THE Peach CRor OF ST. JosErII, MIcn-
The peach season in st. Joseph, aud the region
round about, opposite US on the lake shore, Is
now at its climax. The fruit is very pIent' !,
and of first rate quality indeed, pIen'icr
and better we are assured, than 1t has been
in any preyiou, year. The orchards are fairly
loaded down with the luxurious fruit, which
is now being gathered and sent to market
east and west. One man, who has an orchard
os fifteen acres, will make between $4,000
aud $4,000 this year, clear profit
In 1859, the peach crop of the It. Joseph
region amounted to 10000 baskets. This
wear, it is estimated, the crop will exceed
10000 baskets.
The pear crop in and around st. Joseph,
this season, is also very large, and the quality
unusually good.

The opposition Was not 80 much to division
