ing the case that when she was written to from
this city in September, and invited to fix time
at which she could speak in Wilmington, there

engagements elsewhere she could not appear
here either in the months Of November, Deem.

We know our correspondent would not inten- |
tionally do injustice to Miss D., and in justice to
that lady, we make the above statement of
facts
The apple crop, this year, is not only large,
but absolutely immense. The fruit is almost
unstable in market, and thousands of barrels of
cider will be made in districts where very little
has been produced in other years. We read of
one farmer, in Charlestown, Chester county,
who has made 1872 barrels and is not yet done.
A scarcity Of barrels is one great trouble, but it
is asserted that empty coal oil casks do admira-
bly,. (Can any Of our country readers say as to
this y A great quantity of apple whiskey will
also b, made, for which it is probable the sons
and daughters OF men will be worse off, rather
than better, although Uncle Sans taxes on it
swell the National revenue, and help pay off the
debt. In Bucks county, (Penna.) several dist-
leries have been put in operation, entirely for
consuming apples, which distil their crops for
the farmers, ION shares"

the counsel for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
in Montgomery county, James Boyd, Esq, an
attorney Of the Reading road, is elected by the
Democrats. J. Dillingham; Fell Of Philadelphia

Pennsylvania, Lshgh Valley, and other roads.
There are, Of course many other similar in
