OUR FRUIT.
The Crops Much Larger thaa the Aver
age NOn.beariag Year.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Aug. 20.
The New England Homestead, TODAY, pub
lishes reports from over 1000 correspondence
in the fruit regions of New England, New
York, New Jersey, Delaware and England
They show that although this is the odd or
non-bearing year for apples, there will be
no scarcity of that fruit. The reason of this
unnatural yield is that so many of the or.
chards all over the country suffered from
the heavy frosts ls st year which caused them
to become barren for that year. The crop
will fall little short of 75 per cent OF
an average bearing year, and is therefore
much larger than the average non bearing
year crop. There has been little damage from
the canker worms throughout the section
covered. 1t is too early for prices on winter
apples to be estimated. bHt in New England
rel will probably be the ruling prices There
is great abundance of cider apples and
many will be fed to cattle.
Plums where grown will be a good crop.
Pears average about 10 per cent of a full
crop and the quality of the fruit generally is
good. Grapes in the east fall below an aver
age crop, but in quality make up what they
lack in quantity. Quinces, where grown,
fall below an average. Berries and cherries
were great crop, the largest for years.
A cablegram from Liverpool gives the con-
dtion of the English apple crop as good but
below earlv expectations, as the fruit is fall
ing. The crop will fall below the needs of
the country and as the fruit from the cholera
infected fruit districts of Europe will be shut
out, the prospects for shipments from this
country are very good.

AN INSULT.
An Efigy of Gen. Grant Hanged to I
Lamp Post in an Iowa Town.

BEDFORD, Iowa, Aug. 20.
Some time during last Saturday night an
effigy of Gen. Grant was hanged by unknown n
persons to lamp post on Main street in the
little town Of Writ, Ringeold county, and
was found by the citizens and promptly re-
moved. Whether the dastardly act was com
mitted in pure wautoDness or to wreak ma
lignant hatred on the memory of the dead
hero is at present unknown. A paper calling
for subscriptions to assist in ferreting out the
criminals was Immediately put in circulation
in Mount Ayre, the county seat and adjoin-
ing towns, and the citizens generally re-
sponded eagerly. The affair is being in
vested thoroughly by the indignant citizens
of Writ. The best citizens in Des Moines
and Chicago have been employed, and should
the culprits be discovered there is but little
chance in the present state Of popular feeling
that the law will be allowed to take its
course.

GRxExvrulx, s. C., Aug. 70.

GRHENviLLK. s. c., Aug. 20.
The reported escape Of los convicts from Q
stockade on the Spartanburg and Asheville
road in North Carolina is confirmed. A gen
tleman who has arrived at Greenville, s. e.,
from Merritsville reports having seen 10 of
men with their shackles still on roaming
around the country, and seemingly making
no effort to get out of the way. They con-
frmed the rumor that the guards were
asleep when their escape was effected by
making such q statement to the negroes
whom they met on the road near Merritts-
vile. They cay that the entire squad of los
escaped save one man. who was shot and
killed BY = guard who had been aroused by
the stampede caused ~ they made the break
for liberty. As the reward in North Carolina
for the arrest of convicts is only $40, the ar
resting officers taking all risks, the fugitives
will net be Tolested seriously. A posse,
however, and number Of detectives aided
by blood hounds. are at work and may secure
some Of the escaped men.
