THE HARVEST.

The 'Wheat harvest in this neighbourhood
(Dereetehire) is nearly finished, and is as well secured as we
ever remember; the crops are good, and quality excellent.—
Smne oats arc also harvested be tine condition ; the crop an
average. The barley harvest is jase commencing, with every
prospect of a good crop and fine quality. In fact, taking the
crops of hay and corn altogether, we hays been given to under.
stand that it is the most abundant season that has been known
for the last 20 years, and if we were to state a longer period we
should not exaggerate.—(Sherborne Mercury.)
The weather being most propitious, the labours of the har-
vest-field have continued since our last without intermission ;
another week of it. and very little corn will be found abroad in
this neighbourhood.—( Worcester Hera4l.)
Very little wheat remains now uncut, and the satisfaction
at the productiveness of the crops is universal. A more fa-
vourable time for reaping could not be ; and the rains, which it
was expected would have done much injury, have proved, with
the exception of having caused the wheat, in a trifling de.
gree, to grow in the ear (which we are informed was the ease
round the neighbourhood of Warminster), of no detriment
whatever; while to the barley and oats it was peculiarly bene-
ficial. Of these species of corn, the crops are generally abun-
dant and thriving, anti if the weather continue good until they
are cut, anti safely stowed, the husbandman will have every rea-
son to he grateful to a bountiful Providence.—( Bath Journal. )
The weather during the whole of the past week was exactly
such as the farmers wished for to accelerate harvest home. The
greatest activity has since prevailed, and a vast quantity of
wheat has in consequence been cut, and carried in prime con.
dition to the stack or barn. The fear that was expressed
touching growing wheat has now vanishecL The barley and
oat crops have been equally benefitted by the favourable change
of the steadier, which, if we may judge from present appear.
ances, promises to be of a seasonable continuance. New wheat
has been sold here at lilt per 10att..4 .14.;0es Paper. )
The labours of the harvest have been very generally began in
this neighbourhood, and promise to be rewarded most boun-
teously ; for never did crops of all sorts appear inure prolific.
There have been a few occasional showers of rain during the
week, but not of a continuance to do any berm to the crops.—
, (Lricester Chronicle)
During the last week, the weather in this county (Cornwall)
has been most propitious for the labours of harvest, which have
became general. Oar correspondents from every part of the
county represent the crops as abundant, and the grain as being,
generally, of the very best quality.—( West Briton.)
' The beautiful weather with which we have been favoured
during this week has enabled the farmers in the vale of this
county to 'tousle an immense quantity of wheat in prime condi-
tion. We have great pleasure to add, that the oldest farmers
do not recollect more abundant crop* of corn of every descrip-
tion. The poor are almost every where with welcome allowed

Mr. Field, of Aylesbury, haft in his pm,seseien an ear of
wheat which measures Rix inches in length, and weighs seven
dwts. This gigantic production was grown at Little Kimble,
in a field in the occupation of Mr. J. I
e'ort.oin, and plucked
near the hedge of the field in which it grew. The field had
been manured with mud taken out of a fish-Tama. The who,
produce of the field is extraordinary.--(Bucks Chronicle.)

result of the present growth.

The Rev. William Leeson, brother of Mr.
Robert Leeson, solicitor, and a senior Fellow of Clare Hall,
Cambridge, for some days had betrayed symptoms of a de-
ranged mind. On Thursday morning, the lthli instant, he
disappeared from his brother's house at Wiltbnl, while the
servant, who had received charge to watch over him, went to
fetch his breakfast. On his being missed, search was made
for him, but in vain. At length information was received
that he hail been seen walking on the right bank of the Trent,
leading to Clifton-grove, and persons were employed to drug
the river. • Hopes were then entertained that the Reverend
Gentleman

Mr. Ward caused the sail tidings to be communicated to
the family at Wilford. On examining the pockets of the
deceased, nineteen sovereigns and nine shillings in silver were
found, which, together with a gold watch, belonging to the
Reverend Gentleman, were taken possession of by Mr. Ward,
and restored by him to the family. On Tuesday evening an
Inquest was held upon the body, when a relative of the de-
ceased gave such an account as to the state of his mind, previ-
ous to the time when he disappeared, as quite satisfied the Jury
that he laboured under an aberration of intellect. In addition
to this, a servant of the Rev. William Clifton's deposed to
seeing the deceased about nine o'clock on Thursday morning,
near the water-side at the entrance of Clifton Lordship, which
seems to have been the last time he was seen alive. The Jury,
without hesitation, found a verdict of " Lunacy."—Mr. Leeson
was about 37 years of age, and besides his fellowship. he held a
small living in Lincolnshire.—(Nutibighaln Journal.)
