Tee Caere IN /CERT.—During the last fortnight

cold cutting winds from the north east. On Friday and So.

Its blooming. Oafs generally look promising, but they are '
thin to places. Barley, although it suffered from the
cold dry weather of April, improved with the 'hewers,
but some of the backward pieces are not very promieing.
Beans eft short, bat Winona well. Peas, which were look-
ing well, are now suffering from an attack of dolphin ; and
the straw of all descriptions of corn will be short. Haying

to be about Hamer, and willnot. indeed, be an average.
Potatoes grow very fan. and promise a large crop, should
they escape the blight. Wurrel is very uneven ; some pieces
looking exceedingly well, while others show a poor plant.

A GOOD Snor.—Abram lien, Bag., of cricketing
oekbrity, whilst practising with other members of the Burton-
on-Trent Rifle Club, was one day onexpectedly joined by a
bevy of ladies, one of whom requested to NO some of Hr.
Beer's shooting. A two-inch bun' seye being plead, four
successive shoes were fired at 110 yards. Every shot went
through the same hole, a little to the left of the centre,
without breaking the outer edge of the p.m. On another
occasion, whon lunch bod been disentaed on the banks of

a fat-bettoracd fishing boat was struck, the Ord abet, for a
wager, at 300 yards. A swan was shot through the head at
170 yards; a deck feeding upon weir at 320 yards, and a

FALLING DOWN A WELL.—On Tuesday last a
singular aocident occurred to the wife of one of the con-
stabulary recently appointed in the district of Ellum. It
appears that the poor woman had occasion to draw tome
water from a well on the premises. and by some means which
she is unable to explain, she fell bead foremost into the well.

on the neighbours assembling, the woman was attempteto

the tope, sod fell with a crash to the bottom ; the rope, how-
ever, by some mesas woe twisted round her, and the was
thus brought with eafety to the top of the well. The only
damage she sustained was a cowl'," drenehing.—Yetiteth
