HARVEST.
weather has been peculiarly
!sting of grain, .and it may be
lose of the present week very
In outstanding. The earliest
y embraced for removing this
grain from the field after it has been cut ; perhaps in
our uncertain climate very. properly so, but it is en
tirely unquestionable that the quantity of grain slightly
deteriorated in quality by over much caution, sul jests
the grower to a vastly greater loss than would have
accrued from risking the chance of a more favour-
able opportunity; in other, words, by confiding
more on the wisdom, of Providence.. Thus for in-
stance, every day or night previous to the 16. h and
17th instant had produced some rain: more or lass in
quantity, nevertheless no inconsiderable breadth of
land was cleared of wheat on those days, which grain
if brought to market immediately would be deterio-
rated in value to the amount of three or four shillings
per quarter, nor will it be so good as if it had remained
in the field till the Monday or Tuesday following.
The harvesting of barley is proceeding forthwith ;
some fields have been cut ; where there is a sufficient
bulk of straw there will also be an ample_produce of
-grain, but by far the largest portion of the crop is de-
ficient of both the one awl the other.—Nerfilk
Chronicle.
The harvest fields in the neighboarbcod of Wake-
fie!d, during the past week, have a,sumed a busy
asrect. The weather remained fine until Thursday,
wl en occasionally slight showers of rain fell, but not
sufficient to stop harvest work. Yest,rday, the wea-
ther again was fine, and a great deal of wheat of fine
quality was housed. A few days m ire fine weather
in this quarter will bring the -harvest to a close.—
Leeds Times.
The greatest activity has prevailed throughout the
past week in getting in the harvest. Th wheats hav-
ing generally ripened very rapidly, the abundant sup-
ply of hands has 'consequently been found of value!
Much wheat has.been carried, and the liarst seasnix
gill now be short. Quality as well as quantity cha-
racterise the, present harvest.—Cambridge Chronicle.
A correspondent, dating from Drumcondra, county
Meath, on Monday, writes as follows :—"We are
_justcommencing our harvest here, but have, as yet,
had very broken weather—every second day wet.. If,
heiwever, dry weather would not set in,- all would be
well, as no damage, as far as I can learn, has 'yet
been done in this part of the country. Our meadows
are short; all other crops are an average—Sortharn.
117 h is-.
The weather for the last few days has been most
favourable for harvest operations, which in consc •
quence are carried on with great activity. There is
every prospect of the crops being gathered in a good
condition, and of a pleasing win-up to the harvest-
ing, a result on which we congratulate ourselves and
the country at large.—Corh Examiner.
The harvest in this neighbourhood has been pro-
gressing favourably. Previous to the rains of last
week the wheat was in a forward state, and in many
instances ready to be garnared. The wet weather
caused temporary suspension of operations, but thi.s
week, though some showers have fallen, no material
obstruction has been felt. The crops everywhere
looked well, and on seine farms were remarkably fine.
—Leicestershire Mercury.

The wheat crops were never perhaps more weighty
in ear than this season. - An ear from the farm of
Mr. Woodhau,s, of Stanmer, was counted, and found
to contain ninety-one grains.—Brighton Herald.
In some parts of the East-Riding are to be found
s•gilds of hay not yet led, next to which are corn fields
already cut. The wheat harvest in this district is
becoming general, and should the weather continue
favourable, there is little doubt but the crops will be
above the average, and in excellent condition. In
seine parts of Lincolnshire the cutting of barley has
already commenced ; some of it, however, is as yet
too green, and of cosrse quality. A few days more
fine weather, and no doubt a very great portion of the
wheat will be secured.—Hull Advertiser.

CARLISLE.—The farmers' hopes for fine weather
are still " deferred," and they are- heartily tired of
rain, which has fallen in large quantities since our
last, daily, with the exception of Sunday. On that
day expectation rose high ; the weather seemed to
have taken up ; the sky was clear, the sun 'shone
bright, and the mercury in the barometer had risen

and continued to rise during the day. Everybody
was delighted ; it was summer again ;' and yet there
was withal something suspicious in its appearance, the
change had come so suddenly—it seemed like many
other bright things, too bright to last. It has not lasted.
rain, rain has pitilessly pelted the crops with:a
perseverance perfectly provoking. There have, how-
ever, been intervals of tine weather, of which due ad-
yantage has been talcm. A good deal of hay has been
got, and grain has been cut, though not to any large
extent. The weatherwise confidently predict that a
favourable change is on the eve of taking place ; if
their prophesy prove true, the reapers will be busy
in this neighbourhood without delay, for there are a
few fields now ready for cutting.—CarlisleJournu/.
WEST CUMBERLAND.—The weather, for some time
past, has been wA, windy, comparatively cold for the
season of the year, and altogether unfavourable both
for the crops and the harvest field. Hitherto, how-
ever, the crops have sustained no injury, a circum-
stance best indicated by the steady prices and eetth,d
state of the provincial grain markets, which will
spoedily evince a change should the crops become
affected, either by the inclemency of the weather, or
throngh anyother cause.—/bid.
Tha weather has been rather unsettled of late. The
harvest, however, is progressing pretty quickly. A
vast quantity of grain has been cut during the last
and present weeks. Mr. Sykes, of Salthouse, has sue-
ceeded in stacking some oats, the produce of one field,
in excellent condition. The demand for reapers last
week was very great, and wages were 2s. 9d. per
day; but this week they are not quite so high, is 6tl,
king the max'mum. Wheat is a fair average crop,
and the other kinds of grain take off inch better than
could have been expected from the long-continued
dre gh t.—Laneaster Guardian.

The. barley harvest is now in full operation in this
neighbourhood, and many acres have bem housed in
excellent condition during the past week. The early
sown is very fine both as to quantity and quility.—
Hainp shire Independent.
VBRNEBS.—Taking our station on the Castle-hill
we can observe reapers busy at every point of the
compass. Before the end of the week, if the weather,
which is somewhat moist, hold favourable, a goodly
array .of stooks will cover not a few fields around. our
northern metropolis. Yesterday Mr. Smith, of
Messrs. Lawson and Smith, had a field of early Sibe-
rian oats next the nursery cut down. They yiel:led
well and were quite ripe. About Redcastle barley
harvest is commencing, and it will, we arc told, be
general in -about ten days. In that district the crop
is not in any way injured by the heavy rains. Straw
is light, but the car is remarkably well-filled—parti-
cularly as regards wheat and barley. The oat crop
generally will be ready for the sickle in the course
of fourteen days. Turnip and potatoes are about the
average crops. At Petty field potatoes of good quality
were used more than three weeks ago. Harvest is
not so far forward as might be expected in this parish
and the adjoining one of Arderseir. The crops, how-
ever, are good—very little lodged—and coming for-
ward steadily. Mr. Young, of Thin, had 20 shearers
at work on Tuesday week. Capt. Munro, Cold Cot-
' tage, cut down a field of barley of twenty-five acres
on Thursday last, at which no less than 250 shearers
were employed. From Strathspey we learn that some
barley has been cut, and that a general harvest may
be expected in about a fortnight. The oat crop is a
good one, but it will require a considerable time yet
to ripen. Unless the potatoe crop in that quarter is
touched by frost—too often the case—it will be one
of the best for years. Our correspondent says, that,
taking the crops as a whole, they will be just about
an average—nothing below, as was feared during the
period of drought in summer; The Inverness market
is stocked with fruit of the best description. Great
quantities of gooseberries, &c., find a ready sale as
soon as they are brought to town.—lnverness Courier.

THE DUKE OF MODENA.—Letters from Modena
announce that the Duke was taken exceedingly ill on
the night of the Gth, at his villa of Cottajo. Physicians
were sent for in all haste.
THE EYES.—Optical Improvements to enable persons
at an advanced age to read with ease, and to discrimi-
nate objects with perfect distinctness, and Small Acoustic
Instruments for relief of extreme deafness, &c. Messrs.
S. and B. Solomons, Opticians,
39, Albemarle-street,
Piccadilly, have invented Spectacle Lenses, &c., of the
greatest transparent power. The valuable advantage
derived from this invention over the Spectacles now in
common use is, that instead of vision becoming strained,
heated, weakened, and in numerous cases seriously in-
jured, it is preserved and strengthened, and very aged
persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most
minute occupation, and can see with those Lenses of a
much less magnifying power, and that which is a matter
of the greatest consequence is, that they do not requ're
the frequent changes to further helps. Also, Achromatic
Telescopes, Opera Glasses, Microscopes Invisible, and
all kinds of Acoustic instruments for relief of extreme
deafness. Caution.—Messrs. S. and B. Solcmons, Opti-
cians and Aurists, are not in any way connected with a
person of the same name in their immediate neighbour-
hood ; nor in any part of the country. To prevent
mis-
takes, be cautious, and observe—Only to be had at 39

respectable woman, aged forty-seven, named Graham,
residing in Scotland-road, Liverpool, was in the most
critical and dangerous state for nine months, being
sometimes almost choked with phlegm, with shortness of
breath, palpitation of the heart, together with a general
derangement and debility of the whole system. Her
life was in the greatest danger when she commenced
the use of these miraculous Pills, which restored her to
the highest state of health in five weeks. They-are the
finest medicine in the world for females of all ages. Sold
