The Missouri River Flood.

The Missouri River, at Sioux City,
Iowa, was reported higher on Thursday
than at any previous time. No serious
damage was reported, however. Advi-
ces have reached Sioux City ofthe rescue
of the last of the sufferers in Dakota. 1t
Is reported from Omaha that the river
at that point is higher than before, but
the damage is likely to be confined to
the interruption Of business. The food
at Chicago is Suhsiding, and the mills,
which had been stopped, are rcsnming

Chesapeake bays and 70 the Atlantic. II
has been theory of many fruit growers
that trees near to the water could stand
the cold better than those not soSituated,
The result OF this phenomenal year
show more clearly than ever before that
this supposition is not such great fall
lacy as a number of SkepticS have de-
clared. The first news of any buds
thought tO be alive came from near
Odessa, in this county, and it was stated
that the injury had not been SO great TO
the orchards lying within a mile or so
of the Delaware ~ those more inland.
Major B. r. Biggs, Of Middletown,
stated yesterday at the depot at that
place that there would be no peaches
along the line of the railroad Of which
he is PreSident-tlueen Annes u Kent
and that the same condition Of affairs
existed around Sudlersville. And yet
reliable aAviceS from the section of the
Eastern Shore lying adjacent to the
Chesapeake bay and its large tributaries
state that the crop has not been totally
destroyed.
Again, the reporter was informed by
Mr.. Harbesun Hickman of lcwes, that
he expected to have peaches. Mr., Hick-
man is one Of the largest land owners in
Sussex, and nearly all his farms are
situated near the Atlantic coast. lie
has something like 10000 peach trees.
Examinations of many Of his orchards
show that many of the buds are still
alive. From present appearances nc
will have peaches, and he will be one OF
the few SUSSEX farmers who are 50 for
tunatc. Similar reports come from tho
western portion of Kent county upon
the Delaware bay, and owners Of orch
ards situated upon creeks emptying
into the bay have not given up all
hope. But if all these orchards yield
which is very unlikely ;hry will only
serve to make up an almost intinitesmal
quota of what the peach crop usually

THE OUTLOOK AT PRESENT.

summed up briefly the prospects are
meagrc and afford but little comfort.
1t is IL cold day for the peach growers
on the Peninsula. The trees all Ovor
the peach section are injured very badly,
and, as stated, the gr0w' RS have long
ago given up hope OF raising peaches this
year, and are on the ragged edge over
the prospective death Of the trees. In
central Kent all the trees over iireyearS
of age are dead, and the young ones ap-
pear to permanently injured. Young
trees, set out last year are dead. AT
Milford the orchard owners have com
menccd to cut down and uproot many
of the trees. Three Milford men, anti
cipating ,hc failure of the crop have pur-
chased $1,000 cans Of peaches. Old
growers say that their minds arealready
made up that the trees hurt by the cold
will not bear again, but there is gen
eral disposition to await future de-
velopemrnts and see if the trees
leaf with the approach of Summer
OTHER FRUITS.
The cold has not had anything like
the effect upon the hardy apple which
it cXerted upon the peach. The Early
Harvest is the only variety really injur-
ed Pears are likewise but little dam
aged. The red raspberry which was
considered the most susceptible OF all
berries to the cold was not hurt bit
and the prospects for heavy yield are
good. Strawberries are not hurt, ana
ii the season is favorable the crop will
be enormous, probably the largest ever
| known in Delaware.
OF the berries the blackberry has suf-
| fcred most. All the varieties except
the "Kittina" are killed above the snow
line, and there will be only onc-siXth OF
q crop.

Mackerel and Whisky.
For the FREEMAN.

For the FREEMAN.
Two kegs of mackerel and three
barrels of whisky, was the sum total
of an invoice of goods delivered to
81. Bradfield, Tueps Landing, o."
as we observed, coming down on
the boat recently Bradtield under
stands his business. "Grocery,"
perhaps, is the sign that marks the
particular locality where this intel
ligent merchant drives his thriv-
ing trade. One small keg of salt
fish to Il barrel and half of light
ning-rapidity drunk compound
The eternal fitness of things sug-
gests itself at once. Just enough
mackerel to make his customers
thirsty.
"Tuels Landing" Yes, we re-
member that place. 1t is just
across the river from Sistersville, a
village ofTyler county, VIVA Time
was when "Tuels" was a dull
unthrifty place. Bradtield used to
loaf and fish, and work little
when he couldn't help it. Tyler
county granted license, and Sisters
Vile had four bar-rooms. There
were lively, interesting times in
Sistersville on a Saturday, or a
muster day, or on any "big day"
The number and character of rows
and knock-downs bore about the
same ratio to the amount of bad
whisky consumed as does Brad
fields three barrels of rot-gut, to his
two kits of mackerel. A country
jake boy, of about the size of this
deponent felt comfortable only
when he was on his horse, n few
miles out of town, homeward bound
and fully assured that none of the
consumers were coming that way.
But Tyler got tired of the licensed
whisky traffic, and Sistersville lost
its commercial prosperity. Some
of the country people who used to
spend all their money for "com-
merce," became sober men, and died
out of debt. Some Of them are liv-
ing yet in happy christian homes.
Bradheld has taken the remnant of
trade, and there are found few
who will 90 over to Bradfeld's,
spend their money, get drunk,
come over to Sistersville and set up
an occasional yell in the streets,
and possibly there remains man,
or the remnants Of one, who lived
two decades ago, who will come
forth and tell you "Sistersville is
worse without license than it was
when we had license" Let us be
patient. BY the time Ohio
squelches Bradfeld, this relic Of
former days will be dead J.
