The hot weather has caused no serious

above 90o every day but one or two Twice

IT is safe to predict little on the peach
crop now, and nearly all the growers
around Smyrna tell us that the. yield will
be very slim. The usual June fall of the
young fruit has been very heavy and so
long continued that many orchards which
promised well two or three weeks ago are
now well nigh stripped of fruit The
Hales, as usual are rottinG as the hot suns
color them.
The directors Of the new bank in this
town, the "Fruit Growers National" hold
meeting tomorrow morning at $50 to

preparatory to opening. 1t is proposed to
open next Tuesday. The banking house is
a nicely fitted.up institution, and will com
pare favorably with any in the State. The
Subscriptions to the capital stock now
amount to about $4,000. The "notes" or
paper money Of the institution will be ready
for issue about August 1st
CHAs. II. REGISTER, (our Levy Court COM
missioner,) living "down the Neck" has
succeeded in propogating a new species of
blackberry that is far superior to the
Kitatinny, Wilson, or other varieties. 1t is
hybrid Of the cultivated kinds with the
wild dewberry, and is larger, decidedly
sweeter, and ten days earlier than the old
varieties. This is the second season he has
had them on the market. Their flavor
makes them exceedingly palatable for the
table-raw, with sugar and cream. The
farmers call them Registers kind or
"Register's Superb
WRECK OF THE FALcoN.-The steamboat
Falcoa, Capt. Hallenger, plying between
Rothwells Landing and Phila., ran into a
snag in the Creek last night, Just as sho
was making the wharf at RothwelIs, on tie
down trip, and stove hole in her bow.
She got crosswise the Creek, and her bow
and stern rest on the opposite banks, thu.
preventing her from settling deep into the
water. She had large cargo, which will
be somewhat damaged, though not to a
very great extent, a., by the use Of the
pumps, the water was kept from rising in
the hold until the freight was looked after
The boat will prove a total loss, it is sup
posed. She was owned by parties in Phila
delphia. We understand that another
boat will be put on the route Immediately
