reveals the fact OF an absolute failure of
the peach crop throughout Delaware,
except possibly along water-courses in
the remote districts of Kent and Sussex
counties. Ex-Governor Coehran's opinion
is very explicit, and his impression of the
condition OF the peach crop throughout
the Peninsula is confirmed by our other
correspondents.
The letters of Mr.. Graham Of Sails
bury and Mr.. Spence OF Snow Hill indi-
cate that Wicomico and Worcester
counties will produce a few peaches, while
Somerset and Dorchester counties are not
without hope. OF course the few remain

The reports upon other fruits are

sITKA EXCITED.

Fro,r the sen Fraricisco Chroniclel


lFrosr the fan Francisco Chroniclel
The Steamer California, thirteen days
from Sitka, arrived in port yesterday,
with the sensational news that Alaska is
afflicted with virulent gold fever. Some
two months ago genuine quartz groupings
were discovered near the Tokow river,
about eighty miles north of Sitka. The
indications of rich lode were so strong
that the discovery created an excitement
which has increased with every breath Of
news from the new Ell Dorado. Owing
to the great depth of the snow which pre-
walls at this season of the year, it is i'm
possible to work the mines, so that the
imagnations of the gold. seekers have full
play, and the reputation Of the lode
grows apace. Nothing is so beneficial to
new mining district as the interposition
of natural obstacles to its rapid develop.
ment If one might judge of the quality
of the ore brought down by Captain Car.
roll of the California, the Tokow district
is bound to prosper on its merits. The
specimens of quartz brought from the
vein mines of the Captain have assayed
as high as So, 900 to the ton. The ore, to
speak in terms not technical, is of whitish-
yellow, profusely sprinkled with sulphur
cts. The rock is rich enough, if found in
large quantities, to make bonanza prince
of every man in Sitka. and every man in
Sitka, and every man in Sitka appears to
have become imbued with that idea. As
no means Of transportation can be furn-
ished until the California returns, the
excited merchants have to remain in Sitka
at present. According to the best au-
thenticated reports, however, they are
pulling down their stores and packing
their mining implements for a trip to the
Tokow district, and when the California
goes back she will transform the lonely
station into a busy mining camp. AT
present there are about fifty men on the
gold-felds, and it is probable that every
man has a claim staked off, though Capt
Carroll says that but eleven claims have
been located. The mines cannot be
worked before the end of March, but while
waiting for the snow to melt the adven
turers will lay out their town. The Cali
fornia will take all the lumber she car
carry, and the Captain will feel disap
pointed if every man in ,Sitka does no
insist on joining the expedition. Th'
people are libeled by the reports of tn
strike and its consequences, if they ar
not at their wits end. Alaska has al
ways been regarded as a promising regisl
for gold mining, but the discovery of
$4,000 ledge Of quartz within eighty mile
of Sitka has never been possibility tina
strongly recommended itself to prospec
tors. The first reports of such discoy
cries are always exceedingly roseate.

WHERE WILKES BOOTH IS
BURIED.

The Washington correspondent of the
Buffalo Commercial writes: 1t was only
after some patient inquiry that I could
ascertain the facts, which are interesting,
and so far as know, are yet unpub-
lished. Booth died, as will be remem-
bered, in barn in Maryland, from bull
let received from The musket Of Boston
Corbett. His body was brought to
Washington, and after having been iden-
titled by the court-martial before which
his fellow-conspirators were tried, was
dissected by the Surgeon General of the
army s'he brain and heart and some
other parts of the body were preserved
in alcohol, and are now on exhibition in
the medical museum of the Surgeon
Generals Office. The building in which
the assassination occurred was Fords
Theatre The Government confiscated
it, but afterwards Ford was paid its full
value, and it has since been used as the
Headquarters of the medical corps of the
army The brain and heart Of Booth are
in jars, standing in case that is situated
very near the actual scene of the assassi-
nation.
After the surgeon had done with
Booths body it was buried in grave in
the Arsenal grounds. Only half dozen
persons knew the exact spot, which was
unmarked. In 1867 Edwin Booth, the
actor, sent Mr.. Weaver, the Sexton of
Christ's Church, Baltimore, to Washing
ton, with the request that the remains of
his brother might be taken up and re-
moved to the family burial-place. After
some delay the request was granted by
President johnson, who was finally ap-
pealed to- and Mr.. Weaver took the body
to the cemetery in Baltimore, and buried
it beside the elder Booth and others oi
the family. The removal was conducted
with great secrecy, and was concealed
from Secretary Stanton, who had refused
to give his consent.

A force of experts from the redemp-
tion division of the United States Treas
urer's Office is at work picking out and
identifying the contents of the safes
which were in the express cars burned at
the recent accident at Tioga Centre, N.
Y. In the burnt mass were found lot
of jewelry, diamonds and watches, gold
and silver coin, legal-tender and national
bank-notes, Government coupons and
railroad bonds The coin has been melted
in all manner Of shapes. The burnt le-
gal-tenders are being separated by the
aid of sharp, thin knives. The notes
were black mass, with slight crevices
on the sides showing the separation Of
note from note. The scaly and brittle
remains were separated with great care.
The experts by examination were enabled
to identify the notes, together with theil
respective numbers. One young lady is
busy on the coupons and has identified 9
number OF four per cent. coupons repre-
senting $500 each, and four and a hall
per cent. coupons representing $ll.7s
each. Such is the expertness with which
apparently nothing but black, brittl,
masses are handled that it is very likel,
that every note, coupon and bond tha
was burned will be separated and identi
fed. The Treasury will replace tn
burned notes after they will have bee,
fully identified.
