STILL WE HAVE FEEZING WEATHER.

If there was ariy lingering doubt remaining as to whether the heavy frosts of late had very badly injured the fruit crop, that doubt is now dispelled. The cold weather and snow of last week, which on Saturday reached a point where a crust was frozen on the ground and the leaves on the soft maple trees were frozen and are shriveling up, and the ground was covered with a mantle of snow Saturday night, has done a-plenty to the fruit, has injured wheat greatly and damaged oats more or less. Oats may recover for most part, but as for fruit, that is done for almost' completely for this year. It seems that if we don’t get March weather during March we will get it later, and this year March was what April ought to have been, while our March weather is coming the latter part of April when crops and everything is advanced farther than almost ever before known for this season of the year.
