TEACH NOTES.
On Saturday last Sam Townse nd shipped to
Chicago car load OF pesches in one OF the
" v, - nSa.
Of course, by that railroad and will reach their
destination to-day. The car was attached to
he afternoon passenger train on the Delaware
Z: T. and went through with it to PhilsdelphiA.
The psAohes were placed inside the car in has
ketA, on shelving, in tho ordinary manner and
quantity. The car itself was precisely similar
TO An ordinary freight car, except that on the top
wss An ice boz extending its entire length, and
40 ventilation iH permitted, the car being per.
fectly tight to retain the cold air. Mr.. Town
ssud says that tho temperature was so low that
il was impossible to pack the fruit except by in.
ssrvsla. Tho shipment WAS an exp erimeut and
WIZ DO repeated il successful. Hao's Earlier
we're put into the car, and the result il looked to
with considerable interest.
The Cheetertown (Md) Nebs says that ii,
Coz, Of the American Fruit Co., of st. Louis, ha.
waited that place and made arrangem ents with
Capt Ruth for putting up quantity Of peaches
BY . recently patented process. The Ingredients
used are not made public, but pure water is said
Aorgan's spring, on the suburbs Of Chostertown
v said to discover the quality desired. The
peaches are packed in half barrels, and the pro.
cess. which has boon tested for two or three sea-
sons, il claimed to be an entire SUCCESS. 1t is
believed by tho patentees that their method will
N the course Of . few years, work a complete
revolution in the manner Of peach packing.
Capt. 7. De 9. Ruth, Of Chestortown. found
ne other day in the upper part Of his factory 9
half case OF peaches which he put up in 1865, and
which have since been overlooked. They were
IN perfect state Of preservation, drm snG
sweet. This Ia additional evidence OF the fact
that canned fruie may be preserved for an al.
most indefinite period.
The lateral branch railroads. on the Peninsula
are doing good bualnoss, this season, and vii
70 some extent verify the predictions of thei
projectors. The Kent county r. r. ia already
running three trains daily, and the MsrYland 4
Delaware put on its third train to-day. This |,
sdsgres Of prosperity ne7cr sbtxined By them
before.
The peach shipments West have already be.
gun During the past week several osr-ioade
we're transported from Cambridge to Baltimore
Va steamer, and thence Wis tho BALTIC & Ohio
T. Il. to Cincinnati. Those shipments will in.
crease with the further maturing Of the crop.
