an inquiry instituted as to how she became possessed of it.

THE HARVEST.—The improvement in the crops from the
rains is something quite wonderful. We never remember so
important a benefit. The wheats are increased in the ear
immensely, and the growth of the barley both in the stalk
and ear is astonishing. An agriculturist, upon whom we
can rely, assures us that his barleys have risen 12 inches in
ten days. But we nevertheless apprehend that neither crop
will be equal to that of last year, though there are prodigi-
ously fine appearances on some of the heavy and light lands
of Norfolk. The second crop of hay will be greatly in.
creased. We have only to hope for a fortnight of sunshine
to bring on an early harvest—Norwich Mercury.
