The prospect Of large yield Of wheat was
never better in Delaware than it is at present.
The referees of award to those claiming dam
ages for the passage Of the Rehoboth railroad
met in Lewes during the past week and settled
the various demands Of the claiments The
total amount Of money thus awarded reached
the sum fSl, 100.
In regard to the effect Of the late cold snap
upon the coming peach crop, the Smyrna
Times says: The ripple among the peach grow
ers caused by that northern blast has some
what subsided, but the general opinion is that
the best paying varieties, Crawford, early and
late, Moore, Reeves Favorite, Stump-the-
World and others that are called middle varie-
ties are very seriously injured or nearly de-
stroyed The early, such as Beatrice, Hale,
Troth, York and Mountain Rose, and the ate,
such as Susquehannah, Croeket's White,
Smock and salway, are not 50 badly injured,
and, should no further disaster oyertake them,
will produce a fair crop.

The "New York Opera House Company
played Uncle Toms Cabin at the Town
Ball, Wednesday evening last. The audience
was a slim one; probably consisting of not
over I25 persons. The play was rendered in
an exceedingly acceptable manner, all the
parts being assigned to those who knew how
to handle them Tie parts of Topsy, Aunt
Ophelia, Marks 1.-THE lawyer), and st. Clair,
were particularly wen rendered. The part of
Eva was neatly and cleverly rendered, though
taken by girl rather large for the natural
rendition Of the character. The evenings en-
tertainment concluded with the farce of Humor
Pussy" which literally brought down the
house" The performance was repeated on
Thursday evening to fair house. The South
Carolina Jubilee Singers, consisting Of five
colored men, with this company, possess good
voices and delineate old time plantation scenes
in a very satisfactory manner.

THE Examination.

Public examination ofthe Middletown schools
was held in the Academy during Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this
week. The pupils Of the various classes ac-
quilted themselves in a manner which showed
application and study on their part and care
ful instruction at the hands Of Prof Wright
and his able assistants
Though subjected to a rigorous examination,
not only by their teachers but by parents and
friends the young idels, = as arule, answered
both promptly and correctly. Prof. Wrights
grammar class. which was examined Thursday
afternoon, was particularly noticeable for pro-
ficiency in that branch of study Prof Wright
and his able assistants have good reason TO be
proud Of the progress of their pupils during
the past year while parents should be, and
probably are, well satisfied with the result of
this weeks public examination A number
Of visitors were in attendance each day and
expressed themselves much pleased with the in
structive exercises. We regret very much that
we were unable to attend the examination eX-
cept for an hour on Thursday afternoon.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN BAKER.

/ Captain Joshua Baker, a we'll known
resident of this city, died last evening, a
his residence, No. 400 East Second street
in the Goth year of his age. His deatl
resulted from the injuries he sustained b,
severe fall at his house on Wednesday
Capt. Baker was a native of Whining
ton, and was born ON March 18th, 1910
In his early life he engaged extensivel,
in the manufacture of tobacco and cigars
and realized a handsome competency.
Afterwards becoming somewhat EN-
feebled in health, and thinking that his
condition would be benefited by follow
ing the water, he purchased steamboat,
and placed 1t on the line between this
city and Penngsrove, n. j., which had
been made vacant by the withdrawal OF
the steamer Botirdr. Under his manage
ment the line became prosperous and pop
ular. lie soon sold his first steamer, the
Gypsy, and replaced it with the we'll
known steamer Osceoid, which he fitted
up in comfortable style, and run it as an
excursion boat, in addition TO making the
regular trips.
Captain Baker continued steamboating
until 1867 or 1868, when he sold the OS-
ceotd and retired from business life hav-
ing amassed comfortable fortune and
becoming one of the wealthiest men in
the immediate neighborhood. During
this time he served one term as a mem
Der of City Council from the Second
Ward, two terms as member of the
Board of Health, and for the past two
years has been member of the Board of
Trustees.
Capt. Baker was man OF fine person.
al traits, kind and agreeable, and oblig-
ing to an unusual degree, never deeming
it any trouble to perform favor for
friend. He leaves wife and two child
rem, whose grief will be profoundly shar-
ed by very large circle of friends and
acquaintances. His funeral will take
place on Tuesday morning next, services
at the house at I0:30 o'clock.

tattered sail and beats his way slowly
southwark amid clouds Of gnats,
sand-tlies and mosquitoes, which sting,
bite and torment him almost beyond
the powers of endurance.
To those smitten with the orange
fever, who fondly imagine that exis-
tence even during the hot season may
be made endurable and even pleasant
by swinging III hammock beneath
the spreading branches of some giant
live oak and quenchin2 their thirst
with the luscious juices of our tropical
fruits, we would say that with the ex-
ception Of the lemon which bears the
year round, all our fruits ripen during
the fall and winter. Oranges are no.
fit for use before October and are sell
dom shipped before December-shad-
docks, lines and grape fruit, about
the same time, and quavas somewhat
earlier. Nothing hourishes during
the rainy season, (June, July and
August except sugar-cane and sweet
potatoes. Gardening commences in
September, and January is the favor
ite month for planting corn.
Fishing during the rainy season is
good.
And if you can endure the heat
you may don your broad brimmed
palmetto hat, then swing your ak
over your shoulder, and if you
have keen eye a tramp of half a
day through the pine woods will prob
ably reward you with the discovery Of
a bee-treo continuing from thirty-fve
to forty pounds Of honey clear as
crystal and with comb white as snow.
Ycu can enjoy clam bake when
ever you choose.
AS for clcthing-well you don't
need anything here in the stock
region, except perhaps a paper collar
and pair of spurs.
Such is summer life in South Flor
ida. To the few who love novelty in
any form it offers superior attractions,
but the vast majority of practical
people who love good fare, good
health and good company, had better
stay at home. RAMBLER.
