Heavy Frost and Slight Freeze Wednesday Night May Hurt Fruit.

Although Wednesday was cold and cloudy it cleared up in the evening and that night a heavy frost and light freeze occurred that is apt to prove «,i fte injurious to fruit. Ice a fourth of an inch thick was over small vessels of water and the landscape war painted a perfect white by Jack Frost, who has shown no such activity-since the latter part of February. Plum and pear trees and in some cases cherries and apples were in full blossom and if they escape it will be quite remarkable. The sun arose this Thursday morning bright and clear and the day is some warmer.
