The crops.-A correspondent writes from Proc
t~orsyille, as follows;-
al have travelled over the greater part Of Wind
sor County, the northern portion Of windham and
a small portion o. Bennington counties, and can
therefore, judge Of the crops generally better, per-
haps, than most Of the residents. laying has
been postponed to m unusually late period, owing
TO the backwardness Of the grass crop caused by
the early drouth, and to the frequent rains Of late
which have prevented the securing Of the hay after
II was cut. The crop is good and with few ercep-
tons heavy, although II will doubtless be found

that Of last year, bulk for bulk. or potatoes an
unusual breadth was planted, greater than during
any previous year since my recollection. Farmers
who, heretofore have planted from one to two acres
have this year put in four and even six. The crop
Is looking finely at this time and II we have an av-
orage yield, a few towns in this vicinity that sent
10000 bushels to market last year will furnish
over 100, 0 the prcsen, -eason. Corn, though
injured by the wire-Worin at first, is coming on
well. Rye, wheat and oats ali promise finely. We
bad but few strawberries this season, but we are
literally vAIlowing in raspberrics, and a bouniiful
supply Is expected. Apples will be plenty except
in some few localities. Small fruits are also look
ing well. ! have one plum tree, (the Columbia, }
tnnsplanted two years since which, though quite
small begins this year to repay the care bestowed.
Lat oil who have a patch Of land however small,
plant a trce, in a few years they will receive their
reward. W."
