We recently made brief tour through parts Of


the neghburing State of Delaware, and were very


agreeably surprised at the manifest improv vem ent


in disappearance of many portions of our route


over what was the case, when we passed over the


same ground ten years ago. No doubt many Of
our readers have marked the rapid and very great


improvement in New Castle county-but it Is more
in reference to Kent and Sussex that we now have
TO speak. The use Of the lime as a manure is what


has mostly effected the beneficial change in the ag-
Eicutural appearance Of those counties Immense
quantities of this fertilizer imported from New


York and Pennsylvania, as well as burnt in the
State. From Delaware City to CanIwell's Bridge,
and south through the Levels the whole country is
in high state of productveness. In the vicinity
OF Symrna, and back Of il for many miles, reach
ing into the forests along the road towards Dover
and Leipsic, fine fields of clover and heavy corn
have taken the place Of stunted wild grass, and
corn producing little else than mere nubbins Around
Leipsic, on Raymond's and Little creeks the same
change has been effected, as we'll as around Dover
and Camden. Occasionally is seen green spot rs-
ing towards Milford, Milton, or Lewistown. But
as yet the spirit Of improvement has not extended
as greatly as II onght, and is needed into Sussex.
But IN Kent it is every where manifested The
crop oil wheat at the late harvest throughout the
State, was large and OF good quality, and perhaps
it never yielded so abundant crop of corn as the
present The value of land hiss risen IN Kent and
Newcastle very considerably. and we were rather
surprised to hear of farmers selling tracts at so dol
lars per acre and upwards that we know could have
been bought some years ago for ten. We missed
from many places forests Of oak and hickory and
found corn in their place, We are inclined to
think such changes will not only be productive IN
pecuniary point of view the State but add to its
salubrity..


There is not much difference in the appearance
of the villages. compared with the period of which
we speak-Smyrna has improv ed-Dover has
grown. Milford, Milton Lewistown little or none,
Cantwelfs Bridge and LePsic, however, have
grown materially in population and activity. Oni
the whole the ardent spirit of agricultural improve
ment was pleasing 10 and the good work has
already strengthened the hand of our gallant little
her agrcul,ura mechanical and commercial re euS enter
