Richmond, Midd.cscx, Surrey, Isle Of
Wight, Northampton and Norfolk show
that the rainfall has been generally below
the normal, and to some extent This has
been beneficial to growing crops; severe
! local storms accompanied b., hail, occur
red Thursday 'fernoon in the southeas-
tern sections, causing some sericus dam
lage. The temperature underwent de-
cided change OH the 9th, a cold wave that
resulted in frosts for four DAYS, and ice in
many sections; strong winds and dry at-
mosphere alone prevented most serious
! injury to the fruit crop, as we'll rs tugr3w-
ing crops and trucking; the peach crop -
generally reported as seriously injured;
: cherries, pears and plums, suffered less;
while the damage, ifany, to apples is MT
vet known. Cluyeris reported as nirped
in some sections. IN the northern conn.
ties, where the fruit buds were not SO far
advanced, the injury seems to have been
Hess. The temperature averaging nearly
Twenty degrees lower than the previous
! Iweek, and about. fen degrees Leiow the
Inormal for this time of the season, has
VERY decidedly retarded the growth OF
: such plants, crops, &c., as were preyio
!, lin the ground. No damage to tobacco
plants has been reported.
