NORTHERN SECTION, all couLties north

week. The excessive rains of the latter part
of the previous week had left the ground
thoroughly soaked. while considerable

the effect of keeping farm land too soggy
and wet to be worked with any, advantage:
A hight frost occurred on the iWornlng OF
The 18th: but so far as reported, there was
no damage done by it. Corn planting has
made comparatively little progress, the
ground being too wet to'plant were already
plowed. Oats are mostly sown, but are not
doing very we'll in some localities, especial
ay on bottom land where they are turning
yellow from the effects of too much ram.
Wheat and grass have Jared best and are
generally reported to have made good pro.
gress. Apples and cherries are about out OF
bloom, with prospect for good crop.
Pears and plums will be light. Peaches to-

other berries mostly promise well. Gardens
are backward. Potatoes mostly planted
and some coming up. Live stock looking
fine.
