MORE ABOUT THE PEAcH.-The large in =
terests involved in the peach, its success or !
failure, necessarily renders it u subject Of in
terest and solicitude. The trees are putting '
out, leafing only, and that from the terminal !
buds The lateral buds are in the main dead
involving many of the twigse The serious
question, however, is, to what extent are the
trees themselves affected. Not only the bark
but the wood underneath as WELL has exhibi-
ted discoored, brown appearance indicating
an injury that it could not recover from.
Whether it is diseased beyond the ability to
recover its normal condition has been the dis
tressing question. Many very intelligent peach
culturists have very naturally concluded that
it could not that the injury to the fibre had
been too great for naturs to restore. 4 partial
solution of the question has been given as
per the following from the Peninsutar Nt,cS:
Just after the severest weather of the win
ter Mr.. j. w. c. Gardner took from his nur-
sery stock what appeared to be one of the
worst injured trees, the wood of which was
almost black apparently dead. This he trans
planted TO his greenhouse. 1t revived slowly. |
put out leaves, but the wood remained dark, |
though growing somewhat lighter in color. |
a week ago there was vet diScOlOred ring to !
be seen in the wood where a branch was cut,
but now even that is gone and the wood is |
bright and has an entirely normal appearance. |
This leaves are nearly three inches long and |
the tree looks thrifty and is growing.
This seems to settle the question, concern
| ing which many have been solicitous,
| whether nursery stock would survive 1t also
| indicates that the dark wood of the older trees
! will revive. Messrs. Gardner and Pullen
think that no material damage is done nursery
stock; that only the ends of the twgs will die
! not always these-and they are generally
trimmed off in settling the tree
COURT.--Kent County Court convened on
Monday morning at 10 clock or did with the
attendants, but what is denOmnated the Court
itself did not put in an appearance, and, so
far rs we have learned, no fines were imposed
for delinquency. At 10 minutes after 10

Clerk of the Peace Raughley came in shortly
after and about half-past ten Sheriff Lacy en-
tered with his documents. The jury and wit
nesses hung around listlessly begrudging the
time from their pressing duties at home

Justice Comegys and Associate Justice Wooten
took their seats, but nothing could be done
