in rood faith by the ladies' at the late military fair
in the Third District. They had every reason to
believe that Prof Morris would give his exhibition
at the school-house, as advertised, and as the eX
hbtion was to be for the benefit of volunteers
families, they sold the tickets without hesitation.
1t was some misunderstanding between Professor
Morris and the School Directory, about using the
school house for the exhibition, that led to the dis
appointment. II the Professor had left some sort
of explanation for the disappointed crowd on
Thursday night, they would not have stigmatized
the affair as swindle, nor would we have been led
into the publication Of it as such. Two Of the
ladies have expressed their deep modification to
us, and state, that though they have paid into the
Volunteer Fund the money takon for the tickets,
thsy will gladly buy in, at their own expense, ali
such tickets as they may have sold. We are fur
ther informed, that the exhibition is not yet given
up, and that az soon as free hall OF exhibition
can be obtained, the exhibition will be given for
the same benevolent purpose originally contem-
plated
SOMETHISG OF PEACu.-We have received from
our friend, Mrs. Rogers, of Common street, peach
of uncommon Dimensions largest peach we
ever saw in New Orleans. It's juicness and gene
raj goodness fOr il is gomez were proportloned to
its size. 1t grew tree in Mrs. r. 3 garden,
onehalf or one side Of which tree is paralyzed or
dead. We are tempted to believe that the stop
page of sap on the dead side of the tree conri-
buted to the extra size of the peaches on the live
side. but are not horticulturst enough to know
for a certainty that the mammoth dimensions of
the peach we received resulted from the paralytic
condition of the tree. We can only say it was the
largest peach we.ever saw in Lousiana-a peach
over two inches and a half in diameter, and fully
rounded and !usciors in nroportion,
