1t is suggested that prior to any mole great
and hazardous balloon investigation tIips-such
as that of Donaldson.and Lunt to New Canaan
--"ieelers" for the Easterly current should be
sent up in the shape Of little balloons let OF at
given time from all the signal services OF the
world, (Which are to be brought into harmony,
By General Meyers negotiatous,) each b3lloon
havisg 9 registered postal card attached, upon
which the finder of the balloon, VII ~ It alish's,
might write memoranda Of the time and place OF
it, and return to headquarters. This would be
not at all bad idel, if the little balloons could
be warranted to proceed in given track and
descend at q given time. Otherwise the postal
cards might be ignorAntly preserved among the
talismAns OF Feiee Islander, or adorA the
head dress OF Central African. One of the
balloons sent up from Paris during the seige
is reported to have been found in a tree-op in
Natal, South Africa. This locks badly for the

LOCAL OPTION This law, recently confrmo
by vote Of tho people Chester county, went
into effect, yesterday, and so far as Mrs. Ham
nah Fisher, proprietress of the I4audenbnrg Ho.
tel is concerned, it Will be faithfully observed
ard adhered to. Mrs. Fisher, unlike many
others engaged in the business, does not say
she will close her hotel thereby saying that the
sale of liquor was all she cared about, but she
intends more than ever to devote herself to the
accommodation OF permanent and transient
hoarders, and hopes to receive liberal patron
age. 1t is said that there is n general ransacl-
ing of garrets and cellars going on in search Of
old jugs, Of all descriptions and that the W. IL
W. Il. H. will have to furnish an extra car for
the accommodation of the juggists. We have
heard some old members OF the bar, however,
say since Local Option went into operation,
that water had dOyoned queer taste, but hoped
to get used to ii by and by.

IMPORTANT TO FRUIT SHIPPERs.-In order to
avoid confusion and prevent delay in the return
of empty fruit crates, it has become necessary
to number the Stations on the Delaware Rail-
road and branches. Therefore, the following
has been ordered hy the proper authorities !:
That all crates, must be marked by the shipper,
with the number Of station from which they are
shipped, to insure their return For this pur-
pose stencils and paint will be furnished by
agents. Crates must be numbered in red on
both ends and on top. Agents will notify ship
pers of this regulation as soon as possible, and
endeayor to have all crates marked before the
season commenced, and explain to them that
this measure is solely for their benefit and is
made necessary by the rapid increase of the
fruit business The Company will endeavor to
have all ''emptes" promptly returned, but must
insist on these regulations being strictly en-
forced in order 10 accomplish this end
