At Thursday's sessiou of United States Court District Attorney Patter son presented the resolution passed at a meeting of the bar of the Dist rict of Delaware on January 19th, in relation to the death of Judge Bradford, amt spoke at some length of his personal re lations with the deceased Irom boy hood. He moved that as a tribute to his memory, ami in appreciation to his superior qualities as a .fudge, a minute he made of the proc ediugs, and the resolutions be entered upon the records of the Court. The motion was seconded by Judge Cummins of the Municipal Court, who said that he fully endorsed all that had been said by the members of the bar in relation to the deceased udge. J udge Wales said : " It is proper that this court, in w hich Judge Bradford lor so many years dis charged his judicial duPes, should place on its records some evidence of the es teem in which he was held both as a man and as a judge. The brief but elo quent eulogy of my late predecessor, which has just been ottered, does no more than jusiiceto hinatlmirable quali ties. His character required to he well be appreciated. He never cultivated the art of popularity either iu public or private, and ouly those who were intimately acquainted with nearly so, could understand the simplicity, the directness and the uni form honesty of the man. most transparent character I ever knew. He was a conscientious, cautious, just ami impartial Judge—a sincere ami con stant friend. It is m t necessary that I should now say more. In this room very recent occasion,at a numerously attended meeting of the bar, his public career ami personal qualities received their just share of praise. I concur in all that has been said by the district at torney, ami in compliance with his mo tion, direct that the proceedings and therein mentioned be en tered upon t lie r» cords of this court. As further mark of respect to the memory of Judge Bradford, it is ordered that this court he now adjourned." The crier then adjourned the court until 10 o'clock to-day. known t him, He w th** Geo. W.

News from the various peach dis tricts down the Peninsula report the peach crop safe, and that the buds were injured by Wednesday's storm. Considerable anxiety was felt by the growers, however, for .fear the mercury would descend down to freezing point, which case the result would have been disastrous. As it was the south west wind soon dried out the saturated bude. and left them sale. Those inter csted in the peach crop may still live in hopes of a good crop, but there is still plenty of time for the crop to be injured, although it is to be hope i that there i be no more freezing weather. 1 The First of me Neason.

PoMon In the blood will nearly always show itself in the spring. If it does not come in the shape of blotches, pimples, erup tions, etc., it causes a dull and heavy feeling, indisposition to exert-on, loss of appetite, and a general letting down of the system.

Blaine'* Great-II eartedne**. New York, April 10.—Within two or three days word has come from va rious parts of the South of a movement among Southern Democrats to aid in securing Blaine delegates from that .sec tion to the National Convention. Four years ago Blaine had 140 delegates from the Southern States, in spite of the offi cial patronage opposed to him. A prominent Southern politician now here to-day explained the situation as follows : The Southern Democrats have lost all hope of electing a Democratic Presi dent this Fall. Six months ago the outlook was roseate; to-day it is gloomy, hence we are interested in who is to be the Republican nominee. Our people have a friendly feeling for Blaine, for several reasons, first of which is his great-hearted ness. His impulses are goml and would warm him toward the South. We have seen him fly in the face of his party in Congress to prevent them from burdening us with odious laws, even while he was waving the en sanguined shirt for political effect. Then, our young people liked his policy in reference to the Central American republics. I would not be surprised if Blaine has as many Southern delegates as Arthur." Danger in Koch ana Rye Candy. The attention of children and youug people is directed to the following item taken from the Smyrna Times, in ref erence to an article supposed to be a dangerous thing to handle, and if true should be treated with great care.

It purports to be rock candy and rye whisky, but a chemist who analyzed it nays that it contains fusil oil iustead of the latter compound because cheap er, and the same authority says that two pounds of this oaudy contains enough poison if taken at one time to kill a person. At any rate there is no need of running a risk in eating it when there are so many o her good can dies in the market. Accident* Yesterday.
