SrArE OF TIE Caors Since the sailing of
the HIbernia The weather has been rather vari.
able. There have been numerous shower Of
rain, and although the atmosphere has been
cool, we believe it has been un.avofabc to the
ripening of the crops, which ia this neighbor-
hood look well and promise to be very abundant
We are sorry to say the potato disease has made
r e
It's appearance to an alarming extent in the sis.

hased cautiously, and prices were but little az

,uch commotion last year. has reappeared this
