By Accounts from various parts of the country, it appears there never was a finer crop of grass than there is this year; the fruit-trees have suffered much by blight, and the uncommon cold and wet of the season has, it is feared, done much injury to the grain.
The marriage of Mr Thomas CHURCH, jun. surgeon, of Coltishall, to Miss Rachel JOHNSON, inserted in our paper of last week, we can assure our readers, is void of foundation. -- Several articles of a like kind having lately been attempted to be imposed on the printer, the public are therefore informed, that in future no marriage or death will be inserted in this paper without being properly authenticated.
