PROSPECT FOR FRUIT-THE VIRGINIA LEAF.
CORRESPONDENCE of the Richmond Dispatch.]
PROSPECT, VA, April 10, 1873.
Sufficient time has elapsed since the late
frosts TO Judge with certainty the extent OF
damage TO the fruit. Immediately after the
cold spell it was generally believed that the
naaches. pears, and cherries were all killed,
and there was strong suspicion that the
onDles had been nipped in the bud, but
close observation shows that the damage is
not as great as IVES first supposed. Last
spring we had frost that Killed the
peaches in fiat lands. This year the
reverse is the case. The peaches are
SHARED in the fat lands and Killed gene
rally on the hills. So far we have IN
some favored situations peaches, cherries,
and pears. The apples are all safe. Strange
that strawberries should have escaped.
They generally bloom so early that iate
frost is apt to Kill them ii anything is killed.
The variety OF traits in this climate bloom
inc, as some Of them do, after all danger
from frost is past. secures to US some iruit
every wear; and il we would give more at
teption 10 the cultivation OF those kinds
that are not usually injured by frost we
would not be so subject to its whitening
power. We can have the smaller fruits that
will bear through the entire summer and
fall--such as perpetual strawberries ana
cyer-bearing raspberries; and there are
apples that bloom late and rarely ever
get killed by the frost. Generally with
us, ii we bad half Of our apples, peaches,
and pears on the hills, and the other hall
upon the very banks OF streams-not in the
wet flats, but upon the deep dry banks OF
our water-courses-we would rarely ever
all in having an abundance Of fruit. Since
the tobacco crop has disappointed the eX-
pectations of the farmer-all worry and no
proft-the people are casting about to see
il fruit and grapes, and milk and butter,
and pork and beef, have not more substan-
tial comfort, il not more money in them,
in the long run, than they find in the
weed. 1t is getting to be generally be-
leved that old Virginia will have to retrieve
her reputation for good tobacco that she
once had: and il the farmer wants to make
any money his farm pen-manures are to be
the basis for rich, waXy, heavy article
that vii! bring a good price; and it is to be
hoped that the tins is not far distant when
we will see the Virginia leaf as it was IN
Uate-beltum days, when we produced SUI
perior tobacco, such as had no competition
in the markets OF the world. H%'E*S.

Two LADIES STRUCK By A TRArN-HUR1.e En-
4 HUNDRED FEET INTO THE AIR-INsTAET
DEArH.--Syracuse, N. y, April IL
A horrible accident occurred at East
Syracuse yesterday morning, resulting
in the death OF lady named Ellen
Murphy, aged forty-fve years, OF CLYDE,
New York, and her niece, Miss Nellie
Brossell, aged eighteen years, of sa-
lima, n. 7. The Dewitt special train was
late In arriving at East Syracuse, and a flying
shift was made from one track to another.
The unfortunate ladies got off the train and
started across the transfer track. Just at this
time the second mail train from the East,
with double-header," came along at a
frightful speed. The engineer blew his
whistle, and Miss Brossell suddenly became
aware Of her danger. A quick movement
on her part could have saved her life, but
her aunt was ahead OF her, between the
rails, and the girl, forgetting herself, rush.
ed to her aunt's rescue, and, Selling her by
the arm, endeavored to pull her from the
track. The engine struck both the ladies,
hurting them into the air nearly one hun
dred feet. They fell a mangled mass Of
flesh and bones.
