Much has been said or late ofhe prospects of
short crops, but no small allowance must be made
for The designs of spectators, The effects OF tho
drought in western New York will not in the end
be very disastrous, and the whole there is no
reason tor experimenting that the products Of the

The following is from NJ papers
The CRoPs, There is no lack of rain, and as
crops are very backward this season, there is still
time for them thicken up, The farmers express
it, and yield, upon the whole liberal harvest.

still there is every reason to believe,that snch de-

increase in Michigan; Wisconsin, and Northern
Indiana and Illinois That the excess to come

the deficiency in this State, there can be no do ub,

increased foreign demand for American bread
stuffs, there is good why the price o.

the coming harvest than it has been for six months

We say "much higher" because we believe
there is greater increase in the number Of per
sons engaged in domestic manufactures, and othe,

SHOCKING SUFFERING OF A HORSE.

AN English provincial paper gives the
| following account Of the agony Of a noble
horse, which had been bitten by mad doc.
month interviewed between the bite and
| the death Of the horse.
He was driven knee.deep in the water:
but, though showing no marked repugnapce
to water, he refused to drink. Without ia
KING OFT the harness, he was again placed in
the stable. In about three hours afterwards
TINS young man, thinking the animal would
no" De somewhat cooler, re-entered the sta
Die, but found him wilder than ever-stri-
KING out furiously, and making everv ina
glnaole effort to bite. After great risk and
exertlons, however, he succeeded in taking
OFT the harness, with the exception of the
collar. Throughout the day, every succeed
| ing hour added to the intensity of the ami
mafs fury, and by evening his contortions
OF rage and agony were absolutely terrific.
ny that time the door was strongly barrica-
ded, in the fear that he should make his es-
cape.
Two or three individuals, anxious to see
the animal in the heat Of his paroxysms
made way into the loft above him. The
scene was appalling in the extreme. Below
them was the Infatuated brute, which was
dlmIy seen througha dense cloud of steam,
ted by the fires which ragged through and
dlstended his nostriIs. Every vein and
muscle was frightfully swollen. He had
broken his binding; torn his collar to tat
tiers, and was kicking and stamping furi-
ously through the stable. Now he would
neigh, now heave groans of the deepest
agony, then, shaking as with an ague fit,
would gather hmselfup, and suddenly with
a scream, spring alof:, making the very
house shake with his fall. Then he would
groan again, or, gnashing his teeth, roll
his eyes wildly and savageiy around. He
ever and anon tore with his teeth the flesh
from his breast, would shake for a mo-
moment the quivering and bleeding car.
ron, and then dash it from him, as if
he found relief in the intensity of his sul-
lerlngs. The walls Of the stable were now
literally covered with blood and foam; and
IN this state the animal continued till ex-
hausted nature gave way. The poor brute
died about two O'clock on the following
morning. On examination, the ca rter's
arm was found TO be dreadruly lacerated,
and other parts Of his body severely in

Moon Shime.-There are probably very
few people aware Of the fact that the ligh:
of the moon is Of full and beautiful green
color. This fact is easy Of demonstration
however, by the following method. When
the moon shines full, lay sheet Of white
paper horizontally in its rays, and by the
side Of the paper place lighted lamp
Place some small object between the lamp
and the paper SO as TO cast shadow on
the paper OF the size Of dollar or less
Then cut hole corresponding with the
size Of the shadow, through another sheet
Of paper, and place it between the first
sheet and the moon, so that the moons
rays may fall on the shadow, and on that
only. The shadow will show full green.
Whether this is an evidence that the moon
is covered with green foliage and heritage
or is, as reported, merely green cheese,
we leave our readers to determine.
