ty, who was boasting of his nerve, was
challenged to hold up small tin to be
shot ut with a revolver, when he weak
ened and declined. A young lady pres
ent at once offered TO hold the tin, and
did so unshakingly while it was pierced
by 4 bullet fired at distance of twelve
yards. She then held up n smaller arti-
cle-a small plate-which met with the
fate, and picking up one of the pieces,
held it for further trial. Her conf
dence in the skill of the marksman, who
has been several times a member of the
Wimbledon team, was not misplaced,
for the broken pieces was again hit by
a bullet while in her fingers.

The Damage.
Wildwood Orange Leaf.

WILDWOOD Orange Leaf.
The damage wrought throughout the
state by the freeze is variously estimat-
ed, but it is certainly immense. Good
authority in Jacksonville place the loss
on oranges alone at $500, COO.
Mr.. j. w. Lee, of Leesburg, thinks
that this county alone suffers a total loss
of million Of dollars. We hardly
think it can amount to that much, but
it is heavy enough.
In comparison with othor localities,
this immediate section suffers little. 1t
is an agricultural section and it is gen
orally conceded that the weather ensures
good farm crops this year. Millions of
insects have been destroyed, and in this
particular the freeze has been benefit
even to the orange trees.
Within a radius of six miles from
Wildwood, 5000 boxes of oranges have
been destroyed on the trees. Bearing
trees. it is thought have no. been materi-
ally injured.
Cabbages have escaped; in fact the
vegetable crop generally is injured.
But oats. we think, will have to be re-
planted ; those that are just coming up
are evidently killed. 1t is not too late
to plant red, rust proof oats.
Finally, one of the good effects of the
freeze will be to give us healthy year.
