The corn crop of Sussex was never better.
ALI oAer the county the yield has beent
above the average. As the fodder Is now
saved, and the grain free from any injury
incident to the season, the farmers of that |
section who have been wise enough to plant
largely, can the more easily appreciate the
value of such crop-whilst balancing their
accounts with the peach.-Ners.
The cultivation of the grape on the Della
ware Peninsula is assuming the proportions
Of staple product, and annually increases.
Extensive vineyards have been established
in various localities, among which are Sails
bury, Westover. Cambria &c, Potter's Land
ing and other places in Eastern Maryland,
and Milford, FELTON,, Seaford and many
other localities in Delaware. The most ex-
tensive grower is. perhaps, a son of ex- Gov.
Roes, of Seaford, who ships daily several
tons of grapes.
1t is now settled fact, says the Snow
Hfli Messenger, that the Frankford aud
Brerkwater and its continuation, the Wor-
cester and Somerset Railroad, will be ex-
tended to some point on the seaside, oppo-
site Chincoteague, which has not yet been
determined upon. The extension is already
built to Girdle Tree Hall, in Worcester
county, and it is expected that the cars will
be running to Stockton, below Snow Hill, in
the next ten days. Another locomotive has
been placed on the road.
The Milford Ntus says that the Manayunk
and the Farmers insurance Companys, of
Pennsylvania, each having sustained loss
of $1,000 by the late fire which destroyedthe
Alden Works in that place, have already
settled their losses in full This prompt
action on the part of these companies-en-
abling the Alden Company at once to rebuild
their factory-becomes more praiseworthy
from the fact that the insurance was taken
only few days before the fire occurred and.
indeed, the policy was written out, and for
warded after notice had been received of
the fire, and yet after a careful investiga-
tion total loss was at once reported and
promptly met.
