THE HARVEST IN FRANCE. The accounts received from
the various parts of France lead to the belief that the crops
this year will give a most abundant produce. The rain
which fell some short time back, far from doing harm, has
kept the growing corn in a most desirable state of freshness,
and its luxuriance is at present grate unusual. As to the
vines, the growers are agreed in opinion that the frosts
which occurred late in the spring were attended with hut
littie damage. The news from the departments, of the
state of the vineyards, contiaues to be highly satisfactory,
and hopes seem at last, well-founded of a lair supply of
this year.
NOVELTY IN BUILDING.—A neat cottage is at present
in progress on the property of Barkerland, in this neigh-
bourhood. The front wall is. built of sandstone, but its
outer side is lined with slate, not the ordinary slips uied in
roofing, but slabs ten feet long by about three in breadth,
and ot• a proportionable thickness. The slabs were cut tn.
order at the Penrhyn slats quarries, North Wales, and
brought here by sea. Being quite impervious to damp,
the front, wall _will not •reqaire stoothing, and from the
hardness of the material may last for ages.. These slabs
look very well, and when oiled will present a similter ap-
pearance to that beautiful building material, the Moffat
stout-,---Dtmfrieo Courier,
