A SPLENDID RESIDENCE AT AUCTIoN.-lt is
a very rare circumstance that 80 handsome and
pleasant residence is offered at auction M the
one advertised by Messrs. NJ. NJ. Child " Co,
TO be sold on Saturday. This sale is positive
there will be no withdrawal. The situation of
the house is most dclightful-the scenery and
surroundings are all OF n pleasant character. No
part of Delaware Avenue is more desirable. The
passenger cars pass it every five minutes and
therefore, although rural in all that is desirable
for health and exercise it is as accessible to the
business man as though it we're IN the heart oi
the city Although in few years the city will be
thickly built up far beyond it this residence,
from the lawns and parks adjacent, will retain its
present attractiveness 1t is W..and in com.

Its GREAT ExTENT-THE SHIPMENT3 INCREAs-
mo.
while the peach crop of the Delaware Pouin
sula does not promise to be SO large as was hoped
iur the berry crop Is almost immense In its ex-
tent. Retarded by no adverse circumstances, the
plants throve and prospered, until now myriads
OF berries are daily arriving at maturity, and Will
soon be sent TO the various markets in such pro-
fusion as will reduce their prices to the means of
all.
OF COURSE the strawberry is the most popular
Of all, aud is the crop around which the main
interest centres. Shipments in small numbers
commenced about week ago, aud though the
prices are rather high the berries are eagerly
bought up by those whose means will permit Of
the indulgence, while strawberry festivals have
already been held. The shipments, however. are
increasing daily, and before the end of the week
they will be quite heavy from all points OF lower
Maryland reached by the Delaware and EIstel n
Shore Railroad aud perhaps some from Della
ware. While by Monday OF next week strawber-
rlcs will be ripe in all sections of the Peninsula,
and lower Jersey will also begin sending its quo
Ia Thus it can be fairly concluded that the last
OF THIS week or the first OF next will bring us into
the height oi the Seeding" strawberry season
About the lOth oi June will commence the "Hack.
ensack" season. The "lIackensack" is the small
sweet strawberry, shipped (lIeed OF the caps) Il
tins market IN small, spint baskets, usaally
holding third of quart. and known as thirds
Alter them, about June 20, commences the Hud
son river seedlings, which variety winis up the
strawberry season aboGt July L.
The extent of the crop it Is almost impossible
to suimlse. hut it Will reach several millions o
quarts. The number Of growers Is large, an,
while many of them are extensive in their opera
tons, all ~ them will have good, la,ge, pro hta
bie crops. For Instance, our neighber, John Tow

| 10000 aud $4,000 quarts from his -" Rshobotl
| taIm," in Somerset county, Md. anl in DoI
| chester county sou OF VIM. NJ. Peters, OF thi
| county, will seud about 90 900 quarts. Tn sse ar

great quantity of beautiful and curious vases OF
the finest workmanship were found in this house
Among them were several of peculiar form, with
two faring handles and two ears for drinking.
Schliemann the latter the depas dmphkapefloH
of Homer which, he insists, ought TO be translated
simply as "cup with two handles" This is minor
point in the presence of many more important
discoveries, but 1t may be OF interest to some
persons
The discovery of the Seaan Gate of course d.
rected all further exploration to the neghborhood
Of that locality. The position corresponds to tho
description of the Had. Ii is at the northwestern
corner of the wall of Troy and from the high tower
near it, old King Priam could have had clear and
complete view of the battlefield on the plain, be-
tween the Scamander and the Simois. SO, when
Dr. ;Schliemann, after having rummaged through
half the remaining ruins of Troy takes the only
large stately mansion among them ALL standing be-
tween the tower and the Seean Gate, aud calls 1t
1.-The House of Priam," I think he does not deserve
to be treated by certain German if he were
an impertineut school boy. Let him have his House
of Pram-and let us, too, call it--whether Priam
ever lived in it or not. For my part, have far
more faith in historical tradition than many people
of greater wisdom but am always deli GIFTED when
ever the research Of our wonderfully exporative age
iustifies the tradition and they are not.
Schliemanns explorations are like play in FIVE

Seean Gate looked once more across the plain Of
Troy, to Tenedos and Imbros and the Samothracian
Ida Then-what particular day 1t was he does not
tell us,-the city wall running southwark along the
edges of the great mound having been further laid
bare something happened, which must allow him
TO tell in his own words:

copper1 object OF most remarkable form, which at
