IN THE VICINITY or CLEVELAND


The of that place Herald says:
We hear very sad accounts from the country.
Saturday night, the pestilcnce of severe frost
passed over the land, aud has swept off the
hopes and labors of months. Accounts from
thirteen miles southwest state that where on
Saturday morning were green hills of potatoes
are now black spots Grapes nre cut down to
the old wood; corn evcled to the earth, toma-
toes, beans, cucumbcrs, &C., destroyed.
Accounts from six miles east give like tale.
Fruit however, except grapes, is safe along the
Lake Shore, in East Cleveland and Euclid
Even the new twigs on 6utter-nut trees are
killed.
A singular feature Of this frost, is, that where
the wind swept, there the destructin was the
greatest. On Saturday evening tho wind was
watched with utmost Solcitu1c and rs it in
creased towards bed time all believed that it
would save us, but its breath was so cold that
it killed where it struck. Vegetation sheltered,
and wheIe the warmth from the earth was felt,
escaped.
