Scattering Of the effects of the late frost Of the
first days of September are given in some of ex-
changes, but the damage reported in detail is nsgni-
cant We append some extracts. The damage is mainly
in the Northwest

hight has done its work thoroughly in this vicinity
potatoes and all vines cut to the ground very
much injured, although some OF the farmers think
enough to prevent its maturing aside from the injury by

The promise OIL the corn crop enough in an con

now AS for potatoes, the drouh has SO checked
their growth that nothing but good soaking rain and the
absence OF frost for weeks will make them even

the rain will fall the frost hold off, cannot see but
that the crop must be a signal failure.
