difl'ercnee betty. cn the present spring of 1837, and that 6:
the frig-litfully devastating year 1799. The trees remainr
nearly dormant till the 21st of May in both years ; but
t!i;
concomitants of 1799 were rain and cold persistingil the
September, when we saw the first crop of hay rotting in t t
fields of the midland counties, and the stem of the whea

rise in the price of the quartern loaf to ls. 101 d. in Lo

fearful results. But in the present spring we have iid:

Conversing with an able and truly practical farmer an
the 27th inst., as we passed over some miles of fine cowl
wherein—on different soils—vegetation full of healto
brought conviction of the power of all the best crop
pass througha long protracted period of very severe Cold
without injury, the question was started whether or not,
under any circumstances, the most forward wheats cottlo,o.
seen in bloom bn old May-day I. What say our rellecti°l
readers ? What, we ask, would result from five degrees
increase of heat during the ensuing 14 days (i. c. 70 deg
mid-day, and from 50 to 55 deg. throughout the e,,a"'
Iltbh
night), with warm and rather abundant showers ?
blessings are not of unusual occurrence; and even P
while we write, the thermometer shows 61 dew. at four
o de.
p.m. ; clouds gather, and the mercury of the barometer
clines from '29 to 80 cents.
Apples promise to be most abundant, pears are 10,1 till
rich in bloom, and seem to set fairly. A mist and 1;1°d
advancing from S.E., at noon, rather furnishes a hint

that 'phcennmenon termed
,c blight," which, however),
produced not by flights of insects, but by atmospheri
tluence upon the juices of the shoots and leaves, Iv"iv
re
renders them a delicious repast to those marauders that ao
ever ready for their prey. We are earnest to impreoul,
the agriculturist the great advantages, in respect to Pr%
as well as enjoyment, that would result from increased
chard planting-, and the universal culture of the vine, Wltei
a view to the home manufacture of cider, perry, and elict:
lent British wine. These are subjects which, occasion 1,7;
vouring, we must enter upon practically ; and, thanks -la
Mr. Hoare and his excellent Treatise on the Vine, it vict
:be easy to show that every wall of every country cottab;i
shed, or outhouse, might be employed to procure an 61311'
dant supply of grapes with certainty of success.

singer of ballads for life, in which, if he did not sing verl °to
we dare say he would show considerable tact in pocketigniog
the proceeds ; and the third, as a member of some ' strmuch
company of players, among whom, if he did not take as
