Saturday again was excessively cold and
unconfortahle, but towards noon old Sol
shone out brightly, and the air seemed
more mild and pleasant, but With 1 strong,
cool breeze from the north. a heavy
frost occurred during the night.

different parts of Canada West state. that
the late frost has done most serious dam
age tosthe= fruit potatoes, corn and other
vegetables, but the wheat is unipiured and
is thought that the effect of the frost NAV

about frost.

nothing upon the subject. :5ssa So =.

the Great West has escaped, and that a
line running South from the West end ol
Lake Erie will bound the fross on the
West. ''s-'---@Ss.a - A-As q s@s'

so great as to prevent people from viewing

now despair. That paper further says:
Some say the wheat is destroyed some
say not. As to fruit; we were informed
by a gentleman from Indiana county and
another from Westmoreland that the
peaches reshowering down from the trees.
The. frost has cut the stem. Apples were
also injured, but welcanot say to what ex-

as dead foratbe year. :. Others, in situation
apparently as favorable, are still fresh and
grow. as if nothing had occurred, eos=5sE
