 The pears are Bartlett, B. .d'Anjou, Shel- don, Seckel, and Lawrence chiefly. Of cherries there are twenty-eight varieties. The orcharde are remarkably thrifty, and the oldest trees are about twenty years old. The soil is dry, rolling gravel, with some limestone; the trees are planted twenty feet apart and do not by any means seem to be crowded. The ground is ploughed several times in the year and kept fallow; except when thought advisable it is seeded to clover. The orchard is intersected by roads over six miles in length for the passage of wagons, and is bounded by a continuous row of apple trees set ten feet apart for four miles and half. The apple crop of last year was 30, 900 barrels. Twenty-four men and fourteen horses are employed hauling out the crop or in ploughing.
 The success of this orchard has not been achieved, nor is it maintained, without the closest supervision and most industrious work. Suckers and sprouts are removed as soon as seen the borers are watched and followed with vigor. Wires are used to reach them in their burrows, and the dam aged bark is removed with chisels. As trees fall, others are planted in their places.
 As the market for good fruit is extend ing every year, and foreign customers are seeking supplies, the business of growing fruit cannot fail te be profitable and per- manent. No other business pays better than this for the most skillful attention and management indeed, without these, it is vain to expect crop that will sell in the market for remunerative prices. Good fruit sells itself, and the grower is soon sought for by the purchasers. Those who desire to take lesson in things appertain- ing to the business, and to prove the truth of these facts. may well study the ways and methods Of MT. McKinstry and hi. orchard .-Rurdl Home.

DELHI, N. Y, May 18th, 1879

DELKI. N. I. May 18th, 1873.
 MR. ED1ToR:-Back again to Delhi all safe and sound. left Canaen Thursday morning, May 9th, with horse and wagon, driving across the country, distance of no miles, reaching here tired. dusty and hungry. Saturday afternoon. The country here ls looking finely now. We have been suffering some for ihe want of rain, but 1t is coming tbis afternoon. could see no difference in vegetation here and al Canaan, but near the Hudson It was fur more ad- vanced, then it was 8 few miles this side of the river. in the region of the Cats kill mountains, where it was much more backward.
 l have not forgotten the premise made you in my former communication to give you some description of thls place. Delhi Is beautiful town of about 2 800 lnhabi- tants. It Is the county town of Delaware County. It is located on the west branch of the Delaware river, and is the northeast terminus ot the DelLi branch, of the New York $ Oswego railroad. Its streets are broad, and lined ou each side with trees, principally sugar mapl,s. which just now iu their new foliage, are looking lovely All it's side walks are of blue flag stone, and these are the pride ot Delhi. Its water works are 0ery fine. It has five churches l and five resident ministers besides these | the Catholics hold service in Hall, and the colorea people in chapel. There are 8 resident lawyers, besides a number of stu dents; enough to keep things stirred up which suppose they generally manage tG do. There is sn Academy here which is said to be well sustained, good district school, and number of select schools. There is one Kindergarten school, and you may say to the little folks who remember Josie, that she attends it and likes it much The new Court house and County clerks office are as fine buildings of the kind as can be found Tn the stste-I mean county buildings-but the jail is g miserable old wooden concern, and makes sorry ap- pearance along side of the other county buildings. It is the intention to build a new one not very far in the future to cor= respond with the other buildings.
 There are large number of stores of va rious kinds and all the other branches oi business There is some manufacturing. but Delhi cannot be called a manufacturing town and I have often wendered-shut out from railroad communications as it has been until recentlY-what it is that has made the place. I suppose the answer if it IS the County seat and the centre of ' large farming distric'. There are four ho- tels-one temperance house at the other three you can get the ''critter." There are two fire companies, etc., etc. l suppose ii is cold here ID wiRter, but in summer Delhi is pleasant and attractive place. Numer- ous New. Workers spend the summer here. The mountain brooks abound in trout, and, of course, are a great attraction to those who delight in the rod. If Eye" editor ol the NEws will come up and see me, will show you where to find the spotted beau ties. The NEWS is a welcome visitor every week. I generally get 1t Thursday evening.
 Yours,
 E. H. w. HARDEN.
