THE intellect of an interior postmas-
ter is occasionally a frightful object of
contemplation. A specimen brilliant
reported to the department. He sent
up postal card to the dead letter office
that was written on one side only. The

upon the back of the card $4,000 words.
The postmaster, held the card for post
tho 4 hot 1

THE experiment of shipping peaches
from his country to England on the re-
frigcrator plan, has at length proved sue
Cessful. A steamer from New York has
succeeded in landing peaches OF London
and Liverpool in good condition. A few
weeks ago two thousand five.hvndred
crates of fruit we're shipped on an expert
ment, on vessel of the Philadelphia ne
to LiverpoC but owing to the INSULT
cheney of ice, the whole lot was woI. bless
on reaching England. The Queen had
sent a special messenger to make pur-
chases of the fruit for the royal family,
and there was much disappointment over
the failure. The recent success will open
up a new channel of trade for our peach
growers.
WE have the last news from the Alert
and Discovery which we shall receive for
many month. This word comes by her
majesty's steamship ValOrous, which
acted as eonsort to the arctic ships, and
parted with them at Disco July 18th.
From English sources we learn that the
Discovery will probably winter in lati-
tude. SO north, while the Alert will
push on to SO north, if possible Should
no land be in sight to the northward Of
Grinnel Land, Captain Mares will win
ter close in-shore and endeavCr to push
northward the following summer. But
should land be sighted to the north, the
Alert will be taken this fall to as high {
: latitude as possible Should the expedi
ton not return before 1877, a relief-shiI
will then be dispatched from England.
