A PEACH CIRCULAR.
The middIetown Growers Solicit
Buyers TO Come There.

W 2OAhAC hGFea
A number of Middletown, Del, peach
growers, including N. n. Willis, William
r Cochran, George w. Lockwood, M. N.
Willis, William Green, William RothweIl.
William Polk, M. d. Wilson, Joseph b.
Deakyne, Charles Derrickson, K. r
Cochran, Nathaniel Williams, William
Price, .Sereck F. .Shallcross and John L.
Wilson, have sent out circular, with a
view Of attracting fruit buyers to that
town and the neighboring railroad stations
The principal part of the circular reads az
follows:
/" For the mutual benefit OF growers. deal
ers and consumers, ths undersigned peach
growers In the vicinity OF MiddIetowp.
Delaware, would set forth the following
facts and conclusions In regard to the crop
Of peaches now growing on this Peninsula
Inasmuch as an idea prevails that the
greater part Of the said crop will be
controlled by and marketed under the
direction OF the Bureau of Informa-
ton and Distribution. an Organization
for marketing fruit under certain fixed
regulations and restrictions; and, whereas
the fact that such idea does prevail will
tend to deter dealers from distance, who
have been accustomed to come here for the
purpose OF buying fruit, and other buyers
also from coming this present season for
that purpose, which result would be highly
detrimental to the interests OF the peach
growers
Therefore, In order to correct In some
measure erroneous impressions MS to the ex-
tent OF the control aforesaid, that may be
had over the peach crop, the undersigned,
as an instance would make a statement
concerning s-Middletown-and adjoin-
ing stations.
The quantity Of peaches 10 be shipped
this year, as estimated by the railroad offi.
cials, is: From Middletown, 900, 900 baskets;
from Mt. Pleasant, four miles north,
$4,000 baskets; from Townsend,
four miles south, 10000 baskets.
"a brisk market at these points would
draw from points east and west from 6 to
s per cent. more. that otherwise would 60
to Philadelphia or Baltimore by water
transportation. Thus 1t will be seen, IL the
railroad estimates are In anywise correct
there will be delivered at the Abovenamed
stations from 4OO, 600 to 500 900 baskets OF
peaches, the much greater part of which
are now, and will be, under the control of
the individual growers and open to pur-
chassrs. And this statement, as to the
freedom Of the market, 10 true as to all the
principal stations on the Delaware railroad
and its branches

BY Letter to EVENING JOURNAL
NEW CASTLE, Del, July 20.--A Law
and Order Society has been organized
in this city by number of the promi-
nent men of the several churches. 1t
has been organized for the purpose of
holding all that was gained by the
action of the last court; to sustain the
wisdom and patriotism of Delaware
friends who enacted the present
stringent liquor laws; to uphold the
laws against vulgRrity in the streets
and to protect the morals of the young
people, etc. Since the court adjourned
bhose having licenses have been
more careful; not all, how
ever, have stopped violating
the Law, and some of the drinking
fraternity have declared it an outrage
that the privileges of buying whiskOy
on Sunday should be taken from
American citizens; that they should
not submit, and intend to send such
men to the Legislature as will repeal
all laws obnoxious TO the whiskey
drinkers and give them law protect
ing them in their rights to open
saloons on the laboring mans holiday.
Dover, with its 1000 people, the capt.
tai of the state and of Kent
county, necessarily entertaining at
times multitudes Of people, finds
three hotels with bars ample.
New Castle with 1000 people,
capital of nothing, with no
necessary gathering of people,
had until a few weeks ago, II
places called hotels, which the requis-
lite number OF respectable citizens de.
clared were necessary to accomo-
date the public. At the recent session
of the court, after desperate effort
led by the Methodist and Presbyterian
ministers, who we're tclosely seconded
by many of the very best citizens OF
this city, two Of the eleven saloons
were closed. During the trials Of these
cases the judges gave particular heed
to all violations of ths law.
The society organized recently IL
composed of some of the very best
citizens Of this city, snd we'll may the
whiskey people be moro careful in the
conducting Of their business.
The people of this city well knew
that the New Castle nine out of
Company II would beat any club
among the militia and consequently
were not at all surprised to hear OF the
victory gained by them.
About 80 persons went from this
city yesterday to Brandywine Springs,
among whom were Prof. F. S. Duncan,
