The Crops In Eastern Pennsylvania.


Dear Comn,ercial:-I notice an invitation to
contributors to send in an account of the con-
dition of the crops throughout the country. In
compliance with the request give the condition
cry County. SO far as am able to judge there
will BIO larger yield, generally, than for some
years past. The earlier kinds of hay, as meadow
and clover, are mostly secured, in good condi-
ton. Timothy, which is largely sown in this
section, and makes the best hay, Is still standing
and must give place TO the harvest. Wheat Is
now fully ripe but very little as yet has been cut
The crop is very fine and but little Injured with
weeyel, as has been the case for the past two or
three years. Oats and corn are later than usual,
but arc growing finely now, and promise to yield
abundantly. Potatoes In some places, as well as
corn, have been partially killed with the protract-
ed rains. which left too much water stand on the
surface. On higher ground they are very fine in
deed. / have never seen more vigorous
| growth.
The above constitute the staple crop Of this
section. Vegetables are very plenty, as well as
small fruits such as gooseberries, currants rasp'
berries, &C. We have had had q succession Of
heavy rains that have flooded low lands, general
ly, and made II very difficult to farm them to any
advantage, fields being yet partially under water
that are usually dry. Apples, pears, plums, &c.
will be scarce, the late frosts having destroyed
most of the blossoms. Peaches we have none
they will not grow In this section. Grapes art
doing finely and promise an abundant yield.

OUR NElGHBORS.

Hon. ]. R. Franklin and George s. Richardson,

one mile from Newark, in worcester county on
the line of the Worcester Railroad, of.Mr.Little-
ton J. Sturgs, for $4,000.
The Salisbury Nep Era, speaking of the scele-
bration of the Fourth in that town, says This
day passed off pleasantly, every one enjoying
themselves after their own style. Inc most ol
our young folks enjoyed q .pic.nic down the
brations. We noticed the display Of few hagss,
but regret that the spirit was not more general.
Some Of our stores were closed, but the majority |
kept their back doors open--through respect lor
the wants Of their patrons-a few 81 them pracs,

country are rejoicing in the returns of beanti-
full harvest We hear doleinl complaints ron nun. sne

to be almost worthless while others yield scarce

cester counties can scarcely be considered IN

The counties of Somerset and Worcester were
visited on Tuesday morning. I'd inst, with yio,
lent storm of thunder and lightning accompanied
by heavy fall of rain. Several buildings were
struck bylightning, and the crops were some

MEETING OF THE BOARD VI DihhSiono-AfoSoAA~N |
OF THE GREATER PART OF THE ROUTE.
meeting of the Board of Directors of this road,
at which nearly all the Directors were present.
was held at Coetesvillc, on Tuesday.
No final action was taken In regard to the loca- |
ton of the road In Wilmington and Its immediate
vicinity, but the greater part of the remainder OF
the road was definitely located.
The report of the Chief Engineer, ]. Button
Steele, was read,
II SAYS, that in compliance with the request of
the Board of Managers two available routes have
been surveyed from Dupont's Summit to the Del
aware river, near the city Of Wilmington, both OF
which connect with tho city.
The Northern or Brandywine route has grade
of 90 feet per mile and and is one mile shorter to
the river Delaware and one half mile longer 10
the p. w. g. B. R. r. than the Southern or Mill
Creek route, which has no grade exceeding 52.
feet per mile.
The cost of construction on these two lines is
so nearly equal as to make the questions of land
damages and land advantages an important cl-
ement in deciding between them, and 1t wouid
therefore seem desirable to postpone that deci-
sion until these items can DO inteligently placed
In their respective accounts.
With this view OF the supJect lhe Chiei InRr
peer has directed revision of both lines and the
making of the locaton definite in both cases, In
Guiding snch surveys as are necessary TO secure
the right Of way, etc.
When the lines are thus revised the sou'neih
route will terminate on the South SIDE Oh inc

believed TINT there Is no ground between tnese
: two points which offers equal advantages, though
: when the question of selecting harbor on the
! Delaware comes to final decision either terminus
. may be somewhat changed in position.
As the location will probably be finished peior'
the board again meets and it will be necessary
!, previous to construction to obtain such denn,1
releases as can be placed upon the county records
