u democratic semi-weekly paper of this city,
some days ago, n sensational story of an attempt

be utterly unfounded and false In every partcu-
lar.

TuE DELAWARE PEAcu CRop.-From the best
Information that car be obtained, we learn that
there will be about one-fourth of a crop of
peaches in and about seatord, Laurel, and below
those points along the linc of the railroad. In
the vicinity of Dover. from present indications,
full crop Is expected and for Kent county three
fourths Of full crop. About Smyrna, Town
send and Middetown, the crop promises TO be
abundant. All calculations IN regard 10 this
crop, however, are based upon the presumption
Of favorable weather. The crop is not free from
danger yet, and may be entirely killed by frosts
in May, as has been the case heretofore.
