| killed in our neighorhood, though there was not

The Ranger, published at Brennan, Washington

our planters, destroying the cotton and most of the
corn.
US under date of the 23d ult., and says:
My prospects appear basted-my crop is ruined,
Last nights frost has told doeful story. had one
OF the best crops in the neghborhood but all is lost
and want stares in the face-the ground being too
dry to sprout the second crop.
The Richmond Reporter of Saturday. April 3Oth,
says:
Along the river bottom believe but little injury
hasbeen DONE and throughout the country as far as
heard from, there is still enough left standing both
OF corn and cotton for fair average crop, but
viii probably have to replant. We had refreshing
shower on Thursday morning, and the present indi-
cations for rain are favorable.
The San Antonio Texan of April 9th says:
From what we can learn, the rain few days since
has been very extensive, and done much good. The
frost has done much injury in some places while in
| others it has done little no injury.
The Washington Register says:
Nearly all our farmers will have to replant and
what makes the disaster more intoerable, there is
sc rcely any seed in the county or perhaps country
Planters actively engaged in procuring seed but
many, we fear, will have to abandon cotton raising
for the present year.

the black lands. Sandy lands will not require re-
planting.
In Fayette county everything is killed, and fears
are entertained that the wheat crop is ruined.
In Colorado county everything is runed-cottop,
corn, and vegetables of every description will have to
be replanted.
In Austin county cotton and corn were DESTROYED ::
most of the farmers will have to repant.
The Trinity Advocate of the 9th says:
On last Friday night we were visited with severe
and to some extent killing frost. A good deal of
the corn crop in various portions of the country is
cut down-in some places the cotton crop is killed.
The corn will probably revive and come out, but the
cotton bit down is killed, and will have to be re.
planted. The weather has now tuesday, turned
warm and spring-like
In the northeastern part of the State the frost an.
pears not to have been severe. The Jefferson Her.
aid of the 26th says:
The spring has been unusually cold. We had
heavy frost on the night of the 23d, which did not
however, destroy vegetation, but has so chilled it
that it does not grow We have as vet fruit in ahun-
ance, and the crop will be large. We understand that
in of the counties below US the fruit is all killed
also other vegetation.
