The Frost or SEPEMBER Ills effect upon the
Or0p-In some places late corn has been cOnsldera-
bly, damaged by the Frost of Tuesday week. In
others it had been and stacked before that date,
and in such cases of course the fodder has been
preserved, but in many places the bulk of the crop
was standing when the visitation took place, and the
value Of the stalks for fodder has been almost en-
tirely DESTROYED We understand that, fortunately,
the frost was by no means general, but principally
confined to those counties where was most for
ward and less likely to be damaged by such ca
lamity We advise those farmers who have corn INT
for harvesting to lose time in cutting and stacking
il before another frost to destroy the value of
the stalks We notice that in various places buck
wheat had been completely withered, even before
the frost of September IL, that there was no
manner of use in allowing it to stand. 1t should
have been cut down before the straw became dried
up and useless has been in many places an I'M
productive crop this year.
There is considerable difference of opinion among
apiarians respecting the blossoms OF buckwheat for
producing honey, some asserting that 1t is totally
useless for that purpose, and others denying tie
truth of the assertion.-Detr0d Tribune.

STEAMBOAT MEN.-Just after the storm that week
which desoated the coast of Louisiana, the steamer
Alabama stopped off Biloxi to land few passengers
While she Law there a number of the distressed in
habants of the place came out to meet her in boats
and wereRbolt to get on board, but were told to GO
on shore again unless they chose to pay 50 for their
passage to New Orleans. This brutality 50 enraged
the people of Biloxi that when, day or two after
the Alabama, on her return voyage, attempted tc
send the mails and several passengers ashore two OF
her boats were seized and their crews detained. A
fight ensued, in which shots were exchanged, and
the Alabama finally left minus her boats and part
of her crew.
