there would be an abundant crop, and that if
 all should become peaches the trees could not support the burden with either sap to mature the fruit or mechanical strength to bear it up. But even at this early day nature is
 beginning to remedy that evil, and the small CT and feebler buds are losing vitality, and many of them will drop of on being gently pulled, while the others firmly adhere to the stems. As the growth progresses many more will drop of, and thus will nature relieve herself of her unproftable end oppressive burden. The result of the examination in all these orchards was about the same.
 That it might be as thorough and reliable as possible my friend pursued this course = He drove down the middle of his orchards, first east and west, then north and south, and examined every tenth tree. taking, at ram dom, three buds from each side of every tree-three from the north, three from the south, three from the east and three from the west. This, he explained, was in order to be sure of the true state of the crop, ss it often happens that trees on the east side suffer when those on the west escape. and at other times that the reverse is true An easterly storm may injure the east side of an orchard, while the west side, being somewhat screened by the trees on the east, suffers much less. And again, northwesterly cold wind may iniure the west side and not the east for the same reason In the examina- tion, however. to-day, no s1ch difference was found, for all were equally good-not only all sections of the orchards, but all va rieties-showing that no material injury has yet been done to the crop in any respect and that the promise of an abundant, if not a superabundant, one may be reasonably expected So, if no adverse fortune bEghts present hopes and prospects, the good deni- zens of the metropolis may comfort them selves with the assurance of plenty of Dela- ware peaches from the 1st of July till the 1st of October

The Republican nomination for Governor in Maine it is thought lies between Frederick Robie, of Gorham, and w. W. Thomas, jr., of Portland. Either would make strong candidate. MT. Robie has been elected seven times to the State House of Representatives, served twice as its Speaker, and has been a member of three Executive Councils. Mir. Thomas has been elected member of the State House of Representatives three times, and of the State Senate once As Portland has never been honored with the Governor ship since the Republican party was formed, that city will doubtless give Mir. Thomas a strong support.

The Delaware Peach Crop.

Prospects for an Abundant Supply of the
 FruIt-GrowersA Apprehensfve of Gut
 ted Market.
 Dover DeIaware) Correspondence New York Herald
 The interest in the Delaware peach crop is now at its height, and well 1t may be- for nearly all the peaches that reach New York are grown within very narrow limits in this State and the two Eastern Shore counties or Kent and Queen Anne, Md. So eircumscribed is the peach belt that a man with a good team can drive from one end 10 the other, north and south, in day; and from east to west in little more than half so long and yet within this small compass enough peaches have been raised to supply the mar kets in all directions for five hundred miles. In 1875, when the crop was immense, they were shipped as far north as Canada and as far west as Chicago and St. Louis, and if nothing befalls them this year they will have to be sent as far, if growers are to get re- muneratIve prices. In that exceptionally prolific and abundant year this Peninsula shipped between 4 .000. 900 and 5000, ,0O0 baskets, and suffered nearly as many to per ish under the trees or on them, because the prices would not pay for marketing And several times, in the Delaware peach trade, 300 cars, containing ,000 baskets. have gone over the Delaware railroad in a single day. Such an immense crop is a calamity rather than blessing, and is almost as much dreaded as a total failure, for with the for mer there is much work and but very little pay, while with the latter, if there is no pay there is no work. What is most desired by the Delaware peach growers is half crop, say about two million five hundred thousand baskets. With such crop, fairly distribut- ed over the peach growing area, there will always be fair prices, only moderate labor | and no great worry and anxiety. Nobody | will be hurried or overworked, and returns l will be satisfactory.

THE PRESENT PROSPECT.

From present appearances the crop this year will be very large; larger than ever be- fore, with the single exception of that of 1875, and the decrease now Is not to be as cribed to want of blossoms on the trees, for they are abundant, but to the fact that there are not nearly so many trees. After that disastrous crop very few trees were planted, while many old ones were pulled up. This has greatly diminished the peach area and insured the growers against the supera- bundant calamity of 1ST5. The whole crop that year, including what was marketed, canned, dried, and left to rot, was fully s. 900, 900 baskets. This year, even if the trees should be as full as then, it cannot exceed 5000, ,0O0. The growers hope it will not be more than half so many, but all appearances now indicate a very large crop.
 The news from all quarters Is that notwith standing all the recent frost the peaches are still safe. This is the word from Sussex be- low and New Castle above; while in Kent, the very centre of the peach interest as well as territory, there is but one voice, and that is that there is a great abundance-many more than are desirable, and fears are freely expressed that if they are not partially. killed hereafter there will be more than can be easi- ly or profitably handled, But, of course, there are many risks to run between this and the middle of June, before which the crop can hardly be regarded as out of danger. Still the growers are sanguine of large crop, and are beginning to prepare for 1t. The basket factories are turning out baskets by the thousands daily, and new dryeries are being also provided, all looking to the dis. posal of a very large crop. And all this prep aration is fully justified by present appear !

To day visited three orchards belonging to Dover gentleman who takes great inter est in peach culture and is we'll informed in regard to 1t, and from whom. I gleaned most
 of the facts above stated. He said that here tofore he had not examined his orchards, and
 hardly every did so until very late in the sea- son as the crop has so many risks to run that
 he did not care to encourage his hopes before there were some substantial grounds for be- lieYing they would be realized; but to-day.
 at my request, he made a very careful and
 systematic examination of three orchards, ln- cluding most of the leading varieties and both the white and yellow fruit. The result fully
 confirmed all the previous accounts that the peaches were not injured. Our inspection began in an orchard of late white peaches. We found the fruit well set. The blossoms were still closely enclosing, and thus pro- l tecting, the germ, which in almost every in- stance was fresh, green and vigorous. In
 size it was from one-twelfth to one eighth of
 an inch in diameter. The twigs seemed to be covered with buds, and the gentleman | told me that if one-tenth of them matured
