Attwo o'clock this afternoon phe-
nomenon, somewhat strange and singu-
lar for this latitude and this time of
year, appeared in the sky in the form of

then taken to indicate frost in the upper
air.
L. Hoering of this city left at THE
CHRONICLE Office this morning, where it
may now be seen, a Seeding cherry tree
of this years growth, the seed having
been planted during the past winter.
The singular thing about this particular
cherry tree is its precocity. It is in
bloom, with one well developed, full
blown blossom which bids fair to evolve
itself into cherry.
