DISEASES OF FRUIT TREES.

s'This is peculiar season for peaches in Connecticut" says the Hartford Times. '"The crop as whole is not large. but the fruit is of good quality. The yield is generally uneven, some or chards bearing well, while others near bv are wholly or in part failures. The cause of such discrepancies it is not easy to explain. The orchards are gen. erally in healthy condition, and peach vellows. although not by any means un- known. is not very prevalent. It is diff ficult to say how far credit for this con- narrative immunity is due to the work done by the Peach Fellows commission, while it was in existence. In some oth- CT parts of the country peach trees have not done well this year. All over India ma. according to the botanist of the Purdue Experiment station, peach trees were quite generally injured this season by abnormal development of the leaves. They become thickened, much putfsd and
 blistered, with a whitish bloom on the surface of the affected portions. These

STORY OF THE MURDER.
The murder of Irory Boothby was COM
mitted Wednesday evening, September IA.
lie WAS an old resident OF North Saco and
had general oversight of the farm work at
the home of Mrs Oien Parcher. an aged
widow. The only other member of the
household was Mas Rena Merrill, do
nestle.
About seven O'Clock in the evening a
knock at the door WAS answered by Mr..
Boothby, and a gruh voice that came
from the darkness requested him to go
out and assist in raising horse that had
fallen in the road near the bridge. Re-
plying in the affirmative, he lett the door
ajar and went into the sitting room to
put his shoes ON The stranger remained
out in the darkness till Mr.. Boothby re-
apI cared.
Meanwhile, Miss Merrill had lighted a
lantern, which she handed to Mr.. Booth
by as he was passing out
"You needn't bother about a lantern, -
said the stranger, ''for have one out at
the wagon. " Mr. Boothby took his lantern
along, in spite of this suggestion. Miss
Merrill looked out Of the window as the
two men were walking down to the road,
but it was too dark for her to see any
thing more than their outline. The
| stranger was not as tall as Mr.. Boothby.
AS the evening wore on, and Mr.
Boothby did not return, the two women
became alarm ed. but wers afraid to go
out TO investigate the cause of his long
absence About nine o'clock a neighbor,
Mrs. Foss, called TO spend the night The
three women went out as far as the brow
of the hill, overlooking the bridge. but
could see nothing, and they came to the
/
the stranger TO the next town
| Early the next morning Mr. Boothby IS
ded body was found beside tho road.
| There were two bullet holes in his head.
