On Saturday and Sunday last, two
children Of Edgar Roy, residing in our
town, died of some virulent throat dis
ease, which some of our physicians
have pronounced diptheria. The chill
dren were boy and girl, and were six
and eight years of age.
This is very fatal nalady with chill
dren, and one which demands prompt
and efficient treatment. We have no.
ticed in some Of our exchanges that "a
gargle of one teaspoonful of flower of
sulphur to a half glass of water" was a
aaministered Isi n 1 time: It S is veTy e1s SIM
pie and harmless prescription, and GER
tainly worthy Of Q fair trial.

We are informed that the failure in
the display of fireworks, which was to
be the grand closing, of our glorious
celebration on the Fourth, was caused
10y the illness of Mr.. JOS. Frozard, who
had the entire matter in hand, and who
for that reason was unable to attend to
the matter. The material for a grand
display is Oh hand, and at some time in
the near future an exhibition may be
expected that will astonish the natives.

The peach crop of the Delaware an

years been worth more than $2,O00,OOO

drains this peach country, has shipped 81

peaches grown about Delaware City; tn
peach belt has moved south on the PENN

Of the peach, has driven the orchards gu
Of existence, and the average crop, which
was few years ago 3,OOOO00 baskets
is now less than 1,OOO,OOO"
This years crop will he less than mil

less. The dccadencc Of the peach crol
means not only loss TO the farmers but AZ
enormous loss to the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, which owns both the Phil

the Delaware Roads, over which all the
peaches shipped by rail must pass.
So important is the question presented
by The prospective disappearance Of thu
peach from the peninsula that the United
States government has detailed a spccia
agent to the region to study peach culture
with hope that something may be don,
To stop the ravages Of the "ycllows' and
