A TIMELY WARNINa.-The slight snow
storm which fell on Thursday should be
accepted as a warning that inexorable and
stern old hoary- headed Winter is near at
hand. Look out for frosty fingers and blue
noses and a general "shivery shakiness'
all over. No man ought to 60 about in the
cold with the belief that it is hardy and
healthful. His brains were given him that
he might make use of them and outwit the
sheep of suficiency of his coat to keep
him warm and comfortable. This wool,
after being manufactured into the finest
sabrics can be found fashioned into an
immense variety of Garments of the finest
make at the very lowest prices at the great

A WIFE WANTED.-An old gentleman
who has small fixed income, and who is
farmer, desires wife. He wishes one
about forty or fifty, good, sober, kind
lady, who would do her work and be COM
panion to him, as he feels lonely. He
requests any one who would marry him, to
inform ex-Alderman Vincent, who will give
them the particulars. AS the Alderman
has attended to his other business, from
strong persuasion and desire to oblige the
old gentleman, he has consented to receive
the letters or applications in order to assure
those who may desire to mate with him
that it is not hoax.
The above is taken from the Wilmington
(Del.) Republican, and is published in all
sincerity. Out Of sympathy for the poor
old man, and with the desire of beneftting
some female reader who is also "lonely,"
We cheerfully give the item place in onr
columns. If not supplied before this notice
meets the eyes of our patrons, we think
Cecil can furnish him with the desire of
his heart and the need of his old age.

Peach Growers Association.

The Peach Growers Association met at
Seaford, Del, on Wednesday, the 18th inst,
and was very SHINY attended. J. Alex.
Fulton, Esq, was the only member in
attendance from the two upper counties
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
Fulton, and Levin Hitch. Esq, was chosen
chairman. and Mr.. W. F. Townsend, Sec
rotary. The object of the meeting was
stated to be the enhancement of the
interests of the fruit growers Of the PENN
suia' Mr.. Fulton stated that commit
tee had been appointed to open new lines
of transportation westward and north for
the shipment Of fruit, and they had made
arrangements to ship peaches in the bulk,
through New York ON ali the railroads.
Col. Edward Martin, of SUSSEX county.
said he believed in the concert of action
aud the formation of local Association:
that the Peninsular Fruit Growers Asaocia-
tion had debarled them from obtaining a
reduction Of freight charges. He believed
they should organize a society of their own
to look after their own interests.
DR.. Ellegood spoke at some length of the
ruinous freight charges, and favored the
building of new lines of railroads He
offered the following resolution, which was
adopted:
IlcSOtocet, udt Vi IcE
cents per tree upon those trees now in
be.tling and to bear in the next two years
on the lie of tine Dorchester & Delaware
Railroad, and in the lower part of Sussex
county, will be more than sufficient to build
and equip the Georgetown & Seaford Rail
road, or extend the same to the Maryland
line. And that we commend to the peach
growers in those parts of Maryland and
Delaware the consideration of this fact
Gov. Ross spoke in favor of an associa-
ton of the fruit growers of Sussex county
and lower Maryland, and that it would
secure a lower rate for freight.
Mr.. Townsend offered the following reso-
luton, which was adopted:
Resolced, That ex-Gov. Ross, Hon. Dan.

and Levin Hitch, Esq, be constituted

meeting 4 constitution or articles of asso-
citation for an organization to be called the

Arrival Of the Grand DIXIE.

The Grand Duke Alexis, of Russia, arrived
in New York harbor, on Sunday evening,
and had one of the grandest receptions. on
Tuesday last, in that city, ever rendered to
Royalty. He proceeded to Washington on
Wednesday, to pay his respects to the
President, by special train, which was
detained, or at least stopped at the Elkton
Depot, for some time, and some of our cur
iouse got sight of his Royal Highness, or
at least endevored to do so. The following
paragraph will give some idea of the mag
nificence with which the young bear was
welcomed by Gotham:
The Duke is especially pleased with his
quarters at the Clarendon Hotel. His
apartments were all inspected shortly after
he reached the establishment, and his opin-
ion, freely expressed, is that nothing grand
er could be devised. The first noticeable
point about the hotel is the royal Russian
escutcheon frescoed upon the door panels
Within all is new, gorgeous, and elegant.
but in no respect gaudy. Splendid new
marble mantels, with CRATES and tenders of
heavy silver plating and gilt, have been
put in. Expensive bronzes, clock, statuary
and other ornaments of rich and rare
description are upon the mantels, and beau
tiful landscapes are framed against the
walls. The floor is covered with a velvet
carpet of brilliant colors. Damask and
lace curtains shade the windows, gilt and
bronze chandeliers with porcelain retiectors
hang from the ceilings, and miniature
cologne fountain of fine marble is placed at
the centre of the rear windows. Over it,
and the most prominent object that attracts
the attention, is large and life lk por-
trait of the Gar.

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY promises glor
ously for the ensuing year. A Romance by
Hawthorne, lately discovered, and entitled
"Septimus FELTON,; or, the Elixer of life"
will appear as a serial. We are told that
the scene is laid in Concord, Mass; the
time is on and after April 10, 1775, the day
of the battle of Concord The central idea
Of the story is that of deathless man, an
idea which had peculiar fascination for
Mr.. Hawthorne. The story suggests the
"Scarlet Letter." in its power and pro-
found significance; it abounds in charming
picture and scenes such as Hawthorne de-
lighted to draw; and, being written during
the War of Secession. it ia yvified by the
momentous events which deeply impressed

"Autocrat" in new series of papers to
be called "The Poet at the Breakfast Ia

the Life of Thomas Jefferson. Longfellow,
Whittier, Lowell, T. 3. Alrich, ard others
will supply some of the poetry; Professor
De Mile will give "The Comedy of Ter
rors, )" to run through several months. The
story, we learn, relates the adventures of a
party in Montreal, and afterwards in Paris
during the German siege of last winter, and
is in Prof De Miles extravagant, hHmer-
ous most fascinating vein. Bret Harts

for northern markets this season, that game
would be in danger of being entirely de-
