effort is being made to have jury sum
moned at once, to pass upon the sanity or
insanity of Thomas l.. Primrose, the
father who, while in fit of rage over %
cents, the price of load Of sand, seriously
shot his son, u young man of % years of
age. The mind Of the man is, it is thought,
seriously affected, though some believe
that 1t is only temporary insanity, the re-
suit of an unbridled temper. The action
has been inaugurated for the purpose Of
having Primrose sent to an asylum, The
young man who was so seriously wounded
is improving.

The decided frosts of Saturday and Sum
day mornings, it is claimed. have been felt
by the young peaches, and fruit growers
are anxiously awaiting the final outcome
of the present cool spell OF weather. The
young peaches have not as yet shed their
caps which form great protection to the
fruit, But for this fact the effects
Of the recent frosts would have been most
disastrous. Then, too, the foliage has
served as great protection. Several days
must pass before full reports of the injury
by the frosts can be received.
