Whe Cold.— So recently as the and inst. 
we heard a strong desire expressed by 
a gardener that some check should be given 
to the rapidly developing vegetation, and 
especially of fruit buds. How quickly that 
aspiration was answered all of us know. 
The response on the part of Nature was as 
sudden as severe. That in a large degree 
the effect on ground crops was greatly 
mitigated by the snow covering there can 
be no doubt, but all the same vve may now 
expect to hear of much mischief done to 
gross grown green crops, so abundant and 
luxuriant before, but which may be very 
different now.
