the chance came to him of making great
forensic display; but unless he had trained
himself for the chance, the chance would
only have made him ridiculous. There Is

DORCHESTER (Mnl AND DELAWARE Rail-
RoAD.-lhs annual report Ofthis road, running
from Seaiord toCambTidgs, has been published
in pamphlet form, from which we learn that the
total revenue of the road for the past year has
been So, l.S9, being an increase Of per cent.
over the receipts for 1871. While the peach
crop was about one third short. the deficiency
was more than supplied by the increased expoF-
tation of small fruits. Linkwood sent of more
peaches this year than East New Market. the
latter vicinity exported more Strawberries, while
Airey's was ahead in raspberries. Williamsburg
is ahead on the goosebeFry question, and Cam-
bridge in peas. The ireasurer's report shows
the operating expenses of the road 70 be $l5,-
6l664, and the net earnings 81 1888. The
president congratnlates the Stockholders. upon
The constantly developing prospects OF the rail-
road, and calls attention, by way OF illustration,
10 the fact that in 1871 Al .3l4 quarts ofstFaw-
berries we're shipped over the road, as against
l67, ,0A7 in 1872 and over million quarts are
expected next season judging from the immense
number Of plants set cut. They have paid from
$500 to 5000 per acre.
