Up to 9 o'clock last night the city

County Superintendent of Health,

manifesto tomorrow that every cit

fact that the city is said to be in

1t seems to be conceded that the
peach crop in the mountains is a
failure, ali killed in the bud. The
apple crop 50 far, is perfectly safe,
only a few trees showing buds. This
is our chief reliance for fruit;
peaches, though grown in perfec-
tion, are a precarious crop, depend
ant upon weather contingencies, cold
snans not being unusual even late
in tie Spring.
We are indebted to Mr.. Harry
Battc;hain for very beautiful speci-
mems u skeleton leaves, of English
growth. They appear 10 be of IL e
poplar family. AL the fleshy part
of the leaf has disappeared under
the action of the wes ther, leaving a
skeleton net work of exquisite
beauty and delicacy. The anatomy
of the leaf can be studied To rare
advantage.
