An Ingenious Plan.

The Smyrna Times mentions the case
of John j. Jones, hvIDg near that town,
who use,i i1re to protect his peach trees
from frost.
On Thursday and Friday night of last
week and Sunday night of this week he
built and kept fire burning Throughout
each night along the north side of his
orchard to counteract If possible the
effect of the cold snap. "Neighbor''
Jones deserves credit at least for his in
dustr,ous effort to save his peach crop,
but it remaibs to be seen with what
effect. He feels certain that they are
benefited, and while others are croaking
he feels in good spirits about the crop.
OF the general peach prospects of that
neig hborhoud, the Times says:
The general expressions yesterday
among the farmers was that the peaches
as a crop were gone, but 1t is not doubt
ed that III particular cases there are still
live germs that will make fruit unless
some further disaster overtakes them. L.
G. Lapham has tree standing between
two houses which he says Is not injured.
He further says that part of HE ORCH
ard, which was plowed in February, lis
not mate rally injured, while the rest of
the orchard plowed during the past
month, has nearly or quite all killed. IL
Is possible that these variances as to
position, place and variety may insure
the county at large a partial crop. We
feel cerIain that the repor.s next week
will be more cheerful.

FORMAL OPENING.
A PLEASANT OCCASION AT THE U. s.
HOTEL LAST EVENING.

A PLEASANT OCCASION AT THE U. s.
HOTEL. LAST EVENING.
Since March 25th, Mr.. John J.
Dougherty has been proprietor of the
United States Hotel, but since that
time he has been so busy in making a
number of repairs and fitting up that
he has had scarcely any time to give
the attention to his friends that he de-
sired until last evening. Taking ad-
vantage of the time, he determined to
surprise his friends. Accordingly he
extended an invitation to them, and
also number ofinvited guests to meet
him at his hotel.
AS those who were invited arrived,
they were shown up into the parlor by
attentive walters. After all had ar
rived they were entertained with vocal
and instrumental music until shortly
after II o'clock when ''mine host"
made his appearance, and invited those
present to the dining room. Upon ar
irving at that best Of all places to a
hungry person, the guests were more
! than surprised to see before them a
i number of tables which, to use home
ly expression, were fairly groaning un-
der the weight of everything that the
appetite could crave, including terra
pin.
The guests were quickly seated, and
the way that the ea.ibles disappeard was
a caution. After all had satified the in
ner man, an adjournment was made TO
the pastors where they were again treated
to music. The time passed very pleas
antlV and when IL came time to deDart
the guests did 80 with many sighs of re-
gret. The occason will be long remem-
bered by those present as one of the
most enjoyable affairs that they attended.
Previous to final adjournment a vote
of thanks was rendered the proprietor for
his hospitality.
Mr.. Dougherty has entirely refurnish-
ed repainted and repapered the hotel,
and it is now enc of the best Inns in
the city. AS he employees none but the
best of cooks, his tables, which always
contains the delicacies of the season, are
well worth setting down TO.

A LeGdUiIIe Incident.

A letter to the Chicago Times says
There is one happy man in Leadville to-
day. The first Of the week he came into
town, ragged, dirty, and penniless, after
summers prospecting. He managed
some way to get liquor however, and
net feeling in the best of humor, in fit
of desperation he went on big drung.
He consequently got arrested and was
fin ed, as drunk and disorderly, SIS and
cost. Having no money to pay the fine,
he was sent to the city jail, and thence
TO the chain-gahg, to work it out on the
streets of Leadville. He had served part
of his time when he received call from
party of capitalists from .he Clarendon
hotel. A claim in which he owned an in.
terest, had struck 1t rich, and these gen.
tleman had called to offer him the sum
of $4,000 for his share. 1t is needless
to say that the offer was accepted. He
signed the papers, already prepared then
and there, and received the money, paid
his fine, visited the bath. house and cloth
ing store, and slept that night at the
Clarendon. The next morning, clothed
and in his right mind, he ordered a
carriage, visited the scene of his late
humiliation, and paid the fines of his
former companions in misery, and sent
them on their way rejoicing. He is
happy and so are the capitalists, as they
think they struck a splendid bargain,
but this fact does not yet disturb the
serenity of the man, who has come up
out of the depths, and leaped as it were,
in the twinkling of an eye, from the
chain-gang and penury to competency
for all time to come. "Truth," is often
times s'stranger than ficiion."

The Presidents Amnesty.

1t will be remembered that one of the
acts of President Hayes, much criticised
at the time, was to offer a general am
nesty to illicit distillers In the hill coun-
try ofISouth Carolina if they would
come into court and plead guilty. Three
hundred and twentynine persons sur
reundered and pleaded guilty under
this promise in 1878. 1t is gratifying
to read in Mr.. Raum's report
lam glad to be able to report that,
dating from this great act of clemency,
there has been steady improvement in
the condition of affairs in connection
with the internal revenue service IN
South Carolina. There exists much
better state of public opinion in respect
to enforcing the laws. The State officers
have generally lent their influence in
favor of their observance, and the press
advises the people to abstain from viola
ting the laws. The United States officers
have not recently been resisted. Four
officers stationed at Walhalla, four at
Spartanbnrg and two at Cheraw police

danger, prevent the running of Illicit

lowing Witnesses we're put upon the stand
by the plaintiff In rebuttal evidence pro-
dnced by the defense Mrs. Sasse, Miss
Ida Talbot, Mrs. Talbot and Miss
Mary A. l.. Talbot, the plaintiff. The
Misses Talbot denied specifically the
assertions Of witnesses for the defense
in regard to their unbecoming conduct
upon the train and at Wilmington, and
Ida, the elder sister, Ereiterated her
previous statement in reference to having
walked from President street depot to
their residence on the morning of their
arrival from Wilmington. Capt. G. r.
Matson, And James Newton, hackman,
were the only witnesses examined in re-
buttal by the defense. Three prayers
were offered by the plaintiff and one by
the defense; no objection being raised to
any of which on either side, all were
granted by the court. Hon. Edwin
Dinthicum opened for the plaintiff and
was followed by Messrs. Donaldson and
Wootton for the defense. The closing
arguments we're made tor the plaintiff
by Ex Judge Gleeson and the case was
given to the jury at 5.10 p. m. At a
late hour tonight the jury rendered q
verdict for the, plaintiff for one cent
damages. A similar cause of action, in
stituted by the elder sister Of the plain
tiff in the above case, involving similar
circuD stances and for the same amount
Of damages, viz: $4,000, was set for

THE PROSPECT FOR A GOOD YIELD OF
PEACHES STILL BRIGHT.

THE PROSPECT FOR A GOOD YIELD OF
PEACHES STILL BRIGHT.
The scare over the coming peach crop
being aim st entirely killed, is gradually
subsiding, and the prospects of good
crop is Frightening every day.
At first it was thought that the cold
weather Of the last three days CT last
week had played sad havoc with the
buds, and a general wall went up that
the crop was entirely killed.
Within the past three days the situation
has materially changed, and the reports
are more encouraging. A produce mer-
chant of Middletown, who was in this
city yesterday stated to a reporter of
this paper that IN his opinion there
would be plenty Of peaches, at least
sufficient quantity to allow the growers
TO realize above their expenses, which
they could not do had the crop been
full one, as In that case there would
be perfect glut in the market, and the
fruit would not bring sufficient per
basket to pay for the picking.
In support of his opinion that the
crop was not so seriously injured he
said that during the cold nights in
question that there was no rain, and
consequently no water in the buds to
freeze them. Had there have been
rain the buds would have been frozen,
and the entire crop killed. A cold
wind would not materially affect the
buds, and hence the bright prospects
fo- good crop. He had examined
several orchards, and found the buds
in healthy condition. He further
said that it was almost impossible to
tell how much of a crop there would be
until after the June shedding. At that
time all the unhealthy buds drop off,
and leave only the good ones on the
trees. He thought that the crop would
be more general, and not confined to a
certain section.
Another gentleman from Middle
town, also produce and commission
merchant at that place, stated that he
had purchased an orchard from which
he expected to realize twenty thousand
baskets of the fruit. He also was of
the opinion that there would be suffi-
cient peaches for everyone who desired
to purchase.
1t is probable that no one observes
| the peacn crop more thoroughly than
the railroad officials, as it is a great
item to their companies in the matter
of freight. A gentleman connected
with the Delaware railroad who has
Just returned from trip as far down
as Delmar, said this morning, that in
his opinion, and from the careful OBJ
servations that he had made of the
trees that there would be a good crop
from all down their line. The reports
which he had heard from the branch
lines were also of the same encourag-
| ing nature. He had no faith in half
the reports circulated in regard to the
crop being killed.
J. p. r. Polk, Esq, of this city,
who owns farm near the Delaware
river, this county, upon which there
are sixty thousand peach trees, states
that he has received letter from his
tenant saying that his crop was unin-
jured.
This seems to be the general opinion
and those who at first thought the
crop was destroyed, should possess
their souls in peace, as it is very likel,
there will be more than sufficient
peaches for us all.
