The Cropr.-HaymakinR.
the eth, SAYS:

The Lehigh pa hegtsteT oil the s'tn, says
The prospect of abundaat harvest OF the various
productions Of agriculture was scarce ever moro
Rattering than at present in this county. The
Wheat crop, especially, gives cheering promise OF
an excellent yield. We do not remember to have
ever seen it more heavy or apparently strong, and
If nothing shall hereafter occur to inure IT, there
will be enough and considerable TO share.
The same is true in relation to most other des-
criptions Of grain. with perhaps the single excep'
ton Of corn, which is rather backward In conse-
quence of the long continued cold weather and the
ravsges of the cut worm. The warm days OF tho
past week have given Il q mewhat more healthy
and vigorous appe arance, and If the remainder OF
the season shall be favorable nearly an average
crop may be confidently expected.
On Saturday last our farmers commenced their
labors in the hay fields, and now 10 full tide OF
operation in one OF the most abundant crops OF hay
that ever was cut
The grass was, with very few exceptions, never
mere luxuriant in growth and taken altogether, we
do not think that the yield of the present season
was ever exceled. May tho fair weather which
has thus far attended the labors Of our country
friends, be continged 10 them until hsy making 10
completely ended.
TIE wheat and rye Geds look remarkably fine,
and give promise Of heavy crops. The oats, corn
and potatoes, are also prospecting finely under tho
present favorable weather; and altogether, the
husbsndman has good reasons to rejoice g. the ex-
IRENE fruitiulness Of the present season.
IL wss feared that the fruit had been nearly de-
stroyed by the severe weather it experienced IN
the early part of the season but, though u was
doubtless good deal injured, there will be little
lack of most kinds. Apoles promise an average
yield Peaches will perhaps be less than usual
