Fruit Damaged.

The nnseasonably warm weather that came
at intervals during the months of February
and March so forced the fruit buds that the
exceptional thing of cherry, plum and peach
trees in full bloom on the first day of April
resulted. Following upon great storm that
came up out of the southwest last week, came
an exceptional fall of temperature which has
almost certainly wrought damage to the fruit.
Friday at o'clock in the evening the Their
mometer registered 70 degrees here; twenty
six hours afterwards, or at o'clock on Sat.
urday evening it stood at %, fall OF A de-
grees. Ice formed here nearly an inch thick
under the most favorable conditions on Sat-
urday night; thin ice formed again on Sun
day night and, what was probably more
harmful, q heavy frost.
This was, likely, winters last effort but it
was a damaging one.

at the Crescent club saturday night showed
that less than six members were IN favor OF the

The principal objection seems 10 be 70 the Con-
