years. A child of bis was killed at the Depot

PEACH PROSPECTS, neighbor P. Rob-
ertson, called our attention 10 some dozen
or fifteen peach cuttings of different varieties,
embracing Hale's Early, upon which the buds
presented an unusual proportion of sound ones.
Hardly more than one in twenty showed signs
of blight. Hale's Early, perhaps, the most ten
der and delicate, gave the larger proportion of
blasted buds, of the several varieties produced
If therefore we are lucky enough to escape the
late frosts, the peach crop, in this quarter will
probably be an abundant one, as no tree could
sustain itself if half the sound buds were elab-
