THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

The weather has commenced in this neighbour-
hood. Several fields of oats at syston and Thurmanton have
been cut down.—Lairesier Chronicle.
The weather has for sane days been most delightful, and
is all resrets well suited for bringing the fruits of the earth
to j.erfection. The consegenee a that all articles of food
pr“mise to be cheaper than ever, and already excellent
potatoes are selling at le. per peck. With the exception of
very prescribed localities, the late severe storms and heavy
rains have dune no injury to the growing crops, owing no
do ibt mainly t s the great strength of the straw, which in
miny districts has not had a parallel for years past. Yea-
terdLy morning we had a smart gale here, which wu still
MOM felt among the lochs indenting the Argyllshire coast.
So severe was it for a time that the steamers had some difil-
cti:ty in making the quays at several of the waterlog
places, and near the Lead of Loch °oil, a passenger, by
some mismanagement during the gale, fell into the water
between a lerry-beat and a steamer, but was quickly
rescued without serious injury.—rireenock Adrerturr.
We are happy to announce that from all quarters of this
part of the country we are receiving most favourable ac-
eouots of the crops; even the potatoes, notwithstanding the
fal•a rumours respecting them. are progressMg well to ma•
tardy, and give promise of a most abundant crop. Speci-
mens of tawny and other descriptions of oats, which we
bane seen, grown on the farm of Mr. 1. Caulfield, steam-
puket-ofilee, at his excellent and well-managed farm at
Mountain View, county Kilkenny aide of the river, surpass
anything of the kind we have ever sun. The taveuey is
actually six feet seven inches from stem to top, and the pro-
dues most abundant. We have specimens at our office, and
invite agriculturists to see them, and which, we have no
doubt, will astonish them by the superabundant produce
which they eshibit.— Waterford Mod.
The weather just now is all that could he desired for
bringing the growing crops to maturity. Although a good
deal of apprehension was excited by the long-cmtinued
prevalence of wet weather, we are able to say, from perso-
nal isheervation, that in this district, at least, no Injury
worth speaking of has resulted trout it, and the reports
which have reached us from different quarters of the coun-
try are to the same cheering effect. Should the present
genial sunshine lass we need not fear any bad consequences
from the late heavy rains. With regard to the potato crop,
it is true that the Simian has manifested itself, but as far as
we can learn, very partially. Considering the great breadth
of land which has been planted this year with this fecu-
lent, it is the opinion of competent judges that, even should
one-half of the crop be lust—a very exaggerated farinuite
of the probable loss—there would still be a very average
supply. We do not like to be too sanguine, but everything
we see and hear Vads us to 'ho conclusion that at the rue
of the harvilt, a grateful rep!e will be able to rotten
►eartfelt thanks to the bountiful Author of all good, for an
abundant yield.—Cork Southern Reporter.
