It is estimated that from the Georgia orchards of J. H. Hale of Glastonbury about seventy-five million peaches were marketed thls year. S1O.O .OOO worth of ice was used in cooling the refrigerator cars in which the Hale peaches were shipped. That they were most excellent fruit all who have tasted can testify. Now for the Delaware and Jersey peaches and the big baskets at lower prices. There's no fruit like a peach. New Hartford Tribune.

 Boinay, who was hung for murder last spring, if he had have been hard prisoner to manage, would have still been serving his sentence for burglary in Danemora prison and playing hls clarionet.
 Fred Webster, who was pardoned for good behavior last spring and liberated from Charleston prison was murdered by his brother last week. If he had not have behaved he would yet be in prison and alive.
