The Frost Again. .

Last week we gave rather Sloomy &C
count of the prospects of the farmers
throughout the country. and in our OWL
county in particular. We wrote the arti'
Gle under the impression made by some
what extended personal inspection Of the
appearance of the country, after the frost,
and from the almost universal representa-
tions of our exchange papers.
But we are happy TO announce, after an
other weeks observation, and the revIving
effects of the genial showers it has poured
upon the frost-blighted fields, that the
ruin is nothing like what was anticipated
week ago. In fact, while considerable
amount Of garden vegetables, potatoes,
corn, and some wheat are killed, yet, on
the whole, the prospect now is, that fair
average crop will be realized in this
county, and all our exchanges speak en-
Of the promise of generous
yield throughout the country. We con-
g gratulate the farmers, and indeed all
classes, on the revived prospects.
