| Transcript | A letter [from?] Halifax, dated June 11, says - "There has not been, for upwards of forty years, so backward a season known in Nova Scotia as the present. Although now in the middle of June, but little vegetation has taken place, and there is scarcely any seed sown in the ground. Ice was seen on the morning of the 11th at the harbour, and a few days since snow was falling in different parts of the country. The weather in the southern parts of the United States is equally extraordinary, and the farmers have been obliged to plough up the ground, and plant a second time their spring seed. |
