sightedness. l.. c. Bartolette, who
stood second at the preliminary ex-
, animation, will have the next
chance for the place.
James w. and Henry S. Anthony
each had crates of Strawberries in
market yesterday. They sold at
10 cents for pint boxes. Several
other persons also had berries in
market but in smaller quantities.
They commence small and in the
absence of rain will soon not be
worth marketing. The outlook for
the crop is not flattering.
The commissioners appointed by
act of the Legislature to estimate
the damages on Strengthening and
extending Commerce Street to the
road fronting Anthony's peach or
chard, hawke fixed the sum at $3.50.
1t has yet to be acted on by the
Kent County Levy Court. The
commissioners were David S. Reese
Charles H. Register and Peter E.
Lober John H. Hoffecker is the
surveyor.
On Friday evening, last, Harry
T. Ashcraft had an upset of his
carriage containing himself and a
young lady that fortunately result
ed in only a few bruises. He had
just helped the young lady in the
carriage and got seated himself
when the horse turned on a short
lock throwing the carriage over as
above stated, the animal breaking
loose and running away with the
shafts
In addition to his painting and
paper hanging, Joseph E. Carter
has rented room under the Town |
Hall for the purpose of doing all |
kinds of upholstering, a business to
which he served regular appren-
ticeship. But, in addition to this,
he procured the services of a COM
petent workman from the city ac-
quainted with the business in all
its branches, and we learn has been
having a good run in recovering
chairs, sofas, etc.

FROM SMYRNA TO BOSTON
The project of cleaning out the
creek to Smyrna Landing as the
proposed terminus of the Philadel-
phia & Smyrna transportation
Company which we named in The
Times two weeks since, has moved
along quietly so far as subscrip-
tions from persons owning proper
ty at the place, who would be ben
efitted are concerned, but the
Transportation Company have de-
cided to issue new stock, which no
doubt will be readily taken and
thus insure the success of the en-
terprise. This being done, daily
line will be established, and the
company purpose delivering ber-
ries and peaches in the markets of
New York and Boston more speed
lily and at less expense than by any
other route. II
The prospect at the beginning of
June of the wheat crop is very diff
ferent this year from last. 1t is
heading out nearly foot shorter
than last year because of the MAY
drought, but the worst intelligence
is the appearance of the Hessian
fly, which is quietly doing its work,
so quietly, that many perhaps the
most of farmers have not discover
ed its existence. William Stones,
near Kenton, tells us that in his
neighborhood the most of the fields
have a yellow appearance the re-
suit he thinks of the ravages of the
fly, which will be more apparent as
harvest approaches. George N.
HAZEL, of Cecilton, Md, tells us
that there is like complaint in that
section, with the additional appear
ance of a worm in large numbers ::
which if not the army worm, is
something very much like it, that :
is also causing some uneasiness. .
