Fruit Badly Damaged

WYOMING, April 15th.--It is generally
admitted that fruit was badly damaged
by the freezing weather last week, and,
while the exact result will not be known
for several days, IL is believed that .
tWo-thirds Of the peach crop is gone,
while pears are badly hurt. Fortunately
the weather was dry when the freeze
came, but as ice formed on two successive
nights, the tender shoots could not
stand the test, except where the buds
were not fully opened, and where the
buds had not developed much 81 the
fruit will be saved.
