THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS IN
DORSET,

For the peat six weeks it has been dull, gloomy,
occasionally wet, but on the whole very favourable for
ploughing and preparing land for sytiog erupt, wh.o4 has
bee ,t oarried on with great activity, thereby keeping
work well in hand. Now and than a sudden ohange of
clod front S.W to N. W. would bring along a sharp
clearing shower and then a float or two, only, h
to he followed by a recurrent,e of the some dismal
weather. There could not be a greater °entreat in the
salmons than that shown by th• autumns of 1872 and '73,
c.ch of which told its own tale most numistdtaby 12
the agnoulteral history of this country. Extremely
unfavourable we all know was the season of '72 for
wheat ...tog, • oostinnation of wet weather keeping
all oueof-door work badly In arrear, and preventing
striating like the average breadth being sown, whereas
the oorreeponding teas.. of last year VOA the very boat
for this important operation within the memories of
most men. Indeed, so fine and propitious was the
weather that farmers weld sow at their Ishtar*, sod
consequently a mash huger area than usual has been got
in, end that under favourable eiroumstanses. Al
bbaftesbury market last Saturday I begird a large
, tamer say be had quite ten times as mush land In
wheat now as he had last year at this time ; Lad
although his may be an exospUoual ease, I think It
gaits sato to sty that In Dorset generally there is double
the quantity DOWD. And the plant le looking extremely
well, both on heavy and light soil;, although some frost
would be Niceties' just now. What the effect of later
severe frosts may be—and it Ia idls, as yet, not to
expect them—one cannot nay; !etas hope for the best.
Winter barley, too, never looked better—it is simply
turpossible ; and the same may be said of winter oats,
beans. rye, and vetches. In fact everything is locking
almost too well, too springy as the dairy farmers of
Somerset would say, and one must confess that this
ii possible. Sheep are very healthy, and are doing well.
There is no anticipation of a similar mortality to that
whieh happesed In Seeks last year, so that we are
Isetilleat In looking very hoptfolly to the laretdog
season which will yet be delayed for a few weeks,
although here and there a few early lambs may be seen.
In the village of West Orchard I especially roticed
WOO yesterday, whioh mast be quite 11.bs. per qr.
Roots are sot plentiful with us. Jest at preeent tee
land Is mush too tender for manure hauling, of which
there is a great deal to do, and the weather too wet
for threshtsg, so that marry have rattily a 4111111eulty in
ending work fir theft men. Redding, dilebiat,
eleulag watereewreea, sad other "odd jobs; is in we
man do at present. Weather yesterday and to-day

COLLISION OFF PORTLAND.

A fearful °clarion occurred a Portlend about on•
o'elook on Friday morning between the Danish steamer
Vera, from ll[wino, laden with fruit, bound for the
Baltic, and the German bark Haydn, of Luben from
Hamburg, laden with • general cargo, bound to
Tbd port side of the bark struck the steamer on the
starboard bow just before the fore rigging, the steamer
going fall speed astern. In a few minutes the bark
was seen to fall over on bor starboard side, and the
emir cried out for aaaistanon The chief mate went in
charge of one of the steamer's lifeboats., and although
Lb. sea was high succeeded in saving all but a boy named
Gustav Broter, who was drowned. The steamer had a
hobs knocked in her side, which, however, was plugged
and caulked. She proceeded for the Isle of Wight, but
about two hours afterwards eke was found to be leaking
seriously forward, and although all her steam pumps
were set to work she gradually settled down forward.
Signals of distress were made to a large bark-rigged
steamer, but no nettles IVY taken. At Sam. the ship
Harchmont, Captain Rodger'', outward bound, from
London, bore down, and remained by the steamer until
ll o'clock. The steamer becoming unmanageable both
crews took to the baits, and fortunately got on board
the alarchmcnt. It was then blowing a gale from the
south-west, with a heavy rea.:',Boon after the steamer
soddenly dtsappesred. Captain Rodgers put the crew
on hoard • pilot-boat, in which they proceeded to
Portsmouth. The Danish captain and crew have been
taken care of by the DanishNice-Consul, Mr. Vanden-
burg, and the Germans by the German Vice-Consul.
The Vera is only six months old, and was employed in
the fruit trade.
