progressing
satisfactorily"
The Commercial well says that the road runs to
Ridgely But now that the road runs to Ridgely,
| the one great problem to our citizens Is, why
don't the cars run there too. II certainly would
be to the advantage OF the Railroad company, as
well as to our entire community. The reason
we hear assigned is, that they positively refuse tc
make Ridgely station unless three thousand dol
lars worth OF stock is taken by our citizens, thu
Land Company having agreed to take that amour
and failed to do it. We do not know this to b,
| the fact but shall content ourselves with II unit
| denied. We therefore extend to the company

ment, If false, and to let the people know tht
reason the cars do not run to Ridgely.-Dentoi

NEW SYSTEM OF HoRsE-S HoEING. Iu
Paris, a change is about to take place in
the system Of horse-shocing. A mechanic
has announced the idea of altogether dis
embarrassing the hoof of the awkward APP
pendagc Of IA shoe, which not only impcdes
the movements, but also deprives the ami
nal OF certain amount Of steadincss and
elasticity. BY his system he does not cut
the hooi, but leaves it just as nature forms
it. He merely protects it against violent
blows and accidents, and against the wear
and tear of the Paris pavement, by inco-
sing it in thin circle of iron, which wards
ii from danger without COMPRISING it. In
this way the horse stands upon n healthy
member instead Of one which is being con
stautly wounded by the iron and knife o
the smith. Not only does this simple in
vention spare much time and money, bu
also acts as a preventive against the va
rious diseases of the foot.

Cbeap Food for Animals.


A correspondent writing from Springfield,
Burlington County, N. j., to the German
town Telegraph, thinks that hay and oats
are the most expensive food on which
horses and other animals can be fed and rec
ommends roots as the best substitute, though
corn and fodder are cheaper than hay. The
farmers of Sussex County in this State feed
stock with raising no hay and but little
grain except corn. We are not prepared
to say whether this is better Tor the horses
or not, but so far as our observation extends
it does not appear to be better for the farms
or the farmers. This however is undoubted-
ly. the result of other causes besides extern
sive corn culture SO we give the views OF the
correspondent above alluded to for what
they are worth. Some Of our readers may
be tempted to experiment little on the
matter.
He says, an acre of ground retained ex-
pressly for hay yields on an average not
more than one and one-half tons of vegeta-
BILE food; an equal space planted with car
rots or ruta bagas will yield from ten to
twenty tons, say fifteen tons, which is by no
means high average, and has often been
attained without any extraordinary cultiya-
ton. It has been ase ertained by careful ex-
pertinent, that three working horses, fifteen
and one-half hands high, consume hay AT
the rate of two hundred and twenty -four
pounds per week, or five tons and one thou
sand and forty eight pounds per annum, be-
side one and one-half bushels of oats pei
week, or seven:y-eight per anum. BY q
repetition Of the same experiment it was
found that an unworked horse consumed
hay at the rate Of four and one-quarter tons
per annum
The produce therefore Of nearly six acres
of land is necessary to support working
horse for one year; but half an acre o
carrots at six hundred bushels per acre, will
the addition OF chopped straw, while tn
season for feeding them lasts, will do as we
ii not better. These thing do not admit {
doubt, for they have been the subject Of e.
act trial as some of agricultural frienl
can testify.
1t has also been proved that the value {
one bushel of corn, together with the foddt
upon which it grew, will keep a horse i
good working order for n week. An acl
planted with corn, and yielding sixty busl
els, will be ample to keep good sized hor
in working order for one year.
Let the farmer then consider whether it
better to maintain horse on the produ
of half an acre of ruta baga or carrots,
upon the produce of an acre of corn; or Il
other hand, upon the hay and grain fro
six acres OF land-for it will require S
acres of good land to produce the necessal
hay and grain as above The same reasoi
ing might be made use of in the feeding
cattle and sheep.

Tux WEsr CHESTER STEAM FInE ENoISE.-Thc
now steamer recently purchased for West Chcs.
ter has been repaired, and on Tuesday afternoon
last had another trial. The Record says =
THE engine worked for about an hour and u
half in a very handsome manner, without any ac-
cldent or stoppage, with the exception of n few
moments time necessary to take off and put on
the different sized MOBILES. Between 60 and 70
lbs of steam was the highest pressure used, and
during the trial two streams Of water were thrown
at one time, one of them through an inch and a
quarter nozzle, 10 great distance and with tre-
mendous force, giving q fair idea of the service
afterwards made from plug in the Borough. We
understand the Committee have expressed them
selves satisfied, and the steam engine may now be
considered one of the fixtures of West Chester.
The Delaware Fire Company have ordered an
Portland, Maine, the manufacturer Of this one,
and will feel interested In the above. The Record
fails to state the number of feet water was thrown
