the severest weather of the Spring. Some of
the most fruitful seasons we have known, fol-
lowed such storms as that noticed above, when
occurring before the blossom opened. AT 9TH
er times, we have known snow, hail and ice,
SO that the trees would he loaded with it, to
occur when a portion of the blossoms were
open and the others were not In such cases,
where the blossoms were fully open, the fruit
would be mostly destroyed, and where they
were not, it would not suffer at all. In our
opinion the failure of the peach crop is much
oftener attributable to the severe cold of mid
winter than to that in the Spring; although
a frost of much severity after the bloom is full
ly open will destroy the fruit.

WORCESTER, March %, 1859.
MesSrS. Editors You published, "by re-
quest" this morning, a letter from Worcester
to the Boston Temperance Visitor, signed. W.
NJ, which is written, it seems to me, in any
thing but temperate spirit. If it were to be
read only by our own citizens, it would be
unworthy of notice, written as it is in spirit
of bitterness and unfairness, utterly overstep-
ping the bounds of truth But it is not among
our own citizens alone that this SANDER is to
circulate. 1t is to go abroad among strangers,
who know us only by reputation; and what
reputation, if the statements and inuendoes of
this writer are to be taken Shame on any
one who calls himself citizen of Worcester
who could thus go about, merely to crafty
some petty spleen or malice, vilifying the fair
fame of our city-a city, will venture to say.
with all its faults which stands second to none
for good order and good morals. The writer
is evidently anxious to be considered a martyr
to principle, and to wear, with a few others,
the crown of martyrdom, and takes great mer-
it to himself that his "boxes" were not so large
as his neighbors'. Of the elegant language he
uses, it is not necessary to speak, nor of the
foolish reason he gives for what he considers
persecution-which last, the record of the Po-
lice Court will falsify.
1t is enough, to say that the whole article is
overstrained, and wide from the truth and,
though it is to be lamented that intemperance
and vice are evils from which our fair and be-
loved city are by no means free, would that
she were y STILL she is not the Sodom which
the writer would have the public believe, nor
her rulers the panderers to vice and immoral-
ty which his overstrained and evidently spite
full statements would fain make it appear that
they are.

SHOWER OF FIsH.-A correspondent of
the London Times states that "on Friday, the
18th of February, there fell at Mountain Ash,
Glanmorganshire. about o'clock a. NJ, in
and about the premises of Mr.. Nixon, heavy
shower of rain and small fish The largest
size measured about four inches in length. 1t
is supposed that two different species of fish
descended on this point, however, the public
generally disagree. At the time it was blow
ing very heavy gale from the south. SIEVE
raj of the fish are preserved in fresh water, five
of which have this day seen. They seem to
thrive well. The tail and fins are OF bright
white color. Some persons attempting to
preserve few in salt water, the effect is stated
to have been almost instantaneous death. 1t
was not observed at the time that any fish fell
in any other part of the neighborhood."

A severe storm, accompanied by snow and
hail, occurred in Cincinnati and the adjoining
country on the 18th inst, and it is feared that
the peach crop, the trees being almost in
bloom, will be seriously damaged ii not entire
ly destroyed
So say the papers, and if there should be
failure of the peach crop, it will probably, yet,
in our opinion, without any good reason, but
attributed to the cause above named. As
the result of long and careful observation, we
believe that the cases where the peach crop
Is affected by the state of the weather, between
the first swelling Of the bud and its opening,
are exceedingly rare. II is too late for the Sc
we're frosts of mid-winter which often kill the
germ ut that season. and until the germ COM
menced to enlarge, which is not till the bios
som is fully open, it seems capable Of resisting

| A Loss OF THREE THOUSAND LIVES
Near Taganrog, on the Sea of Azof, catas-
| trOphe occurred, about the beginning of Feb
ruary last, which involved loss of life I'M
paraleled except by memorable earthquakes
or volcano eruptions. 1t appears that some
three thousand inhabitants of Taganrog, re-
lying upon the promise of fair weather made
by genial atmosphere and the cloudless sky
proceeded to the Azoff Sea to indulge in the
sport of fishing beneath the ice-a favorite
pastime of that region. The atmosphere con-
tlnung serene, the party were lulled into
feeling of security, and ventured further than
usual upon the ice, in the hope of obtaining
good haul. Suddenly breeze sprung up from
the east, which, growing boisterous by de-
grees, whirled the loose snow and fine parti-
ces of ice in all directions, and before long
succeeded in detaching the ice from the shore.
The large ice-tield then broke into numerous
pieces, which, with their terrified and helpless
human freight, drifted towards the open sea-
No assistance could be rendered the unhappy
beings by their frantic relatives and friends on
shore, and within two hours not sign of life
was visible on the surface of the sea. On the
following day cake of ice drifted in Shore
upon which were five of the unfortunates-
three of them dead, and the other two numb
and insensibe. The two latter-a girl and
an old man-were restored by means of the
usual appliances the girl, however, survived
but few hours; the man recovered, but lost
the use of his tongue-a consequence prob
ably, of the fright caused by the scene he had
passed through. He prepared written mar

A document calculated to produce surprise
in the minds Of the Catholic people, appeared
in the New York Herald of Saturday. Ii was
signed "Alfred J. Dayman, Missionary Apos-
tolic, and Frederick Ferdinand Des Camps,
Parochus" These priests have renounced
allegiance to the Catholic Church, by repudi-
thority of the diocese of New York They
have announced their intention to discharge
the functions of the priesthood, protected by
the civil law" Ofcourse they have incurred
suspension, ipso tdcto, by this announcement,
and Bishop Hughes says Catholics cannot be
present or aid in their sacrilegious ministry,
without involving themselves individually, In
the same spiritual censure of irregularity."

The FREsHETS.-The Manchester IN. H.
papers state that the Hookset bridge, over the
Merrimac, built last year at a cost of $4,000,
was swept away on Sunday and carried over
Amoskeag Falls, dashing it in pieces. The
Nashua bridge is badly injured, and railroad
bridge at West Concord is destroyed. The
rush of water, ice, wood, and timber, over
Amoskeag Falls, is said to be tremendous. AL
so at Pawtucket Falls, near Lowell, on the
same stream
The Greenfield Gazette says the Deerfeld
and Green Rivers were higher last week than
for several years previously. The bridge
across the canal near Goss's, Montague City,
with the embankment of the canal, were car
ried away. The Montague bridge has been
left wreck by the flood on the Connecticut,
which has torn away nearly all the boards on
the South side, and nearly all the stringers and
braces. The damage is estimated at $1,000 to
$4,000. A bridge across Miller's River, be-
tween Erving and Wendell depot, has been
swept away. The bulkheads of the dams at
Orange and Athol depot have been washed
away. A great deal of lumber between Athol
and CIRCUITS has been carried off. The Ashue-
lot Railroad at Hinsdale is so badly damaged
that trains cannot pass.

AT Northampton, on Saturday evening, the
railroad track was so badly washed that a To-
connective was precipitated into the water, and
the engineer escaped drowning by swimming
to the embankment. Portions of the North
ampton dixie narrowly escaped destruction
from the force of the water.
AT Hartford, all the city east of Front street
IS more or less submerged. The East Hart
ford causeway is badly washed, and couple
of bridges in the vicinity considerably damag-
ed. Many of the houses are flooded to the
second story, in some instances placing the
inmates in peril. The track of the P, H. &
f. Railroad, east of the Connecticut, is washed
so as to be unsafe. The water is three feet
deep in the gas works, on Front street, and no
more gas can be had till the water subsidies
Heavy rains in the region of Pottsville, Pa,
have done an incalculabe amount of damage
