The FrOsts of Last Week.
From the Peoria IJnion. 2Sth

We had very heavy frost on We'd
nesday night, but a still heavier one on
the night Of Thursday. The latter was
quite disastrous in its effects. Two
thirds of all the fruit blossoms have
been killed, and all who were so unfor
tanate as to plant corn early, and have
seen the green blade pceplng through
the sod have that duty to repeat. A
great quantity Of the small garden stuff
is entirely nippcd out, and not tomato
orcucumber plant but has been leveed to
the earth. Yesterday morning ice an
eighth OF an inch in thickness was found
on every stagnant sheet of water. and
we understand fiom a gentleman who
has been travelling through our adio,n
ing counties, that snow storm of half
days duration occurred on Wednes.
day, between Mendoza and Kewanee. It
is generally feared that crops have been
set back three or four weeks by this
cold spell.
From the Keokuk (Iowa) Gate City, April 18th.
There were severe frosts in this re-
gion on Wednesday and Thursday
nights. The. Norwegians on Sugar
Creek say they had ice an inch thick
yesterday morning. The apple blossoms
were killed, the grass was ststfened and
curled down, and we learn that the
grape crop was almost ruined, in town
and country. We fear that fruit of
every kind is done fer in this region.

Ting PEAcH CHoP.-We are informed
ty an extensive grower that the small
proportion o. peach blossoms still re-
naming on the trees in this vicinity at
this date, were severely injured by the
frost of Monday night last. The pros
pcct now is that the crop OF luscious
peaches this year will be, as it has been
FIR several years past, failure.
From the La Sale Press, 2sth.l
Jack Frost has been decidedly severe
on vegetation in this vicinity, during the
past week. Fruit has been seriously in
iured, if not entirely killed. On Thurs
,,ay We were visited by the tail end Of
the recent snow storm which prevailed
in Michigan, New York and other To-
ealities farther east. Snow flakes filled
the air, and the cold wind from the
north, rendered greet coats and good
coal fires absolutely necessary for com
fort.

For several nights past we have hae
heavy frosts, seriously damaging the
prospect of fruit, and nipping early veg

is, it is difficult to tell yet. The dr..
cold weather has been favorable a
against the ravages of the frost, but it ]
pretty certain that most kinds OF frul

Backed Out Of Ii.

Some days since the Gazette issued
an article advocating in very strong
terms, rotation in office. 1t had come
to be couvined that no man, no matter
how well qualified he may be or how
faithfully h might have discharged the
duties of his office, should be put up for
reelection after the two terms had ex-
pired. We thought at the time that
our nelghbor was taking bigger load
upon himself than he could carry, and
we find now that he has concluded to
submit to the disgraces Of backing out
OF the scrape. This was brought about
by Grimes newspaper, the Burlington
Hawkeye. When that paper says, 60
the other Black Republican dirt eaters
start as at the crack of the whip; and
when Grimes organ says, no, then no it
is; not another Republican quill driver
dares open his mouth or say aught
against its supreme dicta. The Ga
zeste is now willing-ayc anxious that
Sells shall be re-nominated for Secretary
OF State, notwithstanding that few
days since that paper read him out, and
introduced with grand sa!aam, one
