STRIKE OF THE BOOTMAKERS. -- The
Journeymen have at length returned to their occupation,
but still the masters keep up the high retail prices by which
they must realise immense profit. There is one shop,
however, in the Strand, SALE and Co., No. S3k, who are
now making the hest WELLINGTONS to measure at a
Guinea the pair.. Liberality deserves to be encouraged.
THlRST.—Labouring people should be in-
fortned, that they might preserve their health by abstaining
front drink during the heat of the day ; and if they drink
copiously of water or whey in the evenings, thirst Will
not assail them in their working hours. This remark was
made, and recommended by 'an officer of high rank in
Africa.— Caledonian Mercury. '

A wheat-stalk, grown in this neighbourhood,
was shown to us on Tuesday, measuring from the root to
the head, which was very heavy, the extraordinary length
of seven feet three inches, the largest we ever recollect to
have heard of.—Stockport Advertiser.

THE HARVEST .—The crops of every de-
scription of corn in this neighbourhood are of the finest
description, and there is every prospect of an abundant
harvest. The wheats look remarkably well and Oats have
already been cut in Neaton-Norris. Should the weathef
continue favourable, this will become general in our imme-
diate vicinity.—Stockport Advertiser.

Throughout the counties of Berks a'hi Buck-
ingham there is every prospect of a most abundant harvest.
Nothing can look better than the wheat and barley crops,
which in some placs are begun to be harvested. Oats, in
some instances, look well, in others they present but a thin
appearance. The potatoes want rather more rain ; how-
ever, if a few genial showers should come between this
time and the time of their ripening, this crop will be as
good as can be wished.—Morning Paper.
The last fortnight of fine weather has greatly
advanced the crops. Oats, in early situations, are nearly
at their length ; and generally they are coming into ear.
Harvest, therefore, may be expected to begin about the end
of August. Wherever the ground is in tolerable heart, the
produce, both in grain and straw, is likely to be abundant.
On cold poor soils the straw will be short. Barley
will be a moderate crop. The wheat has improved during
the warm weather; but the want of plants will occasion
a great defalcation in the return. Potatoes are beginning
to bloom. They are scarcely so luxuriant as they promised
to be. Young partridges are en the wing. The coveys
appear t 9 be uumerogs.”Phoonsaster Gawk,
