 MT. G. B. Montgomery, father of J. B. Montgomery, the prominent ranchman and fruit grower, south of town, placed on our table this morning a cluster Of six pears, all growing upon one short bough, grown upon his sons place, that is a marvel, and illustrates the adspta- tion of this soil and climate for the production of fine fruit. The cluster turns the scale at91s pounds, which gives IF pounds as the average weight of each pear, throwing Tn the odd half pound as the weight of the wood, which ID reality would not turn the scales at 4 pound. It Is late pear, probably the Easter Beurre, and looks as though fl placed in a cool dry place, would keep until next April. Mir. Montgomery has one of the largest and finest orchards
 ID the valley and of which be may be justly proud.
