reached 77. Chattertoe's figures ware a four, six twos,
and eight singles. Shim, with Oscroft, increased the total
to 138, when he was caught at mid-wicket-off, where Paling
was also caught, the tete!, at hi., the fourth wicket, being

be had completed seven more be was naught mid.wicket.on
by Dean. His figures were • five, which was a finedrive from
Ike bowler Knight ; be also made four fours, five threes, 14
twos, and the remainder were single'. This ptiyer was
loudly applauded by the immense asesmblage, for accom-
plishing this feat. His wee the fifth wicket, and the total

sues figures comprised tines fonts, two threes, two twee,

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.

NORTH NOTTING HAMEIHIRR.--•-EAST RFTYORD,

A 111178; 23. —The ell-absorbing topic of the week has been
that of tin harvest. It is alike the interest of all, and
about which much anxiety bas bees unaffeeted. As far as
we have hitherto goes, this large and important agricul
*sal district has not had mach to complain of for
although we have experienced a somewhat alatimiog
Mac we have not had the large pluvial results to which
some other parts of the kingdom have been enbjecte I.
Harvest comuseneed about the 26th of July cc the early
forest soils, hut it we. not until the beginning of the
present month that it became gereeral. Beiog rather
forward, pigsty of rayon were to be had, gad large
breadths won fall before their Berthas. From the 4th to
the 11th the weather we remarkably propitious, and a
good deal of oars was led in very good conditioa. From
the Ilth to the 17th the weather was rather ticklish ;

bat still grain wee carted horns, and since then neatly
all the white corn Ism be= safely garnered on the light
soils to the west of R.:tepid ie fact, all the large farmers
in that direction have all but finished their harvest, and
will do ea daring the provost week, should the present hoe
weather costume. Wish regard to the yield here, it
varies coasiderably ; hot although beneath the avenge
of the List two year., it is proving better than bad at
ore time been eaticioated, and we beer of few complaints
el "rust," " mildew," " small corn," and the like.—lfot.
fisiGhent Journal.
BE6WICR. —The harvest began here in thq latter
sad of last weak, and, but for the unfavourable suite of
the weather, would have been well advanced by this time.
.Notwithatanding the retarding lufluecim of the weather,
however, cutting has been vigorously proceeded with
wherever the weather permitted ; and some of the more
emerge tie farnien were so anxious to avail themselves of the
earliest opportunity of securing their crops, that on Setae.
day last, at the gate where shearers were hired, they were
induced to give am much as five shillings s-day, at which
figure • good many hands were engaged. These
prime, however, were sot maintained. On Tuesday the rain
pot a stop to all harvest work. The weather cleerieg up
again on Wednesday, rutting was once more resumed, and,
with fine weather, might now be continued noiotereuptedly,
The heavy rains on Tuesday had in several instances con-
siderably laid the heavier portions of the grain ; hut, on the
whole, the injury sustained from this rause ie small. The
crops, where cut, bulk well in the stock, are well filled in
the ear, and altogether appear to be little if anything under
a fair average.
HAIVIPIC.—The weather during the last fortnight
has been generally moat =favourable for the important
operations of harvest. Still, by dint of perseverance, and by
emploviec all the strength available, some who have a large
breadth of lend in white crop have =ado such good use of
the dry sunshiny ititervels, that they have nearly completed
the Gutting, sad should the weather continue as it now is,
lies, with a healthful drying breeze, this week will see all
their gru:n is the stook. Os the corn in stock, which has
been exposed to the miss, it is satisfactory to report that its
condition generally is not seriously affected.— Scotsman.
AYRIIIIIIIII.—The season is still proving favour. I
able. The (request showers we Kayo bad of late no doubt
were rather tantalising to the haymaker, and caught un-
pleasantly many people midway with their stacking. Orals
also, were weighty, has bees laid • little, and will conse-
quently he more difficult to out. Making allowance for
these drawbacks, h , the rains bays done immense
good. Pustures that were browniog and withering have '
bees quite renovated, and now look fresh and green, and
the root crops are rejoicing in their good fortune.—Ayr
Advertiser.
PLIML-IKO have had another week of wet
heck= weather, and harvest work has been very mash
retarded. Friday and Saturday were good days ; but the
Gun has hardly looked out since Monday, and rain has fallen
men or less every day. Some fields in the neigebourhood,
which were cut three weeks ago, have been carted ; but
mat of the cut min is still out, and most so remain till the
weather changes. After all, the wet is not an uotnixed
=U. Pastures and turnips have much improved ; but, on
the other heed, some potato fields look rather suspiciously.
: srs=ve bear but little of the dimmer ; but it is is some
and dry weather le dadvalde on amount both of
the potato and grain crops.—Perthshire Advertiser.
Bitrasr.—The past week has been showery, but
set without frequent gleams of sunshine, and for the most
part coudtutive to the growth and ripening of both weals
semi greets mops in plans where they have not yet arrived
et sesterity. But dry weather would now be more ad-
vantageous, so as to permit of harvesting operatioes
being mewl with doe vigour. The cutting of grain is
pressedieg as well as the weather will allow, and • gnat
alai of oats and wheat bee* come neder the settle
sot avoids( melds*. The reports at to the quantity and
= ertf cereals are very alter to those a last week.
