A Busy State.

From the North American Of to day.
Little as Delaware is in area, it is
great in peaches and berries. Last year
it shipped by one railway 100000
pounds of berries and l3, 800, 900 pounds
Of peaches. They loaded 1925 cars,
but three years previously, they: loaded
s747 cars Now however, the area in fruit
is greatly increased, and everywhere
the condition is promising and straw
berries, raspberries, klackberrirs and
peaches promise to exceed their maxi
mum in 1875, and to freight steamers,
and occupy factories, as well as load
railways.
The men and maidAns who have been
busy civilizins savage world with the
judicious oyster, are turning their at
tention to new and as palatsble and
perhaps profitable pursuits. The State
is great field of color, juice and per-
fume, for which the hardest times make
a call, and leave many openings when
bar iron is drug, and sheetings and
shir.ings are a vexation. The first
heralds have come to hand and proph
esy for their successors. The welcome
they receive is unalloyed and universal,
and for two months Delaware will be in
the mouth of every one.

A Murderer Hanged.

Peter Swinglsr, colored, was hanged
at Chambersburg, Pa, yesterday, for
the murder of John Anderson, colored
at ball. Peter exhibited remarkable
nerve, placed the rope around his neck,
removed it to make a short speech,
then replaced it. The sheriff removed
it again until after prayer by Rev. DR..
Crawiord, when the cap was placed
over Peters head, the rope readjusted
and the trap sprung. He was pro-
nounced dead in ten minutes. In his
speech Peter said whiskey and bad
company had been the cause OF his
trouble, and advised all to abstain
from both.

burying the unfortunate men still deep
er in the ruins. Late in the evening
four dead and five injured men were
dug out. The dead are Samuel Cronin,
Charles Langreth, of Covington, George

DEATHS HARvEST.

The field stands white In theoreaper's sight,
The Sumu or blessings fall
On the ripened wheat and the blossoms sweet
And Heaven smiles over II all,
And the reaper sings while the hot air rings
With the rush Of his sickle keen
"Oh, l reap and bind whatever find,
And gather my sheaves at will.
"The grain grows high, but what care I?
walk with gian pace;
Men shiver and cry as hurry by,
And shrink from my teri BILE face;
And the maid grows white with dumb alright
At my kisses so damp and chill,
But my arms are bold, to have and to bold,
And gather my sheaves at will.
"The breeze that roves through the Grange
groves
Is thick with a coming doom;
And they drink In death from the perfumed
breath
OF the lair magnolia bloom;
Where once through food Of tears and
blood,
gathered my greedy FILL
come again, and through woe and pain,
garner fresh sheaves at will"
Wise Lord Of the harvest, stay his work
Bid the cruel lab0rer cease
Spare the little grain that shall yet remain,
To ripen and fa i In peace;
Let O,,r pray tIs and cries reach pitying skies,
Bid the ieverrl storm "be still !"
Touch the stricken land with Thy healing
hand,
For the reaper bides Thy will!

An Improved ssMaud Muller"

Doubtless, majority of the readers
of Whttier's "Maud Muller" have
wished that the poem had ended with
the marriage of the dignifed judge to
fair hay-raker. An incident in the life
of the eccentric Judge Breckenridge, Of
Pittsburg, would have justified such a
pleasing finale to the touching ballad.
The judge, who was an independent
sort of man, much given to having his
own way, rode up, one day, to tavern
in mountainous district in Pennsylva.
mia. A handsome girl appeared to offer
her services as hOstler. She mounted
the horse, rode him off to spring, and
in returning, jumped him over five
barred gate.
The judge looked on with admiration.
The girl pleased him, and he made in
quiries about her. She proved to be the
landlords daughter, and to be so worthy
that the Judge resolved that she should
be Mrs. Breckenridge.
He proposed and was accepted. But
there was an obstacle to immediate mar
riage. The girl was a diamond, but
rough one, and needed polish and setting
before she could appear in the society
in which her intended husband NOV
ed.
The judge took her to lady in Phil
delphia, the head of fashionable
school for girls. What, sir, will you
have her taught ~ asked the lady,
after the judge had explained who was
his charge and for what purpose he de-
sired her education.
Madam, dress and address,
"Sir, itshall be done.'
And it was; and that so etfectually
that Mrs. Breckenridge was noted as an
elegant and accomplished lady.

John.ie norg.n'. Dameuli,ie..

J John Morgan not he who plays the
organ, and whose father beats thedrum,
was arraigned before Acting Mayor
O'Neil, last evening, at the police sta
tion, for assaulting his wife. Tn.
charge was preferred by Johns wife's
father, who being sworn said that on
Wednesday evening, shortly after II
o'clock, he heard disturbance down
stairs heard the prisoner whipping
his daughter and that he had on various
times threatened to blow her brains
out. The witness claims his daughter
as his wife and that she was no more
his wife than he was.
The prisoner put the following ques-
ton to the witness: "Father you did
not see me hit your daughter did your"
The witness replied that he did not, but
he was fully satisfied that he did, as q
deep cut OF the face was proof sufficient
for him.
The next witness called was the pris-
oner's wife. There appeared to be
some difficulty as to what her name
was. The Chief first called Sarah Jane
Hauser, he received no answer. He
next called Sarah Jane Hawke, her
maiden name, again he received no
reply. He called Sarah Jane Morgan,
and asked the woman if that was her
name. She replied 81 suppose So"
The father, VIM. Hawke said that her
name was not Morgan and, "that the
rascal in the dock was not her husband
"She was however allowed to testify,
under that name. She said she did
not wish to testify against her husband
as she had no complaint to make
against him. She said he had hit her,
but she supposed he was mad when he
did so. She said her father had no bus
mess to have him arrested. (This
witness just before the trial commenced
had short conversation with the pris-
Oner when he was placed in the dock.
Mrs. Bannar another witness being
sworn did not wish to testify, but acting
Mayor O'Neil gave her to distinctly un-
derstand that she must "tell the truth,
the whole TRUTH" &c. She said that
she had told the prisoner not to hurt
Sarah. John had told her that he had
struck Sarah on the street. She saw
blood on Sarah's handkerchief. The
acting Mayor gave the prisoner to un-
lerstand that there was tso much of
this wife beating going on and required
the prisoner to pay S. and cost, and to
give 5000 bail keep the peace.

that the policeman whom the bull dog
Caesar had chased up the awning post,
