Tie Wheat Crop Of Ohio.-Accounts
in the public prints in all parts Of the
State, as well as those received from indi-
vidual observers. confirms the apprchcn-
sions hitherto expressed, that the wheat
crop in Ohio has been greatly reduced.
both in quantity and quality. by the rust.
and the attacks Of the weevil. With the
exception Of a small portion of the Wes-
tern Reserve, which has comparatively
escaped, the loss seems TO be nearly
equal throughout the State-the variation
being as great between different fields in
the vicinity, as between different counties.
From conversations with gentlemen who
have taken pains to inquire, and who have
come from various parts of the State, we
are constrained to believe that the harvest
will not exceed in quantity one half Of the
promise Of the opening season.

Virginia-The harvest is pretty well
through, in all Virginia east Of the noun
tains, and though the crop is unusually
late, and suffered somewhat from rust,
and very much from the April frosts, it will
exceed an average one. The season has
been dry and favorable for securing the
crop.
Missouri-This is harvest week. We
learn from many Of the farmers that the
wheat crop will be tolerably fair one,
and the grain generally very sound. The
prospect Of the hemp crop. in many Sec
tons Of the country is good. As far as
we have passed the growing fields. the
appearance is promising. few fields
are blooming too soon. Oats, corn, po,a-
toes and grass seem to promise an album
dan, yield.-[Lexington (Mo.) Express.

MicAisan.-We observed in riding
through the southern part Of the State
that the wheat crop is unusually promising
In this conclusion we are strengthened
by conversing with farmers from other
portions Of the State, who unite in saying
that the wheat crop never promised bet

favorable Cool and dry weather from
the present time until harvest, will insure
crop such as has seldom been harvest

Illinois reports are likewise good. so far as
received. In the region around Spring.
