som is ss tender as tomato" Wheat hes looked
unctrnmony well this season SO far how it will turn
out remains to be seen.
WnLIAMsvILLE, n. Y, June g. 1852
Our place was v-itea by the most destructive frost
on Saturday night ever experienced here. Cucun-
bers melons, tomatoes beans and corn-u fact, every
sort Of Spring crop except wheat, was entirely
destroyed by the fros Covering the vegetables wss
OF use, they were all frozen alike, while maay
were covered with blankets, sheets, papers, &C.
But although the damage is severe to this class Of
products ii is as naGght compared to the loss sustained
in fruit and grain The former s entirely blackensd
while II is not possible TO tell the extent Of the damage
done TO our Winter wheat and rye but it is gleat a.
both were in bloom.
The effect upon our farmers may be better imagined
than described. Ice was frmed full quarter Of an
inch in thickness The crops looked better than
they did last week, aud never no badly as now.

AS desired win occasionally send few lines for the
benefit Of the readers Of your valuable paper, of
which ] am pleased to say that upward of twenty
numbers are weekly sent 10 small town, and hope
The number may orc long be doubled.
This section of country has the prospect of rich
harvest with the exception of wheat which is feared
nay be injured TO some extent by the lice Corn and
potatoes look fine, and want nothing but favorable
weather to insure fine crop We had a slight frost
last night but not so as TO have done any dam
age worth noticing. ] WAS informed that they also
bad slight frost in the vicinity of Reading. on the
night Of the 81 inst. Apple-trees are sad to appear
as if they would yield medium crop. Chcrry-trecs
seem to yield their full share Of their delicious fruit.
Peaches can say nothing Of, there being scarcely
any trees in this vicinity.

The Western papers chronicle heavy f.osts for the
seas0n on Saturday and Sunday nights and anticipate
more or less damage, in different localities to fruit aud
crops In this neg gborhood we are gratifed to learn
no serious injury has resulted, and trust the appre
tensions entertained at the West may also prove
exaggerated

From The BiaqAan,on JoryaqL
Saturday was very cold day and great fears were
entertained that if the weather ould become clear in
the night Jack Frost would make his presence felt,
Fortunately, it continued clOu1y great part OF the
right, and from The very general Inquiries we have
made. have arrived at the conclusion that the
frost has touched with H. hter hand than we feared
be would. Mr.. Amory, who has one OF the largest
FARMS in the county, some four miles east OF Bing-
bsmtoD, and has upward of twenty-eight acres IN
CORR informed us this moruiDg that he escaped en-
trely with the exception Of one hill of beans,
which YVES higher thsn the rest, and was cut down

We understand that, as general thing, tonaipes,
beans cucumbers and other tender plants, which
were not protected, have suffered Il good deal. but
Dany pcrsOns took the trouble to cover their vines
with something and thus saved them. Mr.. Rogers,
and many others in the village preserved theirs IN this
way. Contrary tO the general expectation the irost
was less severe on Sunday night than on Saturday
night.

has done much injury, especially to garden vegetables
