"Wednesday and Thursday nights
of last week we're quite cool. In
some localities there was frost those
nights. The ouly place where dam.
age was done of which we have heard
was in the vicinity Of Beaver Valley.
We are told the cold was 80 severe as
to iDjure the corn somewhat.
Such harvest of apples as one
sees everywhere to be gathered this

heart glad and grateful to behold it.

j. G. Havemyer, of New York, last

an historical Knickerbocker family.

to severe tests, such as pouring oil on
it and trying to set it on fire; certain
ingredients in the paint snufied the
