SECRETARY.
The family of Robert Denney, at
Duck Creek, have had new potatoes
from their patch several times, the first
Sunday week, before June entered.
This is unusually early.
These be busy days or rather busy
mornings, not only with the men, but
the women and children likewise, in
the berry patches. 1t is the first har-
vest of the season, and necessarily
puts good deal of money in circula-
ton.
Messrs. Tschudy & Cats are fortu-
nate enough during the present de-
mand for strawberry boxes, to have in
stock a large quantity. They have
sold 5000 crates this season, not to
speak of the extra strawberry boxes.
William H. Heath, of Dutch Neck,
was arrested, fined with costs SO. 46,
and held in peace bond of 800 fol
striking and knocking his wife down
on Wednesday last. He was released
upon giving security. Constable Pratt
made the arrest.
The cessation of the rainy period ten
or twelve days ago, stopped the rust
in the wheat, but the crop will hardly
be what was promised two months age
though it looks we'll. The thresher, 6
month from this, will reveal the actual
condition of things.
A month or six weeks ago we SEN
| out bills to a number of our subscrib
ers in arrears. From large number
of these there has been no response o
any kind, to let us know that it was
received. Please let us hear from you
Strawberries have been very fint
this year. Not only have they beer
large, but abundant, and this has KEEP
the price down remarkably lOw-3 anC
4 cents a quart. Without a visitation
of rain, except in low, moist ground
the season will be virtually over b.
another week.
High tides was the prevailing feat
ure in our tributaries to the Della
ware and marshes all last week, sew
eral times topping the causeways
High, northeast winds O part of the
time was doubtless the cause, and {
j noticeable thing is that the wind hai
prevailed from this quarter the most O
the time for month past, instead O
from the west.
The ccol weather has been to th,
advantage of berry shippers, though
with this great advantage, they hay,
been too numerous for profit Mon
day the mercury was down to "a de
grees, and early pickers must hav
had cold fingers. Yesterday morn
ing the record was SO degrees and thi
morning 80 degrees, but the indica
tions are for rise in the temperature
