THE investigation by Attorney
General Ward has revealed evil
dence of fraud in New Castle county
Levy Court management, which is
deemed sufficient to warrant the
arrest of John Lynn, its President,
and a former member of the court.
There has been general belief that
certain Democrats and Republicans
# that body had formed a combine
i,'sss.iP0se Of either covering
rrner malfeasance of members
Or I, lucting a systematic robbery
of New Castle county. This be-
lief seems to have been well founded;
as it is certain that Attorney-Gen-
eral Ward would not have caused
arrests to have been made, unless
he had evidence to warrant such
action. The affairs of Wilmington
city and New Castle county appear
to be in an unsavory condition
under the management of the high
moral influence of that coterie of
politicians headed by Mr.. dupont
and friends. Kent and Sussex are
getting along fairly we'll under
Union Republican management,
and are getting their legacy of debt
bequeathed by long rule of the
Democratic party, into better shape
each year for final payment, and
have no scandals to investigate.

THERE is a disposition among
farmers to plant fruits and Der
ries in this vicinity and should this
branch Of farming become general,
it would be the cause of larger re-
turns from the culture of small
fruits. AS it now is, there is not
sufficient quantity of berries grown
about Milford to induce buyers to
locate here. Two carloads per day
is the limit now of berries, and this
onlyat highest ofthe season. Could
ten cars be put on the market here
daily, buyers would have a chance
to load, and competition would
cause the market to hold up. Then
again, the berry growers about Mil
ford have heretofore planted only
mid-season berries, when they
should have early late and medium
ripening varieties. If each farmer
would plant even one acre with
berries, and properly cultivate and
market them, they would find it a
source Of profit.
