AT DOVER,

On WEUNESDAY 4, IuA 4 70, 1871.
This dryer was invented for the purpose Of
saving part of my own crop of peaches in
1875. Thousands of baskets of fruit had
rotted in my orchard. The Smocks and Late
White peaches were ready to dry when be-
gan, yet the peaches dried after that with
common stove without CRATE bars, sold for
two hundred dollars. improved the dryer
greatly in 1876 and this year, and claim that
It will dry fruits and vegetables so that they
will be nearly as lightand rich in color when
they are dry as when put fresh in the evapor
ator. That which darkens more fruit than
all else, is the vapor that is thrown off in
drying, and remains in the dryer until it
passes through all the fruit in the way to the
outlet.
Ny invention by the use Of tubes takes the
greater part of that moisture out of the main
chamber without its passing through the
fruit, and also supplies DRY HEAT to every five
trays continually, thus retaining the natural
color of the fruit by quick drying. When
the fruit is nearly dry it is slid into mIlder
heat in the finishing chamber.
The following certificates show what is
thought by those who have seen the fruit for
two years:

lb., also on Feb. 2sth, another shipment sold
at 80 cts. per lb. The market had declined
at least FIVE cts. per Id. on dried fruit since
the date of first sale, yet, the last lot being
the finest, we realized still higher figures for
them. AS regards the quality Of your peaches,
there has been nothing in this market, that
we have seen, that were equal to them, par
ticularly of the last you sent and denomi-
mated first quality, they not only are beauti-

Gam Thompson, an overgrown, stalwart villain,
was the cause OF another disturbance Monday
night This being too british to be called hu.
man and too unnatural TO be considered brute,
was locked up in jail Monday night after having
tremendously escaped lynohing by a Justly indig'
nant crowd, among whom were some Of our best
citizens Thompson has been frequently heard
from as wife beater, but his action Of Monday
night was one Of unparalleled cruelty not the
scrubby savage Of the West, nor the Wild Pata-
gonian, nor even the most degraded beast would
exhibit such degree Of meanness as did this
Thompson. He is a confirmed loafer, to begin
with, and his wife a patient, suffering woman
and the mother OF several small children, who
has been striving hard to gain means Of sub
slHtenoe for them BY sewing, was the victim ofhis
deyiltry. Monday night about 10 o'clock, the
people in the nelghborhood Of Fourth and Rex
streets were alarmed by a disturbance which pro-
ceeded from Thompson's residence, and which
proved to be a case Of extreme brutishness
Thompson's wife who gave birth to a child but
few days ago, was Knocked down by her hus.

about 10 most inhuman manner, until she was
In dreadful state Of physical suffering, and not
content with this he drove her into the street and
then procured anhaxe and broke to pieces the
sewing machine on which his wife depended for
a living for herself and children. The neighbors
gathered around, and seeing him with an axe
with which II Is stated he threatened to kill the
children, feared to attempt his arrest, as he is a
large and powerful man, The police was sought
for in vain for some time, until finally, Officer
Rlgler was notified and went to the scene and ar.
rested Thompson. The crowd had swelled to a
large number at the time the arrest was made
and they followed the officer and his man up
town threatening TO hang or drown him at every
step, but owing TO the decision of Rigler, no
active attempt was made. The officer, fearing to
trust the insufficient strength Of the city prison,
locked Thompson up in the county jail This
same villalnous individual has been mentioned
in the DRMocRAT before in the role Of wife
beater but In no instance has the case been so
aggravated as is this, and notwithstanding his
threats to place us In condition that would rem
der reportorial labor impossible, we still live to
give him this record.

Fernando Hane'sli little boy met with strange
accident at his residence on High street few
days since, The little fellow was standing at the
head Of the stairs with large nail In his mouth,
when, by, some missstep, he fell down stairs,
driving the nail nearly an inch and half thro
the roof Of his mouth. Itrequired nearly all the
force his mother could exert to pull the nail out
and strange TO relate, the little fellow has not
suffered any since, having slept as soundly the
night following the accident as ever.
