MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

IT would be d ficult to imagine up.
on what grounds the Mary land coal
companies demand an extra hours
labor for nothing from the mesgerly
paid miners. Aud yet these rich cor
pora,ions havs issued a. order which
wsnt into effect Thursday requiring
all employees in tLsir service to com.
nsncs work at 6 o'clock instead of at
7, thus frightening the hours to
eleven with an hours interval tor
dinner. If these companies can de-.
mand elsvsn hours Of service from
laborers they can xith with equal
equity insist upon servise Of fifteen
hours; and if the prsssht imposition
is permitted further grinding Of tie
poor may be expected. The longest
government service enacted is nine
hours, and The average prooab ly sev-
On, while in mercantile or professional
positions the hours of service are
probably not ss great. The exaction
Of an extra hour from Maryland min
srs is rendered more aggravating
from the fact that after the last
great strike in the Allsgany minss
wages we're reduced nearly ons-third,
and it is probable action ia in tho
nature Of "bluff." These corpora
tions have NO mere right to demand
an extra hours work for nothing than
the minsra would have to ask the com.
paniss to share their dividends with
them-sad probably not as much

THE whipping post has no tenor for

criminals of Delaware and other States
as have recently adopted this method
of furnishing crime, cry out against
the "ancient and barbarous" punish
ment There are also few persons
Of tender sympRthies who would, If
their ideas were carried out, make
sprison life more comfortable than the
.eulprits are acostomed to>enjOy when
at liberty. To those we would advise
4 close investigation of the characters
, of these who suffer the penalty of their
crimes, and if all sentimentality is
laid aside their verdict will be in favor
of the whipping post for nine cases
out of every ten. Virginia and Mary
land recently instituted tile whipping
post for the punishment of certain
crimes, and the latest State to show
symptoms of falling into line is llli-
nois. While she, like her sister States
afOrenamed does not propose to whip
for every misdemeanOr, yet it shows
that the Delaware whipping post is
not looked upon as "barbarOus" by all
of her neighbOrs.

Bro. S. H. Derby favored light loans with
plenty Of manure. He had planted an orchard
Of ten acres last spring and as far as manure wa
used, had perfect stand and excellent growth
but where there was no manure the trees made
but little growth.
Bro. A. c. Monsch said; good sandy loan
notsuhject to wet, was IN his experience the bes
kind Of soil on which to plant peach trees tc
have them make successful start
As It was growing late, further consideration
Of the report was deferred.
Bro. J. C. Brown asked permission, II tho late
ness Of the hour would permit TO make few
remarks upon the subject Of ''Winter Apples"
Permission being granted Bro. Brown. said
That he had with him a basket containing five
varieties. that were grown on Locust Grove
Farms last year, and as you frequently hear the
remark that, 'winter apples could not be grown
in Delaware" he thought It might be Of interest
to some persons to know that he thought differ
eatly. He had now growing over 5000 apple
trees, representing about fifty varieties. His OBJ
ject had been to procure the very earliest as wei
as the very latest varieties, aud he believed that
he had so far succeeded, that he had apples to
eat every day in the year that were grown on
his own farm, and whose quality is equal, i not
superior TO those from the noted apple sections
OF New York and Pennsylvania. He would rec
ommend to all lovers OF this dsliciOusfruit, TO
plant few trees Of each of the varieties so as to
have a supply for the family the whole year
around. Bro. Brown exhibited some very fine
specimens Of Stout Pippin, which he stated
would not be fit to eat before June. He said
they are of excellent favor and good keeper,
pale yellow color, good size and bear the disiin-
gushing mark of a pippln. He also exhibited

only man on the Peninsula that had any Of the

with red, will keep until July, superioFquality and
it to eat the whole winter. In connection with
these be considered the LangfOrd Seeding and
The Gibbs apple equal in every respect to the
above named if not superior. In concluding his
remarks he said, that, from his own experience
n growing apples in Delaware, he believed that
apples could be grown as we'll here as anywhere
n the United States, and that growing apples
here was profitable business.
