JACK FROST HERE.

'She cold wave from the West struck Rensselaer Wednesday, but no frost fell until Thursday night, and quite a heavy white frost was visible yesterday morning. In this immediate vieinity it aid little damage, but in the Gifford district, which usually feels the first effects of frost in the county, it is thought great daflfege was done, as well as to cork on the low ground in other parts of the county. Thos. Callaghan from Walker tp., was in the&ity yesterday morning and at his place, he said, quite thick ice forifed, and he thinks a great deaf of damage was done. Little corn, was out of the way of frost in the county except on the higher ground, and it is expected that the ?rop has been damaged from 15 to 25 per cent at least. A warm wave is on the way now And no further damage need be fsared at present.
