Mhent---the PROSPECTS.

Whilst on a umble, few days since, over por'
Of franklin and Lick townships we could not help
but observe the fine appearance Of tho wheat That
upon the farms Of Mcssn, Messenger Martin, NJ
McClung, aud John Taught especially, will yield
about twenty three bushels 10 the acre average. We
gathered few stocks from the farms Of each Of these
gentlemen and find them measure from five to SIX
feet in height Ii the wheat throughout the County
generally turns out Us well as docs this, there is not
much danger Of famine throughout the region Of tho
huckleberry knobs The Corn, Oats and Grass, are
equally as pIo,perous.

The Crops.

Regularly, as every season returns, we
have the same inverable crCak about the
crops. This year, it has piped very
dolorous tune, and yet the cereal yield Of
of 1854 now promises to be very heavy
and abundant. Grumblers are requested
to husband their groans accordingly.
In the great agricultural districts Of
Pennsylvania, " heat is reported as re.
markably fine. The yield of oats will be
large, and the product will probably ex,
ceed that OF last year, which was over
200, 900 bushels. The counties west of
the mountains will not raise more than
their usual crop of wheat, which Suffices
for their own wants.
Big harvests are confidently looked for
in eastern and southern Maryland, and
in the western portions Of Virginia large
yield is expected. Considerable tracts OF
poor State land have, by the use Of guano,
been much improved.
Accounts from different parts of Ohio
are cheering The wheat prospects were
never more promising at this season Of
the year. The yield, it is thought, vill
be tweny per cent, over that Of last year.
Duto OF Indiana.
In Illinois and the West generally the
crop is bountilul. The work of cradliDg,
we learn from the St. Louis InleIigenoer,
of the 9th, was TO commence in Southern
illinois on the following week.
Prospect of wheat in South Carolina
Is by no means encouraging. The rust
is hurting the crop. Corn. however, is
good, and cotton is doing well.
Georgia looks better, and recent copi.
Gus showers have had fine effect on tar.
ming interests. The recent frosts were
less injurious than anticipated.
The Virginia wheat crop was ready 10
cut on Monday, the nth. The yield in
some parts is wretchedIy poor, and many
fields will not give back the seed Sown.
The oint worm has devastated thousands
of acres.
In all other Southern States, the crop is
uncommonly good. Much of it is already
harvested
Throughout New England, grass and
grain are promising.
New wheat is expected in New York
market on or about the 9th inst; ten
days or two weeks earlier then that of
last year.-CeUeidnd PIaindealer.
