THE CRors-PRo lED Coss--For the
past few weeks we ave watched with
interest the notices iniour exchanges re-
garding the growing crops. In many
places the reports hre very favoraoie
and the returns promise to be AZ least 2
good average; but from some paris OF
this State the preseet accounts oil the
wheat crop is rather fiscourag1ng- We
never recoIlect the opening OF season,
however, when the most dismal antici-
pations were not indul9ed in by farmers,
and freely expressed BY them, even in
years when their crorh produced a fine
yield. We hope Il Will prove so this
year, and that the rdmors now circu.
lated, of the damage done to the wheat
by the fly, the heavy rains, &C., will be
groundless.
The demand for breadstuffs for the
European. markets Will be very heavy
during the coming fear, should the
wheat crop prove: Ehort. the results
would be very disastrous both at homs
and abroad.
From various s6uffes we CLEAN the
following facts in rslafo to the crops in
Ohio:
The Xenia TorShlg ght says there are
general complaints Of the fly in Greene
county, but hopes e crops win not bt
seriously diminished
The Piketon Jo9rnal says it is re-
ported that in some portions of Pike anG
Adsms counties, til fly is making sac
havoc with the you wheat
The Ripley Bee lays: "From conver
sation with some5d 5df our farmers, We
learn, that the Wild crop, in this coun
ty Brown and inS dams, is suffering
materially, from th ravages of the fly
Some fields are dest tbyed-some partial
ly injured and otheI Is have escaped en-
tirely"
A letter from PHle county saws tht
fly is doing muck Hamage in that sec
ton. I
The Clermont Cosrier says, "that il
that county the whea4is suffering gener
ally from the fly. The prospects fol
that crop are quif dis bOuraging. Corr
is backward, and has suffered from the
heavy rains. Gi asses lare in fine condi
ton. Oats are good.
Mr.. Hay, of Miami dtunty, writes that
the wheat crop lin that region never
looked so unfavaablH He fears thai
there will hardly De seef enough for the
fall sowing.
These reports from bur State are al
unfavorable, but, with be exception oi
part of Indiana, all tbe other accounts
that have reachef us very encour-
aging. From Dhblin, I'd !, we learn that
in that section of counti1the farmers dc
not IooL for more tha4 half crop oi
wheat, and in some instances the wheat
fields have been piowedt II and prepared
for corn. III
From the far west, Il news is more
cheerful. Our Michigaf exchanges as
sure us that the general indications
promise fine crop Of Wheat.
From Wisconsin, wd have the same
cheerful assurance, with the fact, that
more wheat has been ksown this year
than ever before, and4 4he surplus pro-
duct of the State will & very large.
From various parts s Illinois, the re-
ports are equally fayd liable. 1t is said
that if nothing occurs to cut off the
promised yield, the Fop will exceed
that of any previous u Ear. Illinois ex-
poets this year to ranH Hnextto Ohio as a
wheat growing State.
We hear some comI laints of the rava-
ges of the fly in CALI county, and not
withstanding some feE fields have been
destroyed, there will an average crop

A NEW INvENTIoN.-It is stated that
a resident of Fredonia, N. Y, has invent
ed a curious apparatus for supplying loco
motives with water. According to the
new plan, cistern must be constructed
beneath the track, having connected with
it force pump, which in its turn is con-
nected with series of friction wheels"
inserted above it in the track. The loco
motive is run upon these wheels, and then
however swiftly its wheels may revolve,
it can go no farther, as the friction wheels
upon which it stands revolve with those
Of the engine. The force pump is in this
manner set at work, and made to raise
from 1900 to 1000 gallons per minute
A practical test of the invention is about
to take place on the Buffalo and Brantford
Railroad.

CIRCULATION OF LONDON NEWSPAPERS.
From the return of stamps issued to the
newspapers of the United Kingdom dur
ing the years 1851, 1852, and 1853, we
gather the following particulars regarding
the principal London journals:
As regards the daily morning papers
the great pre-eminence of the Times is
more than maintained. Its consumption
of stamps in 1851, was 1866, 900; in
1852, 1925 900, and in 1858, 13,909,-
900. The Morning Advertiser comes next,
but lOngo inte,rallo, its numbers for the
three years respectively being 100000
for the first, 2,222, 900 for the second,
and 2,292, 900 for the last. The Morning
Herald's circulation was in 1851, 1871
600; in 1852, l, 2S3,OOO, and in 1853, l.
263, 900. The Daily News shows 1885,
900 in 1851; 1,22l 900 in 1852, and L.
les, 1000 in 1853. The Post had circu-
lation in 1851 of S1S 200, in 1852 of 1874, :
900, and in 1853 of 800, 900. The Chron-
icle it appears consumed a75 900 in 1851,
$4,000 In 1852, and 624, 1000 in 1853.

WONDERED CURE. following
wonderful effect Of one of the cure-all
patent medicines, advertised so extern
sively in many of the newspapers of the
day, is about as well authenticated as
most of the remarkable cases which are
backed up by long array of bogus GER
tifcates:
"a boy had swallowed silver dollar.
None of the faculty could devise any al
deviation, whereupOn the inventor of the
cure-all medicine was sent for. 1t is
evident said he, that so considerable
coin can never be forced up by any
emetic known to science. However, let
him take this pill, and flattering conse-
quences will be likely to ensue.' An
hour afterwards, the boy threw up the
dollar, but in small change-principaIly
fve-cent pieces"
