WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.

The fore part of the past week was generally cloudy andy
cool, with light to heavy showers, followed by good wealth y
er until Sunday, when heavy rains fell again in nearly all
parts of the state, with quite low temperatures. Frost was
general on the Sd, +th and 5th, in most sections being too
light to do any damage, but in others it was hard enough
to kill corn, flax and late vegetation, but as rule but little
injury was done.
Grain cutting is practically over, although some few
fields of late flax and in some places, oats are yet uncut.
In the northern part of the state considerable of the grain
has been stacked, but in other sections most of it is in the
shock, and has been damaged to some extent by the heavy
rains of the past two weeks; in some places it is sproutlng
in the shock, and in others has been bleached by being wet
and will grade low.
Thrasning, which was suspended by the recent rains,
was generally resumed the middle of the last week, most
of the grain being dried out sufficiently to be thrashed, but
the rains of Sunday will put a stop to it again, and with a
further prospect of showers today and tomorrow, the out
look is not cheerful.
Haying still continues in the central and western parts
of the state, and that now being put up is said to be better
than that first secured. Considerable hay has been dam
aged by gettieg wet, especially that not we'll stacked.
Potatoes are turning out a better crop than was first ex-
pected; they are usually large, but not as many in a hill
as usually found.
Corn still remains behind, and needs much warmer
weather; it is still growing rapidly, on account of the
heavy rains, and it will require about two weeks Of bright
warm weather to fully mature it.
