mention this week. think it useless to say that
last few days. and this is easy to be understood
when it is considered what sort of incement weather
we have had for the last month. The evenings are
still as cold and freezing as in January, and the
days hot, from twelve till four, during the
month of June. A fall of rain, which occurred on
Friday last, was considered great benefit for the
| crops, which were endangered By the temperature
Of the last two or three months But during one
night it trozc to such degree that the buds of
vines, fig, NUT and peach trees destroy ed in
great many provinces OF France, and our arvest of
all kinds Of provisions seems to be lost The grain
crops dull and the rye and the oats will produce
very little. Thus there will be an excellent
sion for American spectators to operate for Europe.

are still going on. The Hyppodroinc re-opens its
doors on Saturday next and Mabillc as we'll as the
Chateau des Fleurs, have already displayed their

opened this evening, with grand festival but,
owing to very heavy rain, the affair will be post
poned.
