THE AMATEUR FLUTE.

The company oil were seated and the
laugh and Jest went round-light heart
ed revelerg unconscious of their doom.
The executioner entered. He bore in
his hand silver flute. A malignant
smile lighted up his features 'Hal hap'
he said with fiendish glee " 1 win adj
minister unto them an adagio; not a man
shall escape"
Now, therefore, this accompanied with
many apologies to the honored shade Of
Edgar Allen Poe.
Hear the fluter with his flute
Silver flute.
Oh, what world of wailing is awakened
10y its tootl
How it demi-semi quavers,
On the mndened air Of night,
And deiieth all endeavors,
To escape the sound or sight
OF the flute, flute, flute,
With its tootle, tootle, toot-
With reiterated tootings of exasperating
toots,
The long protracted tootelings of agoni-
zing toots
OF the flute, flute, flute, flute,
Flute, flute, flute,
And the Wheeling and the spittings OF
its toots.
Should he get that other flute,
Golden flute,
o, what deeper anguish will its presence
institoot
How his eyes to heaVenhe'll raise,
As he plays,
All the days
How he'll stop us on our ways,
With his praise.
And the people-oh, the people
That don't live up in the steeple,
But inhabit Christian parlors where he
visiteth and plays,
Where he plays, plays, plays,
In the cruelest Of ways,
And thinks we ought to listen,
And expects us to be mute,
Who would rather have the earach
Than the music of his flute
OF his flute, flute, flute,
And the tootingsof his toot-
OF the tOots whereWith he tooteth its ag
onizing toot
OF the flute, hewt, fuit, foot
Phlute, phlewt, phlewght,
And the tootle, tootle, tootings of it
toot

Next Best Thing.

An old fellow from Nevada, dressed in
half Indian style, and looking as savage
as brigand, was strolling around the
Central depot, yesterday, when a runa,
way horse knocked him down and rolled
him over several times in the snow. II
was expected the old fellow was killed OF
badly hurt, but he leaped up, shook the
snow off, and shouted.

It was under the direction of Rev. Enoch
Stubs, and was decided success, so the
ones who attended say.
With this week closes the most abundant

not the best paying one BY ary means. The

It has long been suspected, from the Waver-

with a winning smile into the Constables
good natured "phiz," she called "time" in
order to get dinner for the boarders, prom

THE PELCH SEASON..

CLOSING OCT-sOMF FACTS OF THE YIELD
WHO HAVE MADE MoNEY-THE EFFECT OF
THE CROP.
The Peach season, which has continued
since the 25th of July last, is now nearly at
close. This week will, in all probability
wind up the shipments. At least it is ex.
pected that the peach trains will cease to
run after Saturday. Up to the present time
5000 cars or not much more than 1000, ,00C
of baskets have been shipped. This is
10000 lower than the Dover convention
estimated in June last, and fully 1000, ,00O
less than it was supposed would be shipped
at the opening of the season.
The aggregated freights paid to the diff
ferent railroad companies will not fall far
short of million of dollars, if it does not
even 20 above that figure. Of this amount
the Delaware railroad, in conjunction with
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti.
more, has received not less than nthree-fifths
or four hundred thousand dollars as their
share of the profits of the season.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad this
year, for the first time, to any great extent,
has had good share in the freight pro-
ceeds. A great quantity of fruit has been
sent ouer this road to the West, and as a
general thing has paid better than at any
other points, the smaller cities being
especially profitable to those who shipped
to them. The fruit shipped to New York
and Philadelphia has not paid anything OF
any amount, the shipments to other points
being decidedly more remunerative.
The growers have now commenced to
count the costs of their enormous yield, and
though those who have easy and cheaper
access to the markets, find themselves in
pocket, trife, but those who are free from
the markets, and who have been compelled
to pay heavy tariffs, and have not had an
opportunity to profit by the exertions of the
growers at Middletown, have been compelled
to foot up their balance-sheets with de-
cided credit for the loss column. Sussex
comfy has suffered especially, and
the lower Maryland counties have
not had much the advantage of our
lower county. The growers generally ex-
press the opinion that the failure of the crop
to be remunerative will result in the grub
bing out Of many Of the orchards, and an
old peach king said to HERALD reporter
Yesterday, that he believed that at least one
third, if not onc-half of the trees on the Pc.
ninsula would be cut out before the close OF
the Fall, and some of the ground sowed
with wheat.
We have given above the shipments by
rail, adding to this 100000 of baskets
WHICH have probably been sent to market
by water, will make an aggregate shipment
Of $500, 900 of baskets.
Altogether the season has been an unfor
tunate one for the growers, and will effect
, the trade Of the Peninsula very sensibly.

Mr., Columbus s. Crook, an Insurance.
agent. committed suicide on Sunday morn
ing last, at his residence on Preston street
by cutting his throat with q razor. Fol
some months past Mr.. CrOok had exhibited
signs Of sheraton Of mind, and at one
time his family found it necessary, in. con.
sequence of his threat against bis own life
and for their own safety, 10 send him 70 an
asylum for treatment. About ten o'clock
on Sunday morning his wife aqd daughters
discovered him dead in his room, lying up
on his face, a. if he had fallen from a
chair, with a pool of blood surrounding
him. Mr.. Crook Immediately sent for his
brother, who summoned Coroner George
C. Ogle, Of the western district TIE cpr-
oner arrived at Mr.. Crooks residence be-
tween eleven and twelve o'clock, and upon
examining him discovered t,at he bad cut
his throat, severing the jugular vein.s The
razor with which the deed was committed
was still clutched firmly in his hand. Life
was entirely extinct and the body cold.
His watch, however, when taken from his
pocket, was still warm. The coroner sup
posed the deed to have been done between
nine and ten o'clock in the morning. Cor
oner Ogle being satisfied that the case was
suicide did not deem it necessary to sum-
mon jury Of inquest, and in making his
report Of the case to the police department
omitted to indicate the real cause of death.
The burial certificate, however, states that
it was suicide, and inquiry developed the
facts. Mr.. Crook was fifty two years Of
age, and leaves wife and three children.

FELTON,, Del, Sept. Goth, 1875.
Let the pen of your humble servant drop
you a few more words, and few indeed they
must be this time, for it is getting so cold
down this way that one needs a rousing
winter fire to keep from freezing. On last
Friday morning the frost was so heavy that
quite a little damage was done to the fodder
left uncut. The sweet potato vines were
also considerably injured, and no longer
does the blue-eyed hopper grass sing his
sweet melodies from the topmost branch of
frost bitten corn.
We feel very much blessed when we con-
sider how remarkably we have escaped be-
ing tormented to death by that species of
genus homo commonly known as the peach
pluck. Brethren rejoice with US!
To-day the number Of Students at the
Seminary was greatly increased, many of
them coming unexpected. The building
under the supervision ofthe Principal, and
by the order of the Trustees, is being put
into far better condition than it has hereto
fore been, and the students will find much
more attractive home.
Coal is had here much cheaper than it can
be had any where along the road, from the
fact that those desiring it order it direct
from the mines, and 1t thus does not pass
through the hands of coal dealers and spec
ulators.
The congregation of the PRESBYTERIAN
