lists. The object Of the duty will be
to raise the price of block tin and we
have no doubt that this object will be
attained, 80 that the Immediate re-
suit of the discovery of new metal
In this country will be that it will
cost us more than it did when we had
to bring it from the other side of the
world. We are of course informed
that the Dakota tin miners get 50 SO
a day while the miners in Cornwall
get Is cents, and we presume that the
miners of the Straits Settlements
work for nothing and board them
selves. But we learned last Summer
from the New York Tribune that cop
per mined in Montana by men who
got So 80 day was carried all the
way to London and there sold for a
cent pound less than the Spanish
copper mined by men who got 80
cents day could be sold for.-INa-

The Picket Fence Problem.

The Examiner contends that it will
take a greater number of pickets, set
perpendicularly, to build a fence a
given distance over hill than If the
same was built on level ground, and
advances the theory that as the CEN
ter Of the earth is the center of gray
ity, a set of perpendicular piczets, set
in line, will show a slight CONVEX
gence, and thus will require greater
number of picl5ets to build the fence
over the hill; but as this conveyance
is the same on level ground that it is
on hill, the theory of the Examiner
will not hold good, and the same
number OF pickets will build a fence
a given distance between two points,
whether the fence is built over hill
or on level ground.

Dehorning Cattle.

1t appears from exchanges that a
few stockmen are still practicing the
brutal system of dehorning cattle.
How any person possessed of even the
commonest instinct so of humanity can
consent to torture poor, dumb brutes
in this manner it is a mystery to
understand. If man who practices
such cruelty should be confined and
have some Of his finger nails pulled
off with pair of tweezers he would
realize what excruciating pain an
animal suffers by having it's horns
taken off. There should be a law
making it a criminal offence to de-
horn cattle.

The annual railroad estimate Of the
Delaware peach crop removes any lin
gering doubt that may have remained
about the failure of that crop this
year, Railroad men don't trihe with
statistics of this kind, and their fig
ures may be taken as about correct.
According to the estimate, this year
will yield the shortest peach crop in
the history of Delaware with but two
exceptions, one in 1868 and the other
in 1861. The warm weather which
advanced the buds prematurely, and
the cold snaps we had in the spring,
which blasted them are responsible
for the shortage, and economical house
wives will have to put up other fruit
this summer. Unfortunately pears are
not going to be very plentiful either,
according to present indications, and
altogether the prospect of filling those
empty preserve jars looks very slim.
$4,000 baskets is the estimate given by
Supt. l. N. Mills aud his able assistants
as the Peninsula yield Ofpeaches. As Mr.
Mills is man who never takes prema-
ture step and generally knows what he
is talking about, this is about the mum
ber of baskets that may be expected

was one of the largest days of the sea-
son at the Beach, and the fact that
everybody expressed his or her delight
at the days outing is an honest trib-
ute to Mr.. L. P. CampbelPs efforts to

nience of his patrons.
Berry season has ended, and with
berry season the fruit season ends
there being no peaches, no pears, no

only grower here who had any. red
raspberries of fany moment, picked the
last of his crop last week. He began
nicking his reds on June 10, thus hav-
ing a season of over six weeks notwith-
standing the dry weather. He IN
forms me that he realized out OF his
reds $115,62 per acre, clear of picking
and all expenses of shipping. He was
fortunate in not having his vines win
