The Delaware House.

We stated some three weeks since
the important changes that the lessee,
w. Frank Jefferson, was going to make
in the entire outfit of the Delaware
House, and we can add but little sup
Elemental descriptive, except that the
finishing and furnishing has been and
is being done in detail as stated was
his purpose. He was, by the urgency
of boarders, compelled to open the
house sooner than he desired and for
this reason has been retarded some
what in getting every thing in order to
his liking
A hasty survey of the house this
morning showed, however, that every
thing for the comfort and convenience
of his guests was in place, fur
nished rooms with complete sets of
walnut furniture with spring Deds and
hair mattresses, a richly furnished par
lor, abundantly supplied and well
served tables, in fact, all the comforts
of city hotel. The best proof that a
imam knows how to keep a hotel" is
the patronage, and this was manifested
last night as well as the night before in
the fact that every room but one was
occupied. Such a public house is not
only a necessity, but a credit to the
town.

THE PEACH CRoP.-As is usual at
this season of the year much talk and
speculation is indulged in relative to
the peach crop. A Press reporter
tucked |. N. Mills, Superintendent of
the Delaware r. r., last week in Phila-
delphia, and reports him as saying
many curious things about the condi-
tiOn of the peach trees and buds, and
that he was there making arrange
ments for transporting the prospective
large crop. The New York Times of
March 26th says: 1.-THE indications
are favorable for one of the most
abundant crops of fruit this season that
has ever been gathered in the Atlantic
States" Our Peninsular exchanges
also occasionally, though not generally
indulge in a guess at the condition OF
the peach buds. 1t is always wise to
wait till the trees are in full bloom
before indulging in speculation as tc
the coming crop and much wiser to
wait till after the Goth of June when
the fruit is then done shedding. 1t is
the unexpected that is always sure tC
happen and this remark is never moro
applicable than to the peach crop.
