Tnr WEArnER.-Snce the lato cold
weather which wound up with severe
frost, the effects of which it will take an.
other year to remove, the weather has
been, although notwarm, midland pleasant
On Wednesday last we had a succession of
summer showers, which was highly benefi.
'cal to all kinds of vegetation capable O,
being restored by nature and careful cul-
ture. And which would have been bles-
sing to our once thriving crops. But sic
transit gloria mardi! npped by an untimely
FROST"

this friday Morning when we were again

CLEARrIELD NURsERY.-In our adyertis-

starting a Nursery three and half miles
south of this place on the road 10 Cur
wensville, where he intends keeping on
hand complete assortment Of fruit and
ornamental trees, with which he will be
happy TO supply the people of the county
at reasonable prices. This is first.rate
opportunity for those wishing to supply
themselves with trees, and far preferable
TO importing them from distance; as by
obtaining them from resident Horticul-
turst, they can obtain just what they
want and have those which do not thrive
replaced at any time.

Of at least few of our citizens escaped the
destructive visitation of Jack Frost, on
last Sunday morning uninjured. One we
know of, the contents of which was large

withstood the frosts and SHOWS Of many
winters and was perfectly nvulnerable to
bis Influence, passed the OF d, al unhmmed.
Another most miraculously escaped by
the hogs getting in the night previous and
devouring what the frost would have laid
waste. These however with one or two
additional instances of a lik e nature, are
the only ones which escaped the general
deyasation.
