We have a canine on Commerce st. that
has cal ned the sobriquet of "Dr Tanner" {
He has been here about thirty days, has ]
no home and we believe has not been seen
to eat anything. One OF our young men (
became 70 interested in his presumed forty I
days fast that he bought a brass collar for
him and paid dolle' to have him regis
tered. He was entered on the Registers
book as :" DR.. Tanner" by which name he
is known. Yesterday young man handed
a butcher cts. for piece of meat for him,
but apparently as if > avoid the tempta-
ton, he jumped up and ran away"
PEcsoNAL.-Mrs. Martha A. Cummns and
Miss Sallie Hill have been enjoying the
pleasures Of Ocean City the past two weeks,
John c. Stoclly and family are sojourn-
| ing for a season at Collins Beach.
Misses. Anna and Emma Hough are visi-
| ting Wilmington and Trenton.
| VIM. II. Crocker, who has been spending |
some weeks in our town, wrote an interest |
ing letter descriptive of our industries |
which was publishhd in the Philadelphia
! Ledger last week.
Miss Sallie huntington is visiting Wet
chester, Pa, and Mrs. 4. L. Mart'1dale
and family Seaiord, Del.
IT is authoritvely announced that the
trotting will be more exciting this year at
the State Fair than heretofore. The oit
repeated complaint that the Fair WIS as
suming more the aspect of horse ra
} than an agricultural exhibition seems T. be
justified by the facts. The premiums for
class 2:lS is purse for 81 900. The lnten.
ton of giving a working mans day"
upon which 25 cents admission would be
Oh
the number of races, heretofore three day,
has been incrc ed to four. Instead OF
giving a tournament the management in
tend giving byciclerace.
/ PEACH PICKING, which was done last week
. in a somewhat desultory way, is on this
week in earnest. The IIales. Troths ani
Mountain Rose are mostly out of the way
; and the larger and better varieties, Yorks.
r Crawford's Early, Reeves &c, are cominglnto
5. Market. Nine car loads were loaded at
our shipping station, Clayton, on Monday
and ten yesterday. In consequence OF
s. the prevailing dry weather the fruit is not
y so large and fine this year as usual. Be
l. sides, the peaches are ripenlng from one TO
e two weeks earlier than usual, and the
70 prospect now is that there will be little
;c fruit in the orchards after the first OF Sep
. tember.
EvAnOrAT xG.-The peach evaporators arc
now all under sail, and if the season hold.
-, out long enough, the prospect is that they
T., will bring up at the end with good ant
y profitable cargo. Messrs Voshsll & JermaI

Lty fruit commenced on was the Troth smalle
la and more inferior this year than usua
ay The price paid by the fruit ing factOri,
ew is from 20 to 25 cts. per basket. These r
