For tlie Gazette.
Mil. Editoii:—I see in yesterday's
Philadelphia Timen, a long communica
tion, hailing from Middletown, on the
I>eaeh crop this year, saying there would
he three and a half millions of baskets,
shipped
the Delaware railroad.
N o vv
Middletown is a growing place, and I see
no good reason, if she desires it, she
should have the champion liar on the
jM-aeh business. The city people
know hut little of the country, know this
miicli, that both in Philadelphia and New
York and other large cities, for the past
few days they have, had to keep fires in
their houses for comfort, and they know
they never see |kmc)i«*s in thei
the winter time, that peaches do not grow
ly in spring and summer; and that
when the people have to keep fires in their
houses, it is not wann spring
weather, therefore,
child in the city, knows it is too cold for
any tender fruit such as peaches. There
fore, this coiTcs]xmdcnt pretending to hail
from Middletow n, must have some private
motives for lieing. There will be a light
crop of peaches, or there may l»e little or
none, if such weather continues as on the
the date ofthat corresiKUident's letter, the
14th.
ho
arkets in
• summer
even anv sensible
All men of common sense, w ho
live iu peach districts know that after
peach tree arrives at tlie age of 15 years
it is not profitable to let it remain longer,
it may live and bear a few peaclies up to
20 years. All the iirst orchards planted
along tin* line of the Delaware railroad,
are either cut down, prilled out, or* are
bead or dying, and for the last five years
very tew-peach trees have been planted.
Therefore, any man of common
knows witli tin* most favorable w cut her
and go* ul luck, their could not be much if
any. even one half i
then tin* crop shipi>ed hy railroad
very little over four inillh
I hold tiiat any mau w I
papers pretending to
elisc
y as 1875, and
was
s of baskets.
w rites to news
give information,
should as far as in Ids power, give truth
ful in format Urn, and this corresixmdent
of the 77
«knew lie was being when lie
wrote that communication about peaches,
lie Styled me "war Imre«* Sain and lugged
in politic*," and further said 1 wasoppos
ing Hu* railroad.
Now if this slink is under pay of tlie
railroad, I would advise all tin* honorable
officers of the railroad to cutthut fellow 's
acquaintance as s«kjii as jK>ssihle. My
««•lf and other men who have planted
peach trees, have ma«le a great business
for the railroad, and when our production
'reased D> such un extent that {»caches
fell iu tin* markets to one-fourth or one fifth
of what we got in the first years of the
business,anathe railroads kept the freight
up to tin* same or n«*arly so then. Ought
we, tlie men who built tlds great business
lip be complained of, if we hehl meetings
and sent committees of good honest truth
telling men, to tin* officers of the railroad
to state the. hardships w«* lain »red under,
and ask tlie said railroad officers to reduce
the freight ? Mr. Hinckley purades it in
the pa|H*rs once and awhile, that he has
made great reductions which tlie ]K*ach
growers know In* over estimates, and 1
will explain one of his prints. We, tlie
growers, and tin* company in bargaining
arranged for 1G,000 jHmnds to Ik* a car
load of|M*ai'hes. Ami w ithout w eighing a
basket of peaches, Mr. Hinckley assumed
40 pounds to he the w eight of a basket of
peaches and would not let us put in but
40<) baskets for 1 |>ersonally called cm him
the matter, and that only filled one
end of tlie ear out to tlie door, and tlie
other end nearly out, none at all in the
middle. The next year wer brought the
matter Indore tin* peach convention and £
baskets of |»each«'s only weighed 29 ami
30 pounds, therefore we were entitled to
have put ill the car 533 baskcLs, but really
the care only hold 528 baskets, 108 in
each of the four •divisions making 432
baskets and 00 baskets in the middle,
making 528 baskets to the ear, and mak
ing 10,000 pounds; and this excess of i28
baskets, Mr. Hinckley calls a reduction in
freiglit, when it was only 10,000 and in
stead of iris assuming that it lowered tlie
freigiit, in* ought to have paid every grow
er for tlie freight on 128 baskets to each
ear, which it would have taken to have
brought tin» 400 baskets to tlie bargain,
10,000 iKHinds.
The laws of our State, and law makers,
should not allow any set of men to extort
on another set ol' men without redress,
ami no mendier of tlie Legislature during
anbernhip in the Leyinlature , should
hr allowed to receive and travel on a free
railroad pana. It is babyish audpiikeish
to call me an enemy of the railroad, 1 m*
caiise 1 ask of them fair freight» according
to the worth of the article and times.—
( )nc
his
of the principal directors of tin*
Delaware railroad, Mr. Joseph Bringhurst
knows I was instrumental in helping to
get tin* Législature to pass an act giving
to the Delaware railroad at a time when
it had stuck fast, the remainder of the old
bonus $120,000, and if any person w ill
tak«? tin* trouble to ask Mr. Horner, tin*
Treasurer of tlie P., W. «& B. R. R., if 1
did not give such information to him that
prevented the destruction of tin* big terry
Goat Manyland , at Havre de Grace, in
April 1801. .Still this spaniel that wrote
that communication to the Times, would
try to have people believe 1 was an enemy
ot the railroad,nut that I had not the power
to help myself, hut 1 will inform that
railroad liekspittal that 1 have a written
otter from tin* officers of tlie
Brook Railroad, between Philadelphia
ami New York, to carry ear loads of
l>ea«*h<*s from Noble stn*«*t wharf Phila
delphia to Jersey City for thirty dtriiars
per ear loa«l and return tlie empty fiuskets
free; ami all the peach growers iu this part
of' the country are w ithin hailing distance
to navigable water, and for three or four
cents per basket, peaches can be freighted
to Noble street wharf. Therefore Mr.
Lickspittle, correspond«»nt of the Time»,
tell y«»ur railroad masters, that they have
not yet plugge<l up the <>l«i "war lu>rs<*
Ham," as you call him, and 1 tell yourrail
i<»a«l mastere I wish no difficulty with
them. 1 have always been a friend and
pat n mixer of the raiiroad, hut i want r«*
duc«*il freights from the cause I stat«*, the
low prices i>eaehes sell for when then* is

HECE1V1N6 TIIE BISHOPS.
A JIOSTOF PEOPLE UAZK
and SHAKE THEM 11 V THE HAND.
The Sunday school room of Grace M.
K. Church was crowded last evening, on
the occasion of the reception tendered by
the ladies of the Church to the Methodist
Episcopal Bishops. All the Bishops
present excepting Bishop Ames.
t Bev. W. .1. Stevenson, pastor of Grace
Church, presided ov«*r the meeting, which
was opened with prayer hy Rev. J. J,.
Caldwell. Mr. Stevenson then announced
the object of the gathering, stating that it
.. vasion of social enjoyment, orig
inated for Lhepurpose of extending a air
dial publie welcome to the Bisho]>8 of the
M. E. Church. He then introduced Bisli
Siiiijwon to the meeting.
Bishop Simpson sjnike for about half
an hour, taking, in his remarks, a general
view of the progress and extent of the M.
E. Church. He referred to its home
growth ami its foreign extension which
iiad grown to such dimensions
thodisni was now known in every quarter
ol the globe. This rapid progress had
all 1 leeti achieved during the past hun
dred years, and the speaker felt his heart
glow with thanks to God, as he thought
of the glorious possibilities of the Church
during the next century. He would like
tobe iNM-mitted to return to earth at the
expiration of
to witness the progre*
made in that time,
an event he could return to Heaven hap
pier than ever, shouting praises and glo
ry to God for his mighty works.
Referring to the meeting of the Bishops
lie said it was not for the benefit of the
Wilmington churches that they had as
sembled, but to go over the whole vast
vast field of labor compassed by the M.
E. church. They had to look beyond
the seas, and attend to the interests of
missions and conférences, in India, China
•Japan and other places in Eastern Europe
as well as in other parts of tin* continent.
There also were children of the church
assembled, whose eyes glowed witli won
derment and whose hearts swelled with
joy when they were told, of the great hotly
of the Methodist church on the other side
< if the world of Which they were a living
and component part. It was these people
tlm'. claimed the anxious ami prayerful
attention of the Bishops, in their general
review of the whole church work.
Di conclusion Bishop Sinqison request
ed the jieople to be present at the Opera
House on Sunday evening, when Bishop
Wylie would tell them of the glorious
mission work in China and Japan, Bish
op Andrews would sjieak of Methodism
in Western Europe, and Bishop Merrill
relate his mission work in the adjoining
country of Mexico.
Then, speaking of his colleagues, he
regretted that their modesty impelled
them to screen themselves upon the side
seats of the room, instead of standing up
to Ik* looked at. For his part, he seldom
declined when called upon to face
dicnee and give them an opportunity of
looking well at him, believing that "a
thing of beauty is a joy forever." He
paternally alluded to himself and Bishop
Scott being regarded as the senior Bishops
not that they w'erc so much older than
the rest, hut oil account of their seniority
in the Episcopacy. II»? could sav though
that they were proud of their children,
w ho were bravely shouldering the great
work of the church w hich was thrust upon
them, and fortifying the Kingdom of God
in every part of the earth. He then re
quested the earnest prayers of all for the
safety of Bishop Bowman, who in a few
days will flail for Eurojie, for the purpose
of visiting a number of Eastern missions
and Conferences.
At the close of the address, which was
listened to with breathless attention and
eager interest by the audience, Rev. Mr.
Stevenson announced that the audience
could come forward and personally greet
the Bishops. The announcement was
hailed witli pleasure, ami nearly all i»er
sons in the room took occasion to avail
themselves of this rare opportunity. The
old, the young and the middle-aged press
ed forward, and even little children,
scarcely able to walk, were taken up to
receive the Episcopal blessing from the
exalted followers of Him who said,
".Sutler little children to come unto me."
For over an hour this friendly ovation
continued until all present had fully satis
tied themselves hy looking upon the
comely forms and grasping the welc<
ing hands of the great heads of the
church.
During the reception vocal and iustru
mental music was furnished by the ladies
of Grace Church choir. The pulpit stand
in honor of the occasion, was decked with
beautiful flowers, while a large silk Hag
adorned the wall in the rear.

M. E. pulpits as follows :

The proceedings following those pub
lished in yesterday's late edition are as
fellows :
Court re-assembled at J o'clock.
Argument was continued betöre the
Court on an issue for a trial in tlie will
: of Mr. Dougherty.
Mr. Joshua Maris, counsel for Martha
Brooks, whose case. Brooks vs. Meln
tire, was tried on Thursday and a ver
dict rendered agaiiLst her interests, made
a motion for a new trial and a rule was
granted returnable to-morrow.
The reasons assigned are iirst—that the
plaintiff Jiaa brought Iüh »mit in tin, name

Second. That the evidence in tin; cl
disclose that the note had been made and
delivered to the plaintiff and the signa
ture of the defendant obtained at a dif
ferent time and place and without any
valid consideration.
Third. That the verdict w as against the
law and the evidence.
Fourth. The note

fifth. The note had been negotiated
and placed in the hands of the payee,
who is the holder thereof, before the
name of Martha Brooks had been ob
tained thereto.
The Karsner farm of which so much
was said at. the last term of Court, and
wluch is well known as one of the finest
and most valuable fai
at last, in the hands of
ms in the State, is
.. --an owner, and for
the present out of Court. This piece of
land is situated in St. George's Hundred,
and is rendered valuable because of the
extensive deposit* of marl within its
border«. It having been sold at some
time previous to tlie sitting of tlie No
vember Court hy the Sheri if, tlie sale
came into that Court and was set aside.
It was again sold tnis spring and the
purchase continued, and Zadock Poole,
the purchaser was granted a writ of
possession.
In the case of Zadock Poole vs. Wil
son E. Vandegrift, S. B. Cooper, Esq.,
set forth that Zidock Poole had taken
out a fieri facia» at the lust term of Court,
and, instead of following it up with a
venditioni exiwmu had at the present, term
ot Court taken out an alia » Jifa, ami made
a second levy. The Court ruled that the
two writs could not rim together in the
same judgment, and the tirst levy must
lie disposed of before the second could
be made.
This finished up the business of the
day and the Court, after remaining in
quiet eeHsion, adjourned until 1) o'clock
to-morrow morning.
The decision in the will case was de
ferred.

Tlie globes on the lamp posts through

lhat should the police he supplied with
burners they could put them on and save
this expense.

and the wheels of one of the cars crush
ed the flesh of both of his lower limbs.
He was brought to his home in this city,
and Dr. Kane summoned, who dressed
the wounds. Although the wounds are
very painful there is no danger of a fatal
termination.

Miss Cuksfioxf, a Love Story, hy M.„.
1'ranees Hodgson Burnett, author of
' fuat Hass o Lowrie's," "Kathleen,"
rh»;o, and "Prettv Polly Pembertou,"
is just published by T. B. Peterson &
brothers, Philadelphia, and it is a pl«;as
ure to once more inhale the fragranc«* «»f
a simple, honest, healthy aud clearly
told Jove romance. "Miss Crespiguy,"
by Mrs. Hurimtt. is a perfect, charming,
ami eutertaining love story. The char
acters are all natural and consistent, and
act just as we should suppose sensible,
cultivated people of peculiar experience
would act. In this respect it possesses an
unusual charm. The reader is interested
without being able to tel! why, for the
interest is always kept up, ami increases
with every chapter ; yet, for all its sim
plicity and HmoothnefN, there is not so
much as the suggestion of dullness. The
contrasts are strong without being forc
ed, and the situations are dramatic witli
a».v apparent rehearsal therefor.
"Miss Crespigny" is one of the books
that should be bought and read by all
that love goo«l books, and another gi
point iu its favor, is that iu size, idiape
ami typo, it is very convenient reading.
