The harvests Of winter grain in this county are
nearly over. The crops of rye are fine, those oil
wheat Indifferent, as is very commonly the case
A portion of the hay, which is very abundant, is
also gathered in the best condition. Oats are
very large, nearly ripe, and the crop much above
the average. Corn, of which third more than
usual has been planted, thus far promises well
but in this section and Immediately south of us
is suffering much at present from drought, but
in every other direction to the north and cas-,
rains have been abundant and nothing has suf
tercd. A large crop of buckwheat has beer
sown.-L Poughkeepsie Eagle.
| Our farmers are now in the midst of harvest
ing. We are glad to learn that, notwthstand
Ing the unpromisng appearance of wheat Il few
weeks ago, there is now prospect of a fair yielt
some tn nix a full average crop. That which
has been harvested is plump and is of most ex
cellent quality. We have had several refresh
| ing showers lately, which were much needed
Spring crops are looking better.-[Canandagua

Ono WHEAT HARvEsT.-The following is
the very first word we have received vet from
the great Wheat district of Northern Ohio since
the commencement of harvest. As goes" old
Stark, we trust, J." so goes" all that part of the
State. The Massillon Gazette of 18th inst
grain cutting. The prospect, so far as we can
learn is of the most promising kind. Many
fields yield abundanily as they ever have done
in some others there is a deficiency. Upon the
whole, it is pronounced good crop" Carroll
county does not turn out so well. The Free
Press of Carrollton says that the YIELD will be
under half an average crop.
WHEAT HARvEsT.-The Wheat crop was
larger than was generally expected In this
county it is nearly an average. The Wheat is
Oft good quality, plump and heavy. In the
counties of Wood and Hancock, the crop is
large, and the Wheat of a very superior quality
-[Toledo (Ohio) Blade.
| The Grain crop is to be an unusually abun
dant one in all parts Of the State--cmbracing r
that crop, Wheat, Oats, Corn and Rice. The
favorable seasons, from now to the end, and 4
very late frost, to be even an ordinary average
while there is possibility that with favorable
seasons and a late frost, a moderate average croI
may be realized.
| We hear much the same reports Of the state
Of the crops from Georgia and Alabama. Tn,
crops further South may be better but in al
places Cotton is Il month later than usual.
| On the whole, crop of more than the las
years product, say 100000 bales, is not to b,
relied on. 1t may possiblygo to 100000 bales
but this is scarcely to be expected, under tn,
unusually backward growth of the plant, tn,
unfavorable weather, the bad stand and the ir
regular working.-[ Charleston Mercury.
| CASADA-The Cobourg Star of the 18th
says :" The prospects of the harvest in this dis
tIict are rapidly improving, There is no longe
doubt that we shall have an abundant har
vest"
| SpARrAyBURG, S. c., july 20--Ths is Cour
week and we have had an opportunity Of seeing
persons from all portions of the District, who in
form us that the Corn crop is actually bette
than was ever known. The account ofthe Corr
crops, on end in the neiglborhood of the Gross
Anchor Lands, is almost incredible--they are
so fine.
The Wheat and Cotton crops will hardly rcac!
an average yield, as we predicted not long since
