Baltimore hundred peach growers are
jubilant over tlioir proactive croj>s. They
say if the weather will only be on its good
behavior for a week longer they are sure of
a half crop, which, taking as a general aver
age for the Peuipsula, will pay much better
than a frill crop. As to apple«, well, they
think the supply will be enormous. Straw

In its columns, the news of tho world is

history of each day's events will be faith
fully recorded and presented to the public
through the Enquirer, free From distortion
or prejudice.
The province of a newspaper is to record

dl tlie Enquirer has succeeded in this
duty,we feel a jiardonable |>ri«lo in referring

its ability ami thoroughness in jireseiitlng

The immediate future lias in store mutter«
of grave Interest to all, and the general
welfare will largely depend upon the
intiuem-es of those who are fully conversant
with the facte occuriug and to occur. The
jxdicy of the government hut partially
develojjed by the New Administration, was
