WEATHER, CROPS, ETC.

The Lake Providence Herald says: The heat
in this section is awful. We are having that
ld-fashioned, orthodox hot weather we have
heard of in the days of yore. The crops are
hourishing finely throughout the parish.
The Camden (Ala) Republic says; As far as
we can learn the crops Of this county are said
to be very good. Some of our planters have
made most extraordinary corn crops, while 9TH
ers whose crops are not yet matured may suffer
materially for want Of rain. Cotton is general
ly looking we'll.
THE WEATHER-That yenerated gentleman,
the "oldest inhabitant, is in perfect sweat
upon the subject of the weather. He says that
it passes his comprehension-neve heard of or
experienced the like before. He thinks all ma
ture must have been converted into monster
new patent cooking stove, where boiling, stewing
and roasting are all going on at once! This old
gentlemen is evidently becoming FESTIVE under
che drying and evaporating process. Well, it is
some warm, and no mistake. EGrifhn Union,

The Georgia Federal Union of the 25th
says: After aldrought Of two weeks or more, at
tended by burning sun, we were refreshed last
Friday with fine shower. Corn has suffered,
not to the extent we had feared, but the injury
is material, and will shorten the crop in this
neighborhood. We hear unfavorable accounts
of the cotton crop, but cotton is o secondary
matter just now, and most generally takes
care'of itself if the Fall is propitious. The
danger now is the ears of corn, though promis-
ing in external appearance, will be found to be
deficient in grain. Our country never enjoyed
better health.
GEORGIA Corn CRoPs.--A gentleman, who
had travelled from Burke to Whitfield county in
forms the Penfeld Banner that the prospects for
aof
never better Without some disaster, he gave
it as his opinion, that the crop will be the
largest ever raised in the State.
CROPS OF ILLINOIS. Accounts from Northern
Illinois state that all the various crops in that
section promise an almost unprecedented yield.
The number Of acres of wheat soWed is one
| third larger than last year, and the yield bids
| fair to surpass the usual yields by an average
| Of from three to five bushels per acre. Oats
| are luxurirnt, and corn is thrifty.
CRoPs IN INDfANA-The Huntington Herald
| says the weeyil is doing much harm to wheat in
| some parts of that country. Some fields, it is
1 feared will be totally destroyed
The Lawrenceburg Register says the weather
| has been unusually favorable in that neighbor-
| hood, and the grain has profted by it greatly
\ The yield IN that county will be more than an
average one. @@. ...M. .ue
| The Franklin Democrat says that the wheat
harvest is over in that vicinity and the yield is
l over an average one. The corn crop is good
where it was put in early enough, but in some
places it looks poorly. The oats, grasses, ETC.,
Y all look fine.
The Button Banner says it has made diligent
inquiry and has ascertained that wheat looks
| WE'LL rarely better than now. From different
parts of the county the farmers bring the news
1 of a full average crop
| The Fort Wayne Times says in that vicinity
4 wheat is poor from winter frosts, and, besides,
the weevil is destroying what is left.
| The Danyille Advertiser says that it is in
formed that wheat crops in many places are as
| good as ever was known.
The Connersville Telegraph says that the
wheat crop in Fayette County turns out much
| better than was expected few weeks ago, and
| the Valley Times says it will be full average,
if not more, taking the county through.
The CRoPs.-The farmers of Shelby. KY, are
getting through with their harvesting; the
| crop is not good. The oats are very fine. The
| hemp crop will be short, not better, if as good
as last year, and that was hardly worth the
| breaking out in great many cases. The
drought and excessive heat is rapidly injuring
| the prospects for an average corn crop.
| The Evansville ia Enquirer of the 22d says:
The river is still slowly falling, boats extra
ordinarily scarce. The Martin Wagner, di
| lapidated stern-wheeler, some six days from
| nowhere, being the only arrival for the last
twenty four hours, and hetowing any quantity
Of barges.
The only theme of any interest that seems to
agitate the public is, Where shall / go to get
cool'" "When do you think well have rain !"
In fact, the state of the weather is all the talk
While the mails are irregular, and no particular
time for their arrival, by the river. Taking
all these things into consideration, we feel that
it is a hard case to scare up an item.
