The Crops.-The Alexandria Herald gives US
the following Information:

the
"June is, 1823.-Compaints Of the destruction
of the wheat crops have been resoundlng through
the country, by tie fly SC. These complaints are
not uncommon even at the best seasons ; and they
have been very much exaggerated in the present
case The wheat, it is 100 true, has been material
y injured in some parts by the fly but, this insect
having, generally, changed its form, and such of the
wheat escaped its ravages having arrived 10 such
state as to bid defiance it, there is no doubt OF
a much greater harvest in these articles than that
Of the last year.
The rye harvest has already commenced, and a
more abundant one was never known.
Corn, so far, is promising but it has to pass the
ordeal in the next TWO months of July and August.
This information we have received from various
intelligent and credible sources and, of course, re-
laes only to this section and its neighborhoods and,
from what has been stated 10 US, we believe that
there will be rye enough to supply every want, had
both the wheat and corn crops iaed.'

of beautiful Water Fall in Georgia,

A FLOATING ISLAND.
Mr.. Morse gives the following de-
scription of it;
sin the township of Atkinson, IN. H.
in large meadow, there is a small
Island OF six or seven acres, which was
formerly loaded with valuable pine
timber. and other forest wood. When
the me adow is overflowed, by means OF
an artificial dam, this island rises with
the water, which is sometimes six feet
Near the middle of this land is a small
pond, which has been gradually lessen
ing ever since it was known, and is nov
almost covered with verdure. In this
place pole fifty feetlong has disappear
ed, without finding bottom. In the
water of that pond, there have been
fish in plenty, which, when the meadow
has been overlooked, have appeared
there, and when the water has been
drawn of, have been left on the mea-
dow, at which time the island settles to
its usual place"
