Concert To-Morrow Evening by the
 Rock Concert Company. The Rock Concert company, which gave an entertainment in Epworth M. E. church last Friday evening, will give the same programme at St. Andrews M. E. church, at the Four Corners, to- morrow evening. The concert at Ep- perth church was very refined in char acter and something out of the ordi- nary. The music of the musical glass es and swinging harps was specially sweet and pleasing, and the whole pro- gramme was much enjoyed by nearly two hundred persons. The affair netted $4O which gives $20 to the Ladies Aid society of the church. Following is the programme:

 PLANS FOR A NATIONAL PARK.
 There is talk here, as elsewhere, of course, of setting the field apart as a national park. The owner of the land | is hopeful that when an energetic repre- sentative from this district gets into congress here will be a bill put through approprating sum for him. It really has a claim, though of different sort, equal to that of Antietam and Freder- icksburg, which has been recently granted.
 Strongly in contrast with the appear ance of the guide is the neat little na- tional cemetery a Seven Pines center It's area is measured in square rods, but it contains two or three thousand dead unknown, many, but remember with a lettered granite post sunk into the earth Ivy in profusion covers the brick house of the keeper and the walls; and, if I remember correctly from fly ing trip last spring, roses are hard-by at their blooming time. The name OF the cemetery comes from seven pines just inside the front wall, disposed at regular intervals. The center is marked by towering flagstaff, with beautiful "Old Glory" and an old-fash- toned smooth bore cannon set up on end and painted a glstening black, as if brand-new. Thanked on each Of four sides by gems from war poetry cast in metal, 1t stands; and extremes meet here as so often, for this Union ceme- tery and the cemetery for the Confede- rates alike make use of the stanza: "On Flames eternal camping ground
 Their silent tents upspread;
 While Glory keeps, with solemn round,
 The bivouac of the dead,
 \ But our car Is waiting and, leaving these quiet avenues of rest. we speed away to the busiest thoroughfare8.

SEVEN PINES REVISITED.

9 What Norwich Man Noted During 8
 Day on the Famous Battlefeld-A
 Virginia Trolley Trip.
 Frederick c. J. Bronson, of Norwich
 who is teaching in a college in Rich- Z fnond, Va, sends the Norwich Bulletin the following interesting letter: had the opportunity on Washing toms birthday, in company with a friend from the university, of visiting < the battlefield of Seven Pines, field in- teresting to everybody as marking the nearest approach to Richmond of the Union army before it's evacuation by the Confederates in 1865
 Strictly speaking. there is one place nearer than this, viz, Mechanicsvile, northerly from Seven Pines on a pike of the same name; but fame, loving a shining mark, has advanced an already 1lIustrious battlefield several numbers over the head of a minor one. Seven Pines is seven miles away from the center of Richmond, Va, five miles, we might say, from the eastern outskirts; Mechanicsvills is only five miles from the center of the city. There is still further confusion about these distances, AIlSluS IIOIIl lIlG ldCI llldl l1le GodLllG OI Seven Pines began at Fair Oaks-only the same number of miles away from Richmond as Mechanicsville; it was only when, as I understand it, they were unable to hold their advanced po- Eition at Fair Oaks that the Union sol- Ciiers fell back to what is now known as the main battlefield.
 A TRIP BY TROLLEY.
 It is cheap trip to go to Seven Points. There is city line of electrics which takes one, two or three miles through the city streets, and connects with what is called the Seven Pines line run by the same company. For fare of four and one-sixth cents (six for a quarter) one can ride a distance ap- preaching that we are reading about in the lines which are now forming net work through New England, not to speak of fully as far as in Chicago-at least as it was in the recent past. It is one of the tricks of the trade to learn that a transfer is good here, the same as If oil were within city limits; where as the route. though passing houses all the way, is in some places even lonely until 1t ends in all woods.
 The cars run in the morning starting at S:30, and next at 10:00; from there on, each hour through the day. It is a trip of forty minutes through rolling country. Two cars serve the purpose, passing at a switch halfway out. When one gets to Fair Oaks he crosses the West Point railroad, leading l through the peninsula made famous by Mcclellan and to Yorktown, looking 1

FUTURE OF UNION MILLS.

i Professor Robb, of Trinity, Making
 Full Examination of the Property.
 The Hon. M. S. Chapman, of Man. chester, who bought the site and mills of the old Union Manufacturing compa- ny at Manchester Green, a few weeks ago, is having an expert examination of the property and it's capabilities for the future made by Professor Robb of Trinity college. The professor is to in- vestigate all the business and individu- al possibilities connected with the site and report the result of the examina- tion to eX-Senator Chapman. It will probably be two or three weeks before the report can be made.
 The water power connected with the Union mills is one of the most valuable ferent ways with great advantage Senator Chapman will not decide on the use to which the property Is to be put until after the receipt of Professor Rohb's report The location is an elig- ible one from every point of view. It can be easily connected by spur tracks with the Highland division of the Con solidated road and with the Hartford and Manchester tramway. The site is within quarter of mile of each of these roads.
 The Union Manufacturing company which controlled the property for half century or more. was founded by David Watkinson, of Hartford 1t was incor- porated and was in active operation un til some fifteen years ago In 1854 the large brick mill on the site was erected and operated successfully until the downfall of the company. Since then the mill has been idle. The resump ton of industrial activity under the di- rection of ex-Senator Chapman will be of great advantage to the town.

He is one of four thousand men at the institution, which is nicely located on water front, a few miles from Fortress Monroe and the navy yard, where six thousand men are now employed building warships and monitors.
 In connection with the home is an op- era house, seating two thousand people, in which performance is given once a week. A full band, of twenty-six pieces, gives daily concerts.
 Nearly five hundred papers from all parts of the Union, except Connecticut, are on file in the reading room. Other ltdlulcS Ul lIit tlOII6 are DlllldIu dllu card rooms, large library of several thousand volumes hospital, etc.
 Across from the barracks Is an Indian reservation of eight hundred acres, where live nine hundred good and bad Indians, with a few Africans thrown in for variety" At this Indian colnmuni- ty, which has it's churches, schools and shops, wagons, carriages and bicycles are made, the Indians and squaws get ting ten dollarsa Ia month for half a days work each day, the other half being spent in school.

A FINE PEACH YEAR.
Orchards in the South and North are
 in Excellent Condition.

| Orchards in the South and North ar'
 in Excellent Condition.
 | J. H. Hale, of Glastonbury, the peacf | grower, who has orchards of thousand
 of trees in Connecticut and Georgia
 says that the prospects are that tht | largest and finest crops of peaches ever grown in these states will be produced this year. The Georgia trees are II blossom and are mass of the delicate ly shaded pink and white coloring With every indication that the buds will
 not be blasted by frosts and cold winds from the north, soon after the flrSt oi June shipments will be made to north ern markets, and peaches galore may
 be expected until late in October, the Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey fruit beginning before the Georgia is out of the market and the Connecticut crop coming in early in September.
 MT. Hale is authority for the state ment that Connecticut is now a greater peach-growing state than Delaware. In 1890 there were one hundred thousand peach trees in Connecticut orchards orchards grown for the sale of the pro- duct. Now there are no less than three million peach trees in Connecticut or chards, not including the many trees in private grounds. The fruit from the Connecticut trees, it is asserted, out ranks the southern product in quality It comes later, is bigger, more delicately tinted and of finer flavor. Connoisseurs in peach raising agree to MT. Ha!e's statement that there never was q peach that eol1alled the autumn fruit of the gnarled old peach tree in the rocky or chard of Connecticut farm. IL seemed to gather within itself the juice and fla vors of the long summer season of sun and dew In the past the years income from the Connecticut peach crop has been from twenty to twenty-five million dollars and there has only been one failure, MT. Hale says of the crop in the decade The farms that were aban- doned in Connecticut because the farm CTS could not make a living in raising grain and cattle in competition with the great western ranches are again in demand for peach growing.
 The increase in the number of trees in Connecticut orchards shows that the farmers realize the profit there is in the business and in all parts of the state thousands more trees will be planted this spring and in some places canning factories are to be built to utilize the fruit should there be glut of it in the market If it is not already one of the most profitable and largest products of the state it is destined to be in few years.

 i We have watched the work and growth of the Tuskegee institute from year to year and we feel that it is such a valuable factor in solving the race problem and making higher type of citizenship, that the institution should be put upon a more permanent footing, and the principal, MT Booker T. Wash ington, relieved somewhat from the anxiety and wearing work now neces- sary to raise the money to keep the school going, so that he can devote a larger proportion of his time to the &C., tual work of the institution.
 We, the undersigned, therefore, ask most earnestly for an endowment fund of at least five hundred thousand dol lars for Tuskegee. Even very small amounts will be most gratefully re- ceived $1S9,000 of this amount has all ready been secured, leaving $3l1, 900 to be raised.
