To Messrs. Richard Mitchell and Adams
Mahood,

Gentlemen We have been informed that
you have threatened to prosecute us to the full
extent Of the law for making and selling, or
any person for buying or using our stave peach
baskets, on which you claim Letters Patent.
Your advertisement in the SMYRNA TINES,
May 3lst, is also intended to prevent the sale
of our stave baskets by threatening any person
who may buy them with legal prosecution.
The peach growers Of this Peninsula have
too long used the stave peach baskets and
during the last two years been forced to nav
entirely too high prices for them to be easily
frightened by such expedients as you seem to
think will prevent the further use of them un-
less bought of you, at such prices as you may
charge them, now that we are making much
better basket, and selling them at lower prices
than they have been sold heretofore
We desire, however, to inform you that we
are now making our stave peach baskets and
selling them IN large numbers to peach grow
ers, who express themselves we'll pleased with
them. Our orders are daily increasing.
IT you desire to test the legality of your
Letters Patent, as claimed on our stave bas ct,
you now have the opportunity. We will also
furnish you with the names of one or more re-
spOnslOle persons who have bought our baskets,
against whom, we are authorized to state, you
can also institute suit
Very truly, your ob't servants.

At Chester, on Kent river, l talked with
Mr.. Edward wilkins, probably the greatest
peach grower now living in the United States,

gave as an instance of the propagativeness Of

the next peach farm in the United States. in

peaches was 33S,00O The highest price he

THE EXCURSION LAST WEEK.-The excur-
sion from Clayton to Oxford, last Thursday,
under the auspices of the Hillsborough NJ K.
Sunday School, Rev. w. r. McFarlane, pas
tor, was a success. Over one Thousand per-
soDs were on the train, including about seven
hundred Sunday school children. Over sixty
persons went from this vicinity, and the school
realized $50 by the enterprise. AS excur.
sions to this locality have become so popular
some interest has been awakened concerning
it. 1t is decidedly an unassuming village of
" lOwly-thatched cottages" altogether insult
ed to place that should be surrounded with
pleasures and palaces" to make it attractive
to tourists. The location is magnificent, and
the first impression TO possess the stranger is
that art and enterprise have shamefully neglect
ed to vie with nature in making it the prettiest
spot on the Eastern Shore. Situated, as it is,
upon rich plateau, at an elevation of twelve
or fifteen feet above the waters of the Tread
haven river, one Of the most beautiful tribu.
tarles OF the Chesapeake, with the green sward
that slopes up Its banks from the brink to the
lawns OF the whltewashed cottages above, gives
1t beauty and cOzneSs that persons must adj
mlre, as they view the site from the smart little
| sailing canoes that skim the blue waters which
almost surrounded it. To parties who enjoy
sailing and fishing the place is really attrac-
| tive, but beyond this there is little to amuss
accommodations and partake of meals from an
extempOrlZed, camp meeting-like table in an
apple orchard is we'll calculated to make one
think that the three hundred inhabitants Of
the quiet little village were noviceS in the ex-
cursion business. But such is not the case !;
excursions per steamer from Baltimore frs,
quently visit there.
A matter of some interest which the citi-
zens point out, is the big grape vine" in
the yard of one of the dwellings, The main
vine is three feet and half in circumference,
from which immense branches shoot, covering
great trellsed arbor, fifty feet square over,
which it has been trained, backwards and
forwards, over and over, until it has be-
come dense mass of foliage. 1t was planted
by the grand father of Rev. j. S. Willis, over
fifty years ago.
Another subject to view ie "Tilghman' S
| folly the walls Of proposed new Episcopal
Church, which lady named Tilghman, in a
spirit OF true philanthropy, commenced to erect,
and died before its completion The folly
would seem to be upon the living, in letting
the noble improvement die with its author,
| rather than complete it as a memorial to her
charity and her church.
The officers of the road, especially Supt.
Caldwell and Conductor MatthewSon, receive
universal cOmmendatiOn on all such occasions
for their kind attentions and urbanity. Few
men enjoy more popularity and esteem in their
official capacity than Mr.. Matthewson.

TEACHERS INSTITUTES IN MARYLAND.-On
the 10th of July Teachers Institute meeting
for Talbot and Caroline counties will commence
In EastOn to continue for five days The object
OF these meetings is to impart instruction on
educational subjects, and we have received a
letter from A. Chaplain, Esq, Supt., and Sec
retary OF the Board of School Commissioners
| for Talbot, requesting the teachers and friends
OF education in Delaware to attend. As an
inducement, the Commissioners have made
arrangements with the Md & Del II. r. Co.,
to furnish halfprice tickets to all teachers,
officers and others connected with schools in
this State, and also with the hotels to furnish
board at half-price, or S3l cents per day. We
hope many teachers in the State will show ap-
preclatlon OF this liberal spirit by attending the
meetings. Various topics will be discussed
each day by practical and successful teachers,
and examinations will be given by "model
classes from the various schools in the coun-
ties named. These institutions are designed
as temporary Normal Schools and are presid-
ed over by the Principal Of the State Normal
School of Maryland, assisted by the County
Examiner and such members of the Board of
/ School Commissioners as may attend. Teach.
ers are called upon to give methods of teach
ing which are commented upon by the Presi-
dent and their excellences noted and defects
pointed out. The teachers are invited to en-
gage IN discussions upon school government,
methods of teaching, &c, and lectures are de-
hvered by competent and experienced instruc-
tors upon these subjects.

You state to US that the beveled hoops pertofaI1o

such as you say have been IN use for the Pa'' s%' %
years and that Mr. Mitchell threatens to Prosecu.IS
not only yourselves for the manufacture OF s"
baskets, but also all persons who may use them n
In regard TO the subject of infringement, II 10 We VIZ
settled that il is no infringement OF patent u'
