Peach growers in vicinity of Milford, are
not talking ofreducing their orchards, but are
actually doing it. An orchard of several
thousand treeswas grubbed off Gen. .Terbett's
farm last year; and si.ce the last peach har-
vest, Col. Fiddeman has dug up an orchard
of some three or four thousand trees. Sev-
eral other growers in this vicinity haye like
wise curtailed their acreage to greater or
less extent. We have not heard of any farm
er rash enough to take up all his trees, and
the more rational and conservative doctrine
of smaller orchards and better culture is
likely to prevail.

A LIFE IN DANGER.

| BURGLARS DESPERATE AsSAULT-A PHI
ToL SNAPPED THREE TIMES IN THE FACl
OF MTLLEK-THE BURGLAR BEATS HIN
TO THE GROUND AND ATTEMPs TO HURl
HIM OVER A TWENTY FEET WALL.
On Thursday morning, at very early
hour, one of the most persistent attempt'
to take human life without any apparent
reason, other than robbers malice, wal
attempted near this city, that we have heard
of for some time, the particulars of which
are as follows:
Amos Brinton, who is the miller at Ri H.
artlson's -four mills, in this city, on the New
port pike, was disturbed early OH Thursday
morning by the noise caused by some per-
sons shoveling flour from chest in the mill
below his room. Creeping from his bed he
was just in time to see two men, each with a
large bag OF flour struggling up the hill.
He hallooed to the pair. who Immediately
drOpp0d the booty and scampered Oft. Brin-
ton, supposing that the roboers had made
good their flight, advanced to carry the
flour, which they had dropped, back to the
mill, and was in the act Of STOPPING to
right one of them up, when one of them
jumped from the bashes and stepped to his
side. Brinton ordered him to carry one Of
the bags back to the mill. which the man
began to do.
The two had perhaps advanced half way
to the building, when the burglar, who was
a few feet in the rear, dropped his burden,
pulled pistol from his pocket and snapped
| it in the very face of Brinton. The weapon
fortunately did not 60 Oft, but again It was
presented at the head of the now stricken
miller and again the pistol refused to do its
deadly work, and third attempt resulting
as had the other, the villain grasped his
pistol by the barrel and dealt his victim q
full blow upon the forehead, which felled
him to the ground.
This did not satisfy the brutality of the
would-be robber, and the unoffending mil
Ter was horribly beaten with the pistol, then
the villain dragged him to wall twenty
feet high which winds up by road to the
mill door, and was about to hurl him from
the top. Brinton by this time had gained
consciousness, and although an old man of
seventy years, vigorously resisted the ut
tempt upon his life, and before the assail-
ant could consummate the deed, had Jr 'ght
ened the villain off.
Brinton dragged himself to the residence
of Mr.. Richardson, near the mill and was
provided with kind attention. He is
now however doing we'll. Both of the rob-
bers were eolored men, Brinton having dis
tinctly recognized each. 1t is said that one
was Bill Lewis, well-known desperate
character, and the other Samuel Pediman.
Efforts have been made to capture both but
as yet there has been no clue obtained as to
their whereabouts.

Newall, and William Elmer, medical ex-

One of the features of the trial was intro
duced in the person of witness, with
a ball in his brain, which lodged
there in the late war. His faculties are un-
impaired, and he daily performs hard mum
ual labor. 1t is admitted that the defence
is making out long case tending to prove
malpractice.

IN A MOODY MOOD.

On Thursday evening, at $50 o'clock, the
Grocerymen's Moody and Ssnkey excursion
left this city for Philadelphia to hear the
great revivalists. Everything went on
finely until the arrival of the excursionists
at the Tabernacle, Thirteenth and Market
streets, Philadelphia, when, to their disap-
pointment and spiritual loss, they found the
building crowded to excess. The party were
very much disgusted and returned home,
expressing words about Moody and Sankey
that the Evangelists are not supposed to
think of. The committee of the excursion
did make the arrangements for reserved
seats but they were taken possession of by
the great crowd of people.

Last evening in the Fame Engine
House, West Second street, the Firemen's
Centennial Association held meeting to
consider the action to be taken in connection
with the Centennial preparation. It was
resolved to adopt the following circular:
TO THE CITIZENS OF DELAWARE.
1t is admitted by every public-spirited
citizen of our State, that Delaware should
be represented on the Centennial grounds,
like her sister States, by the erection Of
building as q headquarters for our people
visiting the exhibition, and which shall at
the same time exhibit in its architecture,
some distinguishing feature of our products
The efforts so far made in this direction
having proved abortive, the Volunteer Fire
Department of the city of Wilmington pro-
pose, if possible, to procure by subscription
sum sufficient to accomplish this purpose.
1t is earnestly hoped you will contribute. 1t
is proposed that the building shall be built
of the native woods of Delaware, and that
1t shall be fitted for the convenience and
comfort of our citizens while on the grounds.
The funds so raised will be turned over to
the State Centennial Commission, to be ap
piled to the purpose for which they are col
lected. -. IA
Any amount that you may feel disposed
to contribute to this laudable purpose, will
be thankfully received.
Subscriptions sent to the Chairman of the
Association, George Mccall, 124 Market
street, or the Treasurer of the Association,
Joseph X. Adams, 5O6 Market street, will
be publicly acknowledged.
A resolution to lay out the city IN dis
riots that it might be more thoroughly can
vassed for subscriptions, was passed, also
thai committee from each Fire Company
should take district. It was further re-
solved that the Committee serve the circu-
lars in each district.
A committe to secure the services of
Daniel Dougherty, of Philadelphia, to de-
liver lecture for the benefit of Associa-
tion was appointed as follows: Joseph
Adams, Benjamin Richardson and Joseph

NOVEL STEALING.

A colored individual who lives near Hare's
corner, . few nights since, received o
friendly visit from q couple of his copper
colored neighbors. Twas when the pipes
were lighted, and every guest was pleased,
one OF the visitors begged dat de broder
would jist excuse him for berry little
while, and adding, also, "my friend will
talk wild you till my retura," he walked
out. The visitor, however, being attracted
in another direction, did not return. Visitor
No. 2, after waiting for his friend, bade the
geneial host good night, and walked away.
Our host, having occasion to visit his chick
en-house, discovered that 1t was minus the
live stock that belonged there. He pursued
the last visitor, and found him at Newark,
kneelng in devout prayer in church. He
protested dat dem fowls neber left dat hen
house thro' him. No sir, don't yer insinu-
ate dat deacon would do sich thing as
dat am. The unfortunate one returned
home. and the man who stole the chickens
has not yet called upon his friend to explain
dat little trick.
ATTEMPT TO BURGLARIZE.
On Wednesday night last, four men at-
tempted to break open the grannery of Enos
Walkers, near this city, but they were de-
tected in the act by young Walters, who
shot at them several times, and they scamp
cred off.
The night was bright moonlight and they
were easily recognized as colored men.
WHO TIRE THAT BR1cKs
On Thursday evening last, Mr.. James
Stroup, a farmer, residing near Bear Sta
ton, on the Delaware Railroad, heard
noise in his henery as though some one was
trying to remove few of the feathery in
mates. Upon going out he discov-
cred swarthy son of Ham engaged in
lighenting hie hen roost. MI. .Stroup imme-
diately fastened the door of the chicken
house, thereby locking the thief in, and
then hurried to his house, where he pro-
cured his shotgun and, accompanied by his
daughter, returned to the scene of the dis
turbance. He then requested his daughter
to open the door while he would shoot at
the negro. The young lady had no sooner
compiled with her fathers request when
the negro. hurled brick from his prison
which took effect on Mr.. Stroup's forehead,
telling him instantly to the ground. The
thief then made good his chance Of escape,
and took to his heels, followed by the con-
tents Of the gun which Miss Stroup had dis
charged after him, but with what effect. is
as yet not known.
Assistance was then called, and Mr..
Stroup removed to his house, and doctur
sent for. Mr.. 8. was discovered to be
severely injured, his skull being crushed
where the brick had struck him, and the
back of his head badly cut by striking the
hard ground. His injuries will probably
prove fatal, as no hope Of his recovery is
entertained by his physician.
Every effort possible Is being made to dis
cover who the perpetrator of the deed was,
and to bring him to justice.

Mr.. Ashe of North Carolina, desired to

but the other declined to yield unless the
gentleman from North Carolina would say
he was for universal amnesty, Including

including Holden and all. Mr.. Blaine,
why did not your late Constitutional Con-
vention relieve him Of disabilities? Several
gentlemen, because the Convention did not
have power to do it. Mr.. Blaine thought
differently, and said these gentlemen must
come here with clean hands before they act
for amnesty for Mr.. Davis, don't come here
with that request while you are perecuting

He now again asked consent to offer his

the other side to strike out the clause ex

Mr. Banks said Mr.. Blaine could not offer
his bill. Mr.. Blaiue said he could do so If
unanimous consent were given. He made
another effort for unanimous consent and as
it was persistently refused, he said he would
then end the matter right here, and he
therefore withdrew the motion to recon-
slider and resumed his seat. Mr.. Randall
appealed to him not to withdraw the mo
tion, but the only response was demand
for regular order and thus the bill was de-
feated.

Food for chitaren.

. Children don't. like fat meat, SO give
them good bread and butter, and allow
them plenty OF sugar. A chemist will
tell you that both fatty substances and
saccharine or.sweet substances event.
ually oxidize in. the body. Sugar is
the form to which many other things
have to be reduced before they are
available as q aheat-making food; and the
formation of sugar is carried on in the
body. 1t has been proved that the liver
is a factory, in which other constituents
/ OF food are transformed into sugar.
Now, it is probable that your children
really need sugar to keep them mwell, and
IT Is fortunate that most children are
fond OF vegetable acids. A saucer OF
berries, or a ripe apple, is often a better
corrective : for, children's IA ailments
than dose OF medicine; yet, the major
ity OF parents give the nauseous dose
preference over fruit. II does seem
sometimes as If parents were occupied
more in denying than gratifying their
children's appeLtes,. This is neither
necessary nor fair. They get as tired OF
bread and milk as you would. And
what comes OF it? Simply, that as soon
as they have, an opportunity, they in
dulge their love for fruits and sweets tc
excess.
