Mr.. Elias N. Moore, of near Odessa,
left at our Office on Thursday, a sample
bunch of very fine asparagus. The bunch
contained ten mammoth stocks which
weighed just three pounds and two ounces
and was greatly admired by all who saw
it. Mr.. Moore gives his personal atten-
ton to the culture and care of this most
profitable crop, and always receives the
best prices tor his asparagus, which is of
the finest quality.
Delaware Strawberries are now in the
local market. For weeks those from
Southern states have been enjo, ed, ex-
cellent of their kind, but the loyal Del
awarean think nothing can equal the
home product. The same opinion is en-
tertained Of the Delaware peach. Our
Strawberries have quite as good reputa-
ton in cities to the north Of us as Phila-
delphia New York, for instance, relies
strongly on Delaware and Maryland fruit,
and is rarely disappointed. The straw
berry is dainty and tender product. 1t
will not bear as rough handling as some
others and is best enjoyed when it is fresh.

The horse of Miss Marie Lockwood be-
came frightened while standing on North
Broad street about $50 O'Clock Wednes-
day morning, and after ruifning down
the street as far as Main, colided with
the rear wheels of the team Of Mr.. Lee
Sparks, which was standing in front of
Mr.. j. B. Messick's store. The frightened
animal then made a dash for the drive
way leading to the Middletown Hotel
stables where it collided with the team OF
Mr.. James Roe. In the carriage with
Mr.. Roe was his little niece, and they
we're both thrown heavily to the ground
Dnt fortunately escaped with only few
scratches. The horse was finally caught
1n Green street, when it was found the
animal had been badly injured. At the
ime the horse made its wild flight
Miss Lockwood was not in the vehicle,
out was calling on friend and left her
cam standing in the street. Much sym
'athy was expressed for the little tot who
vas thrown out of the carriage, and its
scape from serious injury was indeed
miracle.
