PROGRAMME,

There is man living in Wellington
by the name Of John II. Fogle, who has
a wild grape vine growing upon his
premises which bears peaches. Our in
formant, Mr.. Hirons, was at the house
a short time ago and made an exami-
nation of the vine and fruit. The vine
was wild grape vine, which was plant
ed at the foot of a peach tree. Last
year the vine bore peaches. Last winter
the peach tree died but the vine bore a
crop OF peaches. Mr.. Hirons says they
were In clusters upon the vine. He
picked one. The surface exhibited all
the peculiarities of the peach, and on
diSecting it, found it to be a peach
clear through, stone and all. Perhaps
some of our horticulturists can explain
this freak of nature. Wellington Press.
