ger, of the Sth, speaking of the crops, says:--
Two weeks ago., our planters were living IN
clover: the slight damage occasloned by the late
frost had wholly disappeared under The influence
of the genial rays of a radiant SUM- week has
hardly elapsed, and now they are up to their necks
in weeds of the worst kind For the last four days
we have experienced diluvian rains-ducks have
been seen looking for a shelter. Such weather,

overlooked grounds, if the hot weather sets in too
suddenly, and from the rapid growth OF the para
sitical weeds"
