The average temperature for New Eng
gland for the week ending Sept 2G, 1890

days have been warm, but the nights have
been cool. 4 light frost occurred in few
localities in the northwest on the morning of

all but the southeastern part of New Eng
land. At Northfeld VT, the signal ser
vice observer reported a temperature
of IS and the correspondent at Brook
field says that the frost was a clncher
lee one eighth of an inch thick formed there
The few pleasant days preceding the severe
frost caused a rapid ripening OF corn and
other crops and enabled many to ge. them
out Of the way of injury Corn is now
mostly cut and seems TO be well filed. The
late potatoes have ceased to rot SO badly in
the ground, but large per cent of earlier
ones have rotted in the bin; some on carry
ing them from the cellar find from 80 to
50 per cent spoiled. Fruit of all kinds is
high and scarce but garden truck, with tho
exception of tomatoes and grapes are yield
