saved. Some wheat from one Of the fields that
was given mp as "dead aud gone," was brought to
our office yesterday, and on examination appeated

JEFFERSON, June 6, 1859
EDITOR LEADER The frost on the night of
the 4th instant was the most severe that we
have had in "these parts" Tor many years. Every
thing is more or less affected Vegetables, such
as tomatoes ououmbers, &C., are killed almost to
the last one. The fruit is very much injured All
of the apples on the outer branches are killed
Those more screened by the leaves some instances
escaped. Peaches are badly used up think more
dried ones can benow found in market than this fall
Some fears are entertained in regard to the wheat
aud rye. The corn is cut down to the ground but
will grow again.
Yours, truly, J.A.H HOwELLs.

very heavy frost. Itis expected by the farm

Potatoes, corn, grapes, and garden sauce is cut
off close to the ground. Wheat is slightly ipjur-

on Saturday night Fruit was not much injured.
We do not hear of frost west of this Sthte.-
Chicago, Indianapolis and Michigan papers make
no mention of it. and word from Indianapolis says
there was no frost there.
Canada papers report frost and damage done at
London aud Toronto From New York we hear
of much frost and formation of ice. Snow fell
in small quantities at Buffalo, Rochester, Canaan.

The frost seems to have been general through
out New England, New York and Ohio, but to
have passed lightly by the Western States. The
change from Saturday to Sunday was distressing
Never before had brighter prospects cheered the
farmer OfuOiversal plenty and general abundance
The scarcity of tho two previous years was for
gotten, and the voice Of gadness went abroad
throughout Ine Iengtn anu breadth Of tnv land.
But in a few short hours tho whole aspect was
changed, and agriculurists and hOrtieulturisls
who wero wealthy on Saturday, woke up on Suns
day to mourn over their apparent want How
ever, thoro's no grumbling the havoc is done
and We can only earnestly look and hope for a
happy Combination of fortuitOus oircumstan ,
which shall yet cause the farmers heart to leap
with joy
