FRUIT PROSPECTS.

FRUIT PROSPECTS.
The State Horticultural Society, in
it's report for July, says the straw
berry did not average more than
half a crop. The raspberry has been
much better than expected, because
of the late rains, but has been moth
ing like full crop. The blackberry
is now being marketed and the crop
is very full one. The plum (wild
goose) is now ripening, and in all the
central and northern part of the state
is an abundant one. The peach crop
is IA failure. The cherry has been an
abundant crop in the central and
northern part of the state, and
prices have been good. The pear
crop was badly injured in all parts
of the state, and there will not be
many to market. The seckel seems
to have the best crop. The grape
never was in better condition than at
present. The vines are loaded with
fruit wherever they were not injured
by the early frost. The apple crop,
the most important of our country,
will still hold out its promise of n
fair crop in most parts of the state.

grow worse and her mother was
telegraphed for, and arrived just in
time to see her daughter die.

HOT WINDS.
With the mercury cOquetting
about the 100 mark in some places
and scorching wind, Thursday of
last week was the hottie day Of the
season in several states. The Globe
Democrat says reports from Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri
points tc unprecedented hot weather,
made more uncomfortable by winds of
whitening nature, which have
blasted whole fields of growing
crops, and made the prospects of
even a one third late corn crop
dubious. Rain is needed almost
universally, and its absence makes
the situation alarming to the
farmers. In Republic county, Kan
sas, on the Nebraska state line, the
hot winds prevailed for three days,
causing vegetation to dry up rapidly.

Al gentleman living In metropolitan
suburb was strolling down me de its
streets when he came by chance across
D conple--a man and q woman-whom
he Immediately recognized al having
been hrs fellow passengers in q steamer
crossing the channel. His "reminiscences
were not Of q particularly agreeable u
ture, for he lost no time in getting them
arrested. The tale which he unfolded TO
the police commissary was as follows:
The steamer had hardly left the Eng
hsh port N route to the shores of France
when he and about 30 other companions
In misery were seized with all the
symptoms Of NAL de mer. The only trav-
eler who seemed exempt from suffering
was the man who had been arrested
He paced the deck with the utmost com
placency, now and then taking from q
bonbon box D lozenge, which he swal-
lowed with apparent satisfaction The
woman Ia whose company he was met
In Paris acted ON the steamer % III she
was o perfect stranger 20 him, and she
seemed indeed TO be the greatest victim
Of them all So intense was her suffer-
ings that the man walked up to her and
offered her one Of the lozenges, declar-
ing that they were q sovereign remedy
against seasickness. She took one, and
In the course of q few minutes said that
she was completely cured, and soon her
fellow passengers beheld her discussing
with considerable relish q plate Of sand
witches, washed down by o bottle Of
stout
One after the other they begged the
possessor of the marvellous -lozenges to
favor them with one. s'It so happens
that I am the inventor, he replied,
land as I have q few boxes with me i
shall be most happy to oblige you with
them nc the rate of 90 francs each"
The unlucky passengers, whose misery
had in the meantime rather increased
than otherwise, enthusiastically well
coined the offer, and soon all the boxes
were sold, the gentleman from the sab
urbs being the purchaser Of one
But somehow the -lozenges had NO eff
feet Not one of the buyers was TO be
seen calling for stout and sandwiches,
and the whole party did not get TO the
end of their troubles until they were
once more safely ON terra flrma The
suburban gentleman had the loaenges
analysed, and they were found to be or
binary jujubes Chance had thrown the
couple in bis way, and he told the POI
lice commissary that he was quite sure
that they had acted this comedy for the
purpose OF getting money ont OF their

suburban one must have mistaken them
for another couple, but afterward they

war he was more detested In the south
than the most rabid abolitionist in New

was threatened and that brides were
