Bucks CouSrr, (Pa) August is.

rather unpropitlous, we believe there never
was liner weather to bring forward the later
crops, consisting corn, buskwheat and po-
tatoes. The frequent showers have preser
we'd vegetation from being checked by the
burning sun, and our pasture fields are as
luxuriant as If It were the menth Of June
We have eonversed with many farmers whs
say they have never known the fields Of corn
to look SO promising; and upon the whole,
they have scarcely ever experienced season
when their lasers have been SO abundantly
blessed.

dering, that at Mont Alto Rolling Mills, be-
longing to Fl s s Hughes, in this county,

name Of Evans, who few days before had
meved to the works, having slrolled into the
Mill unobserved by the workmen, who were
buslly engaged, stretched his hand to the
Rolls when in full motion, which dreadful to
relate, cau5h bold Of his fingers, and in a
single instant ni'h enc shrek, he passed
through the Rells, and came out on the O.
ther side literally crushed TO pieces! His
death was instantaneous.
