The Peach Crop.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30-A special from
Wilmington, Delaware, says: Informs
ton from various sections of the peach
growing districts Of the peninsula, gives
assurance that the trees have not thus
far been affected by the cold weather,
and the prospects for good crop next
season are very good up to this time. An
extensive grower In the lower part OF the
penlnsuls, examined his trees since the
cold weather and finds them not entirely
uniDjured, but unusually hardy. Owners
of several other large orchards have made
inspections with similar results. All,
however. unite in the opinion that the
trees had a narrow escape. Growers
say that this is peach year, and unless
something later befslIs them, all are
hopeful of q big peach yield.

While the troops we're in camp await
ing the time fixed for the conference,
they were attacked by 154 Mexican SOL
diers. Efforts were made TO let the Mex
leans know that the troops were Amer.
cans and friends. Captain Crawford and
Lieutenant Mas advanced 70 talk with
them, Whereupon q volley was fired. Capt.
Crawford was shot IN the head, and Mr..
Horn, interpreter, was eighty wounded
In the LETT arm.
The Mexican IRE was partly return ed
by the scouts OF Capt CraWfOrd's COM
mand, but only sufficient to keep them
a.. a distance. The firing tasted half an
hour when Lieutenant Maus succeeded
In having q talk with the officer in COM
mand Of the MeXieaDs. whose captain
had meantims been killed. He was told
the Americans were taken for hOstileS
owing To the darkness. TIE Mexicans
signed paper 10 that effect.
The loss to the Americans by the un-
fortunate stair was:
Captain Crawford. MORALLY wounded.
Mr Horn, chief of scouts, and two In
dians wounded, and another severely
wounded.
Tae Mexican loss was four killed aud
five wounded.

believes the Mexicans expected 20 drive
the Americans off with their overWhelm-
ing force and secure their camp and Ell
fec's.
Capt. Crawford died on the 18th, dur
ing the march To NacoFi, where he was
buried. he was unconscious uutu his
death.
Lieutenant Maus then assumed COM
uaDd. While the troops were enroute
To NacoTf, twenty two squaWs entered
