spring has been rather backward. There
have been large number of frosts, but
no hard freezing; consequently, though
yegetati IN has been retarded, the fruit
has not been killed. We never saw a
heavier bloom Of all kinds of fruits and
berries than We have seen this year;
and all kinds of fruits will be abundant
in this region. Wheat looks very pronis-
ing, oats and grass promise well. Corn
is late coming up On account Of the cold
weather; but is now doing we'll.

Of course back ward, but We have fortu-
nately escaped any hard and damaging
frosts of much extent. The fields of
grass, wheat and other grains give
promise of an abundance, surprising
that of former years. All that seems
wanting to ensure large harvests of hay,
grain and fruit during the year, is the
warm and maturing suns which may
now be expected with the presence of
the first month of summer.

granaries, we do hope for fall in the

Even the desOlated fields of Virginia
