humbug on this occasion. There are thou.
sands of acres of wheat in this county that

high as forty acres have been ploughed up
for corn cattle have been put to pasture in
Others, and on one of the best farms in the
county there are ninety acres too poor to be
cut. There never was any similar destruc-

by way of the Mississippi, Ohio and Jelfer-
sonvile Railroads from Cincinnati where we
J spent Sunday. Oar trip over the Baltimore
and Ohio, and Central Ohio roads, by way Of
Wheeling and Columbus. was most delightful.
We certainly are much indebted to the gen.

Cling, by extending to us their invitation ito
participate in the great excursion at the open

Baltimore and reaches through Cincinnati
and st. Louis to the far west.
We found Cincinnati on Saturday evening

and Cincinnati, those who delight to look
upon fine farms, rich pastures. and all the
attendant beauties Of a fine agricultural dis

day lays for the first twenty miles, along the
banks of the Ohio For some distance after
leaving Cincinnati, the hil-sldcs are covered
with vines. The culture of the grape ia this
vicinity is growing into an important interest
and is already worth hundreds of thousands
Of dollars. The wines manufactured are of
superior character, resembling the Cham
paisn wines, but much superior. Our route
also led us in sight of the tomb of Harrison,
