  "A SINGULAR PHENOMENON -- We learn from the Fairfield Ledger that in 
Freestone and two or three other counties from which it has heard, the present
crop of young peaches are growing toge her. In many instances from three to five
having formed a solid cluster, and we learn from Mr. James Trim, who lives seven
or eight miles north of Hillsboro, that he has observed this singular phenomenon
likewise in several peach orchards in the northern portion of the county. This is 
a case for the consideration of ye naturalist. Give us light."
