Observations. — In consequence of the showery summer, all kinds of 

 culinary vegetables have been plentiful and cheap. Fruit of all kinds has 

 hitherto come abundantly, notwithstanding the crop of orchard fruit is 

 generally scanty. So much does it vary in quality, however, that it is dif- 

 cult to fix any thing like a faithful average. — M,
