his legs crushing them frightfully. Medical aid
called, but the shock was too great for his sys-
TEN to stand, and he died on the evening of the

- The merchants of this borough have formed an
association for the purpose of regulating the cred,
system and protecting themselves from non.paying
customers It appears there are class here who
after having obtained all the credit they get
one store, make practice Of leaving their bills
settled, and going to another to repeat the same
game. The Association designs to break up this
practice by recording, in book kept for that pur-
pose, the names of such persons. and lists from it,
called the BLACK list" to be furnished each
member, who will refuse credit to all so reported.
If carried out properly, this system will save our
merchants from great loss, and prove benefit to
honest customers.

The Peach BUSINESS IN SusBuRY.-When we
referred, some time since to the peach trade in this
place, we had correct idea of its extent and i'm
portance. We have since spoken to some of our
heaviest dealers in the article and find that nearly
two thousand boxes have been received and dis
posed Of in this place by the different persons en-
gagged in the business. Perhaps about one-third OF
this amount was re-sold to the trade in the neghbor-
ing towns The remainder was used by our citi-
Iens. The prices ranged from 50 to $3.50, and
averaged about 81 so. Had the prices kept down
the consumption would have been much greater
These facts should stimulate farmers and others
in paying more attention to the culture of fruit
With such home market and facilities for trans
Portaton the business could not fail being profitable

CARD TO THE PUBLIc.-The undersigned, Trus-
tees of THE RIVERSIDE INSTITUTE, an lnsti-
tuition chartered by the State of New Jersey for the
maintenance and education of the orphans of the
Soldiers and Sailors of our whole country, which is
being established and endowed by the enterprise and
patriotism Of the Washington Library Company of
Philadelphia, would announce to the public that in
their opinion, the efforts being made by that Com
pany for the establishment and endowment of the
Riverside Institute cannot fail of success Their
agencies have been established and their advertise
ments published throughout the country at great
expense and the results are now being realized II
the distribution were TO take place, and the abors
of the Company cease, on the 25th inst, adver-
tised, the Institution though established would moi
have provided the means for proper and perma
nent continuance, could it be extensively use
full as the public and the Trustees desire.
After mature consideration, we have therefore re-
commended that the Washington Library Company
postpone their distribution until the 9th of January
next, and continue the sale of certificates and en-
cravings until that time under the firm belief tina
the result will assuredly provide permanent hom,
for the maintenance and education Of very many o
the orphans OF those who have died in the service
their country.
