"FIRsT-RATE NOTICE" OF PEACHES
We have noticed some favorable medical recon-
mendatons Of this soon-expected fruit, and we may
add that planters IN Louisiana find the use OF good
fruit so beneficial to the bodily condition OF their
negroes that they fog their ebony chattels to make
them eat freely of ripe peaches, nutmeg melons,
grapes. strawberries, and other delicacies of the
vegetable world At least so says the Neu- Orleans
Courier. General Felix Houston. says that paper,
has tried the peach experiment most extensively and
successfully, on his plantation on the Mississippi
The Courier says
1.-THE statistics of Gen HoustonS plantation verify
this remark. Before he bought It, great mortality
prevailed there One of It's former owners lost fifty
negroes lie whipped his negroes whenever they
were caught eating peach, melon, or an apple
Gen. Houston has one hundred slaves on ms place
He plants thirty In melons. His negroes live IN
the peach orchard He whips them unless they eat
the best and choices-and this they take care to do
There have been but three deaths on the place-and
those were old obstinate negroes, irt0 W0ttdHf rat
