HhOrt M easures.

There are some hucksters in the K ing
street market that need looking after
by the clerk of the market, as they
have again fallen into their old prac-
tice of using short measures. This was
pretty generally broken up by the very
efficient manner in which Mr.. Hickey
performed his duties while clerk Of the
market, and several OF these parties
found TO their sorrow that they could
not violate the law with impunity,
while its administration was intrusted
to him. One man in particular, who
was before the Municipal Court on COM
plant of Mr.. Hickey, and plead guilty
to using short measures, IL now, or at
least was few days since, using half
peck measure that has been sawed off.
The clerk of the market should attend
to this matter at once, and buyers should
refuse to purchase anythin from these
dishonest vendors, no matter how cheap
they may offer to sell.

We were presented on Friday last
with two peaches taken from the orchard
of Alfred L. Hudson, on the Horace
Spruance farm, between Smyrna and
Clayton. They were of the variety
known as Callen's Seeding, and each
measured over eleven inches in circum
ference, and the two weighed one pound
and eight and half ounces. Mr.. Hud-
son is one of the most successful peach
growers in our State, and his gains this
season will net quite a handsome sum.
In one day he picked and shipped l 400
baskets from the Spruance farm, beside
a large quantity from his other farms.
He has also put up driers and is pre-
pared TO turn the greater portion of his
crop to good account, when the eastern
or northern markets cease to be- re-
munerative. We congratulate him upon
his success not only In growing monster
peaches, but on his tact and MANAGE
ment in striking the tide which is said
to occur In the affairs of all men, which,
when taken at the food, leads to for
tune.

A Patent Envelope,

A device for facilitating the opening
OF letters has been invented by George

OF the jackson & Sharp Company. Mr.,
Marsden's plan is to perforate the enyel.
ope in two PARALLEL lines, at an angle
of about 45o, with small cuts at the end
of each line. When the letter is held
with the address turned upwards, the
perforated end can be torn off with tbe
greatest ease. A patent has been an
piled for, and there is no doubt but this
little device will bring the inventor
good returns.

Ella Miles, the little colored girl who
WAS so badly burned at her home at
Fifth and Walnut streets on Thursday
afternoon, as reported in the REPUBLI-

suffering the most horrible agony from

having met their death in this city
within week, yet there are hundreds
and perhaps thousands of others who
are daily inviting the self same destruc.
tion, by the free use of this deadly oil
in the lighting of fires. With a few
shavings, which can he procured at
almost any carpenter or carriage shop,
a lire could be as easily started and
there would De no danger of an explo-

recent deaths will be a warning to the
