CHATTON.
January 31. — The weather recently has been very rough and squally, and the crops are beginning to feel thtj cold. Nothing is growing, and everything seems to point to a late harvest if matters do not improve. The late-sown turnips are almost perished except those in drills, and even they are not coming on in anything like the manner in which they should. Young grass also is considerably affected, and the low temperature is by no means agreeing with it.
February 6.— Heavy rains have fallen during the past week, with high winds. Tho season is so far a most unfavourable one for all sorts of plant life. There is no growth, and the crops are almost stationary. There is, so to speak, a decided prospect of a late harvest, aud any who have late sown wheat will stand a chance of having it frosted if matters do not improve.
