THos. E. BAILEY has on his farm a
variety of peaches later than the Sal

that he has sold to ]. NJ. Arthur's can
merry, at Kenton. He delivered 100
baskets ON Saturday, finishing the re-
mainder of the crop this week. Those
he has were budded from tree found ,
in the neighborhOod.

lows next week:

SOME of our farmers over in Black
bird Hundred attend the Philadelphia
retail market once week. They haul
their produce to the steamer Iygert
90 up with it, and stand in the market,
just as we'll as though they only lived
a few miles out of the city. If more of
our farmes were to try attending Phila-
delphia market they would, no doubt,
find it profitable.
