HARvEsTING.-Nex week the work Of
grading wheat will commence in several
counties of Southern Illinois, and there are
a number of fields in Madison and St.
Clair counties, that will be cut at the same
time. Next Monday the harvest feast and
toll commences in the West, aud in very
few days thereafter, the grain itself will
begin to come to market. The accounts
of full crop are corroborative faom all di-
rections, except fears are entertained just al
this time that the damp, cold weather Of
the past few days, may prove injurious,pro-
ducing what is known as "the rust" A few
bright days, however, will bring all right,
and the husbandman will 60 on with his
song, for the toll will soon be over, and the
yield probably as rich and as bountiful as
his heart could desire.
We shall have new wheat in this mar
ket perhaps by the 18th of the present
month, ten days or two weeks earlier than
last year.-M Louis hteiiigencer, Fri.
