emaciated that the youngest of the Belk an infant
feminists months old, has sines died from the effects of
long-continued want of food. The chairman of the

taken Into the union house he had them weighed; the

PRESENT APPELR A NCE OF THE CROPS.
There never probably was a better amp of wheat on
all good wheat soils (eeys the Gordosers' Ckroesichs and
Agricultural Glitsidis of last Saturday) than that of
18611. We shall no doubt have ilni/JlOllll to record of
extraordinary maxima In the experienee of wheat
grows this year; and the swap of the whole mop
will probably prove higher than it has done for many
masons. The eeriest sown barley and oats on good
deep soils are it'so good, but the instances of this kind
are so few that they are altogether lost in the general
experience of failure. Peas sod winter beans owning
earlier to harvest are pretty well. Peas iodised may be
considered a better crop than usual • but spring sown
beans are • failure everywhere. iIIIODD root amps
weasel versals, where sown early on well•oultivated
era still standing the drought, sad may yet
Produce • crop, bat swede. and turnips were never
before such a complete failure; and adding this to the
very light erop of bay which everywhere has been cat,
*hs mops* of winter food for live stock am very poor
indeed. Ot the potato mop, which is at length suffer-
ing from the drought, we have various report., generally
boa ever leveeing in this, that though Mill sound and
