ing operations. Little or no injury
has been done to field crops beyond
ouu:ing delay in their planting, os
there was scarcely any cotton up.
The corn was nipped considerably
and in some spots completely bitten
down, though most, if not all, como
out again, and grow off as we'll %
ever, though it will, of course, be
made little backward. Small
grain looks very fine and promises a
heavy yield. Some Of the moro ad-
vauced may possibly have been in

complaint to that effect: Tho fruit
is very seriously injured and there
will be short crop of peaches and
most summer fruits. Gardens were
very much damaged, all the early
vegetables which are susceptible of
injury from cold being badly bitten
or completely killed. Washington
