The tale Of woe with which
the average Delewarian usually
entcrtains the public at this sea-
son has been changed to paeans
of praise, in their delight over the
prospect of a large peach crop
this year. The cold waves Of
late, which it is thought, have
killed the peas, injured the pc
tatoes and badly damaged the
cabbage around Norfolk, were
not ''ill winds that blew nobody
good" but to them the Delewar-
ian attributes the blessing now
almost within their grasp, a big
peach crop. The cold waves
driving buck the sap. they say,
has saved them and in the cxu-
bcranco Of their joy over their
bright prospects, their intellec-
tural vision has been so much
frightened also, that they are
enabled to calculate even as to
the exact basket they will gath
or and put 1t down at 100000.
We congratulate our brethren
up the Peninsula and are happy
to be able to say to them, that a
basket Of our staple. the sweet
potato, which never fails to
yield q suitable return for labor,
will be ready to be supplied to
thcm as @ pleasing antidote,
when the succulent peach has
been INDUCED in by them ad
nauseam.
