A CUR1osIFY.--We have been han
ded by our smiling aud good looking
young friend, Joseph We'll, a genu-
inc curiosity of nature in the shape
of small twig from a peach tree,
having upon it the product of two
blooms, about one inch apart, one of
which has four small peaches and
the other seven, just sprouting out.
If this is fair sample OF the pro-
life fruit crop in stcre for US this
year, we may expect to have cheap
peaches. Thanks, Joseph.
