Publishers Times During The last few
days, having heard frequent remarks con-
corning double, triple, and even quadrupis
peaches on the trees in this neighborhood
vas led to exam;ne for myself, and find
that nearly every blossom on the peach
trees hereabouts, has produced two OF
more peaches: and have found as many
as FIVE or six on one stem.
Enclosed | send you a few specimens
some double, some triple, and some qua
druple. | do not know whether or not this
singularity is common throughout the coun-
try this year or only confined to this district
have examined the trees in several or
chards and find each to be ladened in this
multifarous form with peaches.
One peach on single stem, as they US
ualy grow, seems to be the exception this
year, and az have never seen or heard be-
fore Of peaches growing in such large clus-
tiers, and 30 many from one bloom, have
noted down the fact for publication in your
extensively circulated paper, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether this occurrence
is general or only confined 10 this neighoor-
hood.
Yours. truly, f. II. THOMAS.

shown several specimens Of ike produce

FRAUDULENT STocK OF THE New HAVEN
RAlLRoAD.-In the New York Supreme
Court on the 18th, Judge Cowies sustained
the demurrer put in by Mr., Cross, tor the
firm OF Dennistoun, Wood a. CO., one ofthe
defendants of the action brought by the d.
rectors of the New Haven Railroad Compa-
ny to restrain the holders of the false issues
oil stock from prosecuting suits OF law a.
gainst the company The temporary in
junction obtained by them has consequent
~ been dis Owed. Judge Cowles deems
every bona fde holder Of stock, reputed false
or not, TO have absolute and perfect claims
against the company. The holders OF the
fraudulent ock are said to be three or four
hundred in number. The decision was lief,
to Judge Cowles alone because he was the
only Judge in tina. court who was not inter.
ested as holder OF stock.
