One of the editors Of the Rural New
Yorker states that turnips should be kept
cool in winter, almost freezing. And if
frozen solid and kept 50 all winter, and
thawed out slowly in the dark, their quality
is not injured, and they will come out fresh
and crisp in the spring. We have never
had turnips freeze after they we're pulled,
under any circumstances, without injury.

SHOOT THE TRAMP0.

Stealing and Bwr'sts0 Property and
I'sswIttssg Honssx. ..4.
Special Correspondence to Phila. "fImes. -
The tide of human beings from the dens
Of vice Of Philadelphia, Baltimore and New
York is now flowing into the peach regions
Of Maryland and Delaware to spend sum-
mer vacation in the country in mafauding
expeditions or to exc out an existence BY
the charity of the country folks. They are
'professi0hap tramps and have no desire
for employment, though they pretend to
come here to help gather the peach crop.
Just at the opening Of the fruit season
crowd of them went to tenant house on
the farm of E. R. Cochran, near this town,
and demanded food. It was refused them,
and day or 30 afterward they carried out
. threat by firing stable and then the
house, so that both were entirely consumed,
with most of their contents, causing quite q
loss. Mr.. Cochrsn's fields of corn, pota-
toes, etc., were then pounced upon by the
tramps, who, with hoes and spades, un-
earthed whole rows of potatoes, and to fill
In stripped the corn stalks for some dis
tance. One was arrested and committed to
New Castle jail, but the only effective way
of stopping the depredations was to shoot
two or three of them in the logs.
Last Friday night the Inhabitants of
Smyrna were aroused by the blaze of fire
In dwelling in the centre of the town,
which had been set on fire by tranps. Con.
siderable exertion on the part of the citizens
was necessary to save adjoining business
places. A demand for bread is refused with
reluctance, for every one fears his or hers
property will be set on fire and destroyed.
Hence there is almost q reign of terror in
this section.
Crowds are landed here daily by the
empty peach cars on the Delaware Rail-
road, aud at night they steal their way
back. On Monday evening one of the
tramps was caught between two cars and
had his leg badly mashed, while across the
track not a hundred yards distant fleht
was going on between others of the frater-
across the forehead with razor, requiring
immediate attention to save his life. Curses
and insults are offered hourly to female
housekeepers while the men are absent.
The town is subjected to the shame of see-
ing them parading the streets, in some in
stances half naked, and continually swear
ing the most horrible oaths. A sheep died
from the effects of the heat on Monday
evening and Immediately crowd of them
dressed it ready for cooking, after which
they made hearty supper off of it. Nor
were these men hungry, for it was known
that they had been fed short time before.
Our town is at present without police
officer, and we are at the mercy of these
tramps for the present, though some hope
is entertained that special policeman will
be procured soon. Z. a,,ph
