The r.a.c Fresnc..

The water commenced subsiding on Sun
day night between 7 and S O'Clock. after
having reached It's maximum height-a little
over ten feet. Since then the water has
been failing steadily.
Mention was made in Yesterdays paper
Of an accident to The tug 0. a. Arnold.
which was based upon information received
from an eyewitness OF the lllter part OF the
transaction. The steamer Grace Meade
came out with the two schooners and
started down the river. The current car
ried the vessels into the Arnold, breaking
her rail and carrying away her lines from
the dock. The iot1r vessels fioated down
the river until reiIeyej By the Craighill.
The Arnold was lying ut her wharf at the
time the tug and schGoners came along, and
her officers were il no way to blame for the
trouble.
The brig Rocky Glen, heretofore reported
ashore near the Brewery, got off on Sunday
night ard proceeded on her way.
The damage n the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway has been i;lv repaired, and the road
is now open from Richmond 10 Huntington.
The working parties ulet last evening near
Canneton.
The damage to the canal is not as serious
as at first unprecedented. The line between
Richmond and Lychburs will be repaired
within week, and at moderate cost.
Later reports are that Nor:h-Riyer canal
was not damaged, while the damages on
the main canal, though serious, especially
at Bethel. eight miles above Lynchburg, at
Balcony Falls. and at Quarry Falls. are not
rs bad as first represented. At Bethel
portion OF the heavy earthen embankment
just completed is destroyed. Balcony Fails

THE YELLOWS IN PEACHES.

1t is to be hoped that careful investigation
will at length bring out facts enough so that
this subtle infection in the peach may be pre-
vented from spreading, and, possibly, remedy
be found which will be . preventive. That 1t,
like all other diseases, easily attacks trees
weakened in vitality, there is ample proof.
Gov. Boutwell,, OF Massachusetts, who is said
to have an orchard OF several hundred trees on
tho highest hill at Groton, but which Is situated
in depression Of the summit, and surrounded
and protected By timber, thinks the presence is
due TO the grubs or peach borers. He there
fore carefully examines the trees at the proper
season, and destroys the grubs. That borers
are the cause we don't suppose any one imag
ines, but that their work may afford lodgment
for the germs Of the disease called yellows is
not at all unlikely. The best preventive yet
known is to keep the trees in the best growing
condition and health, and Immediately to root
out and burn all trees as soon as they are
found TO be affected. One difficulty is that the
cupidity Of some growers Will not allow them
to do this, and thus one careless or contrary
man in a neighborhood when the soil or other
cause ihclihes to the development OF the yel-
lows, NAV by his course. in time innocuate the
whole. AS the Prairie Farmer has stated. the
subject should be made a careful study by
orchardists and others, and we will make
known any facts in reference to this subject
that we may be furnished with.
There is one thing in this connection that
should be carefully remembered, and II will
apply to the disabilities OF trees generally and
to other disabilities TO the peach as well as that
of the ye!lows when the care is such as will
keep the orchard properly healty and vigorous,
trees are not so subject to infectious diseases,
as the yellows, nor even to the attacks OF
borers, as those improperly cared for. There
is no doubt but trees, like men, when in full
health, are more capable OF warding off disease
than those suffering from debility Of any kind.
Thus in eradicating the yellows, which lust
now is giving good deal Of trouble in some
portions of the Michigan lake shore fruit belt ::
the law there is stringent, and it's enforcement
is made mandatory; nevertheless the solution
Of the difficulty will never be fully reached
until every man is made to See that 1t is drec-
tly to his interest to give his trees the best
conditions possible and also that it is directly
against his interests to have diseased trees.
however slight. on his grounds at all. 1t is
quite difficult to make the man who dose not
read see this; especially so IL he takes up fruit
growing because he thinks there is money in it
The southern fruit belt OF Illinois has disabi-
lity-thst of the curculio-fully as serious as
the yellows IN Michigan. Yet the more advan.
ced fruit growers there have never succeeded
in making the rank aud file believe it was o.
any use to catch the little Turk with view Of
saving their fruit.-Prairie Farmer.
