The Crops.
;, u..,..., n.-s,. Il a.,

The Cincinnati Gazette Of the 2Tth, says:
1--WE have seen within few days. a number Of
gentlemen from different parts of this State, and
Of Indiana, who bear almost unbroken evidence Of
the fine appearance of the young crop of wheat
that is coming"
From Tennessee we have the fattering intelli-
gence that in the centre Of the State wheat never
presented more promising appearance than it
does now.
A gentleman writing from Westmorelsnd coun-
ty, Virginia, ION the Northern Neck Of Virginia J
which has lately become great wheat growing
country, says he never saw better prospect for a
good crop.
In New York, accounts continue favorable. In
all the central counties the prospect is very good
The Livingston County Republican thinks the
breadth sown IL one-fourth larger than at any for
mer period.
The Ontario Republican says, speaking Of wheat
at Ia Of such luxuriant and vigorous growth
that many Of our farmers think it beyond danger
from the weevil. We are glad TO learn, also, that
more acres were sowed to wheat last fall than
usual, and that our farmers arc making arrange
ments to appropriate more land TO spring crops
The Lancaster PENNSYLVANIA Herald, Of May
2, says:
"The appearance Of the wheat fields have under.
gone great change fori the better, within the last
few days and the farmers speak encoursgingy Of
the prospect ahead. The grass is also growing
finely, and II the present favorable weather con.
tnues, there win be an abundance of food for both
man and beast. We do not presume that prices
will 20 down to the old standard for several years
TO come, even II the crops Of all kinds should be
large"
| We are Of the name opinion. We.must have q
succession Of good crops to get back to an abun
dant supply and low rates. There Is every pros
poet before the farmer to encourage him in bis
labor. Even another drought should not disbesrt
en- him, since Il has brought such an increase o.
prices--N. Y. Journal,
