PORT CLINTON-The u. S. Depart
ment OF Agriculture has been making
some interesting findings in the orch
ards OF this section and the latest
trouble reported by the growers Is a
new bark contention which Is causing
the death OF some OF the peach trees.
The bark becomes effected with brown
spots and Is covered with a gummy
substance. and in about two or three
seasons the trees die. There is no
fungus disease known to which the
cause can be contributed and the de
partment will make extensive investi-
cations as to the cause and effects. n.
y. Gould OF the L. S. Bureau OF Plant
Industry has forwarded to Washing
tor for inspection several specimens
of the effected wood which he found
In the George Hollinshead orchards,
just west OF this city. Some OF the
growers are OF the opinion that the
trouble arises from an advanced wood
growth In the fall Of the year and that
the winter weather then produces an
effect which causes the trouble.

Wedding Anniversary Surprise.

"eou'n9 anniversary surprise.
Mrs. J. D. Parnell was pleasantly
surprised last Friday afternoon by
thirty of her friends who had learned
that Feb. 10Th, 1890 was her wedding
day. Each guest brought a gift, and
when Mrs. Parnell had somewhat re-
covered from the surprise of their un-
announced arrival, she proceeded to
open the parcels which were piled up-
on the dining table. They varied in
size from ring box to a shoe box,
but as they were opened, and the
many layers of wrappings removed,
the same gift appeared in each box
one penny. The last parcel however,
proved to be a set of silver tea
spoons. In humorous presentation
speech Mrs. J. A. Curran explained
the absence of the husbands from this
party by saying, that while it was GUS
tomary twenty-five years ago, to in
vite the men to weddings, in this day
of woman's pre-eminence it is not con-
sidered at all necessary. Mrs. Otter
ness read an original poem, which was
greatly enjoyed by all, and presented
the "bride' with a bouquet of old fash
ioned flowers Mrs. Parnell expressed
her thanks for the gifts and promised
to add the requisite number of pen
MES from her own purse to buy a
silver thimble and use it in memory
Of her silver wedding day.
After social hour delicious re-
freshments were served. The pres
ence of Mrs. Parnell's sister, Mrs.
Christensen Of Amery, Wis, added to
the pleasure Of the occasion.
