Peach Shipment. by Rn,irond.

Eigh'y-threc car loads TO New York and eleven
to Philadelphia were the peach shipments over
the Delaware Railroad on Friday These are the
largest shipments ever made this early in the
year, but are small compared with those likely 10
be made in the hight OF the season. Those now
being shipped are the Troth's Early, which, like
the Hates Early, is a small peach, aud bpth ripru
considerably in advance of the usual varieties
The latter, however are finer and larger than
those now being shipped. Each car is supposed
70 hold 10000 pounds, and as shippers pay fol
the riaht 10 send that amount it il not likely they
often scnd less. This being the case, we may
safely conclude that at least one million five hun.
dred and four thousand pounds G.j0i ,0O0) o
peaches came up the Delaware Railroad las
night--eQual, we believe, To 81 600 baskets

eclipse was success here. Wswere in q position
To observe the movements of any animals, but
the cattle on thousand hills around this 'hill
side city had evidently heard of the affair In ad
vance and none were so foolish as to stOpgraziug
and go home. If the birds went home they did
not 20 our way. The effect, light and shadow,
while the eclipse was greatest was very fne. The
shadow and sunlight appeared as usual, but the
sunshine was modified or diluted, giving the
landscape a singular aud beautiful appearance.
The eclipse commenced at O'Clock and min
utes and lasted until about $50.

They SAY the Long Island gardeners are
complaining Of the appropriateness OF their
crops this season, owing TO the ruling low
prices, and propose next year TO raise grain
and hay, instead of truck. Very likely; this
season is wonderfully prolific one for
fruits and vegetables; everybody has great
crops: prices are low. Next year people
will raise something else the season will be
far less prolific, prices will be high. Then
they will wish they hadn't changed.
