MILFoRD, Feb, Yesterday, though
Sunday, was a busy day with the section
hands of the D., M. & v. railroad, of
this town. All day long they were kept
at work on the bridge that is being built
where the washout occurred, Just north
of Milford. They are not TO trust this
place any more to trunk, but are put
ting up substantial bridge. A small
force of section hands was also at work
at point about one mile south of Mil
ford, where the water which had collected
in low piece of land threatened to do
some damage to the railroad. A trunk
was put under and the water run over to
the branch beyond.
Yesterday was the prettiest day that we
have had for many weeks, and every
one seemed to be out basking in the sun
shine. The churches were we'll attended
both at morning and evening services.
The reports that have been sent in Of
the peach prospects for this section, are
still unchanged, and no peaches of any
amount are expected, except in few fa-
vored spots.

Smyrna Times, Feb. 10.
The question of the life or death Of the
peach crop is now one that is agitating
the business men Of the peninsula, some
affirming quite decidedly that the buds are
killed while the others express hope
only to the contrary, not having, they
say, thoroughly examined their trees. II
dead it was the cold weather Of last week.
for the concurrent testimony up to that
time was that the buds were uninjured.
Several of our farmers who have been in
the fruit business for years give the opin.
ion on examination that the crop is
"nipped in the bud,n but when we come
to remember, the same winter pre-
diction has been made before, when
the spring brought us blossoming
trees and the summer rich fruitage.
| The fate of the peach is turned, il turned
| it is, ON the result of the low tempera.
ture. 1t is not once in ten years that the
| crop is winter killed, the last time being
the last two days Of 1880 and the first day
| of 1881, when the thermometer registered
81, l0' and 81 respectively below, at least
this was the best average of the mercury
| register of the time. Last week the best
average was q below Friday and 10 below
on Saturday morning, though they ranged
from zero to 50 and 10o below, but there
was only thermometer here and there
that went more than A. below zero. The
peach has stood A. and s. below, we think,
without being entirely destroyed, but
never TO-. One of our farmers, W. M.
Boyer, tells us that two years ago his
thermometer (the same one as this year
and hanging in the same place. regis.
tered zero and that he had good crop Of
peaches, and last week 1t only got II
below, not enough, unless there were
other conditions of influence, to cause q
Wholesale destruction of the crop. Never
theless, the concurrent testimony OF
those who have examined the buds is that
they are black and dead. An examination
of DR.. Ridgeley's orchards at Dover re-
ports them dead at Camden the mercury
reached 81 below, and the crop dead /;
and the postscript TO business note
from DIR. Dawson of Frederick, says
Thermometer touched 140 below zero at
daybreak on Saturday, but soon bounded

Special Correspondence of Gazette and journal.
MILFoRD, Feb. 12..-The heaviest rain
fall that has visited these parts for long
while fell here yesterday. A steady rain
fell all day, and as consequence, the tide
in our creek was higher than has been
known for several years, Overlooking its
banks on all sides, though little damage
is reported.
A trunk passing under the D. M. & V.
railroad, about l. miles from Milford,
gave way yesterday afternoon, and large
chasm was soon caused by the rushing
waters. No trains reached here after the
mail train at noon. All the section hands
of force of 25 men, were Immediately
put to work, and were late at night max
ing the break safe for the trains to pass
over. Considerable damage has beon done
in several other places along the line of
this railroad by the water. Fear was felt
about the bridge near the Milford depot,
as the water was cutting away the earth
in many places around it, but it stood
firm.
Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1886-02-18

The Centrevillo Record says: Although
the thermometer has been down to zero
and from 80 to A. below, it is the opinion
of many fruit growers that peaches are
not injured to any extent in this locality,
for the reason that there is little or no
sap in the wood. Had the weather been
sufficiently warm previous to the cold
weather to make the sap rise the crop
would likely have been injured.
