Tho first peaches of the season that were

Bull, were safely packed in the large
refrigerator of the steamship Ohio as she
steamed off from her wharf at the foot OF
Christian street, Delaware river, yester-
day morning. There were two thousand
four hundred and fifty crates of peaches, Of
the finest varieties, the principal one being
Reeves favorite, which is very 'eautiful
peach. This variety has not yet appeared
in our markets it is very firm, and as the

is probable that they will bear the expert

webb'S Great Swim.

HE CROSSES THE ENGLISH CHANNEL
TwENTY-TwO HOURS AND FORTY THREE
MINUTEs-HR BEATS BOYNToN two
HOURS.
Captain Webb, who started on his seconi
attempt to. swim the English Channel from
Dover to Calais on Tuesday, at one O'Clock
in the afternoon, arrived at the latter place
on Wednesday, at'noon, after being in the
water twonty-twO hours and fOrty-three
minutes, nearly three hours longer than the
time in which he calculated to accomplish
the journey.
At half-past five P. NJ, he was progress
ing at the rate of twenty strokes a minute,
the sea and weather being favorable. He
was furnished with :le and beef tea, and
again at P. NJ. with beef tea and beer.
After that he rested on his back for While.
| At nine O'Clock he became troubled with
seaweed, and 1T eleven he took draught of
cod liver oil. When the moon rose, at one
in tie morning, some brandy and tea were
administered to him, Webb declaring at
the same time that the swim across was a
safe thing" 1i.y u1A. I.--l-. ...vg ~ :
At three A. NJ. he took some coffee. At
this time the tide turned northward, and
Webb appeared exhausted. 4 His trainer
stripped and held himself in readiness to goi
to Webb's assistance, but Webb laughingly
declined the proffered aid. 80
At this time he was still keeping up O
pace of twenty strokes per minute. Fears
were entertained that the northern tide drift
would throw Webb abreast of Calais sands,
as the sequel proved. ....,,,.
At four o'clock A.. NJ, and four miles
further progress, daylight broke. Webb
was drowsy, and coffee and brandy were
given him. At halfpast five Riden's buoys
were in sight and their position located. At
seven o'clock westerly breeze sprung up
and chopping sea followed, making the
prospect extremely discouraging but the
indomitable pluck of the swimmer never
faltered. Lgi..l[y Il .-
A small skif kept on the weather side of
Webb, who was now swimming slowly and
had just partaken of brandy sstright.
Every twenty minutes soundings were
taken at eight and ten fathoms. Steamers
came out from Calias and steamed along |
side the gallant swimmer on the weather
side, the sea breaking all the while. Cheers
upon cheers went up, and Webb seemed to |
feel their inspiring Influence.
He laid direct course for Calias Sands, |
westward Of the pier, and at half past ten
A. NJ, was in shallow water. d. 4aG |
At forty minutes past ten A. NJ. the |
heroic Webb stood on French soil, tired, off
course, but very shortly recovered. Hey
was conveyed to a hotel in carriage, rub
bed down, put to bed, and at one O'Clock,
when the HERALD correspondent sailed for |
Dover, Webb was TRANQUILITY asleep, and the
doctors had no fears of any serious conse-
quenees. - - .g"-- "a[| t

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN.

Editor Of the Herald: have something
to bring before the notice Of the people
Not long since, the purchasing committee
for buying coal fer the County Almshouse
received bids for coal. There were several
put in and duly opened, but notwithstand-
ing the fact that the contracts are always
awarded to the lowest bidder, in this in
stance it was awarded to the highest bid
der. l hope sincerely the committee may
furnish some enlightenment on this sub
ject, for it is sadly in order to know whether
the rules usually observed in such things
have become obsolete. JAx.
