EFFECTS OF THE LATE FRosr.- Sufficient time
has now elapsed to enable observers to form
tolerable correct opinion as to the extent of
damage occasioned by the severe frost Of last
Saturday and Sunday aud from a careful ex-
animation Of the numerous accounts furnished
by the newspapers, covering the whole ground
from Western New York to St, Louis, we come
TO the conclusion that the representations first
received 10y telegraph, were generally much ex-
aggeratcd The entire belt of country extend
ing from the North Eastern States to the ex-
treme Northwest, seems to have been more
or less affected, though very unequally, even at
places but little distant from each other. In
isolated spots most kinds of vegetation were
killed outright but as a general rule, the crops
have not suffered beyond recovery. Corn and
potatoes, when but little above the ground,
will bear a severe frost without receiving any
permanent injury, and the crop will suffer no
essential decrease. Wheat does not appear to
have been much effected According to ore
authority, the wecvil and grasshoppers have
suffered most An old farmer in the Genesee
Valley speaks of late spring frost in 1916,
by which the stalks of wheat were actually
frozen yet the yield was undiminished. Fruit
in this State, as elsewhere, has sprcbably suffer
ed more than anything else and much Of it will
be lost.
In Ohio, so far as can be judged, the cold
was felt with greatest severity,-corn, fruit
and vegetables having been cut off to a great
extent. Yet we are pleased to observe that
the latest accounts from that direction, put
the actual damage at a rather low figure The
Cleveland Plajndeoltr says that fruits have
suffered considerably, but more than an average
crop is expected. Grapes have suffered most
In Michigan the accounts arc similar but the
Detroit Adrcrfjser thinks that State has suffer.
ed as little as any at the Northwest. OF Illinois
the Louisville Journal says There were
heavy frosts in the vicinity of Springfield, ILL.,,
Friday and Saturday nights, but the damage
to crops is considered slight No damage was
done 10 Missouri. In Wisconsin, fruit was
much injured. The Madison J0urRal thinks
that corn and wheat are sufficiently advanced
to be seriously damaged. The intelligence from
Lower Canada is quite unfavorabe

WASHINGTON CoUNTY.-The Wool Trade is
now being prosecuted in this county with con-

Several of the citizens of our county are also

We have heatd of sales at sixty and sixty-ive

ANOTHER Rat SroRY.-The Lincoln HcraM
says there are some prodigions rat stories cur

one farmer and his workhands lately killed s.
600 rats in his corn fields Upon another farm
5000 have been killed during the spring
months. Whether these stories are numerically
true or not is of little consequence since it is
certain that the rats are actually taking the
country For every one that is killed there
seem to be hundred born, or mmgrate, to
supply its place. AT the present ratio of in

REVERENCE FOR OLD AGr.-Ho W bean.

REVERENCE FOR OLD AGE.-How W beau.
tiful it is to see the young reverence old
age! We never see little boy bowing
respectfully to an aged man in the street,
but we feel sure he is good boy. Rev
erence is always due to aged people.
Good nature and proper education, say
to the young, reverence old age. Gray
hairs are crowns of glory, found in the
way ofrighteousness. The promptings of
our kindly nature teach us to respect the
aged, to rise up before the hoary head.
The dim eye, the flrrowed brow, and
temples thiDly clad-who would not re-
spect, reverence and love them ?"

l saw an old fellow the other day who
had just come down from Oregon, where
he has been living for the last half centr-
ry. He had never seen a train of cars,
though nearly seventy years old and was
waiting upon the platform with a friend
to behold the phenomenon. His curiosity
was not unmingled with terror, as he heard
the whistle and the mufled thunder of its
approach, and receding slowly with his
eyes fixed upon the advancing monster, he
gazed unmindful of his prcarious position,
and was only brought to his senses by
plunge backward into a deposit of that
awful mud for which this part Of the world
is so justly celebrated.

Governor s., of South Carolina,
was a splendid lawyer, and could talk a
jury out of their seven senses. He was
especially noted for his success in crimi-
nal cases, almost always clearing his
client. He was once counsel for man
accused of horse stealing. He made a
long, eloquent and touching speech. The
jury retired, but returned in few mo-
ments, and proclaimed the man not guilty.
An old acquaintance stepped up to the
prisoner and said: "Jem, the danger is
passed and now, honor bright, didn't
YOU steal that horse2 To which Jem
replied, We'll, Tom, I've all along
thought l took that horse but since I've

POETRY.
To Adelaide :
SEARCHING EcR FLOWERS.

bEAHCHlNG ECR FLOWERS.
Though the lily, meek and beautiful,
The rivers side doth gem;
And roses bloom upon the Hill,
You need not seek for them.
You, Adelaide, your gentle brow
The lily doth outvie,
And on your cSeeks, all daintily
The sweetest roses lie.
You need not seek, through meadow-lands,
The little butter. cup,
For wreathed amid your golden hair,
1t never could look up
Nor even for the voets
By wood and waterfalls
Your eyes, so full of tenterness,
Are 5luer then them all.
But, Adelaide, within your heart
Search faithfully each day
For ev'ry hurtful, noxous thing
And cast it quite away.
So that, with song upon your lips,
Beside the Crystal River,
You may be twining fadeless flowers
Forever and forever.
