THE WEATHER AND CRors.--Tbc weather which
has generally been uncommouly cold this spring
has lately wheeled about very suddenly and is nov
"a warm rs the most torpid invalid could DESIRE
Vegetation Of all kinds Is now suffering extremely
fom the drought We have had mush lcs. rain
than usual for the last three months and none e,
more than a fortnight
The grass crop very light, Pastures loa
parched and barren, owing both to the droughtaul
to the fact that the roots were sadly winter.kile
The amount Of stock kept this summer must be
below the average The hay crop will, from yyr,
ent Indications be much lighter than in any q ihs
preceding years. Corn has come up well anil as
the breadth planted is much larger than ever ts-
fore, plentiful harvest Is anticipated. Tie
amount Of land planted and sowed this spring far
exceeds that Of former seasons. Large tracts
Of moving aud pasturage where the grass has lesn
killed out, are being ploughel and planted, with
grain and vegetables, principally with potatoes
Fruit trees have blossomed fully, and, having e.
capped fosts, there is hope for abundant harvest.

TO THE FARMERS OF VERMONT.

WHERE SHALL rnEr ISsuRE.-Having Of late
been led to make some inquiry and Investigation
as to the cheapest medium Of reliable insurance for
farmers; and on careful investigation, am decided
in my preference for the ''FarmerS Insurance
Company" doing business a. Montpelier The
grounds of this preference will plainly appear in
brief comparison of its merits with those of other
Companies in this State. From reliable informa-
ton, learn that this Company has now been in
successful operation little over five years-has
issued between thirteen and fourteen thousand pol
ieies-- insuring property to the amount Of over
eleven millions Of dollars SO far, all must admit
its success has been unparalleled by any institution
In the State. But what commends this Company
to my favor, probably, farmer, is It's system OF
classifying property into two elassesi one being
purely Farmers Glass; In such, nothing but
dwelling-houses, barns, sheds and out-bnildings,
personal property in like building, are insured
The other, the "Merehants and Mechanics Glass,
in which most kinds Of other property are insured
But it ia Of the Farmers Class" that we design
more particularly to speak For the past Ave years
tho writer Of this article has been insured in this
Company, and the cost Of insuring my buildings

The Austrian and Prussian cabinets are at

and England employ corps of refugees on or

that it is impossible to read the documents Of

have just visited the delightful town Of
Bristol Rhode Island, and have rarely seen
place that has greater attractions for
Summer residence. The population is
about six thousand the streets are planted
with fine trees, and the houses are general
l. in good taste The prospect here Of the
Narrasansett Bay, the harbor, and the ia.
nous Mount Hope, the residence Of King
Philip, is very fine. The Railroad to Prov
Hence, to open LIST Of June, will make this
pretty town very thriving place, and no
mean rival of Newport. A fine Depot is
nearly finished, and n Custom House is in
course Of erection. The Congregational
lists and Me,hodsts are both building fine
spacious church cdfces. The famous D.
Wolf mansion has just been put into perfect
order, and Mr.. Vars, so iavoraby known as
the host of the Ferry House, has pitched
his camp in it a. landlord. The house has
few r ivals in the country for spacious and
elegant accommodations. Ii is lighted up
by gas, which has been introduced into tho
town by Mr.. Geo. Ii. Norman, of Newport.
Both lie fishing and sea bathing here arc
excellent, and few places think hold out
greater inducements TO the families desirous
OF residence for the Summer season, than
The beautiful town Of Bristol Here are
Episcopal, Baptist, Congregational, and
Methodist Churches, able Physicians, and
good Schools. II Bristol Phenix.

nal has the following
"No one can look at the last Congress
without being struck with the difference in
character and in strength between it and
the Congress of few years ago The diff
ference i, more painfully evident in the
Senate than in the House, for it was in the
Senate that the modern giants Of The re-
public displayed their power. There are
few men of distinguished ability in the Se-
nate, and more of most respectable talents,
but there are no successors of Clay, Cal
houn and Webster, and few of Southard,
Preston, and Wright. Clayton and Scwarl
are indeed worthy of the Senate in its best
days, and so, is Bell but they no longer
control its deliberations. They are voted
down at every call Of party, and their
speeches, which 60 into the forming Of
public opinion throughout the land, produce
no effect upon the action of the men to
