The Irn1f S. asOn.

The fruit seasou is nearly ended 80
 far as the peaches are concerned. The quantity this season has been unprece-
 dented, and Q much greater quantity of peaches has been put up here in tfa
 shape of preserves. jam. lnarmelade
 and butter than in any three previous years. And the crop was so large that it was impossible for the people to take proper care of it, and consequently large quantities of the finest fruit were lost. The crop of apples bids fair to
 equal that of peaches. They are just
 now getting ripe and as most of the orchards arc of the winter varieties,
 can be saved with no trouble. MT. A.
 A. Gibbons brought to this office, the latter part of last week, 6 lot of apples grown from trees planted a number of years ago by his grandfather, the late Andrew Gibbons. The samples given us were remarkably fine fruit. Some were of the Ben Davis variety, and while not remarkable for large size, were almost the ideal apple for winter use. They Were absolutely without fault or bIemish. and were pretty as pictures when poured out on our table. The coloring of the fruit was very beau tifuI, while it's texture was firm and solid as a rock. It is remarkable that country will produce such fine apples, growing side by side with the finest peaches and apricots. As fruit coun- try, this section is very rem markable, as 1t produces as fine peaches as those grown in Delaware and California and as fine apples as Michigan and Mis-. sOuri

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Beyond
the fact that the general deficiency ap-
preparation bill will be passed and that
the Senate will stand ready to take up
the tariff bill at any time that a report
may be brought in by the conference
committee, little can be predicted OF
the course of events in the Senate dur
ing the present week. The disposition
is to do little in the way of general
legislation and there is a proposition
under consideration by the leaders Of
the two sides Of the chamber to adopt
the plan now in vogue in the House,
for sitting only every third day after
the deficiency bill shall have been dis
nosed of
