Tie prospects are that farmers OF the
Peninsula will grow Immense quantities Of
produce for canning factories this season, MS
rrauIt Of tine peach crop failure. Gamers
are Offering good prices to farmers to con
tract for tomatoes, and a Il result great
many have contracted, while others viii
grow them for shipment. Farmers will also
grow sugar corn on large scale this season
A great many peas have been contracted for,
but as they were sown during the wet
weather of several weeks ago, ii is feared the
crop will be small. Pear, apple and cherry
trees are white with blossoms, owing to The
warm weather of the past week, ond there is
every reason to believe thar the crop OF these
fruits will be large.
In accordance with the general instruc-
tons Of this administration to United States
Consuls, 20 report everything that may be OF

Germany, writes the following description OF
the preparation of potato bread, with which

and endurance. 1.-The POTATOES are stewed
equal quantity Of corr meal added, mixing
the whole into a thick paste, adding a little
salt. The paste is divided into four pound
loayes aud baked till thoroughly done. When
cold. they are fed to horses doirg heavy
work, at tnc rate Of four oavrs a day, one IN
the morning, one at noon, one about four
O'Clock, aud one at night, giving with the last
one. about ten pounds OF poor hay
-Tuere is strong probability that Cover
nor Tunnel. Of Delaware, will not appoint n
United Stares Senator to succeed Judge Gray
and if any one is appointed, he will not lie
named until after the appointment Of former
Senator Quuy is considered by the Senate
Governor Tunnel, was ASKED on Tuesday, il
he intended to appoint Il Senator, and said:
81 have given the matter no consideration
whatever, and there is no probability Of nay
appointing a Senator. hardly think it would
be worth while to take such action, Tor the
reason that if | should appoint Senator he
could only serve till the next session OF Con-
gress, and would then have 10 run his chances
OF brim.. seated or turned down. SO far ~
Governor Stones establishment OF IL prrre-
dent is concerned do not think it will hold,
as decisions rendered on this point have been
in vogue for a great many years and it IS
hardly probable that the Senate will reverse
its opinion in this particular case" In spite
Of this statement, Democratic leaders assert
that there is Il likelihood of the Governor
Amounting a Senator should Mr.. Quay, of
PENNSYLVANIA, be seated. The friends OF
Willard Salisbury are particularly anxious
for The Governor to make II selection, and
the friends OF John Biggs are talking earnestly
OF him.
-Inesmuch as the Providence Paper Mill
and the Elkton Pulp Works of the Singerly
Pulp and Paper Company will soon be sold
by the trustees, it is Interesting to note the
condition of tho paper trade. According to
the statement OF Il Western paper dealer, the
Paper Trust is meeting with considerable OPP
postion in the West, and will not be able to
control all the paper used by the newspapers
in this country. A paper company Of
Chicago which resisted the overtures of the
trust controls the output of four large mills
in Wisconsin, with a capacity of 175 tons OF
print paper n day, and also that Of two East
ern mills, which will be able in short time
to turn out 1875 tons Il day. A new mill,
equipped with the latest and most improved
machinery, is in course Of erection, The
Trust controls mills that produce ], 800 tons n
day. With an opposition which can put on
the market 300 tons a day, the dealer said,
the Trust will not be able to have things its
