The Apple Crop.
Communicated:

Communicated:
The past season has produced very
large apple crop in all this section of
country and the only question now is what
to do with them. They are SO plenty in
market that it will not pay to take them
any great distance aud our r. R. makes
an unjust discrimination against them by
charging heavier rate than their value
will Warrant.
But with all our abundance at present,
the winter will not be half over, until we
begin to import fruit from a distance to be
sold at our stores in all our towns about US
We here have tried some experiments
with fruit dryers, to preserve those now
ripe and tiud il a not very difficult matter
to turn ont Il nice article of eyaporated APP
plies. Some one who could give their spe-
cial attention TO this business, as Il supple.
ment perhaps to the the canning business
might make good thing Of it. The apple
op ofN York state is not nearly SO "a g as
last year and there will no Doubt be good
market III the near future for our surplus.
Many of our apples conld be kept into the
winter 70 a profit if we were provided with
suitable cool storage for them, during the
few hot weeks or DAYS we already have aft
er onr apples are ripe-enough to use, and
before the average temperature is low
enough to send them to market in bulk with
safety. While it is hot as many davs we
have recently felt the only safe way to ship
them is in peach crates or baskets and there
haye been many sent to Philadelphia from
our home orchards here in this way. If
packed in tight barrels they rot quickly in
such weather. have tried it enough to
know that we can keep many apples over
this hot spell in an ice house or similar cool
place, and have frequently exhibited at
Oxford Fair from dozen to twenty variet
so kept. ! have now cellar that has also
done good service in this way only it is not
large enough. All apples, to be kept, must
be carefully hand picked from the tree, never

got over three times, but at each trip
just touched the bar with his shoulder
blades coming over, and Knocked it
down. After some club-swinging 10y
Sprengle Oscar Wolff gave q very
gretty exhibition on the trapeze. The
exhibition closed with pretty set-to
between Prof. McGraw and all eight
een-year.old pupil of his, Foley Butler.
The hits made by the boy were APP
plauded vigorously, and he showed he
had been we'll trained. The refresh
ment table was in charge of the ladies
of the Coudon family. and Mr.. Joseph
Coudon was hard worker for the sue
cess of the affair.
The aboye report was made by re-
porter of the baltimore american and is
mainly true; but there were not nearly
so many persons present as the report
er states; about 600 we believe is nearer
the count, and of course the receipts
given aie also exaggerated. About
half we should think will cover the
sum. The ''Carnival' was a very ell
tertaining exhibition, and every way
creditable and satisfactory. One fact
is omitted of the jumping athlete
vaulting over the OK. The OK gave a
twist and caught that part of the ath-
lete which goes over the fence last,
and hurt him right sharply"

where it cannot he avoided they must be
handled like eggs A cart load of apples,
or a load of bags in a horse cart, driven over
rough road, seldom escape without every
apple being bruised, untit to withstand de-
cay afterward.
Wnen fruit is as plenty as with this sea-
son, it becomes an easy matter to select the
best for snv given purpose and it would al
ford me pleasure to 60 through the or
chards and show the different sorts while
they are yet to be seen, on the trees and
ground, to any of my friends who are inter-
ested in apple culture or contemplate plant
ing for their own use or market. l have
had as many as sixty and there are more
than that number that have been faulty in
the orchards on the place; and | have row
of about thirty new ones, just ready to
fruit or that have shown specimens, from
Va. and western N. Carolina.
Among this number are many not worth
our attention, and have only grown trees
of those old kinds having decided merits,
as being of good quality, very productive,
or as long keeping winter frnit. 1t is in the
latter list that we are at preseLt short and
hope to be able to improve it.
The only thing that seems to be lacking
here just now is time or hands to do every.
thing IN its proper season, and yet we are
no worse off than the great fruit belt nor h
of us, where they are compelled to pay ex-
ira rates to get pickers to gather their fruit,
and, when it was as last year, thousands of
bbls. went to loss there, not being worth the
expense of marketing.

Rev. Mr.. Barrett of Port Deposit
made most exhaustive and convinc.

this place, on Friday evening last. in
favor of sustaining the local option
law and voting for the amendments.
Mr.. Barrett is an eloquent and earn

word or argument in favor of license
to come out and give his views on the
question; or that he would meet the
advocate Of license at any time or
place and discuss the question with
him. 1t is needless to say that no
one took up the gauntlet, or ever
will. There is nothing can be said
in favor of license that is founded
on fact There are a number OF theo-
ries which a fair trial has never failed
TO prove unsound. The church
is not the place for those meetings..
The class who have warm side for

not attend, consequently they are

Here and there a farmer is met
with who is in favor of re-estahlish,
ing license law. Inquiry will gen
orally bring out the tact that he has
an orchard that produces a good
crop of apples occasionally and he
is afraid he could not find a market
for his cider. This to be sure is a
small matter to override man S
conscience and principles But those
disintereSed advocates of license
need not'ssbe alarmed on this score;
there is always good market for
vinegar, apple butter. jellies, etc
into which wholesome preparations
cider and apples should be manufac.
tured. They are much more profit,
able than the raw cider. and man
could look himself in the face and
sleep we'll o nights while dealing in
such goods, while he would be likely
to feel unpleasantly if he saw his
neighbors or may be some Of his own
family, drunk and quarreling. from
having inbibed the cider he dealt in.

TIE CALIFORNIA MINES.
A Lawyer Explains How the Ripa-
rian Rights Decision will Affect

rian Rights Decision Will Affect
Them.
San Francisco Post.
"You mark my words. this decision es.
| tsblishing tho law of riparian rights IN
California will raise a big storm, and make
q world of trouble for a great many peo-
ple," said a well known lawyer from one OF
the mining counties. "Its a very radical
law" continued he, "and Is based on the
old theory Of Blackstone that the air and
water are Free II il a law that will work
q great deal of injury to organized capital
and the State at large. II IL ia enforced
and l suppose that the anti-debris men
will make ii a point to see that IL is-it Will
put an end to all the great mining INDUS
tries-that is, those that use q large
amount Of water. You see that under this
decision a farmer down by the mouth OF q
stream, who may have a ranch worth 5000,
can produce an injunction and stop the
working Of mining property valued at
millions. 1t is q law that will permit this
self-same rancher or other persons holding
land near the mouth OF a stream to consti-
tute himself a dog in the manger and say
that no water shall be diverted from the
river at any point above him, twit
standing the fact that such diversion
might not injure him. and that IL might
be the means of making hundreds OF
thousands Of acres OF land bloom like the
rose and add to the wealth OF the State.
The fact OF the matter Ia that few people
have realized the great principles involved
in the present case, and there are few who
expected TO see our Supreme Court write
Its decision out OF English law books in
stead OF making their own law, In accord
ance with right and in justice to the State.
What nonsense to hold hat a principle
that applies 20 certain conditions in one
country mast also apply In the same way
to different conditions in another country.
I am free TO say hat the decision did not
surprise me 30 very much, for l have
watched the course Of the Supreme Court
In this State for the last fifteen years.. Ten
or twelve years ago the Supreme Court was
all the other way, and held to the legal
axiom, : First In time, first in title" For
the last five years, however, 1t has kept
edging away from this principle in various
decisions until it has abandoned the former
position"
