REVIEW OF THE SEASON.

The past summer has been generally healthy
throughout the mining region. This remark
will not apply, however, universally. We
learn that much sickness has prevailed in par
icuar localiiies--noi in the river towns alone,
where bilious fevers are expected TO prevail
bu, in some OF our inland villages--reinote
from rivers or s,agnant waiers--upon the dry,
breezy prairie ridges II has been suggested
that the cause Of sickness in some Of these
towns, may be attributed TO the noxious gases
that pass off iu the smoke Of smelling furnaces
and mingle with the atmosphere inhaled -
This is n subject worthy Of serious inquiry -
The weather has been favorable TO mining OPP
oralions; and more mineral has undoubtedly
been raised the past season 10 this region than
in any previous year. This is owing In part
no doubt, TO the fact that more digging has
been done than usual-,here are more miners
and il may also be partly accidental; for It is
fael that ia some seasons there seems to be a
general deluge OF luck amongst mners-whlie
in other seasons luck is generally at low water
mark The high price Of mineral Is very
strong inducemeo, 10 dig for IL; and consider
ING the moderate expense Of living, mining
was never perhaps moro remuneraiive than II
has been the past season. AS might be ex'
pec,ed, Agriculture has been greatly stimulated
by the success aud prosperity of the miners
Our farmers have learned that they have an
excellent market ut their own door-and are
very little dependon, for the means OF selling
their surplus products. upon the South or The
East. Every thing considered, there IS ne part
eFths Uaiied States egering inducements to TIE
farmer. equal 70 those offered in the mining re-
gion !; and the people in Ohio and every where
else are jus, beginning to find cut this fact
The consequence is tsa, in no former year has
immigration to the mines been nearly as grea'
as this year. Such a, least is the TACT SO iaf Is
the county of Grant is concerned.
The crops ,hIs season in our region, so tar as
we can learn, are exceedingly fine. To par
,icularize: cats are good; wheat, although
rather thin, is remarkably heavy, and yields
much more and finer -four per bushel than II
Welded las, year. Indian corn was nsrer bet
ter potatoes are large, but few in the hill ;
we should pronounce the crop Of potatoes light
or, on The whole, than usual bu, Of qualify
which we defy Maine or Ireland to beat
Taxing every thing into consideration, we be-
lieve the mining region is now making longer
and better strides in the career TO greatness
than have been before made and that, con-
sderipg the rapid advance Of the Eas'etn part
Of this Territory, Wisconsin is now making
better time ,haa any State OF Territory on the
turl.
