TIE Corn CROP.--The Galena Jeffersonial
says that the recent severe storms of wind ant
rain by which that section of the country ha
been visited, have done great injury to tn,
standing corn. Many fields will be almost
total loss, the stalks being twisted off at the

have given our merchants quite brisk trade

Miss Eliza is "a bright particular star" off the
