the season s the source of universal remark In New
England Farther South and West less complaint Is
( made The crop Of Wheat ia Ohio and Maryland pro
misses a full average while the Editor OF the United
States Gazette who has been travelling in the Interior Of
Pennsylvania estimates the wheat crop OF that state only
one fourth of the usual average la this vicinity corn
but out of the ground. The Newburyport Herald has
the following upon the appearance vegetation In that
vicinity
The spripp continues rather backward, but few
moist and warm days would bring II up very fast Inc
cherry and peach have been IN iu bloom lor TWO
or DAYS past and the pears and puns begin 10 un
fod lint the apples show immediate signs OF bloom
inc The latest period at which the apple trees have
been in full bloom within recollection, was on the
let day of June which occurred In 1885 or 1880 we are
not certain which.
The peach trees in the gardens in town as far as we
have observed are uniformly dead except at the tops
and tops look bright and thrifty but another Winter
will probably finish almost every peach tree now stand
ing which is more than three years old
The prospect of good crop OF irut as 10 usual Ia
backward seasons is very good

and cut of the crop of fruit great many trees we
had then which the young pears were formed
big large beans which unin ured by the iros
