We don't hear much about the matter
in this State, fom which we infer that
there is not much; to complain Of. We
guess lthe wheat has generally escaped
pretty SAFELY that the corn may be s'cut
down" in some localities, but Will recover
or be replanted, and that the chief damage
has been done to fruit and potatoes. 1t
will be good news if the injury generally
is as slight as it now appears to Be ID this
State.
From Mr.. Eebeker, RepreseniaoEe from
Warren county, who has had unusual. OPT
portunities to ascertain the truth about the
doing Of the frost, we learn that no injury
at all was done either in Fountain or War
rem counties, or anywhere on the route from
there here. = @ lEasses aSi sss,sis

These reports come from a large extent
of territory, and probably indicate the con-
dition Of the State fairly, except the ex-
treme northern portion from which we have
not yet beard anything. With what we
have before reported, they show that the
western, central and southern parts of the
State have escaped almost entirely, and the
Upton and Wabash reports would indicate
that the lower portion of the nerther sec
ton has also escaped pretty safely. The
eastern has suffered some, but no guess can
yet be made at the extent Of it.

but not ruiDous. Seed time and harvest

Post remarks: =
There Is something impressively sublime
in these quiet yet quiet influences Of ma
ture thus working in the stiffness of night,
and in a few hours noisly undoing the long
and busy labor Of the tillers of the SOIL
Like the angel that destroyed the first
born Of all the houses Of Egypt, an icy
presence passes over the fields all bursting
with the the treasures of vegetation, and
the first born of the earth-the budding
grain, the ripeniDg fruit of spring time
shriyels away and dies. No human power
can oppose the progress of the DESTROYING
angel, nor is there any bloody sign upon
the door post that foretels his coming
And yet the fearful visitant is foiled by
agencies that man would never think of.
In somea wind sweeps over the fields and
the frost dares not come with the power of
its breath. In other places we hear Of a
dense fog rising froma river, and spreading
inland for miles. covering the precious
grain as with tent of cloud, and shelter
ing it from the biting cold. - -

which it comes In contact. This be found
by scraping some corroded metal from

knowledge of this fact is of immense i'm

of rusty iron brought in contact with bale
of cotton in a warehouse or on sbipboard,
