The JUNE FRosrs.-We can just now begin to
specify the damage done to vegetation by the June
frosts. Here in Seneca county the hay crop has
been shortened by them otherwise farmers have
ustained loss; but west and south the rosts
more destructive, reaching the maximum in this
State on the high lands in Chatauque county, where
both the hay crop and the leaves of deciduous trees
were destroyed; the mercury fell there morning
to 800, or 100 below freezing. Here we shall have
a small crop of Isabella grapes, and there will be
large crop of apples, although some complain that
many sound apples falling from the trees. The
editor of the Ohio Cultrator says, that in seven
counties of Ohio there spots of small breadth
where the destruction of staple cereals and garden
products is nearly completes and that such denuded
places are scattered over all Ohio, north Indiana,
and Illinois. The frosted district extended from
Auburn east to north Illinois, in the southwest.
Wheat in Ohio being forward than in this
State suffered severely; while in this and the neigh
boring counties west, the largest and best wheat
crop we have had in many years is now being har-
vested, and every summer crop promises well.

Married Life in France.

According to French statistics, out of
thirty six millions Of inhabitants in France,
fifteen and 4 half millions are married, or
in Il state of widowhood. eight and half
millions are bachelors or spinsters, leaving
only twelve millions for children-so. at
least, the figures show. Thus, the proper
ton OF the married would seem much larger
than might have been expected, hut the
number ofther children singularly small.
DR.. Fare thinks however, that the type
OF the French race is improving, from the
d'minution of bad types, such as idiots and
lunatics who do not marry. The general
opinion has been that, in the point Of stat
ure at least, Frcnchmen wore rather "dcte.
rlorating." In France, marriage is much
more the result of prudential calculations
and considerations than with us, or even
with the English. All is done by ncco-
tlation. The marriage is not valid unless
the man is eighteen and the woman fifteen.
Even then, unless the head of the family
give his or her consent, the ceremony can
be set aside. Marriage is more favorable
to long life than celibacy, as these French sta
tistlcs prove, unless it be very early marriage
The mortality of males marrying before
twenty is almost five times rs great, it is
said, as OF those remaining single. From
twenty upwards. marriage seems to about
double the chance Of seeing sixty. To about
thirty, the chance of life for unmarried fe
males is rather better than that of married.
But from this up, the scale turns decidedly
the other way; and the chances of seeing six
ty lsv very far better for the married Than
the unmarried female. For those marryiup
under twenty, however, the chance ofmortaI-
ny are rather greater than of those who wait
I'LL above that time, when the bodily system
as well 'natured. Even to twenty five. nine
married women die to eight unmarried.
Returning to the common notion, indus
tr'o'sly propaga'ed by superficial travellers,
th"t France IS one OF the most immoral
countries in Europe contemporary Justly re-.
marks that the small farmers and connt,y
people generally, who form the great masss.
are very much like that class Of people .II
the world through. and abou, equal 10 the
average in point Of morality, marrying and
glv'ngas marriage, like the rest Of the world.
far's is doubtless loose capital, but its vice
is less concealed than in other cities, and
perhaps IS not greater than in some
upon oor own continent. Moreover. the
French have their peculiar virtue, among
the most beautiful Of which, is the reveren.
t'a' obedience and love Of children to pa.
rents: the general freedom from intemper.
ance, and the social character of their amuse.
