Fruit and Vegetables.:
There is now no question about the
almost total destruction of tbe peach
crop in this vicinity by the recent cold
weather. Mr. L. W. Howard, who is
the principal peach grower in this sec
tion, says that his crop is ruined. There
are yet a few pe&ghes hanging on the
trees, but these have been so chilled by
the cold that they wil soon drop off.
Other orchards on the Sound present
the same appearance. Beans, the ten
derest and most susceptible to cold of
tie early vegetables, are killed ; while
Peag have suffered materially, but about
half a crop will be realized. Other
vegetables are not badly injured.
