Big Lake George was on regular
!. bender during Friday and Saturday
when the high waves were prevailing.
We learn that the waves ran 80 high
that the largest river boats were COM
PEELED to lie up in the river channel until
the angry waters grew calm. The large
steamer Chesapeake ventured out, but
the wind and waves carried her high up
on the jettees, badly breaking her guards,
and doing her other damage. The Rosa
also got aground at Volusia bar, but
sustained but little damage. The little
steamer Picolata was caught in the gale
and came near being wrecked, as her
cabin had to be cut away, besi les much
other damage that she sustained. The
DeBary tied up at Orange Bind, eight
miles above Blue Spring, and escaped
without injury. Capt. Charlie Biock

A special to the New Orleans Plea
yune, from GreenviIle, Miss, gives the
particulars of the destruction by fire OF
the extensive cotton mills belonging to
Stead & Co., of England. This was the
mill built by Capt. J. B. Cole, Of East
Palatka, in 1874, after his old mill had
been burned in April of the same year.
In '76 he sold out to Stead & Co. who
| greatly enlarged the mills. The build
ing was about 400 feet long, and with
the machinery and contents was val
ued at $132 900.

THE COLD WAVE.
THE HEAVIEST FREEZE SINCE
1885.


Trees Seriously Damaged.
As predicted IL the signal service Of
flee Friday, the cold wave reached Fiori-
da in all its power on Saturday, and the
big freeze SATURDAY. and Sunday nights,
when the thermometer ranged from 81
to IA degrees above zero in this section,
is described as the most severe since the
memorable freeze of '35, and our oldest
citizens could not recall the time when
any of the freezes of late years could
compare with this one. The orange
crop now on the trees is a total loss, but
II the orange growers with whom We
have talked say they do not think the
trees have been damaged. save perhaps
very young and tender nursery stock.
They say the oranges and the leaves will
all drop OFF, but as the sap was down and
the trees have been hardened by the fire.
quent cold snaps during the winter, they
will quickly recuperate and will produce
heavy crops next season.
Among those with whom we talked
on this subject yesterday. Col. n. l..
Hart. one of the most widely known and
successful orange growers of the state.
He picked but very few oranges from his
grove, and his crop is a total loss. He
does not think his trees are injured. In
1868 he lost part of his crop by similar
freeze, but tho trees more than compen-
stated for the loss by bearing an extra
large crop the next season. The present
cold wave, he states, is the hardest he
has seen during his residence of thirty
years here.
Prof. A. j, Wood is Of the opinion
| that no healthy trees have been serious
| ly damaged, and thinks the freeze will
result in permanent good to the orange
growers. although the loss of the present
crop will fall very heavily on great
| many.
Mr.. VIM. G. Smith. of Texas, now So
journing among us, is not discouraged,
and only wishes it was no worse in his
own state chan it is here.
Mr.. S. Strange, an old orange grower,
saws that this freeze will do no more
damage than the one fifteen years ago,
ard no trees were killed then.
| Mr.. G.. L. Harris, of Buffalo Bluff,
was in town yesterday, and reports or
anges solid at his place-solidly frozen.
Does not think the trees have been in
| jured.
Hon. G. w. Lyle, one of our represen-
tatives in the state legislature, says that
of course all the oranges are lost, but is
satisfied that no trees have been killed,
save perhaps few very young ones.
Mr.. Ben. T. Boyd. tax assessessor for
Putnam county, lost his entire crop of
oranges, as he had not shipped box,
but he is expecting to gather in the
sheckeis for his next crop. Yesterday
/ the cold weather showed no signs OF
breaking, and save the fact that the
wind was not so high. was as cold rs on

ports that the St. Johns river was frozen

A Shoemaker Wins $4,000

New York Tribune, Feb. 10th: Frederick

pue, Brooklyn, has ~suddedly found himself
possessed OF troops OF friends. Men who form
eriy paid no attention TO him, have beer ex-
ceediDRly afIahle and anxious about his wei.
fare. This change has been brought about by
what he regards hs "a piece OF exceptional good
luck. A few days ago he received notice tia,
2 lottery ticket, OF which he owncd one-ftth
part, had drawn the capital prize OF $4,000,
emitting him TO $l5, 600. He expects to re-
celve the money this week. Scharf is a poor,
Woodworking man with no family, who barely
earned his own support by his trade, and who
found his only luxury in drinking q focial
glass Of beer with some friends. One OF these,
named Meyers, one day bantered him TO buy a
lottery ticket. Scharf at fret refused, M
Meyers told him that he had bought one fifth
OF a ticket for 81, and urged Scharf TO do the
same. After some delay the shoemaker did
so. One day last week the two men got a list
OF the lucky numbers, and Schari's W 4 among
them. He proposes 10 give Meyers 81 600, snd
give q supper TO his friends. What To Go with
the rest Of the money he he's not decided, al
though a I multitude Of advisers are seeking to
give him wisdom.
