BETTER NEWS FROM THE CENTER:
The Columbus Journal of this morning
TUESDAY 7th) says: a,t - - + -.
"Capt. ,Milligan brought to our Office
several samples of,wheat taken from Fair.
field and, Franklin counties, yesterday
Some of the samples brought, growing OF
low grounds, are injured by the frost, but
the majority is in good order, showing, .
plump berry and green stalk. The Cap
tain says the blow about the destructiveness
of the frost is principally moonshine, the
crops not being much injured" sl7;'

csEaly wheat is not much injured. We
are informed by an old farmer that it i
yet too soon to tell whether wheat is fatal
j, injured, but that in few days the ef
feet, if the grain is effected, will be visible
Corn is injured, and SO is ,late wheat, po
-tatoes, and many other staple articles. The
alarm, hoyeyers may prove premature in
great degree, and it is really to be hopee
that it will. A good warm shower of rair
within a few days will help the stricker
grain wonderfully, and may revive It : en-

. The Buffalo eommefciaa1 says the frost
ia that vicinitywas very severe. IL says
lathe out door grapes and early yegela7
bles, such as cucumbers, beans, tomatoes
and potatoes suffered severely Grapes
having protection and Southern exposure,
generally escaped SO far as fruits are
concerned, we hear that. plums are some
what damaged, and in some instances lost;
but pairs, apples, and; cherries are mot
much injured. The very. heavyafoliage of
the fruit trees have protected them, and
we do not anticipate serious loss among
the more hardy varieties Strawberries
aud the closed blossoms seem to be all right
but the smaller berries and open blossoms
are enipped.- Tomatoes, scucumberss and
beans are. slaughtered. There is. no dis
