At night the air became colder and
the inciting snow was turned into
ice. During the night the tempera
ture fell to twenty-, seven degrees.
All the fruit trees, consequently,
were coated with ice from the moist
ure upon them. But in spite of these
unlavorable circumstances it is be
lieved that but little additional dam
age was done to the peaches and
pears. Yesterday morning it was
estimated that about fifty per cent,
of the buds bad survived the frost
of Saturday night, when it was five
or six degrees colder than last night.
There is, therefore, still hope that the
peach and pear crops will be only
a partial failure. Apples are proba
bly but little injured, as they are not
so much developed. Strawberries,
however, it is stated, a.e killed, at
least all except the more backward
ones. We may perhaps, in a day or
two, be able to give more encourag
ing reports. It is certainly to be
hoped so, as the whole, or even a
partial, failure of the fruit crop, io
this section involves an almost in
calculable loss.
