Chill has gained nothing by her silly
adoption OF the gold standard, with no
gold money TO fill the place Of a circu-

going rapidly from bad to worse. The
depressed condition Of our trade is
such that we are 10 longer visited by

YER OF our mines was freely exchanged
for the articles that we needed from

be almost al a standstiil. Meanwhile
the debts Of our people are increasing,

Are the Fruit Trees Damaged9

tits the general impression among
those who are posted in such mat
tiers that the peach and other fruit
trees were badly damaged during the
present cold snap. The peach trees
were the worst sufferers, and if the
trees are not entirely killed many
people will be greatly surprised. The
heavy mantle of snow has been a
great protection to the growing
wheat crop, and prevented it from
being frozen out entirely.

comes from this form of sport. Sew

averted and one man was SOundly
cursed for driving into sled and
causing it to upset. 1t looked like
there would be a general scrap but he
went on and hostilities were averted.
