The lste uplesssnInesz in the matter
OF weather is looked upon IS the dying
struggles Of winter. Il vas occasion for
surprise that 80 mild And placid thing
as the lsst winter hiss been, should die so
hard. Accounts Vary 81 20 the effects Of
the freeze upon the fruits, especially the
peach crop. The whole country Is inter-
es:ed, alike with Baltimore, in the peach
orchards OF the Maryland and DeIs-
ware peninsuls, for they sre tue
principal source Of supply OF
this very delicious fruit. Some Of these
orchards were in full bloom before the
cold snap, AID the probability is thA.
about fry Per cent Of the germs were
killed. II the Ioss il Los greater than
this, there will be sn sbandsr! crop, sud
the quality o. the fruit will be enhanced.
The peach trees OF .hi. locality sre 80
prolific tbs. when the season i cor.inQ-
ously fayorsble, the resul! il quite ss ua-
favorable 81 when the fross intervene
and nip the buds. IL The former case the
markets are glu!ted, sud the growers s,e
tishear.ered with the prices, while tie
quality of the irui! is inferior. !! !. 10
