day large number of shirts were prepared by the

second spring upon all the low country. The
flowers and shrubs all budding and blooming
afresh and the peach and pear trees, are in almost
full bloom. This is supposed to arise from the
shaking, racking and stripping Of the vegetable
kingdom, by the late storm. 1t has long been known
