Miss EUNICE ANTHONY, who has
nice amateur outfit, photographed the
Presbyterian Church and one or two
other buildings one day last week.
JOHN P. JONES has bought the Mat
thew Hutchinson farm,-between No.
school house and RaymOnd's Church,
containing 1872 acres for $4,000. The
purchase was made of the administra-
tor, RObt. H. Green.
GEO. F. Brown, who has been
home from Virginia on his summer va
cation spending the past week with
his family at Woodland Beach, was
summoned to Norfolk on Monday
morning by the firm of which he is
salesman of the Herring safes, fire
having occurred there Saturday night
burning whole block and involving
loss of 100000.
THOUSANDS of bushels of good APP
pies will go to waste this year. The
manufacture of cider and vinegar fro m
these apples would pay we'll and the
cost of plant void be slight. If the
cider could not be disposed of at once
it could be utilized next year in the
form of vinegar in the manufacture of
pickles of various kinds, the fruit and
vegetables for which can be successfully
raised in the immediate neighborhOod.
THE Outbuildings, including the
barn, stables and carriage house on
the farm of A. Ennis, of Thoroughfare
Neck, were burned to the ground
about o'clock Sunday morning. In
addition to the buildings 300 bushels of
wheat, all the farming implements, in
Guiding thresher, stacker, &c, harness
and other articles were DESTROYED
The entire loss will probably aggregate
$1,000, on which there is an insurance
of $500 on buildings and 500 on con
tents. The fire is generally supposed
to have been the work of an incendiary.
The place was in the tenure of his
son, George.
G.. A. Wick, who has been serving
the people faithfully in the tOnsOrial
art for the past twenty years or more,
who has been run down in health from
his close application to his business.
has made arrangements to secure
needed TEST. With this in view he has
secured a competent barber from Phila-
delphia, Jacob Stein, to take his place
for few weeks and tomorrow he pur.
poses starting on u trip to Watkins Glen,
Niagara Falls, &c, and will visit in
the meantime his friend, DR.. John W.
Flick. formerly a resident of Smyrna,
now residing at HOneOye Falls, not
far from Niagara. i is hoped that he
may return quite built up.

| OF snow Il Co.'S. condition of the BOs-
ton market will show one of the causes
for the low prices of peaches: Owing
to the intense heat and unfavoIable
conditions Of the weather in other par
tlculars, peaches have been arriving in
this market during the week now clos
ing in a very bad condition. Fruit
that left Delaware, as reported to us
fine IN every particular, has come to
US badly spotted and ROTTEN. Yester-
days train consisted of IS cars with
scarcely any sound fruit In IT, Early
sales ran as high as $1.15 for something
fairly sound and bright, and from that
down to 20 cents, the bulk going from
40 to rs cents.
ONE day last week a man near Ches-
void went over to a neighbours oppo-
site to make barrel of cider but not
having quite enough apples to All it
as full as he would like it, he went over
to his home for more. While he was
gone the neighbours hogs took advan-
tage of the opportunity to sample his
cider which they did by rolling the
barrel oyer until the contents had all
guFgled out aJ the bgng, and when he
returned his barrel was empty and
muddy and the gFunters apparently
.contented and happy, but Sam was
not. However, he viewed his loss
calmly by removing his hat and
scratching his head only, and further
taking it as lasting lesson never
again to leave barrel of cider in care
of hogs
The city folks enjoy an abundant
fruit crop as we'll as do the farmers.
and profit by it too. Says the New
York Tribune: Plenty of fruit at prices
within the reach of all is the rule in
this metropolis ut present. The con.
trast between last year and this is most
striking. A year ago New York was
almost wholly dependent on California
Tor pears, peaches, etc, but now the
Eastern growers have practically a
monopoly of the field. Peaches are the
fruit most in demand at present, and
the coming week will probably see the
largest supplies that the Delaware
orchards can AFFORD. The gloomy pre-
dictions about the failure Of the peach
crop were the work of false prophets.
Peaches are plentiful, the prices are
reasonable, and everybody can have
his ell.

follows:
And now farewell. May the little
city go quietly on its accustomed
way. May the broad Delaware flow
idly on its course to the sea, until il
carries you to eternity. May never an

Sleep ON, little city,. and may your
