RICHNESS OF TIE English LANGUAGE
The construction of the English Ian
guage must appear most formidable to
foreigners. One of them, looking at a
picture of number of vessels, said,
"Ses what flock of ships !" He was
told that a flock of ships was called a
fleet, and that feet of sheep was called
a flock. And it was added for his guild
ance in mastering the intricacies OF our
language, that "a flock of girls is called
bevy, that beyy of wolves is called q
pack, and pack of thieves is called a
gang, and a gang of angels is called
host, and a host of porpoiSes is called a
shoal, shoal OF buffalo is called a herd,
and a herd Of children is called . troop,
and a troop of partridges is called a
covey, and covey of beauty is called q
galaxy, and a galaxy Of rufiaps is called
a horde, and horde of rubbish is called
a heap, and a heap Of oxen is called a
drove, and drove of hlackguards is
called mob, and a mob of whales is
called school, and school of worship
pers is called congregation, and a con
gregation of engineers is called a corps,
and corps OF robbers is called band,
and band of locusts is called a swarm,
and a swarm of men is called crowd,
and crowd of gentlefolks is called elite,
and the elite OF the eity's thieves and
raseals are called roughs." ..,r.. I.l

Junins Henri Browne in the March number
of Paekards Monthly, has long article on
printers" from which We extract the follow
ing truthful paragraphs:
"Printing-ink begets cynicism, as dampness
rheumatism, or foul air feyers. There is no
escaping it. Men in printing Offices, whether
they prepare or set copy, contract the disease
and suffer from it more or less. as their mental
system responds TO or resiststs II. They are
behind the scenes They know that the golden
crowns and goblets the public admires are only
pasteboard; that the glittering jewels are only
colored glass; that the crimson glory of the
tableaux is but fash of red fire; that the
mouthing fellow who is lavish of his duke
doms is in arrears for his morning cocktail.
Life is unidealized TO them from the outset
1t is stripped of its illusions, and fine names
are but echoes of emptiness. Why expect
them TO admire? Why ask them to be ambi-
tious? Why look for enthusiasm in tbemg
THE printer understands how regulations
are made. He knows that they are not blown
forth from the trump of fame but from the
trump of him who seeks reputation by per-
forming solo, and gets it thereby He is aware
that while genius starvcs, impudence fattens;
that while wisdom hides in a garret, fiippancy
draws on the pave; that while inspiration
pines, management flushes with health. Ho

FOR SALE.
The Superior Thoroughbred Horse
WAGNER!
The subscriber offers for sale his superior
Thoroughbred Horse WAGNER.
DEscRIpT1oH. Wagner is q beautiful
chestnut, about 159 hands high, of fine
symmetry, commanding style and unsuf-
passed action, being a race horse ofthe first
family, in high racing form, with all the
points that indicate strength and speed
He was bred by Col. John Campbell, and
foaled in the year 1853, on the Oakland
track, Kentucky. and brought to Baltimore
by him in the summer of 1868.
Observation-Disclosures was sired by the ceiebr ted
running horse Wagner, and out of the renowned mare
Sally Bertrand. Sally Bertrand by the capital racer
and stallion Bertrand Jr; dam Sally Hornet, by Sir
rand dam, Transport, by Vrginius of imported
Donied y g. dam Nancy Air, by imported Bedford
Old Bertrand by Old Sir ArchGy; dam Eliza, (ewn sis
ter to the celebrated running horse, Gaain by impor
ted Bedford her dam the old imported Mambino mare
by Mambriho, uhe sire of imported Grey Messenger)
West, by Marion G. dam by imported Citizen. great
grand son Of the Godolphn Arabian. Sir Charles by
Old Sir Arehey; dam by imported Citizen Marion
sally Beraand wag sr's dam. was bred by Col. j.
Campbell and brought out by him and Mr.. Garrison, a,
Norfolk, Va She was trained by George Walden, at
Governor Bowie's in Prince Georges County Md, and
he says she is Of the gamest eyer han
died. Her DAM Sally Hornet, Col Campheile purchased
from MAJOR 0oayrl, At 5000. He says she oi
the best mares he ever owned.
Thus we see how closely allied this su
perior racer and stallions Wagner, was to
the Godolphin Arabian, having three direct
courses of his blood through his great grand
sire, imported Citizen--one cross transmit
ted to him through his sire, Sir Charles, and
two through his dam Maria West. A rich
er, purer, or more desirable blood does not
flow in the veins of any of the distinguish
cd horses on the turf in this or any
other country. For further reference see
Turf Register.
WAGNER can be seen at the stables of
the subscriber, Rich Neck. Deer Creek,
Hartford county, Md. For further partic-

tree II years old, and which without culling
the peaches measured on an average inches
in circumference, some measuring 81 inches.
We stated In the beginning of our letter
that SOC, 900 baskets would be shipped from
this landing: this estimate is made by the
peach growers themselves whose calcula-
lions we think far beneath the mark, as by
Stunning up the figures already given, the
amount almost reaches $4,000.
While tarrying amongst the peach grow
ers and gathering the information in this
communication, the cloud of which be-
| fore spoke broke in copious showers water
ering the parched earth; giving the peaches
| a richer hue and decking the fields in q
brighter green, after which we soon found
ourselves beneath the hospitable roof Of Mr..
E. G. Fennimore, upon whose farm dame
nature was so lavish with favors last season.
While the peach crop last year was almost
total failure, Mr. F's orchard produced him
4, 200 baskets, an account Of which we gave
at that time in the "DELAwARE TRIBUNE"
but notwithstanding Mr.. F's crop last year ;
nature, this year has not Withheld her boun-
teous hand from 5000 trees, Mr.. f. will
gather 25,0 900 basket of peaches which he
ships in a schooner chartered for his
own use, from Rock landing on his own
farm lying OH the Appoqunimink which by
the way is so crooked that in whatever di-
rection we travel we will come upon it.
Mr.. Fennimores orchard is II years old
and never yet missed crop. He has no
young orchard coming on to take its place,
but he is turning his attention to the raising
Of potatoes and tomatoes with other trnck
on large scale, in which he thinks there is
more money than in future peach crops.
Having already perhaps wearied our read
ers with such long prosy letter, allow me
here TO thank the farmers for their uniform
kindnes and the many marks of favor with
which the DELAWARE TRIBUNE is received
amongst them, and so close our second lam
BILE amongst the peach growers of Delaware.

BEAUTIFUL ExPRRIMENTs.-Now that the
fruits are beginning to ripen, the following
beautiful fexperiment may be tried Mono
grams, initial letters, or other designs, can
be printed on such fruit as apples, pears or
peaches by the action of the sun, with very
pretty effect, of either light or dark color.
To do this, draw the monogram, letter, or
design on a piece of writing paper and
paste it with muciage or glue upon
the side of the fruit exposed to the
sun. Just before the fruit begins to color, and
when the fruit is ripe, and when the paper
is removed, the design will appear in aligh,-
er or different color from the rest of the
fruit as for instance, if the experiment is
tried on yelow-feshed peach with a red
check, the design will appear in. gold, sur
rounded with red If the opposite effect is
desired, take small oval or circular piece
of paper, and cut out or pierce the letter OF
design in it, and paste it on the fruit which,
when ripe, will have the design in high coloi
on yellow or light green ground, of the
shape of the piece of paper, and this again
will be surrounded by the brighter color o.
