From Aberdeen.

ABERDEEN, Oct 9-The Hartford county
packing season is at an end, this years
being the latest one for many seasons
The tomato yield was far below the
average, and consequently the market
prices remain firm at 81 for three pound
and TIN cents for two pound standard
There is a great demand at present for
corn which is interesting for our nuner.
GUS we'll established packers. This season
Mr.. Morgan Mitchell put over 10000
cases.. ]. S. Mitchell and Brother packed
"a, 564 cases of shoe peg and John M.
Michael, 49, 900 cases of corn. In spite
of the demand, these packers are holding
the most of their goods.
Mrs. A. B Fletcher was painfully in.
iured last Wednesday evening when being
driven home from Mrs. A. F. Browns, Of
Swan Creek, where she had been visiting.
Mr. A. Freeborn Brown, Jr., was accom-
panying Mrs. Fletcher. They were run
into by Mr.. Harry S. Webb's mill wagon.
Both occupants were thrown over the
dashboard and Mrs. Fletcher was badly
bruised about the shoulders and arms.
She is still confined to her bed. Mr..
Brown has been forced to use cane
having been severely hurt about his left
ankle. His buggy, and harness were con-
siderable damaged. On the same night,
which was a dark and stormy one and
probably the cause of these mishaps, Mr..
James H. Harkins was run into by a
colored man near Grove Church and
thrown from his buggy. Though con-
siderably bruised, his injuries are not OF a
serious nature.
We regret to note the untiruely death
of Mr.. Edward H. Tarring, of Chester,
Pa, which occurred from asphyxiation
either on Saturday or Sunday last at his
home. AS four gas jets were turned, the
supposition is that Mr.. Earring conn.,
mitted suicide. He was forty-one years
old and leaves widow and two small
children. tits thought that Mr.. Tarring' 8
i'll health caused him to commit the deed.
The deceased is brother of Mr.. Henry
Earring, of this town, and for a number
of years has been an efficient conductor
OH the Pennsylvania railroad. The re-
mains will brought here tomorrow for
burial in Grove Cemetery. He Yves a
