Special Correspondence to the TIMES.

CHEswoLD, Aug. 13:-Friday of last
week and to-day (Monday) were the
rush days on our railroad siding.
Peaches have frmed in price and to-
day the finest peaches brought $1.62 |
per basket in our market and ran as
low as 25 cents for undesirable stock. |
Growers in many instances are picking
their fruit too green and thereby in.
jure the market. Tomatoes were a
surprise here to day as regards guam
tity nearly loading three cars, and
great disappointment to growers as to
price, 10 cents per ) basket right
through. Our Gamer, Mr.. Frank
Preston is not yet ready to start up
for the season. About ten cars full of
peaches; three of tomatoes and two of
cnntaloupes, apples etc., makes a rec
| ord day for this season.
The reports of losses of stock by the
deadly anthrax in the vicinity of Leip-
sic is looked upon in serious light by
farmers in this community, and they
wonder why our State Veterinary
Board don't circulate instructions or
3some formula that would prevent its
spread to other localities.

WELLINGTON, Aug. 14:-Miss Anna

of bright's disease, aged 60 years. Miss
Hurtt had lived here all her life and
was we'll known and much beloved by |
everyone for her many deeds of kind
ness and unseIfishness. She had been
in poor health for about two years, but
the disease took turn for the worse |
last Friday and since that time she has |
been a great sufferer. She was con-
fined to her bed about three weeks be- |
fore she died, being unconscious most
of the time. Miss Fanny HURT was
constantly with her; they had lived to-
gether all their lives and were devoted
to one another. Three brothers, Mr..
J. Henry HURT, formerly proprietor
of the "Voshell House" of Chester
town, but now of Baltimore, Mr.. G.

HURT of Delmar, Delaware, and two
sisters, Mrs. E. W. Spear of Centre
Vile, and Miss Fannie HURT with
whom she resided, surviving her.
The peach market here this week
has been very brisk. Owing to the in
feriority of the fruit the prices have
been very low. The heavy rains caused
the fruit to speck. The last few days
has shown decided improvement and
the buyers predict better prices.
