PENINSULA PEACH CROP.
What the Present Peach Pros.
peets are Between the BAYS,
The NeW York Times says.A.

| Ihe New York Times Sdys:A
"The cold and wet weather Of last
week retarded the ripening of the
strawberries, and consequently there
was no yer" great quantity of them ripe
for market in Delaware and Maryland,
although II small quantity Of them
were received from there on each day
last week after Tuesday. Not only did
the weather affect the Delaware and
Maryland berries, but also the Virginia
and North Carolina crop. But while
the rains retarded the ripening Of the
strawb berries, they insure the largest
crop ever gathered south OF the Della
ware, and while the berries which come
here this week from Norfolk may he in
bad condition because Of the abundance
of wd kr in them, they will he large aud
misunderstanding when shipped, and
probably they will be in good condition
and certainly will beduring the follow
ing week. Bat those which will come
from Maryland and Delaware next
week must be very fine. This will be
the great week for Norfolk strawberriS.
and, doubtless, the steamer which
brings the first picking uf this week
L
ward of 1000 crates of this fruit, and
they will be sold tUg about ~ cents Il
quart.
1t is now generally thought py fruit
receivers that the peach crop of the
Peninsula this season will be al abso-
lutte failure and even those bay shore
orchards where crops were looked or
hoped for, will produce little OF nothing.
One gentleman, who for H." past III
years has given much attention TO the
cultivation Of peaches, both as a grower
and "A receiver III this market, and who
uSually spends the months Of March and
April in Maryland and Delaware, and
who this season has visited every peach
centre on the Peninsula, and has gone
wherever he could hear OF there being
IA prospect Tor any peaches, gives II as
the result of his observations that one
car day during the season would carry
to market all the hudding peaches that
would he grown there this season. He
asserts his full baliet in the accuracy of
the theory advanced by The Times last
February, that intensely cold Winters
such as we then had would nor only de-
stroy the young peach germ, blt would
kill the trees II" found amos: all
orchards over seven years Old utterly
destroyed, and it was melancholy
sight 10 ride over the stat" Of Delaware
and see the slaughter OF thn orchards
by growers who, thoroughly convinced
Of the III sca>"d stare Of their orchards,
are cutting them Oft to use the land for
other purposes.
But while the Peninsula makes such
an unsatisfactory promise OF IL peach
crop, gratifying accounts com" from the

COURT NEAR ITS CLOSE.
PrOceedingsY Y ester day A afternoon
The Case of Rev. DIR. Frost.

The May term of Court is expected t,
close to-day there being. but little bust
ness to be transacted.
AT the session yesterday afternoon {
verdict of $3.50 in favor of the plaintiff
in the case of Sarah Dempsey VS.. thu
estate OF Bridget Maloney was given.
All jurymen except those out in the
| case Of Berman VS.. johnson were dis.
charged until the third Monday in Sep
tember.
Mr.. Lore, plaintiffs counsel in the
case of Enoch Moore, Jr., VS.. Mary Quin-
by argued the motion for a new trial.
The application was refused.
Mr.. Rodney as counsel for defendant,
in case of Levin Cats vs. S. w. Gle
ments, applied to the court for a iudg-
ment for costs, the case not having
been brought into court on account OF a
Sett 3nent between the parties to the
Trial. Judgment was given.
Argument was made by the opposing
counsel in the case Of Trinity church
against the rector, Rev. DR.. Frost, relat-
ing to the question as to whether the
case was one really within the jurisdic.
ton ofa court of common law, and as to
the right of said court to issue the writ
OF quo warranto referred to- This, de-
pending upon the disputed point AS to
whether or not the rector was the preSi.
dent Of the church corporation, or mere
Iy a person holding the rectorship, the
court reserved its decision until this
morning, when argument will be con-
tinuel.
The jury in the case of Brennan VS..
johnson came in at 6 O'Clock, and re-
ported as unable to agree. They were
thereupon discharged from further AZ
tendance upon the court, and the case
was continued until September In
this case the jury stood eleven for plain
tiff and one for defendant all afternoon
Court adjourned until to-day.

Etw. j. Seymour was arrested at the

last for the theft of Il horse and wagon.
1t appears that the? prisoner hired a
horse and carriage at livery stable in

sold the turnout to a Coatesville gentle

him the cash pro missed to send him "A

g'HShould be made, therefore, it is said
Sfhat. unless compelled by public de-
Ahand, he will make no speech.
I'D The situation on the Senatorial qucs-
Mon remains unchanged. The Garfield

refusing to enter Caucus and be bound
