The PENINsULAR AGRICULTURAL & PoMo- |
LOGICAL AssOCIATIoN.-The annual fair of
this Association will be held at Middletown
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Oct. |
ID, Sd and 4th. This is the fifth, and the
managers expect that it will be the largest,
best and most agreeable of any they have
yet given. They have made arrangements
with the railroads for excursion tickets at
reduced rates. This association has taken
great pains in having their grounds in
complete order, and have had fine displays
of articles in the Ladies department and
of stock and agricultural implements. For
premiums &c. see adv. in another column
THE DIAMOND Crown PHosPHATE.-This
is new candidate for public favor put into
| the market by A. Lee Cummins, who is en-
| tering on the enterprise in a way that
means business. His factory at Smyrna
Landing is now in full operation, and Mr..
| C. is making bold effort to come
to the front without long period of pro-
baton. 1t has been used by two or three
parties the past year or two, and they
! testify, as will be seen in his advertisement,
that it is all that has been claimed for it
and fully up to their expectation. State
chemist Wolf at Newark is analizing this
phosphate and its composition will be
made known as soon as he has finished the
analysis. He is also manufacturing a first
class Poudrette which will also be at lower
prices than it has formerly been sold.
"WHEN THE SWALLOWS HoMEWARD Fly"
The martins and barn swallows are now
getting ready for their southern fight.
You can now see them congregating, and,
as it seems, in daily consultation about
their journey toward the tropics. In per-
haps another week they will be off and
we will see no more of them until the latter
part of March coming. The query that
naturally arises is, where do they stay dur
ing the winter. Probably they sport in the
sunshine at the South, amid the ever
blooming flowers at the equator. True,
they are an American bird, and South
America may be the limit of their southern
flight. They are first seen in the United
States lin Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama
: and Florida) about the first of February
1t has been demonstrated that the same
birds find their way back to the same
boxes year after year.

Hope was indicted in the U. S. District
Court, in Baltimore, Md, for perjury

OF superior to any other in this section. Ih
no put in from IS to $40 worth more fertlllzll

II advantage of farmers to buy this tertllH
ay in preference to others. The advantag
they have over other manufacturers
OF which they are capacitated to make mu
he better phosphate are the followlng'
ry, They buy their bone in large quantlt
be- in Texas and in the West, and is shlpp

the advantages they have bone breaker q
