somewhat notorious fortnight since by
the arrest of one of its attaches, Edward

tuition. For years Miss Grant had been
a victim to melanchOlia and on the

her at DR.. Livingstone's, who received
$50 a week for cure and treatment
of he-. She is said to have received very
rough treatment from Clifford and other
attendants at Livingstone's, and suffered
from various barbarities that are likely to
be made the subject of legal investigation.

father, but in spite Of this fact it is said
that she was poorly provided for at DR..
LivingstOne's. The room she occupied

The Prospects of the Peach Crop.
Reports from prominent peach-growers
of the Peninsula in relation to this years
prospects cover the state of Delaware and
Kent, Queen Annie's. Dorchester, Talbot,
Carolina and WicomicO counties in Mary
land. Although the drought of last sum-
mer impaired most trees of more than
eight years growth, the report concludes
that, unless disaster occurs before maturi-
ty, this years yield will be as abundant, in
proportion to the number of bearing trees,
as was that of 1875. That years crop, in
round numbers, was about 1000, 900 bask-
cts. Assuming that the number Of bear
ing trees has been reduced from twenty
five to thirty-three and one-third per cent,
the present outlook is for harvest of
from 4,G6G, 600 to 5,250, 900 baskets of
peaches, subject to the lien which the frost
has upon every peach crop until after May
