Some Berkeley farmers commenced harvesting
ms week. AS large crop, we are informed, has
never been out in the county before. In some
places, the v hent has been injured by the Nv but
the average yield will be much more than last

TnE HARvEsr.-A week or two since, we were
elated with the idea that farmers wouldireaize
their fondest anticipations III the coming harvest
But II seems they have been isappointetl. Ne
are informed that The rust and blastin wheat will
diminish the crop at least one half. This is indeed
truly discouraging. Only few days ago, the fields
throughout our county, presented most promis

with the prospect; but now i, is asceriainetl that
the ylsld will not be so bountiful by one half as
was expected. The work of harvesting W as COM
