EvAPORATED FRUIT.-The evapOr-

amounts have gone tomarket and sales
have been made at 10 cents for unpeeled
and p cents for prime red centre,
while fancy has been sold at % and %
cents. No extra yellow on the mar
ket, and it ought to bring 25 cents. 1t
is expected that when buyers are sat
isfied in regard to the reduced con-
sumption prices will advance, as the
market is almost bare Of all kinds of
dried fruit. Those having fruit to sell
would do well to remember that for
several years the early market has
been the best. EvapOrated apples are
quoted at cents, this will not tempt
Delaware evapOratOrs to go into them,
especially as the market for jelly stock

and got off at Clayton to take the first
train on the Delaware and Chesapeake
Friday morning for Easton. They
walked into Smyrna to get hotel ace
DOmmodatiOns. reaching there about
halfpast two in the morning. They
went to the Delaware House which
was closed and asleep. They succeeded
after awhile in waking a man. who
pOked his head from a window, and
having learned who they were and
what they wanted, refused to admit
them on the ground that the hotel was
full. Messrs, Batenan and Roe ex.
planned that they would be satisfied
with simply shelter and chair in the
Office, but he positively refused to let
them in, and they were compelled to
remain in the streets until five O'Clock,
when they found the Smyrna House
where they got bed and break fast and
a cordial reception. Being compelled
to stay In the street, without even an
OvercOat on such a chilly night as last
Thursday night, was very hard on Col.
Bateman, who is quite an old gentle

cause is impure well water. Every

driven TO the depth Of thirty feet or

1876, he was with General Taylor in the ad-
vance on Palo Alto; in April ls47, he was
appointed quartermaster of his regiment. He
offered his services, at the beginning of the
late war, to Governor Yates on April %, 1861;
he fought the battle of Pittsburg Landing on
April 6 and Z, 1862; on April 30 1863 he
crossed the Mississippi river at Vicksburg and
took Port Gibson and Grand Gulf; in April,
1854, the National Guard was called into serv-

to the well-wishers of the young gentlemen
themselves The condition of affairs that
now obtains is to be regretted; but it is
worse than useless, and it would be
unfriendly, to ignore it or to sup
press it. The contest" tonight
will not be fair, manly, generous emula-
ton, but it will be attended with passion,
with envy, with mean-spirited jealousy, and
with methods that are simply disgraceful to
those engaged in them. The Journal speaks
friendly word, earnest, plain, and, possibly,
ungracious; but it is a word that needs to be
spoken, and we can probably say it better
than can the faculties Of the colleges, which
may deem themselves powerless to arrest the
decline of what should be noble and honora-
bic rivalry, however plainly they may recog-
nize or sincerely deplore it.
