FALL OF FRUIT.
On Tuesday last, a Barming fruit van was being conveyed through
Southborough, and when near the "Imperial Hotel" one of the wheels came
to pieces, and the fruit—raspberries and red currants—was scattered in
all directions. Considerable labour was expended in gathering it
together, but notwithstanding the vigilant exertions of those in charge,
the juveniles, who speedily congregated feasted to their heart's
