Michigan say the crops, every where are very
fine. In the great wheat district of this State,
the wheat is unusually heavy, and the ground to
be reaped larger than ever before. Indian corn
is strong and healthy, and promises well. Some
plpces have stu fered from drought. AT Troy,
from this cause, hay is dollar hundred. There
