THE storm which originated in the Gulf
on Sunday and did considerable damage inE
Louisiana and on the coast Monday to the
shipping, orange and cane crops, reachcdE
here yesterday and our peach and fodder B
men are having wet day of it to-day.
PEACHEs.-The quantity of peaches thatE
went to the city the latter part of last week, q
between $50 and 200 cars daily mot in 4
lcluding those by water transportation )E
caused "break" in the market, and thek
bulk of the Crawford's Late and the Susque. I
lhannas (the largest peaches that 60 tot
Imarket) to realize not more than half off
Iwhat was expected. This week the carss
number less than $50 and prices havef
advanced some. They are for Boston, $lE
Ito $l.37, New York, GO to $l.25 andI
philadelphia 45 to 90 cts. per basket. TheI
shipments fell off at our station from Is onE
Saturday, to five yesterday The Smock, |
1 3of which there is a full crop, will bel
on next week. The peach season will be
VIRTUALLY over in about ten days.
s THE MosoUIToEs.--The "fuss" in the
newspapers about mosquitoes has probably
ddone an injustice to our Peninsula, by
Agiving strangers an erroneous impression
Jas to the immensity of the "blood suckers" "
Arhe story about little boy being found
adead with his ears, eyes and mouth full of
sathem 1--WE do not know where or by whom
aoriginated), it is now said by those living
Hin that section to be manufactured out oi
1.-THE "whole CLOTH" The statement about
athe cattle being killed may be in the main
Jmore accurate, but then it must be recol
slected that it was very exceptional case
lAeXceeding anything ever before seen anC
sa may not occur again in such force in life
4time. We find towns in other places where
t they have never had them, as Yonkers, N
~, complaining of the swarms of mosqui
toes. In our town we have been les
bothered by them this year than usual
abut the !'crop" on just now is somewhat in
Eacisive, $50 to speak"
