More Peaches for Europe. GEe
Three crates Of peaches were shipped from
Middletown on Wednesday to go direct to
Liverpool, England. They were coated with
preparation of parafine made and patented
by gentleman from New York which, it is
claimed, will preserve them in perfect con-
dition for long while. When the fruit is to
be used it is only necessary to dip it in hot
water and the paraffine is removed, no trace
of it in taste or appearance being left. The
peaches were put up in the orchard of Mr.. H.
N. Willis under the superintendent of the
inventor Of the process, and will leave Phila-
delphia to-day per steamer for Europe
