Whatever may be the crimes or the faults
Of the English Government or English So

Harvest Prospects Cheering Indications.


The N. Y. Herald Of the Both ul,., refer
ring 10 the upward movement in the stock
market in view of the encouraging state Of
the crops, says.
Everything regarding the approaching
harvests is seized upon with the greatest
interest and everything connected with f.
nance and trade hinges upon that event
From the South we receive more satisfac-
tory accounts of the weather. As the sea-
son advances the public mind will be more
inte nsely absorbed in this matter, and if the
prospec' brightens as maturity approaches,
we shall sec the effect in every department mt
, Of industry. Al OF our public works parti-
eipate in the general feeling. Their bust
ness will be much affected fayorably or un.
| iavorably by the result, and those in
| terested in them do not look on with
Indifference. A few desperate bears in
Wall street may not be satisfied with the
favorable prospects regarding the crops
They are all the time looking out for fires,
freshet., drouths, and disasters of all sorts,
| and the probability is that they will this
year be disappointed. They had enough
last year to satisfy them for dozen at least.
but We believe they are az hungry as ever.
Every day adds to the security Of the grow.
ing crops, and in = lew weeks wheat will
be safely harvested and housed. The open
ing Of new railroad lines throughout the
Western States will open an immense
tract Of new country to market and give
us supplies of grain greater than ever be-
fore heard Of Sections of country which
until now have been almost shut out from
the world have nsw the cheapest and spec
diest conveyance to market. Thousands
upon thousands Of acres ofthe most prolific
land in the world have this year been
brought under cultivation. which last year
was wild prairie. The extent of land sowed
and planted this year is 50 much greater
than last. that an average production per
sere would give US an aggregate compared
with former years; but the yield is likely
TO be far above an average, and the sggre-
gate is likely to be perfectly astonishing.

Mr.. EDITOR:
Ter fAs Gsistfs.

As your paper seems to be the
channel through which the people seek re-
dress from our city officers, (and perhaps
this is proper, as il 10 the official organ) will
you allow me to call their attention to the
green sloushs on the lot below and joining
the Ohio House, as nuisance, that should
be removed ere i. breeds disease and death
to ali around. If the owner is not able to
fill up said lot, let the Council do it, in an
swer to the united petition OF all in that vi
cinity. Perhapsitlegitima'ely comes under
the ordinance abolishing Ill unusual noises,
for there are frogs in the pond OF said lot
which very much disturb the slumbers OF
your humble correspondent. r.

little disturbance occurred in the Fifth
Ward at the close of the polls, and il was
rnmored that an attempt would be made to
take the ballot box, but no such attempt
was made
