RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS.—At the Third Court, yes
terday, John Pinkerton, the common lodging-home
keeper, was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment,
for having in his possession a quantity of stolen pro
perty.
Harvest labours seem almost at hand. Wheat fields
are rapidly ripening, and oats colour fast. From the
appearance of the fields, it would seem that a great
breaith of cereals will be ready in the ensuing week,
and 'if hands be not set to work much of the best of the
grain will be lost by over ripening. We hope, ere long,
to see the reaping machine at work in this country, and
if farmers would try to renounce old prejudices, and cut
wheat and oats before they are fully ripe, a larger quan-
tity of grain would be saved. In the heavier descrip-
tion of potato oats there is often a full sixth of the
whole lost by over ripening.—Belfast Mercury.
A rather unfavourable change ha., taken place in the
weather, rain having fallen for the last few days almost
without intermission. Is is feared that the crops will
sustain some injury, after the unusual drought which
prevailed, and in conseqmence of the ungenial nature of
the season, the changes being most trying and abrupt.
We still continue to receive favourable repart„a/uf the
potato crop, which will be more than an average one
this year. Harvest operations have commenced in
some districts in this locality, and have been interrupted
by the continuance of rain.—Sllio Journal.
Since our last the weather hal undergone a change
Much rain has fallen, which has given a fresh appearance
to the country after the late parchir, drought. The
turnip crop, where it was not attacked with the fly, is
very healthy. The cereal crops are progressing to ma-
turity throughout the county. In some districts reap-
ing has already commenced, and a large quantity of oats
have already fallen beneath the sickle. Should the wea-
ther continue fine, and there is every appearance of it
since yesterday, the country; through Divine favour-
will be blessed with an early and abundant harvest,-7-
Carlow Sentinel.
