THE WEATHER AND TIE CROPS.

something ike Summer weather but whether " fof
one day only or whether for permanent institution,
iurpasseth our power of prophecy. Since all signs
have failed us-we cannot cay this dry time for we
have not had any such time this season. Last week
was most particularly gloomy one. From Monday
to Saturday the weather cold, cloudy, rainy. On
Friday the rain fell fast nearly all day. and whoever
was exposed to the atmosphere though clothed in all
the woolens of Winter complained of its chiliness.
How crops can grow in such weather is mystery, yet
they do and upon such dry soils as the farms of Long
Island all but Indian Corn grow WELL and that does
not look scky though small and the last three sunny
days have made il grow, and, where yellow, change
color The great difficulty hiss been the inability to
keep 1t free of weeds account of the continued wet
weather. Long Island potatoes ore beginning to
bloom, and certainly look promising for great crop.
Grass is everywhere good and people are beginin;

some excellent fields of Wheat upon land thought

the accounts of the present state Of the Indian Cora
crop are not as favorable as could be desired. Tn,
following are among the most important facts stated b.
correspondents:
CRoPs IN NORTHERN NEwYoRE.-A fortnight Of
weather like that of yesterday wond deprive tn.
farmers of the last possible excuse for complaint to
the corn crod at least in this region. All other grains
with some trifng exceptions in very low grounds are
in luxuriant growth, and promise sbundantly. Hay,
which was 30 last Spring. will be the heaviest
of all the crops this Summer. Thus far, no material
damage has been done by insects and, altogether the
prospects of agriculture are most hopeful.
Bartholomew Co Ind., June 25.-This is a great
corn growing county, and the crop looks fine, though
email for the season The now is growing one.
Oats grass, &C., potatoes and garden vegetables,
generally all bid fair turn out well. We shall have
an abundant harvest. large hog crop coming on,
and We shall have an ample supply OF fruit, except
peaches.
LiringstOn Co., H., june 25.-Spring wheat has the
appearance of being fine crop. Oats look WELL
The pr, spect for corn is very poor; the general
opinion is that it will not rpen before frost is
barely up and the best field here and there, is not
more than six inches high. Grass is better than ever
saw il at this time of the year.
Washington, Pa, June 25.-Crops glorious. Fruit
very abundant That additional acre has been quad
ruped; hence, all this region will produce yield Of
at least third more than any year for the last ten
Muscotine, Iora June 25.-Our prospects for good
crops much better than they were month since.
The corn crop is the poorest; much of was planted
two or three times but this hot weather is making il
grow very rapidly, and hot July and August will
give us a medium crop. Other grains look very well.
W1nneJago County, Ill.,, June Give have never
seen go much wheat growing as there is at this time,
and we want you to tell oil whs want work how much
we need laborers. Corn is very small aud un.
promising.
Randolph Comfy, H., June 25.-As far as my
knowledge extends, wheat will yield one-fourth more
per acre than lat year. and there is more land sown
go the crop will be considerably larger than usual and
laborers very Corn looks tOeraby well, but
not go large al this season. still the ndica-
tiops are that we will have very fair crop Fruit
abundant.
FaH Branch, East Tennessee, June Goats and
corn look well for the season, with abundant rain so
far AS TO fruit, we shall have supply of apples, but
very few peaches survived the cold of last Winter
Many persons in this section have suffered for food this
Summer and great numbers of stock died Of want last
Winter. The wheat harvest is now ready; more
favorable times looked for.
Mansfield, Pa, July This section has been
visited with rain nearly every day for three weeks
past Much damage has been dore along the streams.
The backward Spring, together with the continued
wet has been very hard upon the farmers but little
Of the corn having been hoed at all Yet the crops,
except wheat, which was badly Winter killed, look
remarkably well, considering all things.
Livingston County, Ne~-Y York, June N.-our
county IT, as you know, wheat garden but we have
been sa6ly unfortunate in it for the last few years.
AT the present time greater breadth Of barley is
sowed than ever before, and it looks well. Grass Is
luxuiiant, though butter is stl high We have had
rain rain, rain; it has Injured the corn-much has
rotied in the ground 20 that have been obliged
to replant The last three days it has been very
VAIN. and corn has revived wonderfully, but much
has betn ruined by the cut-worm aud grubs; some
fields are half cut off, and farmers are planting
beans in the hills Potatoes look well and wheat very
fair. Fruit good in some places, but much injured
by insects-even apples are thus attacked. Raining
sgain copiously today.
