Spring has at hist arrived—at least
from present appearances it is safe to say
so-anti it, is to be hoped that the "othe
vial inildnem ". of the season_ has come to
stay, and that we are done with chilly
`:Northern breezes and squalls of snow. •
,The warm weather of the past few
has had a remarkable effect noon vegeta
tion—the grass has fairly started, and the
,buds upon the trees arc bursting into
leaves._ A. few days more and all traces
-of the severe winter and the backward
spring will be lost.
Reliable advices state that the peach
crop on the Maryland and Delaware Pc.
ninsula will be unprecedented '
this, year
both ks to quality and quantity. In all
parts ;of the poach-growing districts the
most 'flattering prospects exist, and infor
maticfn.from every point is favorable. In
1875 was the largest , crop. knosim ; the
markets wer2_glutted, and a large amount
• rotted under The trees. Arrangements
are now being made to prevent loss and
• kzeli up prices this year. Many. drying
houses have,been erected by : individual
grower!, anfta number of new canning
factories will be pat in operation.
Philadelphia built street cars are now
scat to all parts of the globe. A firm here
are now shipping cars to England, Ger
many, Australia and Mexico.
Professor King. the aeronaut, is now
constructing in this city, two large bid
loons, which are to be used in experi
menting preliminary to. a "voyage ba the
air, across the ocean. '1 he balloons will
each tarry about 144,000 cubic • feet of
gas, and • will be completed about the first
of June, when the experiments will corn

The walking mania atilt continues, and

all the vicissitudes of the seasons, are ex

and that in fa* those who aro affected
with such complaints, aro cured after

Rein% that-sickly-looking consumptives

Prices, while rents Lave tumbled eown,

Them have-been conflicting opinfons as
to whether any eples of pleirth-piteumo

_question of the
highest importance to faimers, and cat

contagious and fatal disease has always
occasioned great loss. It is now -pretty
well established that there is no occasion
for anxiety, and the Pennsylvania College
of Veterinary Surgeons have- adopted a
resolution-_- based upon an exhaustive re
port ,of a committee of veterinary stir.:
genus appointed to ascertain whether
there is or is not any occasion for the
present pleuro-pneumorria scare that
they have some to the'unanimous conelu.,
sion that contagious plenro-pneumenia
does. not exist in this State ,• and inlheii
opinion hasty legislation is uncalled for
and that from all information that their
investigations have revealed they find
that homed Cattle. are in a healthier con
dition than they have been for many
years, and kindly ask the Legislature, be- .
foretptissing the bill before them relating'
to pleuro-pneumonia, that they will son
