DAMAGE TO THE ORANGE CROP.
Fully Fifty Per Cent OF the Crop a
Total Loss.

Melrose, Fla, Sept. 29.-The rainfall Of
the storm this week could not have been
less than four or five inches, and it has
filled up the lakes to higher point than
they have been for ten years past. The
velocity of the wind at times must have
reached sixty or seventy miles an hour,
and great damage was done to shade trees
In town and TO some of the buildings on
the lake front. The Whitehead packing
house was thrown from the blocks, and
Mai. Willis residence let down at one
end. But the greatest damage has
been done TO the orange crop. Fifty per
cent. of the fruit has been ruined, one
fourth being blown of and as much more
being ruined on the trees with thorns
The force of the wind was so great that
some of the fruit was thrown fifty feet.
The trees in some places are greatly dam
aged by, having the limbs twisted and
bruised. The damage to the fruit cannot
be accurately estimated for several days
yet, but il will not fall far short of 80 per
cent. and may 20 higher.
