THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

July in and around New-York was showery aai
warm. July was very foggy IN the morning. but
cleared away warm-good growing weather. The
corn is about knee high, and looks back-it Is grow
ing rapidly. Grass has come forward wonderfully Of
late. We noticed great many pieces lodged. Rye
is tuning yellow wheat is s,l fully green, and oats
are growing handsomely. Fruit .rces Of oil kinds that
We have noticed in several excursions into the ccun-
Try, are generally too full toproduco perfect fruit par
ticuarly peaches.
We might MI page every day with accounts Of
crop prospects in all parts Of the United States. We
give only few shor; items.
Troy, y. l.. July 3.-Our crop prospects could not
well be more promising. This extreme hot weather,
with frequent showers, gives the paats growihequ

From Northeastern Ncw-York accounts are not
So promising. correspondent writing from Moriah,
Essex County, July ,, says;
Corn is being DESTROYED BY acres by the gray
worm and white grub. Some farmers have planted
corn over two or three times and az last have yielded
10 the DESTROYER and planted potatoes. Cherries AMI
cuuan,s are being utterly destroyed, fruit leaves AMI
trees by little insect, infinitely small, resembling az
frst bug, and sherward fly, and, seen through 3
microscope, not unlike locust; OF green Color and
clusters IN myriads ON the leaves, fruit and stems.

covered, this eyl seems incurabe.
In this locality hay will no. turn out as well was
expected. The best grass killed out last Winter,
and what is eiis but small crop and Juao grass at

Johc' Illl June 2s.-Spring wheat is not likely tn
produce well as Winter wheat, which Is very fine
Corn has been very largely planted, and the is
fair for great crop. Beef Is fatenipg upon 80 sweet
grass ever grew.
The HoHander Mich of June %, says that whea.
and grass PR mise heavy crops and that there no
flies in the ~ ain there.
Prom Northern Ohio the latest accounts promise
great harvest, notwithstanding some fields are badly
eaten by the nudge.
The Rock Island H. Ncrs OF June % says they
have had plenty of rain but it has not heard of any
rust in wheat.
The Colombian, Cincinnati July 3, publishes q
long list of extracts of letters in answer to circular,
which CONCUR in representing tho prospect OF good
crops very encouraging. The confident and encour-
aging tone that pcrvades them almost withou. sin
gle exception, is especially worthy of remark, snd
fully establishes the fact that the prospects for Il
bounteous harvest in this rich section of country have
never been surpassed and seldom equaled.
The Virginia wbeatgrowes have had week cf
uninterrupted good weather for harvest
twenty-five hundred barrels of potatoes, peas,
snaps apples, &C., were shipped TO New-York from
Norfolk on Saturday, June 30.
In the western portion of North Carolina the wheat
lie all harvested and the yield will greatly exceed that
of any former year. so many never before hav-
ing been sown, and each acre producing equal to any
former year.
The PiHs5urgh Journal of July says:
"a farmer residing thirty miles up the Mononga
hea commenced harvesting his wheat ON Thursday
last MANY of his neghbors had act apart yesterday
for commencing. Our informant spoke in glowing
TENS of the abundant yield of his wheat helds.'
The wheat crop in Canada West is spoken of by
the papers in hattering terms. The Gah RGormer
thinks the quantity of Spring wheat sown this year
throughout the western portion Of Canada aud in tho
adjoining portions of the United States will DO amply
sufficient, with reasonable harvest, 10 support tho
whole population of the American contnent-leaving
the produce of all the Fall wheat TO be exported.
Mount Holly ~. j. July 5.--A correspondent

HAY will not prove abundant might be desired,
although the crop will be fair, and perhaps trifo
above the aver age All other crops will far exceed
n ose of previous years. Peaches will probably be-
dug this year. judging from the present appearance

termination Of the people to dispense with the usual
