Le Temps publishes the full text of a dispatch 
from the Austrian Premier von Beust to Prince 
of that received from Lake Superior. It • Metternlch, Austrian Minister at Paris, dated 
Westport, Conn., April 8.—Vegetation be¬ 
gins to start a little, but it is slow; grass and 
winter grain have suffered badly from the con¬ 
stant freezing and thawing. I think when peo¬ 
ple come to mow this summer, they will realize 
what damage was done by the drouth last 
summer. I noticed one piece of timothy on 
dry, gravelly ground, seeded last rail, and well 
harrowed in, and it seems as if nlrio out of ten 
of the roots were thrown out of the ground 
so that they Just hung by a thread, as it wero, 
and if the weather is not very favorable i great 
deal Of it must die. The peach buds are a great, 
many, if not all of them, ruined ; they passed 
through the winter all right, but tho cold of 
the last month lias destroyed quantities of 
them and there Is time enough yet for the rest 
to be spoiled; the blossoms have not opened 
yet; if thoy can stand such nights as last Sat¬ 
urday was, they will stand most anything. The 
thermometer stood at 14 a above zero at sunrise; 
we have not had. I think, more than ten or 
twelve colder mornings all winter; it froze the 
ground a good Inch that night. It Is too early 
yet to know anything definite in regard to the 
fruit crop prospect, although I heard one of 
our leading strawberry growers say that the 
winter had damaged his and one of his neigh¬ 
bors something like one thousand dollars; the 
ground is low and wet and I suppose the con¬ 
stant freezing and thawing has thrown out the 
plants. The apple trees did fair for a good 
show of blossoms. Eggs plenty and cheap, 16c.; 
corn, old, $1.10; potatoes scarce, at $1 per bush.; 
poultry, 20c., dressed butter, 44c.—A. N. 
Northern Ohio.—One day we have spring and 
the next we are back to winter—on an average 
of twice a week. This 4th day of April we are 
two inohes under snow and the air full of it. 
Not cold enough to hurt the fruit buds, which 
give good promise. The warm sun does not 
shine long enough at one time to start the pas¬ 
ture grass before a cold norther chills and 
discourages its growth. T never saw clover and 
grasses so badly lirted by the heaving frost of 
winter. Most of our cheese factories started 
up this week. The hi*.h price of butter and 
cheese makes the daiiymen feel good in this 
part of cheeaedom.—s. d. il,
