Considering the early state of the
season these shipments arc very large
for on Saturday, as on that day the
shipments are generally smaller than
usual, on account of there being no
market the next day.
The Baltimore sur says
On Saturday 10000 boxes and baskets
of peaches were at light street, and good
fruit wa all worked of, shippers for the
West being large purchasers. Nearly
oil the stock was Of the Troth variety,
only lew Icrks, MiIons, CrawfcrdS
Mountain Rose, and one or two other va
rieties coming. Sales were made at from
~ to so cents per boz, shippers paying
from 40 to 20 cents, inclu ling the boxes.
Peaches not in order for shipment sold
at almost any price from 10 to 80 cents
per box and 10 to 90 cents Fer basket the
latter being about tho best rate for fruit
in baskets. which are not bought by
shippers. All the receipts of the day
we're not sold, hut shippers in the after
noon would have taken 1000 more boxes
OF suitable fruit il it could have been
had, and would have paid so cents for

\ GRAY horse, which in lifetime Of twenty
eight years had travelled with n circus, been mort
gagged four times, served in the rebellion, and
been less gloriousy useful in his old age at farm
work. died recently at Ocon.o, Wisconsin. His
name was Robinson Crusoe and he was called
Bob for short by familiar acquaintance. His
owner had Il colin made of black walnut hand
somely finished, and bearing plate inscribed with
the name and age, The funeral was attended by
two hundred villagers, After speech laudatory
Of the dead horse, procession was formed like
this Band of musc coffin ON truck drawn by
six horses Bob's mate, heavily dmped with Grape
moumers aioot The route to the grave was
through the main street Of the village A halt
was made to allow photographer to make a pic
ture of the pageant At the grave there was a
discussion as to whether the coffin, which was
shaped to hold the animal with his legs naturally
extended, should be buried on the side or stand
ing up edgewise' Some argued that the horse
should lie on his back, just like human corpse
Others that he should be LEFT IN standing attitude,
as IN life and third party held that he ought to
repose on his side The owner, who had intended
no burlesque, decided to bury his favorite in the
latter way and so this strange funeral rite ended
decorously

NEW HAMPSHIRE AT THE Centennial.
New Hampshire is expected to make a
much better exhibition at Philadelphia than
was at first considered probable. The New
Hampshire light battery, of Manchester, with
fifty men, has voted to attend, and will prob
ably take the brass field piece captured from
the British by General John Stark, at Ben
nington, now in possession of the town of
New Boston. The Portsmouth Artillery
Company, organized in l775, under the Pro
yincial Congress, will also turn out This
company was present at the laying of the
cornerstone of Bunker Hill monument, in
1928 and also at the completion, twenty-five
years after. Colonel Marsh, the originator
and constructor OF the Mount Washington
railroad, will exhibit at the Centennial Sec
ton of his mountain railway, with engine
and ear.
