GREAT Conn Crop The Black Swamp,
and Wood county particularly, have long
been weathering the prejudices of the east,
as to the poorneSs of land, &C.; but should
any of those prejudiced come to this county
now, and see the richness of the soil, the
many Improvements, and especially the tre-
mendous corn crop raised last season, it
would make their eyes stand out with won
der and astonishment. We were among a
lot of farmers few days ago. when they
were making estimates Of the corn raised by
them and neighbors, which were SO enor-
nous, that had we not known the persons to
be men of veracity and good standing, we
should hardly have credited them. 1t was
estimated that the saleable corn crop of the
county would amount to $4,000. One
stated that he was present when neighbor
of his was offered $4,000 for the corn he had
in his cribs; another said a neighbor of his
had $4,000 bushels of corn in bis cribs, be-

ATTRACTIONS OF Rem HAm.-ln ancient
times, the nations who were the most pol
ished the most civilized, and the most skill
iul in the fine arts, were passionately fond
of red hair. The Gauls, the ancestors of the
modern French, had the same preference,
though that color is now in disrepute by
their descendants, who like black hair. A
taste for red hair, however, still exists in eX-
tcnsve regions The Turks, for example,
are fond of women who have red hair, while
the modern Persians have strong aversion
70 it, The inhabitants of Tripoli, who pro-
badly learned it from the Turks, give their
hair red tinge by the aid of vermiIion.-
The women of Scinde and Deccan are fond
of dyeing their hair red and yellow, as the
Romans did, in imitation of German hair.
There is among Europeans generally strong
dislike to red hairs but in Spain, red hair
is admired almost to alteration and there
is story told of one Of our naval command
erS, who luxuriated in fiery locks, being idol
ized and caressed in consequence by the
Spanish women, and looked upon as per
feet Adonis.

DEATH OF LITTLE CHILDREN. .---Children
are said TO be the connecting link batween
earth aud heaven. The most depraved are
melted into ContritiOn before their innocent
prauling, and even the wild eyes of the lu-
natic grow sub1ued and are filled with tears,
when they gaze upon these gentle spirits,
which like birds of heavenly plumage, do
not seem TO have been intended for this
world Of sin and shame. If they thus ap-
pear to those uninterested in them, except
SO far as they seem to be the embodiment
of purity, how much more deeply sea ted
must be the feeling of parents, who view
them with those sentiments OF love and re-
sponsibility which are the ornaments Of
their station. There are other affl ctions
which strike more deeply, and which fix
more durable sorrow III the mind, than the
death Of one of those little ones but there
is none which lacerates parents heart, for
the time so keenly. There is something
which cannot fail 10 touch even the most
unintcrested in the illness Of d little child.
L suffers so meckly, and struggles with the
king Of terrors in such placid resignation,
that the heart of the baholder is melted to
tenderness. To parents, as they watch the
last (lickering breath of the beloved one, and
see the moment that th, Iasr nu5 of uieatn
settles inevitably upon the lips, there comes
an anguish that is unspeakable. 1t is not
the selfish sorrow over one who Is bound to
them by ties Of worldly interest, for in the
death of child they lose nothing that could
add to temporal prosperity. Often in the
case of the poor it is one less mouth to
feed, one less body to clothe; yet the grief
is not less poignant, or the wound less Sc
we're. The sorrow they experience comes
from the heart. There is no taint of sin in
the parents grief for the death of an infant
They watched without a murmur over its
little couch while disease was doing its
work; and when it stretched forth its tiny
hands imploringly for relief, how keen was
their anguish that they could not administer
10 its necessities -----

WEBSTER TP., WooD Co., O.,
Oct. IL. 1854.

TO the Secretary of the Wood County Agricult1-
raj Society:
SIR-I do not know as l can furnish any
thing i'll this report that will be interesting,
but being chosen one of a committee to So
liclt members and make report, | feel in
duty bound to make an effort to write some
thing As TO statistical information, have
not the means of ascertaining the amount of
grain, butter, pork and corn produced last
year; will simply make few remarks. AS
to the general prosperity of our township i;
has improved for year or two past; the
number of inhabitants has increased about
one third in that time by new settlers, who
are we'll pleased with their locations. We
have no large farmers; we own from eighty
to one hundred acres of land, generally, with
from forty to sixty acres cleared /; so we may
say we carry on farming business on small
scale, and, as there are no large bodies Of nat
urally dry land in the township, (the greater
portion being low, wet, or swale land J hence
the cause of all our farms being small. The
face of the country is undergoing great i'm
provements here, as several very large ditch
es are in course of construction, which will
answer the double purpose of draining the
county swamp lands and drying large por-
| ton of our township, SO that we expect to
see good farms yet on land which here tofore
has been considered worthless.
/ The naturally dry land is rich, black,
sandy soil, and produces everything adapted
to the climate. Our principal crop is corn,
of which we frequently raise seventy bushels
per acre; and this soil seems particularly
we'll adapted for potatoes. think they are
not as subject to the rot or potatoe disease
here as in the surrounding country. Our low
or wet land does not produce grain of any
kind well, when first cleared although il
will produce light crops of corn but it will
from the start raise the very best crops Of
timothy and red top hay which has been a
profitable crop to our farmers. But when
the land here spoken of has been in meadow
three or four years, and properly dltched and
cultivated, it produces grain equally well
with the naturally dry land, and is not sc
easily impoverished. There is land of this
kind in this township, that has been culliva
ted eighteen years without manure, and pro
duces better crops now than at first
Our crops this season are generally tolera
bly, good, although in common with the sur
rounding country, our wheat crop is a tota
) failure, Corn, oats and hay are good thi!
year; potatoes are lighter crop than tina
of former years, but they are of good quail
ity and free from rot so far as know.
AS to other Improvements and benefits
the McCutchenville road passes through nea
the center of our township, which, OWN!

to recent repairs and Improvements, is a good
road of the kind Ga clay turnpike,) and quite
passable eight months in the year. We have
three good steam saw mills in successful op-
Grafton, owned and conducted by good clev-
er business men, which give our township
la very thriving appearance, and are source
Iof profit to the owners of timber. We have
four good school houses, two of which are
frame buildings, and one church, in which
at present there is divine service every Sab
bath, by minister of the Associate Reform
led Presbyterian denomination. We have
three taverns, two blacksmith shops, one
wagon makers shop, one shoe makers shop,
one doctor and botanical medicine store, one
dry goods store in course of erection, and,
take it all round, we consider that we are in
possession of a reasonable share of what is
calculated to make life desirable.
Respectfully yours, &c.

Thou art lost, yet am keeping ...
Treasured in my heart thy name;
Waking, sleeping weeping
Thou art with me still the same.
Yes the link at last is riven-

Thus the suns bright rays alighted
On the petals OF the rose,
And although its leaves be blighted,
Still he lingereth to life's close
Thus the heart doth sometimes cherish
Thoughts that wear away the soul,
Giving pleasure while we perish,

AS pardon pangs as sore,
But unless we meet in heaven,

To the President and Directors of the Wood
County Agricultural Society,":
The undersigned presents the following as
the report for Washington township:
Wheat has failed here this year, cause, the
wevil very little sown this fall of the diff
ferent kinds sown, the Mediterranean has
been the leaSt affected
Corn and Oats--Notwithstan the
drouth this summer, corn and oats are good.
More corn has been raised this year than any
previous year, by one half as near as we can
calculate, and from information the corn
crop will amount to over DO 900 bushels, and
is now selling at so cts. per bushel; kind
planted, generally gourd seed. The prairie
lands have raised the best corn this year,
Oats are more than an average crop; the es-
timated amount raised will exceed $4,000
bushels; average number of bushels per acre,
35; selling at % to 81 cts. Corn and oats
are the most profitable to raise. 81
Rye-Some rye has been sown, and very
good crops raised; average number of bush
els to the acre, 18 More sown this year
than last; it is considered good crop to
raise.
heat-Consderab sown this year,
but injured by the hot and dry weather; not
an average crop.
Potatoes-Have been affected by the drouth
and will be about two thirds of crop, or
100 bushels to the acre; now selling at 50
cents per bushel; have not heard of any be-
ing affected by the rot peach-blow and pink
eye are the kinds generally raised.
Hay and Grass-Have been some affected
by the drouth; the average amount per acre,
from Ii to 8 tons. Timothy is considered
the best for horses and cattle.
Sheep and Wool-But few sheep are rails
| ed mostly the common.kind; some few me-
rinos have been brought in, and they do well
the raising of sheep can be made profitable
if the dogs are killed; do not know the
amount of wool shorn; sold from 80 to 35
cents per ID.
Hogs-Mostly of the common breed
| few Berkshire and LecesterShire have been
introduced and crossed with the common
breeds, which has greatly improved them !;
but as it is "root hog or die" we say 60 the
whole hog and obtain the best breeds, and
/ kill off the old ones.
Horses and Cattle--The stock of horses
here is fair, but there is room for improve
ment. We believe them more profitable to
raise than cattle. 1t costs but very little
more 10 raise colt to three years old than a
steer, and at that age will sell for at least
double the amount tha. the latter will
There are good many cattle raised; some
common breeds and some crosses. We rec
ommend a change for pure bloods; Durhams
and Davons we would recommend.
Fruit-Qnite an interest is taken by our
citizens in obtaining good fruit We have
some very fine young orchards; the soil
seems to be well adapted for the raising OF
fruit being clay and sand loan. - {.
Ditching--We believe the farmer cannot
spend his money and labor to more profit
than by draining; by so doing plowing and
!. seeding can be done much earlier and easier,
and the difference in the crops will of course
be obvious. There are many other reasons
that could be urged, but we believe all will
r admit of its utility; try i: -

From the Golden Era.
PartingS.

In this bleak world they will come. 1t is
SO ordered The loved and the loving must
part. Happy, sunny hours of joy and glad
ness will come and go. Meetings will take
place and separations will come. The hand
Of death will take from fond arms the dear
est of friends.
Friend after friend departs,
Who has not lost a friend ?"
1t is so; but to be lost--to be obliged to
sing--to think-ror song is out of the ques-
tion-of the departed as lost, is too much
for friend to endure. In all death partings
the heart hopes for reunion. The loves of
mortals look for joyous fruition in better
and happier land. The dead are not forgot
