acknowledge from w. S. Smith of
West Smyrna, the gift of basket
of very nice eating apples.
The steamer ]. E. Tygert, on
and after Monday, August 9th,
will make daily trips from Roth
wells Landing to Philadelphia.
If the raspberry and blackberry
crops were as good in prices as
they are in production, the grow
ers would have a god thing of it
this year.
Clayton Lodge of Good Templars
gave a banquet in their hall on
Friday evening. A goodly number
of the members of Smyrna Lodge
were present.
1t will be gratifying news to the
boys to learn that there are very
favorable indications for large
crops of their favorite nuts this
Fall, chestnuts, hickorynuts and
walnuts.
The Smyrna depot is receiving a
new coat of paint. The dwelling
of Jesse Hyatt on Commerce street
has been greatly improved by new
painting as have also the stores of
Mrs Richards and Mr.. Palmer, on
Market street.
Hardcastle & Jones are putting
their evaporation in order at Clay
ton with the expectation of using
it some during the peach season
Several new evaporators are being
put up in Kent county, Md, where
the bulk of the crop this year will
be grown.
The cool wave that tempered the
heated air for the past three days
was gratefully received by man
and beast. but hardly so good for
the growing corn as the hot wealth
er of the previous week. Corn has
made a rapid advancement since
the coming of July.
The car that for some years has
run between Smyrna and Clayton
has for some time ben inadequate
to the travel, and last week new
and much better coach and bag
gage car was substituted for it.
The new car has a dozen more sit
tings than the old one.

Mrs. M. H. Carter, of this town,
on Saturday received a letter from
relatives in England that was a
portion of the mail that went to
the bottom of the Atlantic with
the Inflated steamer Oregon, off
Fire Island, March 14th. The let
ter was under water nearly four
months and perfectly legible.
There seems to be quite a de-
mand for peach baskets notwith-
stsnding the partial failure over so
large a portion of the county. The
stock Of H. r. Mustard & Co. had
been so exhausted that a team
which drove to the factory on Sat
urday morning had to wait until
the afternoon to get the full guam
tity desired.
The attractions at Lake Como
for sailing and rowing was further
enhanced on Monday evening by
the attendance of the Smyrna Cor
net Band The evening was de-
lightfully cool and the dozen or
more boats as they sped through
the water were attractive objects
Of interest to the spectators who
watched them from the shore The
band was taken aboard of the
Mary A. Walker, by Capt. Walker
for moonlight ride, and with
their flaming lights made quite a
pretty moving spectacle as they
slowly floated up the lake, ever
and anon giving some music which
reached the shore in softened ca
dences; on the principle that dis
tance lends enchantment, &c.
