s. }. Frost, Postmaster at Merritt. on
Indian rrer, VINO has been North on
vacation. brought with him curiosity
IN the shape of dwarf orange tree. 1t
was imported by Mr.. Frost from China at
an expense which exceeds its actual
weight in gold. 1t has the general ap-
peacance of a we'll developed orange tree,
- DUb eIRuC Inches DlEn, ABOUT INtlN6
inches across the branches at the broad
est point, and 10 bearing. Mr.. Frost says
that he imported it more as novelty
Than anything else, as it is not by any
means profitable. He owns profitable
orange grove on Indian river, and Will
keep this lttle tree as an ornament. He
saws the fruit is about the size and flavor
Of the tangarlne orange when fully ripe,
but mat each tree will not bear more than
hon ia tal
bearing.
Tallahassee TalIahassean: A swarm of
yellow Jackets have built u nest in the
walls of Mrs. Y. G. Longs residence and
nave taken complete possession of an
upper room. William Pells, for 81 in
United States currency, took the job yes
terday to seal up crack in the wall with
cement and doom the little singers to
everlasting confinement. The first rap Of
the trowel on the wall was a signal for
the entire colony TO come ont on tour of
inspection to investigate the thick
ness Of the hide of a negro poll
tc!an. They chucked him under tn
chin, tickled his fiat nose, hunched
him in the ribs, stroked him down the
back, made skating rink of his sh1ns
and played hide and seek in his kinky
BAR, while William grated around the
room, danced an African jig, cut the
pigeon wing, knocked off the double shut
tle back step. and finally beat an ignp-
miuious retreat. William is taking hoji-
day to-day. He looks like a blOated bond
holder. and the enterprising little yellow
jackets they are still engaged in keeping
house with Mrs. Long.

ing owned by Rev. j. G. Waters and oc-
cupied by colorsd man named Dunbar

on the stock. He subsequently, trans
fefred the ownership of the stock to his
son, which Of Itself invalldated the policy,
but he did not know it. When the alarm

great, arrived at the scene in time
to ascertain that nothing had beel iaft
inside the store except an opened Geg or
can OF kerosene oil aud a few canned
goods, the whole not worth more taau $25

sumed. Moreover, they arrived there in
time to ascertain that the origin OF the

from West Rich avenue, and either eee-
