its sarcasm, and his second for its distor-

let our case 90 to the iury-the people.
But before doing So / will assure my
friend who tells us that he has name
of which he is not ashamed but who
lacks the courage to give il, that he is in
error in supposing that l have lost my
temper. the fact being that ! am more
amused than vexed; amused at the
manner in which my friend can back and
fill in his attempt at argument, at ms
ability to distort facts and the argument
of another, and his inclination to plead
the baby act in the end. In view OF the
fact that his distortion OF my statements
NAV have resulted from a faulty memory
/ will suggest that he place our letters
side by side and compare Tor himself, our
statements. and see whether he has not
been guilty Of the charged though II may

a descendant OF Ananias, and beg his

ANOTHER HEAVY FROST.

As a Result Fruit and Berries Have Been
Damaged.
Throughout the entire State last night
there was frost and some Of the fruit
growers believe that the early berries
and fruit are badly damaged. The frost
has also caused great damage to the
peach crop which three days ago gave
promise Of being the heaviest for some
time. In the vicinity Of Seaford the
frost caused damage to a great extent
among the peaches where the foliage
was light.
The work Of the frost is similar to that
Of May Sth, 1891, when the crop was
most promising and almost entirely
destroyed.
