The Dead Line.

The Farmer and Fruit Groeer says !:
Peach trees, at Villa Ridge, began to
blossom on the last day OF March and
were in tull bloom by the 9Th OF April.
Below a certain level every bud was
killed by the January freeze. Above
that level the bloom is abundant, even
Early Crawford having blossoms enough
for tair crop. In orchards planted on
slopes running low enough the dead
line Is distinctly defined"

Duprsz and Benedict. n,nstreis.


Next week we enjoy one night with
Duprez and Benedict's Ministries and
their popular attractions. This troupe
has played here often and have always
maintained themselves fully up to the
standard as one Of the best troupes on
the road. They open Monday night at the
Atheneum. The Charleston Ne,os and
Courier, of recent date. has the following
to say ofthe troupe: "Duprez aud Bene-
diets minstrels have always been great
fayorites with the amusement-loying
community of this city, and
the reception accorded them
last evening was convincing
proof OF their popularity. As general
thing the patronage Of this class OF en-
tertainments Is not the very best, but
with this troupe it was different. The
pit, parquet and dress circle were filled,
and the galleries were packed to the
very ceiling. The novelty of this troupe
is that there are four end-men. and all
of them artists. The performance com.
menced with the medley overture, Fan.

GROWTH OF MOBILE.

The Mobile (Ala.) Register says that
that city has three times the population
1t had at the outbreak of the war, and it
does not think that the falling off in the
cotton receipts is to be at all fatal to its
future prosperity. 1t says: "Our naval
store business gives employment to a host
of men whose families live in the city,
The early vegetable and fruit business
has likewise grown enormously, and the
oand of improved gardens and farms
around the city has materially expanded
We hear of peach crop on single farm
netting 81, 900. We hearof asugar cane farm
yielding 800 to 400 gallons Of molasses tc
the acre. We hear of an increased and
improved clip of wool in every direction
around us. These new industries all added
to the capacity of the country and city
to sustain an increasing population"

CHASE AND CAPTURE OF A MANIAC
From the Chicego Inter- Ocean.


A crazy man created considerable ex>
citement at the Palmer House yesterday
morning. He entered the office about 8
O clock, laid down key, and started up
stairs. reaching the sixth floor, where
Mr.. Milton Palmer discovered him. He
was parading the hall In a very excited
manner, whistling and swapping his fing-
ers. When asked what his business was
here, he said that he Was attending TO
things. Fire cleaned from his eye, and
there was every evidence that a raving
maniac was prt sent. Mr.. Palmer called
for assistance, when the stranger in a
naniacal frenzy, leaped out of window
on to the roof of the conservatory. Mr..
Palmer had previously asked him to go
Town stairs, but the lunatic refused. He
walked on the narrow edge of the con-
serva ory roof nimb]e as a monkey. Tue
servants forbore interfering with him
lest he might jump into tho courtyard
below, q dist nee of about 100 feet, and
kill himself. The maniic walked upon
the crollng glass, and finally lsaped up.
on the main root. Here sever men
had a terrible struggle with him. H.
ried to run around them and jump of
he edge in to the str act, a distance oI
over 100 feet. He was fin4lly cornered
and then tried TO leap down a chimney
