We notice that many oysters are be-
ing shipped by cur oystermen to near by
points in barrels. They receive a fair
price for them and if the supply does not
become exhausted before the season
closes, the orders from adjacent towns
will prove a source Of considerable re-
muneration to the shippers.

THIS week will about wind up the
peach crop in this locality. Of course
there will be few peaches shipped for
some two weeks more, but the crop as
interests the buyers, is for 1898, a thing
of the past. It's result has been no little
disappointment; t;especially to the growers,
who have encountered a multitude of an
noyances and troubles, since the early
peaches matured, and the crop seemed to
be comparatively assured success. The
glut that came on with the excess of
Troths, the subsequent low prices OBJ
tanned, the nigh freight rates, consequent
upon the carrying monopoly of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, the comparative
scarcity of cars at times and the great
damage from the many hard storms, has
fabricated a tale of woe for the growers
which many will not soon forget. OF
course there has been some money
brought into the peninsula, and much
has been paid out for labor, but as finan-
ciaI success to the grower the crop of '93
can by no means be considered an as
sured fact.

MONDAY last, the nth. inst, the
II6th anniversary of the Battle of Brandy
wine was appropriately celebrated in
Chester county, Pa. Some elaborate and
exceedingly interesting historical ad-
dresses were made, all pertinent to, the oc-
casion. There was a general holiday in
the schools, and a regular jubilee was
had, to commemorate the futile attempt
of the British, to enter Philadelphia, then
the seat of government of our country.
The life blood of many a Blue Hens
chicken, was here emptied in the de-
feuse of home and country, and the es-
cutcheon of many a Delaware family, is
emblazored with the proud, chivalric
names of those heroic sons, who sacri-
feed all, that others might through future
generations, enjoy that liberty, so cher
ished by eveEy American citizen.

IT'S A MANUFAO1URERY BILL
Congressman Harter Admits that the Will

son Tariff scheme IL DrcIdedly SectioaaI.
BosToS. Dec. 2.-ConRressman Harter OF
Ohio. who Is in town. was asked to-day as to
the probable fate OF the Wilson bill He said !:
Il think the Wilson bill will pass the House
promptly and with few changes. or course
ample time will be given to its opponents as
a matter OF Justice to them. and also because
their speeches In opposition are likely TO con-
vince the public that the bill ought to become
law. BY the time it reaches the Senate the bill
will have earned the support OF the people OF
moderate views in both parties.
The bill has the great fault OF not going far
enough, but all will admit that this is much
less OF defect than to 90 too far shall vote
for It with pleasure. 1t is a bill IN which New
England has deep stake. for 1t leaves her
amply protected while II gives her free raw
materials 1t would not be very extravagant
to say the Wilson bin is worth Sl.OOO.OOO a
day TO the manufacturers and worklngmen OF
the New England and Eastern States.
The fact OF the whole matter is that II Is a
manufacturers tariff The balance OF the
very considerable indeed. but the cream goes
to the manufacturers, and largely To the manu-
fRcturers OF the East, for we in the West al
ready have cheap raw materials, very cheap
ton which nearness 20 the consumer gives.
The manufacturers OF the West and south are
in a measure independent OF tartn legislation.
except that the Mckinley bill INJURIES them
deeply by increasing the cost OF many OF their
materials without opening up any eompensat-
