Yesterday was one Of the heaviest
peach day on the Delaware Railroad this
season. just 1879 carloads passed over the
line yesterday. The heaviest points OF
consignment were as follows: Jersey
City, "a Philadelphia, so; Wilmington,
IS: aud Boston, 10. Yesterdays ship
ments over the Delaware road make 3 ,20l
car loads the total for the season.
The local market WAS better than 1t
has been this season. Jrawfords prime
brought rs cents. Old Mixons, 60 to 80
cents. while other varieties went readily
at 30 and 80 cents. The market was
supplied. but not glutted, and the de-
mand was good.
There is one feature about the peach
market that is worrying the housewife
and that is that glass Jars for holding
preserves have advanced from 81 to 81. 90
per dozen. The rise in price Is occssioned
By the heavy demand on cans, making
the supply much less than the demand
and causing more glass jars to be used.

A New Law Causes Receiver Dickey and
Newark Residents TO Rave a misander-
standing.
Receiver of lakes Dickey and the tax,
payers of Newark are DO longer at logger
heads over the collection OF road taxes In
that part of White Clay Creek hundred
embraced in the corporate limits.
Several days ago Mr. Dickey was sit
ting as receiver in Newark and the citi-
zens wanted to pay him county taxes,
but refused to pay him road taxes as
they claimed he had no right to receive
them. This put the receiver on hi.
mettle and he refused to receive county
taxes unless the road taxes accompanied
them.
The residents became agitated, and
employed Bradford & Vandegrift ia
represent them. They found that the
late General Assembly passed law pro
yiding that the levying and collection OF
taxes for that part of White Clay Greek
hundred be vested 20 the Town Council,
and the Town Council should make an
annual payment of $500 to tue road com
missioners OF the hundred, in order that
the town help to keep up the roads.
L. g. Vaudegrift called Receiver
Dickeys attention 30 the law. he
readily saw the error, and will now take
the county taxes without the road taxes,
