WHITE potatoes, which have been
almost without sale for six months,
have been booming in price for the
past few days. Philadelphia is said 10
be without supply the amount in hand
being consumed and no importations
arriving. The price is now 80 to 80
cents per bushel.
Some go to the mountains
And some 70 tuesea,
And some stay at home

THE Citizens Hose Company has
[ been invited to both MiddletoWn and
( Dover to spend the Fourth of July,
but accepted the latter, rs they had
been to tie former place. The prin-

will consider it safe for it to leave
town SO long, considering the possi-
bilitics Of the day, is q question.
THE death Of John Farrell and the
failure Of J. Frank Denney last week

likewise true of this town and vicinity,
and can only be set down as among
the unfortunate events Of this eventtui
year.
