LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

FROsT5 IN ARRIL.-This section has been
very fortunate in escaping heavy trosts this
month, which is the month of anxiety for
fruit.growers. Up to date no frosts have
appeared until Tuesday morning, when the
mercury fell to 81 at $50 o'clock, and in
many places q white frost was to be seer. It
was SO light probably no damage to fruit will
be noticed in this vicinity. The coldest
weather in April ever noticed In this city was
or Tuesday, the 9Th Of April. 1873. 1t had
been warm and pleasant ali the season to that
time, and promised well for fruits 1t fell to
50. on the 5sh, and squalls of snow fell dur
ing that day, with piercing north wind. and
the morning of the 9Th it was down to 24'-S'
below freezing point-and the ground was
white with the heavy frost. Ice formed in
many places and hydrants and pumps were
frozen. The fruit and vegetable crop was
ruined, and the hopes of what promised to be
q plentiful year were blasted. Plants were
burned black, and even the hardy trees had
their leaves kille1. 1t was the coolest weather
we had that season. 0nly once had it fallen
so low as "a, which was in the preceding De-
csmber The coolest weather before this was
on April 5C1S73-thermometer 27', s. below
freezing point-which was also very disas-
trous to fruit. Since April, 1873, We have
had no heavy frosts in April. The latest frost
in spring ever noticed was May 16. 1879, when
the thermometer was down to 81 at o'clock
in the morning, and slight white frost was
to be seen in many places. No damage was
done, however.
THE ODD FELLOWS PIoNIC.-The various
Lodges of ODD Fellows in this city hold their
annual picnic tomorrow at Leet's grove, near
Roseville. Every arrangement has been made
to convey by rail the many hundreds that
will attend from this city. The Committee
of Arrangements is composed of gentlemen
who thoroughly understand what is required
to secure the comfort and pleasure Of all who
desire to attend. From gentleman who
visited the grounds yesterday it Is ascertained
that they are in excellent condition, and in
appearance most beautiful. The public
schools will be closed, and from what can be
learned this will be the largest picnic that
ever left Sacramento. All who desire q good
time and a garnbol on the green should secure
"a ticket and attend.
WHO Is TO BLAME ?-On Sunday last, as
the Street Railway Company brought the
people from East Park. some of the cars.
which were filed with as many as could
crowd their way in. were taken possession of
by drunken hoodlums. They qusrreled with
each other and with the conductors of the cars,
used vulgar and indecent language, and if it
had been possible for TIE ladies and children
who occupied seats in those vehicles, they
would gladly have left the car and walked
into the city. II the management Of the
City Railway do not protect the women and
children who patronize their line from these
beastly exhibitions, their will be con-
dsmned before the picnic season commences.
