CARD.


DEAR SIR.-I have noticed the past
winter families that have had the scar
let fever and diptheria in a very mild
form used no disinfectants, at least
none after the patients were consider
ed well. Now don't you think those
parents and the attending physician
fail to do their duty, in not having the
| house thoroughly fumagated, just as
much so as when the disease is fatal? l
believe that this is the main cause of
its spreading. I firmly believe that all
this suffering and sadness that my fam
lily have experienced the past winter, is
due to the negligence of some of those
having the disease in its mildest form,
and not taking the necessary precau-
lions to check its spread. Yours.
G. B. WRIGHT.
THERE have lately been placed upon
the market several cheap reprints of an
| obsolete edition of "Webster's Diction-
ary." These books are given various
names, "Webster's Unabridged, "The
Great Webster's Dictionary web
ster's Big Dictionary" "Webster's
Encyclopedia Dictionary" ETC., etc.
Many announcements concerning
them are misleading. The Webster
reprint portion of each from A to z is
the same,-forty four years behind the
| times, and printed from plates made by
photographing the old pages.
The old book has been padded out by
| various additions culled from various
sources, but the body is the same that
was published wher Polk vas president
| and duly buried at the incoming of Lin
| coin. The Webster, current from Lin.
| coin to Harrison, is the popular copy
righted "Unabridged" which has just
been superseded by WEBsTER's INTER
| NATIONAL DICTIoNARY.-See adver.
tisement in another column.

A Steamer Sinks.

The steamer John +. Tygert, of the
Maryland and Virginia Steamboat
Company's Line sank on Monday night
August 2Sth. She had been chartered
by the Wheeler Transportation Line
and was running fruit from down the
river points to Baltimore She sank
near the mouth of Trappe river in
Talbot county, Nd. about 60 miles
from Baltimore. Water was discov-
cred pouring into the hold of the boat
but she made Trappe landing in safe
ty and landed the passengers on board.
Shortly after ~ o'clock midnight the
steamer sank at the landing in about
five feet of water. There were on board
abou. 400 baskets of peaches, many

Talbot county. W. G. Robinson was

THE PEACH CROP.
The S ipments This Season will be
over 50O0000 Baskets.

The shipment of peaches over the
Delaware Division has been on the de-
crease the past week. About 4.225,-
900 baskets have been shipped and it
is thought that the next few weeks will
make total of about 100000 bask.
cts.
The storms of the last two weeks
have damaged the crop ut least one
million baskets.
The crop will then come up TO the
estimate made by Special Agent |. n.
Mills, his estimate being 100000
baskets.
Inquiring at the Superintendent's
office here elicits the fact that this has
been as big peach season as 1870
While the number Of ears shipped will
not be so great, the number of baskets
will be even greater. The cars used
in 1875 were all small ones, but now
the bulk of the cars are very much
larger.
The number of cars shipped in 1875
was 9,O72, with 4,s26.3O4 baskets
The average per car then was 532
baskets, while this year it is 700 bask-
cts.
Peaches sold Tuesday in Boston at
from SO cents to Sl.00; Philadelphia
25 to 60 cents; Wilmington, 30 to IS
cents. CLAYTON Call.

tumnal equinox about the 1lth to the

watch for them. The II and 18th are
minor storm days. aggravated by
Earth's equinox and Moons first quar-
ter. Keep open eyes. The same

A JUST JUDICIAL REBUKE.

The decision of the state supreme
court in the railroad commissioner con,
test case, in which the newly appointed
member of the board is declared entitled
to the seat held by Mitchell, the old
member. ought to cause the wild critics
OF the court in its decision of the legis-
lative contest last winter, hang to their
heads in shame, if they are capable OF
experiencing such sensations. Justice
Horton improved the opportunity, in
rendering the decision, to express some
wholesome truths that should be treas
ured in the minds of all, and especially
by those who have been so ready to ac-
cuse the court of partisanship in its rul-
ngs. He said, in part:
Official obligation and fealtv to the
constitution, with an upright Judge are
above and beyond personal friendships
or party interests. The courts are for
the people, not for party, and every
person should confidently apply TO theru,
with the assurance that his rights, and
not his politics viii be considered and
adjudged. \ free government is best
subserved, when based upon equitable
and just laws, with fair and impartial
courts open and ready. as far as possible,
TO redress all grievances.
