IN NEW ENGLAND.
Interesting Account of the Season and
Crop There.

The News is in receipt of the follow
ing interesting com munication from
Hon. w, L. Melcher, Laconia, n. Ii;
"Our New England summer has gone.
Frosts have appeared. We have had a
cold, wet, backward season, remark
able contrast between ours and yours.
When left Sequachee about the mid
die of May the thermometer was way
up in the eighties and had been for
some time, and rain was needed. When
| reached here it was just the opposite
Rain was in abundance and thick
clothing comfortable. All Summer we
had frequent rains, and hot days have
been extremely scarce. The result is
an abundant grass crop, the principal
crop Of New England, bnt much of it
spoiled in curing. 1t rained every day
for the first half of July, and now aver
ages every third day since.
"The potato crop is large, but owing
to wet weather is rotting very badly.
Apples promised well, but for some
reason have fallen off and are very de-
fective. Corn has not ripened; some
of it has already been spoiled by frost.
So you see the farmers have their
troubles in all parts of the country, but
after all they are perhaps the happiest
class Of people.
You will have an advantage over US
this winter, you can keep warm but
what shall we do with coal from twelve
to fifteen dollars per ton as it is now.
