INTENDED WIFE OF Prince NAPoLEoN.-
1t is rumored in Brussels that the grand daugh-
ter of Louis Philippe, the Princess Charlotte
of Belgium, is the intended wife Of Prince Ma
poleon, heir presumptive to the throne Of
France. However singular such an alliance
may appear. it is by no means impossible that
Louis Napoleon may desire to take this means
of strengthening his throne, and destroying the
prospects of the Orleans family again acquir-
ing the supreme power. This if true, may &C.
count in some measure for the visit of King
Leopold to the Emperor of France at Boulogne
and when it is remembered that Queen Veto
ria and Prince Albert are nephew and neice of
the King of Belgium, may partly explain
the personal cordiality recently exhibited by
them toward Louis Napoleon.

The PrOsDects Ahead

The wheat is mostly all gotten out, the corn
gathered, and the hogs ready for the tub; we
may, therefore, with some degree of certainty
be able to calculate what are the prospects a
head in regard to living.
The wheat, we understand, Is not quite as
good as was expected, still there is enough,
with probably little to spare. The price is
81 per bushel, and -four $3.50 to SO per cwt,,
according to quality.
The corn crop has, from all the information
we can gather through the country turned out
rather better than was anticipated. What corn
was raised is sound and we'll matured. Better
corn, what there is oft, has never been raised
in this country-so the farmers tell us. The
crop in this country we consider better one
than that of last year. The yield is not so
great but large portion of the crop of last
year was not well matured, and of course, IN
order to SAGE 1t, the farmer was compelled to
use it rather more freely than he would have
desired. This fall the grain is well matured,
and is in snch condition that every nu6bin is
good, and can be kept for any reason able length
o. time In some neighborhoods in the coun-
try there is an abundance for use and some to
spare. We scarcely know what price to state
it at, but suppose we may set it down at Is cts.
per bushel We understand it has been sold
at prices ranging from 60 to IS cents by the
quantity.
In Russell, Scott and Lee, in some sections,
the crop is excellent. In Smyth, with the ex-
ception ofRye Valley, it is light. In Rye Val
ley the crop is said to be first rate-never bet
ter.
In johnson county, Tern, 25 or 30 miles
south of us, corn was never better, and is sell
ling at 80 cents per bushel.
Pork is abundant il, this county, and has
been made with but little corn. Mast has
been abundant, shogs consequently in fine con-
ditlon, merely requiring corn enough to "har-
den the .fat," as it is usually termed. Prices
will range from $3.50 to $500 per cwt.
Beef is abundant and cheap Abingdon
