THE WEATHER AND CROPS.

/I U NTIN GDoNsinßE.—The harvest in this county is nearly
brought to a conclusion ; there is here and there a piece of
beans to carry, but most of the corn has been got in in fine
condition. The stack-yards are not so well filled as we have
seen them. The yield is not great, but the quality is good.
The late fine rains have done much good to the pastures, and
also the turnip crops, both of which have improved greatly
these last six or seven days. There is now but little com-
plaints of any shortness of keeping, and stock are doing well.
_Prices continue very low. The follows are in fine condition.
The weather has been favourable for them throughout the
season.

N°"°Lx.—We have now arrived at the full conclusion of
the harvest (with the exception only that the crop of beans
is still standing,) and perhaps no period can be referred to,
within the memory of the present generation, in which grain every description had been secured in such fine condition
as that to which our observations are directed. With regard
to the crop of wheat, as far as quality is concerned, there can
be
good hut one opinion_
namely, that the sample is superlative
.

correspondent says, " that with them the cutting is nearly

dale." We learn from another correspondent that their
crops were all cut last week, and ere this we believe they will

their severe labour.—Glasow Chronicle.
EARLY HARVEST.—On Saturday last, the 10th instant.
there were in the Corn Exchange, Newcastle, 183 samples of
wheat, 176 of
which
were of this year's crop, the quality very

The herring-fishing this season in Lochfine has been very
=iuc2essful. The take has not been quite so great as has oc-
casionally been drawn in the same waters, but any deficiency
in quantity has been amply counterbalanced by the quality of
of the fish, which is excellent. The salters are making ready
purchases, and giving good prices, and the fishermen are in
high spirits. Tarbert, which is the chief station on the loch,
presents every morning a very lively scene, and one of con-
siderable novelty and interest to the stranger. The harvest
is making progress on the banks of the loch, and in general
throughout Argyleshire. There is now a cheering prospect
of a plentiful and cheap ,
snlithy of the very best potatoes and
herrings, which form the "aPle diet of a large portio of the
poorer classes.—Glasgow Arm,
