dded.
Tar Fruit CRoP.-Further examination shows
that the damage to the fruit crop by frost is not
so general as was supposed. In some localities
the fruit has suffered heavily but in others the
damage is light, and so it is thought we may yet
have fair fruit crop. Mr.. Ritz, one of our
largest fruit growers, informs us that bis trees
have escaped entirely. The owners of other
large orchards report that their trees have sus-
tanned little or no damage, and that the fruit
crop promises we'll. In some instances, how
ever, the destruction is entire, whole orchards
having been blighted by frost.
