During the week the weather has been quite
cool, attended with some heavy frosts, which has

hardy fruits and cause them to drop.
The Lexington Advertiser Of Friday last says
The weather for the past week has been exees-
sigely cnld for this season of the year. We have
had heavy frosts almost every night. That Of

troyed fruit and other vegetation in this region.
The changeable weather fer some time past has
been exceedingly unhealthy, and too much caution
cannot be observed to prevent taking cold.
The Advertiser says that an ambrotypst from
Ohio. having expressed abolition sentiments, was
treated to ducking, aud Obliged to leave town.
