This morning at o'clock a salute fired, the Hag at division headquarters was lowered and Camp Ale jiuder L. Hawkins formally j.ansod out of existence, although pleasant recollections of il will linger long ill the minds of those who were part of it full week. It has been a remarkable week.

The division is larger by several lin.u- finnd than it was formerly, most of the equipment is new. while the heal and dust were terrible. Notwithstanding the unusual heat die entire absence of rain ajid tiie eontinnons clouds of dust has not been a single in- oamp and not a serious accident, Chief Surgeon Weaver, who is an o'd campaigner, says lie never before saw such continuously hoi wearher during an encampment, and never before saw mioh a healthy camp as ihis. Tliis it' terly refutes the silly stntenient made by the Harris-burg "Patriot." whic-'i has beeu uncharitable eiiongli to say "Mt. seems to have boi-n us severe ou the health of Ilie soldier frays as the campaign in Cuba." Tin- heat and dust were severe, as they would have been elsewhere, but tlie health of the soldiers was far better fuaii it might have been at some places.

The and water of Mt. Orotna are excellent. The inspections of the troops were completed ill tlie order named in Fr: day's paper. After tlie lasi inspection an interesting drill by ilie hosjiiiai corps was given, tlie litter drill being, exceedingly fine, as was also tlie oxin- bition of first aid to the w.nmded. dressing nf wounds of abdomen and ohest and fractured thighs.

McGOWAN, Druggist, Southwest Corner Seventh and Cumberland Streets. Delaware Fruit Growers Ship- i ping Many Baskets. BUT THE PRICES BO NOT FALL The Fruit Is or very Good Quality This Four Million Bas kets Will be shipped Out ol Dela ware-All Is Bustle and Hurry- Bulk of Crop Goes to Philadelphia. Bridgeville, is the large peach growing district. A despatch from that place says: Delaware fruit growers are harvesting their peach crop.the magnitude of which has never before been realized, and throughout southern Delaware, the peach growing belt, all is bustle and excitement.

This usually quiet town has beeu transformed into a city within a few days, and its streets roar with the thunder of traffic from dawn until dusk. Citizens have turned their homes into boarding houses and restaurants to accommodate the great crowds from town and city which pour into this place with every incoming train. Tramps there are by the hundred, and at night the flames from their camp- flres iUumlnVte the surrounding country for miles. Humanity of all classes is congregated here, and the streets are overrun with surging throngs throughout, the day. At the depot: the scene is one of tlie greatest activity.

Railroad avenue.for a distance of one mile, is with vehicles of every description, rangiug from the massive double-deckers to th? unpretentious buckboard. Ou big days there are sometimes double rows of loaded wagons extending one half mile in the country. Swift-footed uiessen ger boys dealing out telegrams to the buyers, who, with their clerks, hurry among the mass of vehicles, the shouts of the teamsters and the incessant sawing and hammering from the direction of the cars add to the excitement. At. the begiuing of the season the yield from this peninsula was estimated ait 4,000.000 baskets, but it is now plainly evident that the yield will be much larger.

From this point alone 300,000 baskets will be shipped, making it the largest shipping station in the United Slates. The enormous yield has led to fl. great deal of speculation to the sue cessftilness of the crop. Philadelphia commission men are of the opinion that, notwithstanding the big crop, good prices will prevail throughout thyseason. birt rtiauy growers are selling their orchards to commission agents at from twenty to thirty cents basket.

As a faint gray in the East heralds lipproacliiug dawn, the highways leading to this town suddenly become alive Bickers bound for the orchards, while tlie dark woods resound with the plaintive songs of the negroes. The early morning trains must be met. and the work necessarily begins at an early hour. The pickers are niaiuly tramps and negroes, and the latter are a large number of women and children. They are generally paid by tbe hour, niid'are enabled to earn from to $1.30 a day.

The largest, growers employ from twenty to thirty pickers, besides a number of women and girls, who pack the peaches for shipment. Gazing at the long line of fruit cars along the switch, with various lined flags floating from the roofs a stranger would naturally be puzzled as to their use. This is done by buyers to distinguish the cars, and when a load is purchased the buyer directs the farmer to a car- tain flag. Recently a buyer purchased a load of fruit from an old farmer, and directed him to the American flag. "Dang me if I know which it are.

mister!" the old fellow ejaculated, much fo the buyer's surprise. "What color is it. anyhow?" Owing to the great number of buyers congregated here, competition is und' growers -are enabled to display their auctioneering proclivities. When -a load of fruit draws up at the station it is immediately surrounded by a number of buyers. Standing on top of his load, with whip for a mallet, tlie.

fanner bids off his load to the highest bidder. Tlie bidding is spirited when the fruit is unusually fine. Owing to tfie fact that only large and fancy varieties are now grown by growers of Southern Delaware, it is believed that enormous profits will he realized. It is probable that the bulk of this season's crop will go to Philadelphia, and Jersy City. select one Day Trip to Reading.
