COLONIAL JOURNALS.

(FROM THE di`EBEC GAZETTE, JULY lb; 1517.)
bnring the Tait 'fOrtnight, the weather in this
bistrict has been favourable to agrienitbre ; warm.
with occasional rains. The progrest of vegeta-
"tion has accordingly been very rapid. Wheat,
son about the middle of .111oy, begins to shoot
.rut in ea`r. Our repiirts from different parts of the.
Jsistrict, are rather favotti•able than otiberwise.=
We think, generally, that vegetation is fArtilbr
advanced thap at the same peHOd last yeah'.
