Peaches.
WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE SHIPMENTS.


The aggregate Of the peach shipments during
the past week show falling off from the week
previous, being as 1t were between the rpening
Of the varieties, this influence being more no.
ticeable this year by reason Of the smallness of
the crop. There is a little revival manifest this
week, however, and it is anticipated that from
80 to 40 will go into market daily while the
Troths hold on.
Prices were somewhat better, last week, rang
lug from $3.50 to $3.50 per crate, while the
very best quality brought as much as $6 In
our own market peaches are selling at ~ and
upwards, but the fruit is very poor in quality.
The greater part which was brought into market
on Tuesday and Wednesday were Hales very
much decayed- The peach market on those
days reminded us very much of the story which
is told of the Jerseyman-that they keep at
home that which they can't sell elsewhere. II
we apply the parellel to the growers who sell in
this market and their own private homes we
should say they had not eaten peach this sea-
son.

for the week ending the 11th:

THE democracy Of Alabama covered
themselves with glory in the late po-
ltical victory. Tono man In the state
IL the result more due than TO the Hon.
John Forsyth, the able and brilliant
editor Of that staunch and noble old
journal, the Mobile Register. Mr.. For
syth has toiled for years, in and out OF
season, through poverty, sickness and
abuse, Tor the right, for the true prin-
ciple of sound democracy, the rights OF
the south, and the good Of the country.
He IL vigorous writer, a polished gen
tleman, thoroughly conversant with
the politics of the country and the
wants of the people. His familiarity
with the temper and spirit Of our mod
ern craftsmanship would make him a
valuable and honored member Of the
United States Senate. The people of
Alabama owe 1t TO themselves to re-
ward so faithful a servant, so cour-
ageous n defender. 1t Is high time the
senate should be reinforced by the cul-
ture, intelligence and gentlemanhood
of the country. 1t has been infested by
corrupt mediocrity and political up
starts long enough. Mr.. Forsyth has
fairly won the honor Of having his
claims considered favorably, and we
desire to see this gifted and chivalrous
ornament to journalism rewarded rs
his merits deserve.

A Model Hen Farm.

OF hen farm near Marietta Ga,
the Atlanta Herald says: Mr.. Daubere
keeps his fowls in tlocks of fifty. To
these fifty hens are added about four
cocks. To each flock of fifty he gives
about one acre of ground; that is, he
allows them the run of one-half acre
this year, and the other half acre next
year, cultivating the unoccupied half
acre every year with some paying
crop. The farm, with its eight hum
dred occupants, thus occupies just six
teen acres. Half of this is all the time
under cultivation, so that eight acres is
all really detracted from agricultural
purposes. The farm lies pretty level
and is a beautiful sight; its regular sue
cession of fences, its alienation OF
cultivated spots, its scores of shade and
fruit trees, its hundreds of growing
chandeliers and cluclling matronly
hens, make picture worth going a
hundred miles to see.
