DEAR SIR:-ln response to your wish
| will inform you what | know about the
crops. | think our apple crop is entirely
killed, and the trees are also badly in
jured. The wheat is also damaged, but
most persons think it will revive. at least
Il good portion Of it. The grass is late
coming out, and feed is getting scarce.
The people are very late with their
spring crop.

AN EFFORT TO PROCURE ADDITIONAL sAFEGUARDt
AoAINsT TREsPAss-AppRovAL OF BILL TO III
SENT TO THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
PERMANENT ASSOCIATION, &c.
An adjourned meeting OF the farmers of New
Castle county for better protection against tres
pass, was held in the second story of the Tee-
graph Building, this morning, James NJ. Bracllr
in the chair aud Geo. II. Brown secretary.
The committee which was appointed to prepare
bill which shall embody the ends desired re.
ported that conference had been held with
Chas b Lore, Esq, as directed, and then gave
some idea of Mr.. Lores views about the present
law, representing him as saying that there was
already nearly law enough to protect farmers
from trespass, but that chapter 1913, section 20,
OF the new code, WAS unconstitutional in that
made trespass a misdemeanor, punishable by a
Justice OF the Peace, while the Constitution OF
the State did not give Magistrates the jurisdic-
tion over misdemeanors. To keep it under the
Jurisdiction Of Magistrates it should be consti-
tuted nuisance.
The committee then reported bill, of which
the following is synopsis Every constable or
conBervator of the peace, the owner or occu
pant Of farms, their sgents or employeesor any
other persons whom they may call upon for as-
iastance, is authorized to arrest all tresspassers
with or.without warrant, either upon the prem
ses or in immediate flight therefrom and take the
offender before magistrate who shall impose a
fine not exceeding 35. and COSTS and hold them
in the sum of 300 to keep the peace for one
year. II the fines are not paid and the bail re-
quired not furnished the offender shall be i'm
prisoned for thirty days
John Bradford thought the bill not strong
enough that the farmers should he allowed to
use fire arms /; that he had been threatened by
gangs OF armed rui1ians who trespassed, deiied
and even cursed and threatened to shoot him.
After further discussion the bill WAS approved.
George Ely then moved that committee Of
three for each hundred be appointed to obtain
signatures to onsmemorializng the Leg
islature for tho passage OF the bill. Adopted and
the following were appointed
