LEAVES FROM MY ANN ARBoR JOURNAL.

MONDAY MoRN1NG-I write in june hot
and happy June, leafy fowery June; yes in
deed, the weather is so warm that farmers
who come to town forget to tell again the sad
story of frosts and bEghted wheat and wilted
corn, they now only tell US what we have a
most feeling knowledge of, and cannot forget
until the thermometer lowers or we get trust.

not cease to talk dolefuly of frosts? If this
would protect vegetation it is now too late,

we have said aword or two of the University,
Its rich advantages and generous liberality

Government to the State of Michigan, it op.

men from the preparatory schools of Ohio
look inqniringly westward and prefer this, wher
its advantages are known even to the time
