i FrOm the observations of our corres
pondents, ihe fall of Snow on the 1st of
May,' which was noticed here as some
thing of a phenomeon, would appear to
have been almost universally experienced
from Maine to Florida. The South
Carolina and Georgia papers, speak of
a succession of frost from the 1st to the
7tn-inst. by which the Cotton, &c; was
considerably injured. In this neighbour
hood, we had one or two white frosts a
boul the same time, but without doing;
material harm to the young growth.
Speaking of the extraordinary forward'
ness of the season,, the N. England Far
mer says, 44 It is one of the very few
which transcend or surpass the ordinary
limits on the average of any ten years ta
ken together. It is very forward, and
he traces its forwardness to the early and
long continued . coverings of snow. Cher- ,
ries began to open their flower this year
April 21, tro days earlier than in any
year during the last fourteen yeais, and
earlier, than the average of the 14 years,
about 14 days. Peaches this year open
ed on the -46th --April,, which .-is earlier
than it has opened for the last twelve years
in , 1325, the earliest year, before the
present for fourteen years, the Siberian
crab apple .began to flower ; May 7 -this
year ii did on May 4. The prass is from

Healths. The origin of health drink
ing took its ; rise from the time of the.
Danes being in England, when it was
common with them, whilst, an english
man was drinking, to take that oppor
tunity of stabbing him. To guard agaiust
this Danish treachery, the English enter
ed into a combination to be mutual pledg
es of security to each other whilst drink
ingi " - -:y -.' . . ' H'; : ' .
When, therefore, an Englishman at
that period drank to his friend, bis tacit
language was J Sir, I am afraid that
