The Fruit PROSPECTS, in this section of
country, are very poor so far as relates to
peaches and plums. The peach trees were
nearly ali killed by the severe cold of the past
winter, and many of the plum trees met with
similar fate. The apple trees, we believe,
are not injured, aud will probably produce
their usual quantity of fruit.

pushed forward to speedy completion. OF
this We are the more fully convinced when we
take into consideration the fact that the in
