The first snow ever seen here fell last night and

Gainesville Daily Neps' Orange groves on
paper have not been materially injured. 1t Is
said by some persons that the oranges are not
injured by frost We presume they mean the
ones that were shipped month ago. The
as it was here, and, outside of the damage to the
orange crop still remaining on the trees, we do
not believe the damage is very great. All the
trees that have been nipped will put out in the
spring and make a more vigorous growth than
ever.

of food for such an institution lust now, In the
form r. thousands of thawed out sweet and sour
or.1ges. A talk with some of our oldest or
ange growers, last evening, has satisfied us that
we need have no apprehension OF the loss of or
ange trees that are above two years old and in a
healthy condition. The trees had gone into win
ter quarters by the downward flow Of the sap
some weeks since, and those who have right
to know assert that the temperature would have
had to 90 almost down to zero to have had a
disastrous effect.
Santa Rosa Neacs: The new hotel and big
mill are being pushed forward as fast Is the
weather will permit. Mr.. Amos thinks he will
open the hotel In March, and the big mill will
not be far behind. 1t is not every one who
knows what a narrow escape Milton had from
fire this week. The roof of Ollingers saloon on
the wharf took fire from a spark from the flue
the other day, and but for the early discovery of
the danger and the prompt action of Mr. David
Mitchell, the lower end of Milton would have
been laid in ashes. Mr.. Mitchell reached the
roof from a window and stopped the incipient
confagration.

stated the other day that the cold had killed,
probably, all the nursery trees in the State.
He loses himself from 700, 90 TO 1000 900 trees
-. 1t Is the opinion of large shipping firm in
this city that the recent cold has killed all the
new growth, or wood, of the orange trees ;
which, if 80, will prevent them from bIOssoming
next season, and consequently there will be q
very small or no crop.
