MANY PEACH TREES KILLED

By the Blizzard and the Long, Cold, Backward SprKns-A Lusus Nature in Woodbridge.
 Little Nellie R. Garfield of Woodbridge, granddaughter of Henry 0. Hickox, picked 8 crab apple blossom this week which excited
 wonder in all who saw it, and many of the townspeople came to see it. It was three times as large as an ordinary blossom of the
 kind ard as large as full blown rose, and it
 was of an exquisitely pure white color. On 1 the same twig were tiny crab apples already well started.
 The long cold spell has given the strawber. I Y crop setback. There are not few peo- pie in Woodbridge who raise strawberries, Bethany does not compare with the yield in North Haven, where large quantities are l raised for the markets in this city and New York. Farmer Judge of the east side, Wood- bridge, makes 8 speciality of raising mann moth strawberries of fine flavor and is quite successful, as his past crops of the berry tes- tify. He also raises more blackberries prob- sbly than any other farmer in Woodbridge The long cold spell has proved disastrous to the prospects of the peach crop, in this part of the State at least. Large numbers of the peach trees in Woodbridge and Bethany were killed either by the blizzard or the long ! stay of the ice upon the ground and the cold, backward spring. It is hoped that the trees throughout the State have not, as rule, suffered az much as those in Woodbridge and Bethany, for if so it will be serious dis. | couragement to our peach growing interest, which has greatly revived in the last four or | five years, the yield in Connecticut last year
 being very fine and Of considerable impor- ! tauea

A Remarkable Case.

Mrs s--, of -, Mass. WAS so re- duced by a very severe attack of tic-dou1- oureux, and from the effects of the power full drugs necessarily given to relieve her sufferings, that she was attacked with black cholera morbus, and for days laid in an un- conscious condition, life being sustained by champagne. As a last resort she was sent to Boston hospital, so weak that she had to be moved on bed, and her physician said it was almost impossible tor her to recover. At the hospital they began using Imperial Gra-
 mum; one-half teaspoonful at a time, which after several trials was retained, and the quantity increased, until the patient after four weeks treatment, during which she liv- ed entirely on Imperial Granum, was dis charged from the hospital comparatively well, and so built up that in eight weeks
 she endured successfully severe surgical
 operation, and to day is carrying on large
 business in Boston, which calls for continued
 and exhausting work, and is, to use her own
 words, ''in perfect health. July Cottage
