Last Friday and Saturday were real
winter days. snow falling at intervals
throughout the day on Saturday, and
by Sunday morning the ground was
covered by a heavy mantle of snow.
But with the first warm rays from the
rising sun the snow fled away; and we
are told by many that no great amount
of damage was done the fruit crop in
this section. This we sincerely hope is
the case, for the prospects of an abun-
dance of fruit of all kinds had been ex-
ceedingly good.
