THE PEACH CROP.-The informing
News" estimates that the Peninsulal
peach growers have very probably re-
allied the magnificent sum of 81, $50,
900 for their fruit this year, and thus
divides the profits:
1.-THE greater portion of this princely
income goes to the peach growers, OF
course. The consumers paid at least
three-fOurths of the railroad and steam
Ooat freights,and the selling and load
ing i'm cars and boats cost the growers
barely two cents basket tits roughly
estimated that it costs about five cents
basket, off and on, to have the fruit
picked, sorted and delivered at the
point of shipping, of which four cents
90 to the hired picker. At this rate it
is seen that the labOrers of the PENN
sula-and il Is to be depiOred that a
great many of them are strangers and
tramps-earned $3.50, 000in two months
for simply picking the fruit. Another
prolific source of income to the labor
ers is the canning and evapOrating of
the 500 900 or more baskets which have
been diverted to that channel. Labor
received probably a tenth of the total
income, which is fair average pay for
unskilled hands. This amount has
already been pretty nearly all distrib-
uted among the stores; the growers
themselves have distributed at least as
much, making a total of money circu-
latiOn on the Peninsula, over and above
what il was two months ago, of $780,
coo. Whatever the financial strait in
other communities may be. there ought
to be no trouble here.n

THE railroad company has q large
force of men at the depot putting up a
bridge across the outlet of the mill
pond. 1t will be substantial struc-
ture to take the place of the old piling
that the track las run across hereto
fore. 1t is one hundred and three feet
six inches long, and is what is known
as a trestle bridge with packed chord
stringer. The piling were cut off two
feet under water and heavy white oak
bents put on them, and on these the
bridge rests. The P. R. r. evidently
intends to put the road in first-class
order.

/ THIS has been, probably, the bes
/ year the peach growers Of Delaware
have ever known. And tie gooC
prices obtained for fruit were owing ia
part to the local demand created by
Gamers and cvaporators, and partly BY
the presence at our depots Of buyers
who took the fruit off of the farmers
hands and shipped it to points north
and west where It was needed. Thus
the farmer got cash for his fruit,and il
was widely distributed. instead of glut-
ting a few markets as has been the
case before when every farmer shipped
his own fruit. Another year and the
plan ofthe Wyoming Fruit Exchange
will be adopted at many stations along
the railroad and the peaches be sold at
home each day. 1t is a system that
will prove much the most satisfactory
to all parties.
MR.. S. NJ. SIMPLER returned to Mil

have been cut in this neighborhOod

made by tying pine poles together
16x25 feet, on these are placed q bun
dies ofbrush l6 feet long, about inches
of loose brush is scattered on this, and
the whole sewed through and through
with needle and wire. This makes
what is called mattress. Rows of
piles are driven across the line of the
dyke so feet apart, between each Of
these three mattresses are placed and |
then sunk by piling on stone. The
dyke does not come above the water,
and it is expected to change the cur
rent of the river at that place and clear
out the channel. There will be used |
in its construction 10 piling, IA, 1870
fascines, or bundles of brush, and 49,
900 yards of stone. The men work

More About Institutes.
EDITOR REVIEW:

EDITOR REVIEW:
AS much has been said of late, pro.
and con-, about institutes we beg space
to ventilate our humble views on the
subject. Since Mr.. Tobias had the
manliness and pluck to set the bali roll
ling there will be many willing and
ready to get in a kick. About 90 per
cent. OF the teachers heartily endorse
Mr.. Tobias sentiments and believe, as
he does, that Institutes are an unmiti-
gated nuisance, and would say so if
they had the courage of conviction. 1t
takes no small amount of ..sand'' to
say anything except what's nice about
such an institution as an institute. The
methods adviced at Institutes can not
be successfully applied in country
schools-the principal reasons are: too
frequent change of teachers; too short
terms of school; irregularity of attend
ance, and too much diversity of tongue.
We are personally acquainted with many
of the teachers of Brown county, and we
believe they are qualified ladies and gen.
tlemen who have had much experience
in country school teaching. And we
are of the opinion that they know as
much about the wants of country dis
trict school as most institute instructors
who have never taught one can tell
them. If they don't they will never
learn at an institute in one week. But
so long as the State is willing to pay
the piper, music will be plenty.
