The Delaware and Maryland peach growers have
determined not to glut the market with peaches,
especially those of an inferior quality, as was done
last year. They are cutting down the varieties of
trees by which the market was oveIfowed and are
planting with finer sorts. Many thousand trees
have been cut down for this object. Another
change which they propose making is to keep all
their inferior peaches at home and dry or can them
in their own localities, to be retained for the winter
trade. By sending only first class fruit 10 market
they hope to realize remunerative prices and also
to utilize the inferior yield in the manner men-
toned.

Monthly Review.

We are glad to learn, by letter dated the 18th
December, that Mr.. Pratt and his family were get
ting comfortably settled at Buccaramanga, and that
Mrs. Pratt's health, in consequence of change OF
air, had greatly improved. The printing press
after some delay, and the exercise of good deal of
mechanical skill on the part OF Mr.. Pratt in repair
ing damages, had fairly got to work, and promises
to he very useful in several ways.
From Barranquila, we have intelligence as late
as the 18th January. All the members of the
mission were we'll. except that Mr.. Erwin suffers
occasionally from lame leg. which, however, does
not interfere with his school, as that is represented
az being in fourishing condition. Mr. and Mrs.
Hall have taken up their residence in the central
part of the city, which enable5them to prosecute
their work more adyantageouskg. They speak of
having experienced much kiT pesa from persons
residing near them.

boys and another for girls, each embracing about
thirty pupils -Four hundred dollars had been
raised in Matamoras and Brownsville, with which
lot was to be purchased for church building.
He hopes that funds will be raised in this part Of
the country to put up the proposed building, which
is very desirable should be done. He also speaks
of the need of an efficient female teacher.
From Pernambuco our latest dates are to the 9Th
of January. The brethren there had got their
monthly magazine fairly started, and they had the
prospect of securing for it an extensive ciruation
in Northern Brazil. We have no doubt it will be
eminently useful in promoting the cause of evan.
gelical religion in that part of the country.
From Campinas we have letters as late as the 9th
December. The members of the mission were well
at that time and the missionary work was going
on as usual. Several of the native members of the
church at Campnas bad removed to other parts
of the country. The loss to that particular church
by these removals, was more than compensated by
the wider diffusion of the truth that would result

they received the papers they returned to
the breakfast table, the Democrats TO read
the Register and the Republicans TO read

they emerged upon the streets, the coun.

made by each, and 1t was Of the following
character:

would be alright" And each proceeded
on his journey, under the impression that
the other had suddenly been converted to
his political creed.
