The orange crop in Florida will be
light this season, judging from the small
number of blossoms. The cause can not
but partially be accounted for. There is
found a very dangerous insect in many
groves, which has effected much damage.

of full crop. The present crop OF pineap-

size and superior quality. Thousands are

A man was recently charged with
selling liquors without license at point Op
posite Osceola, Ark, in the Mississippi
River. There was no question as to where
the saloon was located, but the defendant
claimed that the Constitution Of 1874 de-
clared the boundary of the State line on the
east to be the middle of the main channel Of
the Mississippi River, and the channel was,
on the 30th of October, 1874, located west
of the sand-bar, and that the State line
is therefore now where it was in 1874, while
now the channel of the river is east of the
bar. But the court decided that the east
line of the State was shifting, and that it
always followed the main channel Of the
river, and so instructed the jury, who
found the defendant guilty, and, being una
able to agree upon the amount of the fine,
the Court fixed ia at 5000, and the defendant
appealed to the Supreme Court.
