Fruit trees of all kinds are loaded down with blossom, the like of which has never, according to the "oldest inhabitant," been seen before, the trees presenting the appearance of huge bouquets of flowers. Grapes promise an abundant harvest, never having seen them come out so even, or look more vigorous before. We have every prospect of being blessed with the largest harvest of fruit and grain ever known. 24. On the evening of the 24th, we had a very destructive frost, destroying grapes, corn, beans, etc.; in some cases entirely, in others only partially. I luckily escaped with very little damage, while a neighbor of mine had ten acres of vineyard, which promised the greatest results, completely destroyed. I attribute my escape to the close proximity to water, my vineyard being bounded on the south by the Seneca river and east by a large brook, which runs within forty feet of my vineyard.

[Keeping a Diary is a practice very much to be commended. It is always useful to the person keeping it, and may often be made so to the public. There are very few persons who can not find time, at the close of the day, to make a few brief notes. We should be glad to have occasional extracts from diaries kept by our readers. - Ed].
