i j FAILURE OP AN EXPERIIT1ENT.
i The scheme to transport peaches in
large quantity from this country to
Europe seems to have proven a i fail
ure, They rotted before they reached
Liverpool, The ice was ail used up
in three days after the steamer sailed.
The fruit kept for four days" more,
but were utterly worthless when- the
vessel arrived at Liverpool. It is
thought that peaches cannot be de
livered over there in good condition,
profitably, for an increase of the sup
ply of ieo would too greatly advance
the expense of shipment.

savs: ".North and South, .bast and
West, on the Atlantic and on the

Opposition are united in thought and
purpose upon the broad principle of
reform in the Government; and. they
mean to achieve it in spite of all the
obstacles that may be interposed, or
the treachery which may beset their
path. They may differ as to the
methods of reaching this goal, but
