@The Wheat harvest. generally, is
just commencing in this county, being
about three weeks later than usual, be-
fore the years Of partial failure. The
crop is much better than the most san
guine anticipated in the early part of
the season, and the grain is Of excellent
quality. The Rye crop. in the general, is
excellent, and the Oats most abundant
The Corn crop. also, is very promising.
