The Conneaut Reporter, after alluding
to the great frost, adds In our imme-
date vicinity it was not so severe as Tor
ten or a dozen miles south. Great appre-
hension has been felt for the wheat, but
so far as examinations have been made
about here, it is thought TO have escaped
with only slight damage. We hear OF
some fields where the heads have fallen,
and of course to that extent the crop is
destroyed.
BETTER NEws.-Everv day brings
more cheering news in relation 10 the
ravages Of the frost. Eleazor Burridge,
of Mentor, has nine acres of wheat in one

not prove as great as many suppose
The same paper says that from Lafay-
cite report says wheat has not sustained
any great injury; Delphi. Peru, Wabash
and Logansport report no injury to wheat.
We have conversed with many farmers
in regard to damage by it, and are led 10
believe that the wheat crop is generally
u~ninjured. although corn. potatoes, and
most garden stuffs are cut off. These
will generally start again. and receive no
material damage.-Lima, (ANen Co..

very extensive.-Nayiaa Herald.

A very intel igent farmer Of our &C
quaintsnce made a tour through the
north western portion of this franklin
county. on Tuesday, and made it bis
business to inspect the wheat fields care
as far as he travelled. His opinion
is that wheat on the up lands is not
damaged to any appreciable extent

Intense anxiety was Immediately
anifested in regard to the wheat crop
and conflicting opinions have prevailed
as to the injury received, but it is now
conceded hat the injury is very great,
its tx ent is not yet determined.
