Drops ard Prospects in Lee County.


\ A recent jaunt through the Nor,heln
part of this county. has afforded us an op-
roriunity 10 learn somewhat ofths >en,I-
men's Of the people upoa many s4bjscts
Of interest, IS well as to observe, with
surprise aud qualification, the rapil ad
vance Which has been r:de in improy e
merits, both In the villages anu in the
country.
The immigrant of the past year has
leen larger, and the immigrants have
been men OF Of more substantial character
and OF more abundant means than hereto
lore. There has been a more brisk ex.
change Of property, and prices Of real es-
tate have advanced some fifty per cent and
are still advancing. Under the slim illus
OF short crops last year, and .natteIing
prospects for good markets the present
season, immense crops OF grain have been
put IN, and all over the region through
which We travelled, cUuutisss fields Of
grain, already ripening an abundant har.
vest, give ample earnest Of the good
time coming, of prosperous and afluen
circumstances for the farmers Of the En-
pire County.
The extent Of the corn crop of this
County. measured by the number Of acres
covered, Is altogether Unprecedented and
almost beyond computation, and present
appearances, especially in the northern
par, OF tie county, seem to indicate thai
the yield Will excel in like proportion all
former experience
