PEACHES FROM NEW JERsEY.-The peach
trace from central and northern New Jersey
may be said to fairly begin this week. The
earlier varieties are now ripe and ready for
handling. Taking all the peach-groWing re-
glOns into consideration, there Will not be much
over half crop this season. There are Two
reasons given by the farmers for this reduction.
The long-continued drought early IN the sum
mer retarded development. Then 1t is what Is
termed an on year with the yield The large
dealers always endeavor 20 arrange their Or
chards SO that they Will have one Or more yield
ing thelr luileSt every year. IL Is very difficult
to accomplish this, and almost impossible where
the orchards are small and only a few varieties
are set out. The majority OF the farmers have
only moderate number OF trees anu the most
OF these trees do not yield this year. The crops
VIII come principally from the extensive raiSeTa,
who have large and. well-ragulated orchards.
Hunterdon county sends the largest number OF
baskets, with Warren and Morris next. There
is such q difference Ia The temperature botwee2

the latter Is nearly two weeks later in ripeniDg.
The Consequence Is that there VIII be cOntinu-

OF the more progressive people. SO they pulled
the old building down and erected an elegant
br0wnstone one in its place. The movement
net with some opposition from few elderly
members, who thought the old church good
enough to last for another generation. Their
opposition was overruled, aud the new church
was in due time dedicated. The material chosen
for IL was brownstOne from newly opened
quarry In a mountain near Bellefonte. This
stone was thought TO be good, but had not been
tested After while evidences Of disintegra-
ton were observed. The stone was found to be
Slowly crumbling TO pieces. This has now gone
On to such an extent that the building is pro-
nouneed unsafe, and win have to be taken
down. IL is now closed, and nobody dares
venture into it. To take it down and rebuild
with other materials will be both difficult and
dangerous work, and Will cost from twenty to
thirty thousand dollars, which will be a clear
loss to the congregation. They now wish that
they had listened to the elders and kept their
