The most perfect specimen Of an
orange within an orange we have ever
seen, was brought from the ranch
of A. i, Chapman, San Gabriel. The
skin had parted evenly at the blos~
som end OF the fruit, and disclosed
the inclosed orange, about the size of
a walnut, the skin being perfectly
formed and colored. The specimen
was given us by A. T. Hatch of
Cordelia.-Paci5c R,raI Press.

A few weeks ago several barrels of
oranges were shipped from the Ock-
lawaha River, to Michigan. The
shipper had placed in the barrels a
number OF large shaddocks. a few
days later the shipper OF the fruit
was astonished to have it returned TO
him with letter from the consignee
in Michigan, stating that they could
raise larger and better pumpkins in
Michigan than those shipped from
Florida, consequently there was no
sale for them Union.
Our County Fair, although small,
gives promise of being quite sue
cess. Its success, however, will de-
pend, in a great measure, on the ex-
tent of interest manifested by the cit-
liens of the county. We hope they
will take that interest in it that will
result in its being success 'ul beyond
the most sanguine expectations OF
those who have labored so hard in
getting it up. The Far, if all will
exert themselves in its interests, will
bea credit to our county, and the
State, and we hope every one viii
do something toward making the ex
hibition as large and attractive as il
may be made.-tSo07ater County A&

The Bee is not all alarmist, but il
view of the fact that that lothesom'
plague, small pox, is spreading Sc
rapidly throughout this country al
10 be declared epidemic III the United
States by the National Board o
Health, we are pursuaded to again
appeal to our city authorities to pro
vide for general vaccination in thu
city. We are satisfied that the ply
sicians would perform the work To-
a very small sum per capitd; anC
the money thus invested would IL
all probability insure our city agains
fearful scourge. The authorities
in nearly every town of importance
are moving in the premises. II
Jacksonville the scholars at the pub
lie schools are required to employ
the preventive against small POI
vaccine matter. The Superinten'
dent of Public Instruction, If the
city authorities won't take the mat
Ter IN hand, should enforce the same
regulation here Gainesville Bee.
