THE LIBER1AN V1cr1Ms.-No more
colorcd people have come to the
city for embarkation on tho Liberian
ship since the publication in Zhe
Neacs and Courier Of the misfor-
tunes of those who did so. Those
victims are quartered in various
portions of the city, four or five
families being dubbed together in
q house. The mon seem to be
sober, frugal and Industrious. and
have been trying earnestly to obtain
work by which to support them
selves. It is to their credit that
not one Of them has been seen in
the least intoxicated or disposed to
boistcrousncss since their arrival.
They seem to regard their proposed
emigration as q religious pilgrims
age, and conduct themselves
accordingly. A number of them
who arc quartercd at ID and Is
Tradd street, express themselves as
very anxious to obtain plantation or
farm work. .-A'esos and Coayie,.

"Oh ali! Call in tomorrow, nav
your bill, and settle at tho desk,
sir."
And that was the stopping stono
that led to the subsequent court of
justice.
Mr.. Cash called tho next day and
settled, and instantly placed his
paper in the hards Of Mr. Beechers
anciont opponent, ox-Judge William
Fullerton, with instructions to pro-
ceed at once and recover for him all
that tho law provides.
Tho gontleman's other name is
Wright, but further information is
not yet offered on that subject.
Judge Fullerton simply knew him
rs Mr.. Wright. MIR. Ritter ad-
dressed him respectfully as Mr..
Cash, and Ford & Co., in the COM
pact person Of their literary partner,
were sorry to say that they had no in.
formation on tho subject.
Judge Fullerton yesterday had the
contract placed in copyist's hands,
md when seen last evening said
"The whole matter is in O nutshell,
and is very simple. Mr.. Beocher
made contract ten years ago, and
failed to keep it. In spite Of that,
he obtained $4,000 from us, and
subsequent royalties, all of which,
with interest, he must pay back,
besides compensating us for tho
damages we sustained"
"Docs Mr.. Wright stand precisely
as the original contractors stood q
"Precisely. He had bought all
their right, titlo and interest in tho

is terribly to blamo in the matter.

"And he didn't ?"
"And he wouldn't"

"Its worth hundred thousand
dollars"
"Will you use your influence to
have him finish the book 2"
'No. We won't allow him now.
He has been ten years fooling and
breaking his contract. He'd look
pretty to come up now and offer to
keep his agreement"
"When will you proceed q
"At once"
Judge Fullerton's client is repre-
scntod as bound to get what he can,
from his lucky venture, and when
rallied on his purchase of played

that, like Mrs. Toodles, he might.

Growing Wheat in Delaware.

The harvest is over and though large
part of the crop is still in the straw enough
has been threshed to prove that fair crop,
but not an extra one, has been produced.
This is satisfactory but the remarkably
low prices at which it sells is very discourag-
ing to all growers. The crop will not sell
for more than fifteen dollars per acre, and
this is all gone in the expense of growing
it, so that the farmer does not make
single penny off his crop. This is so dis
couraging that many growers would despair
and abandon all efforts at enhancing the
product if they knew what else to do!
Corn will pay no better, and fruit is such
an uncertain crop that there seems to be
nothing that promises any better for the
farmers of the Peninsula. Small fruit
growing has paid better this year than any
thing else, and though, those who have
kept up o regular succession of these, have
made something if all 60 at it, the business
will be overdone. Yet if we were farming
regularly, and wholly dependent upon it
for living, we should most undoubtedly
resort to the regular succession of fruit
crops, with a good evaporator to aid us in
economizing the products, and at the same
time raise wheat, corn, garden stuffs, meat
and butter, for home use, depending upon
my fruit for cash sales rather than adopt
the grain growing system. Those who have
done so, and done it well, in this locality,
have succeeded, while those who have half
done it or relied upon grain growing, have
not succeeded so we'll. Both theoretically
and practically this mixed system of farm
ing we'll planned and performed is and
does the best.
But we set out to say something on grow
ing wheat on the Delaware Peninsula.
have no great word of encouragement for
our agricultural readers in this direction,
yet we can only advise another effort /!
Turn your fallows, compost your manure
and get things in order to try again. Cover
all the crops that you can with manure
made on your own premises, and splice this
out with some good super-phosphate. 1t is
poorly worth while to SOW unless you
manure, and if you can manage to make
two bushels where you formerly had but
one, the low price will not make quite so
much difference with you.
From present reports it appears that the
Clawson wheat has not done well in this
locality, while the Fultz is complained Of as
falling badly. Both these may be the re-
suit of the exceptionally wet season. We
have grown the Fultz now for four years
and have had no trouble on this account
though we were forced to cut earlier than
usual this year to prevent falling There
are very few season in this country wher
wheat will be so liable to fall as this, be
cause of the excessive moisture, and the
resultant rank growth of straw. But We
await further accounts before reporting il
full on these points.-PeninsuJar Ne,cs.

In 1925 it sold at AZ cents in New York,

STRAWBERRY PLANrATIoNs.-The land for
strawberry plantations may be ploughed,
manured, cultivated and put in order dur
ing the present or the coming month and
if the season is favorable the plants may be
put out in August. We would plant some
of the most prolific of the improved varie-
ties. If the weather is veay dry the plants
will perish unless regularly watered. We
do not advise fall planting on a large scale
unless there is plenty of rain. If the season
is dry, better put it off until spring, but
usually the plantation can be made in
autumn.-Pe Peninsular Ne,cs.
Smyrna times., 1878-07-24

TURNIPs.-Ruta Bagas may yet be sown
on high warm soil well enriched, provided
the ground is moist enough to sprout the
seed. 1t is not wise if you have to SOW
them in dry, hot earth.
The flat turnip may be sown for month
yet and do the best in fresh new land.
Any rich or highly manured soil will
answer but sandy loan is best. An old
COW pen formerly was the favorite spot upon
which to put the seed.
