It is reported that the freeze last Sat-
urday mording killed the peaches on
the low lands, and injured the early
varieties very materially on the up
lands. The late varieties were proba-
bly, not forward enough to be in at the
death. Grass also was injured to a
considerable extent.
Three valuable horses have died in
this town recently. One owned by
Leach, one by Sheets and one by Mrs.
A. P. Young. They all died very sud-
denly, and the cause battles veterinary
skill.
John Maird (colored) living in the
east part of the township, had his house
and all the contents burned last Satur-
day night. Cause, probably careless
ness. The family went to CARROTS
vile in the evening and while they
were absent the confagration occurred.
Fully insured.
We have not quite had several tor
nadoes the past six weeks, but the
