not as largely attended as it ought to
have been, was quite success. The
selection of music was good and the ex-

the exercises all showed fine musical
talent. The proceeds, which are to
be given to the Presbyterian church,
we're $3.50.
1t has been going the rounds of the
press of the State that all the peaches
have been killed. We are glad to
state that this i not the case. John
W. Roseman, Esq, a very prominent
fruit grower at Gadsden. tells us he
has examined and that where orchards
are ON low lands all the peaches are
killed, but on up lands they are not.
He and all his neighbors, whose Or
chards arc on high lands still have
fine prospects for good peach crop.
