The PRoDucr OF THE CASSERIEs,-A failure
of the peach crop, last season, compelled the
canneries down the Peninsula to operate princi-
pally on tomatoes, the result being that very
large quantity was put upon the market The
result has been that prices have taken . consid-
erabe tumble, but notwithstanding this fact the
canneries have generally, We understand, done
very fair business, the previous heavy margin
enabling them to sell at great reduction with
out an actual loss. The most Of the canneries
except those holding stock for rise, have dis
posed Of their entire stocks, and the new ones
while creating a market for thor product
have done very we'll. The present prospect is
is that heavy stock will be carried over to next
season, the dealers having large supplies OH
hand, but if the peach crop should prove good
one, less tomatoes will be canned this season,
and a create demand will be felt for them

Geo. VIM. Curtis, in his speech u
Concord, the other day, gets off the
following, which is IS good a reply
to the stale cry Of the "degeneracy
of the times" as we have seen:
"There is q cynicism which fondiy
fancies that in its beginning the
American Republic moved proudly
toward the future with oil the spien-
did assurance of the Persian Aerxes
descending on the shores OF Greece
bat that it sits to-day among shat
tered hopes, like Xerxes above his
aims at Salamis. And when was
this golden age? Was it when jonn
Adams appealed from the bssensss
of his own time to the greater candor
and patriotism OF this? Was It
when Fisher Ames mourned over lost
America like Rachael for her chill
dren and would not ue comforted.
Was it when William Writ said he
sought ia vain for a man ht for the
Presidency or for eat responsibility.
Was If when Chancellor Livingston
saw only a threatening future, be-
cause Congress was SO feeble: was
il when we ourselves saw the indus
try. the craftsmanship, the conscience
of America seemingly PROSTATE un-
der the foo, of slavery Was this
the golden age Of these sentimental
siShs, this the region behind the
north wind OF these reproachiai re.
gretss And is it the Young nation
which with prayer and faith, with
un,iring devotion and unconquersoie
will has lifted its bruised and broken
body from beneath that crushing heel
whose future is distrusted:
Nay, this very cynicism is one OF
the foes that we must meet and con-
quer."

where they are built to Withstand

constitute a work of stupendous
magnitude and cost. In the case of

RATS of fascines made of willow
osiers, often from 100 to $50 yards
square, strongly secured together,
and making compact mass. These
are fioated over the place they are
intended to occupy, where they are
guided by poles sunk in the bottom,
and are loaded With stones or with

The buffalo gnat, spoken Of in the
dispatches in the daily Register as
being SO destructive to mules and
horses in the neighborhood Of Mem
phis, Tennessee, is fly Of more than
the usual malignity Of such insects.
1t is not the black gnat Of Northern
New England, or Of the northern
parts Of Europe, which is SO trouble
some in those regions. This buffalo
gnat is larger, has a mouth furnished
with bristly stings and flexible
sheaths. They pierce the skin to
obtain blood, but at the same time
inject an irritating, poisonous fluid.
They abound most in moist and
swampy places, as their larvae are
inhabitants Of water. They are ten
times worse on horses and mules
than the green fly OF the Sangamon
country in Illinois. The common
small gnat can be successfully CON-
battsd by greasing the parts Of men
or animals exposed, but the buffalo
gnat can only be warded off by thick
and close blanketing.
