TiterOesrit;ery Upious rain came most opportunely, and
was particaluly wanted, more especially for the pastures,
whisk had become parched and bare. and for the potato's,
which without moisture would soon have Mena failure. It
is wonderful already to see the improvement, and potatoes
now promise an abundant crop, nor have we beard the
slightest whisper of the appestats, of disease. Owing to
the extreme backwardness of the spring, harvest will be late
ander any circumstance., but slate harvest is not generally
an unorolitie one, and is certainly best for the labourer.—

There are general complaints of the hay crops being very
light's this neighbourhood. Wheat and barleys ars very
promising—the latter especially so. Those heavy rains
have laid the corn somewhat.—esoich Joernol.
The hay harvest is now general, and, from all that we can
bear, is good crop ; fully an average one, if not more.
Several farmers in the neighbourhood have bottord their
crop in excellent condition. Corn is shooting very fast, end
premises to be an abandant cro • the same may be said of
barley. There is not a great breadth of wheat sown in our
neighbourhood, but what there is looks uncommonly well,
and promisee an abundant yield: Bath potatoes end turnips
are looking extremely well, and have grown uncommonly
fast daring the past fortnight.—Kendol Moreitni.
The recent genial showers have revived all grain crops in
a remarkable degree. The country, proverbial u Wales is
for the beauty of its aspect, r looked so bewitching as at
peessat.—Carelearthen

The general cry amongst tauten now is, " How the coops
have improved lately." Blues our last report, about three
weeks ago, everything has grown apace, aid the country is
really loAing beautituL Wheat, though in many places
thin, displays a rich and luxurious blade; barley and oats
are generally good, though backward, owing to the late
soaring. Potatoes are growing remarkably welL—York-
sAirenems.

k•iy harvest has eonsmeneed in this neighbourhood,
and although the crops are light, several fields base been
got in in Ilse oondition. The heavy rain which fell on
Tuesday and Wednesday ham retarded operations for the
present. The wheat crops in the neighbourhood of Newark
are looking vary thin. We cannot expect an average crop,
and there is every probability of a late harveat.—NoUing.

For some days the weather has been of a temperature to
which we are little accustomed, the thermometer ranging
from 75 to 77 degrees in the shade. Stimulated by such solar
influence, the various crops which now wave luxuriantly
over our soil, have been progressing as favourably as could
be desired. The oats are partially in ear in numerous fields,
and by the close of the week they will be generally so. The
potatoes, a very promising crop, are full wrought. Turnips
and mangel-wurzel are undergoing the singling praises.
The wheat has attained its fall stature, and with a continu-
ance of good dry weather will be mature in August. This
day the sky is rather louring, the thermometer bas sunk to
98, and there are indications of rain. A few showers would
be of advantage in increasing the volume of our rivers,
which have shrunk to mere driblets In their thrones, but
as for the crops they do not appear to require it, so lusty
is their growth.—North British ,Isr Nail.
The very heavy showers which fell during nearly
the whole of Tuesday, and part of Wednesday, have
been peculiarly beneficial for the generality of the crot s on
the light lands around this neighbourhood. The wet, no
doubt, made It unfortunate for the hay harvest, although
some portion of it was secured. The wheat here is looking
rather a thin plant, owing to the wetness of the spring, but
the barley is a heavy crop, although It is considerably laid
in many plasm by the rain. The showers were parti-
cularly favourable for the beans and peas and mange' and
' turnip crops, as well as for the potatoes, which are doing
well, and we are happy to hear are not affected by any ap-
pearance of disease.—Chekiezford Chronicle.
