ING SOCIETY CLOSED, &c.
Our late miller, Mr.. y. II. Scarborough
has moved into the Valley proper, and Mr..
p. Matthews has taken his place at the mill.
Mr.. NJ has an established reputation as a
first class miller. Already some of his old
patrons are seen vending their way TO the
Valley with we'll loaded wagons.
The contractors on the new railroad have
opened a stone quarry in the Valley. This
alarmed the ladies in n measure, but Il few
blasts served to quiet their nerves

Mr.. \. V. Rose is rebuilding the house
that was burned some time ago, occupied
by George Ray, colored.
The high price of poultry the past season
encourages those in that business TO re-
newed efforts this spring. This reminds us
of the i'll fortune Of one OF our country

His turkey hen hied away to the woods to
search out a suitable site to make her nest
her owner found her out, however, but he
could never find any eggs, and jumped at
the conclusion thatth willy raven came and
stole the eggs away. And he reasoned with
himself and said: The days of that thief
are numbered. So he went and got pull
let egg and picked hole in the shell there
of and inserted the deadly drug therein and
went his way to the turkeys nest and lay
the egg therein, and it came TO pass the next
day the turkey hen went 20 her nest as
usual and came home again but still no
eggs could he found, not even the pullet
egg. But 10 and behold the next morning
the turkey hen was cold in death. She had

The Peaches.

Reports that the peach crop is injured
have been circulated freely during the
past few weeks, but from letters from
the fruit districts it appears that this is
not fact. The following extracts from
letters to Wilmington paper from three
points on the Peninsular give fair
statement of the condition of affairs:
OSANCoCK, Accomac County, Va, April
14.-Inquiry among a humber of fruit
growers of the Eastern Shore Of Virginia
dlscloses the fact that the peach crop has
not been hurt at all by the recent cold
weather and that this years crop promises
to be large-much larger than that of last
year, on the Virginia peninsula.
ADAMsv1LLE, DEL, April 15.-In reply
TO your inquiry as to what the prospect is
for crop of peaches, l will say at present
it is good; not an over.abundant quantity
of buds, but enough.
MILTON, April 15.-The peach buds are
all right in this vicinity up to this writing,
after examination by some of our most
skillful growers.

The idea that any thing is good enough
for the house of God is fast becoming
absolute. Something more than rough
walls and pine benches is now called into
requisition, and what more appropriate

The Presbytery of New Castle met on
Tuesday evening in Chesapeake City.
Rev. James Conway, the retiring moder-
ator, made an address, and Rev. DR.. a.
c. Heaton, of Lewis, Del, was elected
his successor by reclamation. Rev. w.
II. Noolverton and VIM. r. Dickinson,
of Pocomoke City, were made temporary
clerks. Rev. Mr.. Heberton, who for a
number of years has been the secretary
of the Presbytery, Gu account Of i'll health
rendered his resignation. There were
more visitors in Chesapeake City than
has been known for many day, and as
hotel accommodations are very meagre,
the citizens threw open their houses,
without regard to religious denomina-
tions, and Hospitality entertained all of
the visitors. Indeed it would be hard to
imagine more generous display of hos.
pitality than was shown there. Every
visitor WAS we'll taken care of and pro-
vided for, and still there were plenty of
offers of entertainment. The visiting
ministers will long remember the hospit-
able citizens of Chesapeake City.
