years, was divided in the year 1858 into two
branches, known Familiarity a. the old school

were reunited in $50. 1t is expected that
strong effort will be made by this assembly to
eject union with the southern sections of the
Church, and this, il is urged, can easily and con-
sistently be done, as when the southern sections

Lovers of fruit need not have any apprehen-
sions OF being deprived Of the luxury of peaches
and cream this summer, notwithstanding all
TIE reports about the failure Of the crop. The
Cream crop will doubtless be a success as the
continuous rains OF the last month have insured
good grass crop, which is the main dependence
OF the Pensive COW. and we are led to believe
that the peaches will be forthcoming from the
fact that at a meeting Of fruit-growers at
Dover Delaware. held day before Yesterday.
the belief wss expressed that the crop viii be
equal 10 If not greater than that of last wear.
when the shipments reached over 5000. 900
baskets In addition to peaches, large crop of
early apples and pears is conf iently expected.
The crop OF Strawberries and other small fruits
VIII also be enoE mOus, AMI Ear in excess of the
Isst year. Ii WAS also stated at the meeting
referred to that the crop Of peaches in all the
county on the eastern shore OF Maryland
and the lower counties of Delaware would be
ENORMOUS, and much larger than for many
ysaIs past.

Monday evening last, an eminent physician.
who is a member Of the committee, stated that
the strange acts of the boy somnambulist were
not merely a somnambulst's freak, but insane
acts, and that his condition was brought about

A REFORM MOVE IN CHICAGO

A REFORM MOVE IN CHICAGO.
Mayor Medll recommends the COM
mon council of Chicago to pass an ordin-
ance making it obligatory upon saloons
and tipping shops to close a, eleven
o'clock pm. The mayor is supported in
this reforma.ory measure by the board Of
police commissioners, and his communica-
ton on the subject was referred 10 the
committee on Judiciary, with instruction.
to report an ordinance covering the case,
Mayor Medll and his co.adjutors have
hit the nail squarely on the head BY
this blow q. one Of the mos! prolific sources
Of crime in all communities in which it
becomes necessary to counteract the evil
effects Of saloons and tipping houses. In
the following paragraph in his communi.
cation, 70 the common council Of Chicago,
Mayor Medill tells the whole story Of
nine-tenths Of the crimes committed in
cities and towns;
The officers of our police force bear tes-
timony that the tipping houses which keep
open during the midnight hour are pat
ronized by thieves, burglars, garroters,
Migrants and other dangerous classes.
From these alcoholic resorts they golfor,h to
commit depredations and return to them at
all hours Of the night with or without plum.
der Is the case may be. Laboring men
who patronizs midnight tipping houses
unfit themselves for work on the follow
ing day, lose their situations, become un
steady in their habits, and neg ect and abus
their families; are arrested by the polio,
for "drunk and dsorderly" found guilty
by the magistrates, and are thrown int
the bridewell on non-payment of fine. IL
these disreputable places thousands linge
TO drink and carouse; and these protrsctec
sittings altogether end in besstly nebria
ton, maudlin quarrels, fighting, stabbing
shooting and murders.
