The Town Council met in. called
session Monday night, and had under
consideration the wharf. They re-
sclyedto build at once on the old
site, and also fixed the levy at Is
cents on the 500 Of the real and
personal property of this town
This seems to us to be bnrdensome
tax, and the more SO, when by a re-
cent action.of the Council some $500
or $500 of the revenues of the town
were cut off by their refusal to grant
license.
An exchange remarks: "Don't idle
your time away standing ON street
corners, even if you have nothing to
do. It's a bad idea and sets a bad
example. No good can come from
associating with loafers, and upon
the whole, it's much better not to be
found lounging about a town and
talking to idlers.p

While Mr.. Berry was giving in his
testimony Mr.. Bancroft, his employer
who had entered the room with him,
made q suggestion, which provoked the
following
DR.. Goslin, a juryman-My. Coroner
Isn't this irregular; l thought the ex.
animation was to be private.
Coroner hesitating-Yes.
Mr.. Bancroft-Ithought would come
in with Mr.. Berry.
DR.. Goslin-Well, Mr. Bancroft it
appears to me that you have no right in
here.
Another Jurymen-That's 50 and it
is the COroner's business to see that the
room is kept clear.
Mr.. Bancroft-I wanted to assist Mr.,
Berry in his statement.
DR.. Goslin-Were you present when
the wounds were made
Mr.. Bancroft-No.
DR.. Goslin-Well then you didn't
know any more about it than VIC do.
Mr.. Berry aud Mr.. Bancroft then re.
tired and Mr.. William Stsrritt was re-
called who reiterated his testimony
given above.
THE VERDICT.
The jury then considered the evi-
dence. Much discussion took place.
DR.. Goslin moved that verdict be rem
dered in accordance with DR.. Wales
testimony which not being recorded
was substituted by a resolution that
"the deceased came to his death from
wounds inflicted at the hands Of a par
ty or parties unknown to the jury" A
vote was taken on this, but the resolu.
tion was lost. DR.. Goslin's motion was
put and carried when it was found that
that wouldn't do as the Doctor gave no
direct opinion as to the causes which
produced his death. The evidence OF
Drs. Maxwell and Ogle, who made the
post mortem examination, was then
discussed and the molten previously
voted down was adopted.

SECOND EDITION.
THE PEACH CROP,
Whss the Philadelphia Ledger
says About IL.


says About IL.
The Philadelphia Ledger" of this
morning says:
The supply of this luscious fruit,
which will reach this city from Della
ware and Maryland the latter part Of
the present week, promises to be much
better and larger than that which ap-
peared in market last week. So far
nothing has come but a limited quanti-
ty Of the Hale's early variety, which
IS usual, arrived green, but suffered
from the -c::ay weather.
What is coming now is in rather bot
ter condition, but will soon be superce-
ded by the fully ripe good-eating fruit.
On Saturday Hale's Early peaches
brought from 81 Is to 81 so per crate.
but Yesterday they were offered freely
at bO cents. The peach crop in New
Castle county, Del, is reported an en-
tire failure, owing to variety of causes
prom 'nent among which are stated TO-
be l g-"ontinued droughts, followed
by cold rains.
An instance is given of one grower
there who has an orchard of fifteen
hundred acres, which will not produce
a peach. II the trees thereon yielded
their usual full crop, it is said that he
could probably send to market as many
peaches as either the whole of Kent or
Sussex counties, Delaware. The crop
in Kent county, Maryland, is reported
fair, aud in the lower counties of the
Peninsula very good. While there are
perhaps. an equal number OF trees in
this region, they are not so productive
as in the upper counties-New Castle
county, Delaware, and Kent and Cecil
counties, Maryland.
Tho greater part OF the crop, which
is estimated by the officials of the Phil
adelphia' Wilmington and Baltimore
Roilroad Company to be about two and
a half millions of baskets, will come
from the lateral roads South Of Dover.
Ample arrangements have been made
for the shipment of the product, the
company having three hundred venti-
lating cars in readiness for use.
This quantity may be overrun or fall
short, according to the sharpness of de-
mand aud the prices realized, which
are expected to be moderate and not
regulated by "fancy" ideas. Two and
q half million baskets, which was the
product last year, is considered good
crop, though there have been occasions
when as many as four million baskets
were brought TO market, the larg, sup
ply bringing down prices to almost
figures.
