crop has been injured in some places by the chinch-
bug, aud take ii upon the whole, will fall short of an
average yield. The oat crop was injured by the
drought in the Spring. There never was finer pros
peet for corn than at the present tme and we hear
thata goodcr Of Tobacco has been planted. The
month of June was very seasonable. The rains have
done considerable damage to the upands by washing

been considerably damaged by high water.
