The larger fruits are more seriously injured
from the effects Of the freeze than appears at a
casual glance. In external appearance the
pears generally indicate no injury, but on cut
ting them the seed viii be found dead and in
cipient decay at the core manifest. We find
this to be the case with some twenty varieties
in 7our garden, and others report similar results
from an examination of specimens on their
own grounds The apples and peaches are to
some extent similarly affected.

"The recent contest through which we have

only one candidate for Congress in Virginia

he was defeated? Defeated in a district which
for many years, has given Democratic major

The County Commissioners have issued pro-
posals for the erection of a bridge over the
Scioto river opposite the Ohio White Sulphur
Springs. It is a commendable move, for the
reason that the public convenience demanded
it and the people of that section of the county
while contributing their full share of bridge tax
have heretofore received no benefit from its dis
bursement. Mr.. Wilson, proprietor of the
Springs, has, with commendable hberality, do
mated $500 toward the construction of the pro
posed bridge.

STRANGE HISTORY or A MURDERER-It was
mentioned a few days ago that Felix Sanchez
a Cuban mulatto, who, In January last, killed
his father-in1faw, and stumbled his wTfe-and
mo~ther1iRIaw4 in New York had Seen arrested
in New Orleans. The Bee further informs US:
He was hid away in a Spaniards house some
fifteen days in New York. The Spaniard then
took him to Baltimore, and by reason of his
naturally dark skin managed to sell him as a
negro for S1,400. He was subsequently taken
to Mobile, where he was sold to a Mr.. Brooks,
and subsequently to a Mr.. Ledbetter, who sent
him here to be sold by Mr.. Foster. The latter
put him in the parish prison for safe keeping.
where he was subsequently identified as the al
legged murderer. Sanchez is said to be the
child of a free negress in Cuba, and the son of
a wealthy Cuban planter. He has a wealthy
uncle, he says, in New York, and was born in
Trinidad de Cuba. The accused doubtless had
to submit to being sold as a slave to prevent
being exposed as a murderer.
