A FRUITFUL LITTLE STATE.

a former citizen Of Union county, in
this State, but now a resident OF Della
ware, IN letter 10 the editor Of the
Lewisburg journal, among other things
remarks
The season just closed has been a
busy one for our community, this be.
ing section OF country largely inter.
ested in fruit growing. Hence the in.
dustry Of the country is affected by the
crop of each season, bc il abundant,
medium, light or total failure, The
latter, however, we have not had for
twelve years. The season just past
has been light one in fruit. Except
tomatoes, IL was medium ; 80 also was
wheat and corn, Onr peach centre
was this season at Middletown, 25 miles
above US. The shipments OF peaches
over the Della ware railroad was about
three thousand car loads, against five
thousand last year. But the factories
have done more than last year We
have ten factories in o radius Of rs
many miles With but few exceptions
they have run their full capacity. No
doubt many of your readers may have
limited idea OF what factory VIII
do at any kind Of running. there.
fore propose in the letter TO give an
insi ght Of one of our factories, and will
take the one with which was in u
measure engaged during the season,
namely, the Farmers Fruit Preserving
Co. at Five Points, near Lebanon
This Company conaists Of eight mem.
bers, all OF them farmers, one Of which
is Jacob g. Brown, Esq formerly OF
your county. This house has been run
by the same company some nine years.
Their business the present year
amounts TO perhaps from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred thousand dol
lars, and consists in drying by the Al.
den process OF evaporation OF berries
of all kinds, as well as peaches, apples,
pears, &c, and canning peaches, ber-
ries, corn, &c, and last, but not least,
tomatoes, OF which they have this
season put up 6oo,OOO cans, using some
$4,000 baskets OF tomatoes. These
were raised on about 300 acres OF land,
and delivered at the factory at IRON
50 to $40 per ton. They handled about
10000 b. tets Of peaches, costing from
80 10 90 cents per basket, putting up
10000 cans, and drying or evaporat'

THOSE nc voRDS.


Two Congressional Committees In
1873 declared that ono James A. Gar.
field had committed perjury and bad
taken bribe. The Congressional
Record still remains, put down in black
and white by his party friends, More
"All the world and the rest of man
kind" have been given TO understand
by the editor OF the Cincinnati Con-.
merciai that there are three persons
who should be treated very coolly by
Garfield, viz: Abram S. Hewitt, who
expressed the opinion that Garfield
wrote tho Chinese letter; jeremiah S
Black, who pretended TO be his friend
and finally struck him shameful
blow aud General Rosecrans, whose
language was unbecoming an officer
and gentleman" The man who
speaks thus for Garfield said in his
paper the day before he was nominated
at Chicago; "The chatter about Gar
field is absurd and ridiculous, lie has
no record TO run on" In connection
with this threatened social ostracism
by Garfield OF Hewitt Black and Rose
craus--a calamity we hope they will
be able to surviye--nothing is said q:
to the manner in which Garfield when
he becomes President, proposes to treat
Luke p. Poland, n. r. Banks and
George W, McCrary, the three loya
Republican members of the POLAND
9 Committee who said in their report Il
Congress that Garfield had been guilty
. of bribe and perjury nor is anything
said Of what is in reserve for the edi
tors OF all the leading Republican
papers in the country, the New YorE
, tribune and the New York Tines be
ing conspicuous among them, whit
endorsed the truth of the Committed
report. Judge Black didn't say any
thing about Garfield that had not beei
previously said by his own Republican
friends on tho Committee acting OIL
their solemn oaths, all of which wa
concurred in and enforced by the Re
, publican press of the country. If Gar
field intends to recognize only thos
who did not subscribe to the truth Q
the Poland and Glover reports, hi
y receptions at the White House will b
Il very sparsely attended.

No TINE FOR DEsPoNDENoY Now
From the tone Of many of our cuntem
poraries we are impressed with the
gloomy viow OF the future that is taken
by some of our Democratic friends.
This arises from an incomplete view OF
the general situation, and altogether u
mistake, The present is not Il time for
Democratic dependency, but rather
for encouragement to renewed oSer.
tiun. At the worst, the Democracy
has carried one halt the States in the
Union, and the slightest chance, the
turning of ten thousand votes out Of u
grand total Of ten millions cast in the
tate election, would have given il he
Presidency. When we look at the
enormously powerful agencies that
were opposed to us, it is but little
marvel that victory did not perch upon
our banners IN the great struggle Just
closed. The marval rather is that tho
Democratic party succeeded so well,
Sixteen years ago that party carrie d
but three States in the Presidential
election; twelve years ago il carried
seveni eight years ago II carried only
six. And now against the combined
patronage and wealth Of a party en-
trencbed in power for twenty years
and against the most shameful iraudc
that ever disgraced Presidential con
test, it has swept one half the Union
Surely there is suflicien. reason in thiI
for the Democrats to take courage -

PAPERS UNNAsKIN0.--llardly had
it been announced that Garfield was
elected President until tho New York
Evening Post, Herald, Times and
Graphic, and such western journals as
the chicago Times, all Republican in
politics, called upon Garfield to stand
by the Democratic platform on the
tariff question. While IL was necessa.
ry to carry the Middle and New Eng.
land States, these journals argued in
favor Of a high protective tariff, but
now that their candidates are elected,
they hasten 10 qnmask, and are adyo.
eating the principles which they were
too cowardly TO support during the
campaign. Ii there Is any consistency
in Garfield he would 20 beyond the

The CoLoRED CADET.-This creature
has become character in our political
improvements, and has produced q
number Of sensations at the Military
Academy at West Point, where they
have been trying to turn Yankee nc.
groes into soldiers. But the last Of
his race has been discarded. The
Philadelphia Times, in abiding to this
matter, remarks: at is not alarm
ingly probable that Cadet Whitaker
will be given permission 10 take his
ears back TO West Point-as the Rev.
Congressman Smith and other worthless
with more zeal than discretion want
him to do. And even il bis ears do
once more find shelter within the
Academic shades, they are not likely
to stay there long. Cadet Whitaker
may be as sinless colored boy as the
world ever saw; or he may be a thor,
ough.going Hamish lump OF sin. But
these matters Of morals are side issues
The hitch in bis case is that he has moi
passed his examinations. Unless &
mixed board can be appointed, com
posed of colored people and parsons
turned Congressman, he never, novel
can be anything but ploughed. ;"
