ocean City Excursion.

The first Ocean City excursion on the
Delaware railroad was run yesterday.
There were but few persons on the train,
and not more than six joined the excur-
sion here. Two more of these trips are
announced, one on Thursday 21st and the
other on Thursday 2sth of July. The
rates are low (s1.75 from this point), but
the tickets are good only for one day, and
a ride to Ocean City and back all in one
day is a little too much for the money. If
the company will be a little more liberal
and make the tickets good from Thursday
till Monday, so that persons can go at ex-
cursion rates and spend a day or two at
the seaside, as they could during the sea
son of 1879, we have no doubt but these
weekly Ocean City excursions will be well
patronized. Ocean City is a very pleasant
place at which to spend a few days, and
get a sniff of salt air, and it lies with the
Delaware railroad to make it very popu-
lar with Peninsular people.

Selfbinding harvesting nla
not work in this neighborhoo sd
this season. The wheat being down so
badly is said to be the cause. AS the
farmers cannot make the wheat stand up,
the naehinists will have to improve the
selfbinder so as to work in down grain.
The oat crop looks very favorable, and IS
the best we have had for several years.
Corn is also looking well.--New wheat
is now being shipped from this point, but
farmers are inclined to hold awhile for
better prices, S1.17 being the figures Of

Levin James, who carried the mail rom
