George A. Cechrane who tried the ex
pertinent of shipping to Europe peaches
grown near Symrna, Del, writes from
Montreal, that the peaches, though ex-
posed to the ordinary temperature of the
trip, sold in Liverpool at SO for "a dozen.
Mr.. Cochrane's plan of shipping was
simply to pack each individual peach in
cell to itself as eggs are packed. He
thinks the peaches he sent, Moors's Fav-
orite of medium size, arrived at Liver
pool little shriveled and dry as the day
they were packed was an exceedingly
hot one.
The attendance at the Baltimore
county fair which took place this week
was large. The crowd was estimated at
fully ten thousand people on the after

hourly. The number of carriages and
other vehicles was also much larger than
ever before. The fair this year, in point
of attendance as we'll as general attrac-
tions, has exceeded any held at Timo-

to no longer be able to provide for himself
