NEWARK ITEMS.

About six weeks ago, things became so dull
around town and Newark was in such bad
way for items, that gave up trying to make
collections of them, and, for want Of better
employment, went to sleep. Upon waking up
al tie end of terrible dream about having to
write Newark Items for living, I found that
had been sleeping for over month. | was
very glad to hear it, for felt sure that some
thing must have happened in that time, and
so ] took a walk to see what it was. At first
| was disappointed. Every thing looked nat

Williamson's s store, with the same streak of
dirt below his left eye just as it always was
But upon looking across the street, at once
saw change. Mrs Wright's lady s store had
become hardware store, and now the ladies
have to go elsewhere for articles which used to
be found there in abundance. Perhaps they
still keep corsets, as they are hard (to) wear.
As went on noticed few other changes.
Mr. Richardson has opened a store in the P
o. building; Mr. O'Brien's tin shop has been
changed TO the other side of the street; Mr..
Caskey is living in his new house, which is
finished Mr. Janvier now keeps the cooper
ative grange store and A. L. Vandegrift has
livery stable at the Pearson Hotel
As went by the college I saw number of
students collected at each end Of a combination
OF waxed string cigar boxes and tin cans.
Upon inquiry found that it was telephone

THE PEACH ES.
GLEAEINGs FROM ALL SECTIONS.

1t is cutie probable that there will be more
peaches this year than the Oldest inhabitant
can remember -D0Uer DeldCdredH.
1t seems now TO be pretty well settled that
the Crawfords, Mountain Rose, Stump the
World and Old Mixon-the best varieties Of
the peaches-are seriously injured, and in
many orchards entirely destroyed, throughout
the Peninsula. Nearly all other varieties are,
so far, safe-Nilford Neacs.
Seaford correspondent Of EUery EUening
says: To make long story short in regard to
the peaches, it is enough to know that the
buds are dead beyond resurrection" in this
section. The damage TO strawberry plants by
the late frosts is slight. Our farmers, after
sad exp erience in peach culture, are gradually
turning their attention TO the growing Of
cereal crops-the only salvation from financial
ruin.
Another report from Seaford says: The
peaches about there are very seriously dam
aged and there Will not probably he anything
like full crop, but the growers think that
they will have as many as they can use with
profit The carly peaches are not at all in
jured
The Erstern Shoreman says the peach buds
in Wromico county were not materially in
iurcd by the late frost.
The West Chester Neaes Of Thursday says:-
Last night was damaging one to the fruit
CROP owing to the frost which stealthiy stole
upon vegetation. Marketers this morning told
us that the frost in many places was quite
heavy. We now await another wall from
"peachy'' Delaware, and peach baskets will
correspondingy lessen their dimensions.
So far the peach blossoms have not been ma
terially injured, except in some few orchards
where the blossoms are entirely killed. APP
pearances so far indicate there will be crop
above the average in this county. Apple and
pear blossoms are not injured very much if
any -Snolo Hill Messenger.
Peach Groves, it appears, were ''more
scared than hurt by the late freeze. From
all sections the information now is that no
more buds were killed than are required to de-
velop the fruit and that if no other disaster
occurs the crop viii be large enough to supply
any ordinary demand. great deal Of the
fruit will no doubt drop after being fully
! formed, and upon the extent Of this depends
| the amount OF the crop that will be harvested.
An average crop. we think, may be looked

strengthen its corps of writers, increase its
news facilities, and enlarge its sphere of ac-

opposed TO all monopolies and the uncompro-
missing fee Of all corrupt rings in municipal,
stale and national affairs. 1t will be the un-
yielding advocate of economy and reform in
every department of government, and will
fearlessly condemn that which deserves re-
buke, and cordially commend that which
commands praise, without stopping to inquire
what political party is affected thereby. The
news feature Of The Gazette will be, if posi-
BILE, more striking than ever. A regular news
bureau has been opened in Washington, and
the special correspondence from the national
capital will be unexceled by that Of any jour
nal in the country. Its special dispatches
will cover every news centre of Importance,
while the Associated Press will furnish it with

Execution Of La Page, the Murderer Of
Josie Iangmaid.

CONcoRD March -. Joseph la Page
the French Canadian who murdered Miss
Iangulid under circumstances Of pccul-
lar atrocity and brutality at Pembroke.
\. H., October I, 1873, WAS executed to-
day at Concord. He WAS very cool and
self possessed, ana met bis fate With
solid Indifference
At L o'clock the drop fell and his neck
was broken. At lib the body was cut
dowd and given to his relatives for burial
Thursday night La Page confessed fully
and freely, and described in detail how
he killed Josie Langmad. He gave a
map of the precise spot where be killed
her, and said that he hit her with a club
first, then cut her head of with knife.
that he killed her outright before She
knew it.
But there is yet another sad and re
voting chapter in the career of this hu-
man monster. The dreadful suspicion
that he was the man who outraged.
murdered and mutilated Miss Marietta
Ball, the Vermont school teacher, has
been confirmed by full admission of the
crime He confessed to this at the same
time that he told the story of Josie Lang
maids sad fate, and there was as total an
absence Of contrition exhibited in giving
the account OF the one as there was Of the
other. 1t will be remembered that the
crimes We're almost identical in character,
and the excitement in and around st.
Adams upon the finding Of the mutilated
remains Of the young school teacher was
most intense. She was a most beautiful
and estimable young lady, and La Page
had become fascinated with her in seeing
her pass by the field where he was at
