THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
Nrw-YonK, Monday, June 2, 1857.


there never was exactly sueh season, because notvo
yea. exactly alike; but as Ike az TWO peas, is
this TO other Not the last perhaps, bat TO
.cne Of its predecessors.
Il Is true the Spring a cold wet, and backward
ore and the month Of June has paid great devotion to
the memory o! Niobe, for it. days and nights have
wept almost as necessarily that ancient mother OF
fourteen children whose for the IOss Of her au-
merous family KEEP, ;olerabe. eized mill stream vel
supplied with water bat is not unlike several other
Junes, for it is month very much noted 10 tie annals
Of weather mongers, as one given 70 the production OF
| foods.
We believe something over three-quarters of the
days Of the present June have been weeping ones du
ring wi eh the farmer ANXIOUS TO plow his corn, hiss
declared ten times every day that he never saw the
Ike, ard that such weather would surely ruin him.
We have grtaS faith he is mistaken, unless he Is
very bad farmer, and has grass and small grain
growing as it grows dry time OF no orchard
putting forth its wonderful energies. and showing sae
advantage Of this frequent irrigation. 1t is true the
weather is rot the favorable for Indian corr but
il is a. good as can be for wheat, rye, oats, barley
erass potatoes fruit and sundry other things. Upon
the dry lands Of jersey and Long Island corn is grow
ing as finely Is it ever grew in any previous season,
with the exception that it 5 not large aud Of rye,
we hear Of lots of it six feet high, and some in New
jersey that will be ready for the reaper the first week
in July.
From every section of the country the accounts o
crcps are far more favorable than they were last year.
Late accounts from the lower Wabash valley repre-
sent corn as backward, but of good color and stand
and as crop never fails there, it will undoubtedly be
GOOD one this year. Oats and grass will average
well, and what few potatoes could be planted IN
great scarcity of seed, promise fair. Orchards ar
loaded. and fruit of all kinds will be unusually abun
oant Wheat where there is wheat, is extra fine.
In Ohio the season has been unusually favorable
that wheat i. looking far better than the most sangure
expected early in the Spring. Corn, too, looks well
though small; and, as an unprecedentedly large crop
has been put in, We may look confidently for good
yield Of this important grain. Oats, too, as general
thing, perhaps promised fairer. Seed potatoes
Or. obtained in large quantities from abroad and
therefore we presume will Is plenty in Ohio next
Sp,rg; and. if the mutt crop be as large as it now
bids fair TO be- Ohio will have large surplus to send
Eastward, either in it's natural state or dried.
The copious rains of June instead Of iniurng farm
ers in Ohio have added largely to their aggre gate
wealth. OF course the unusually good pasturage, and
tie Prospect of good grain crops, will stimulate the

ton and pork next Fall aud Winter.
From Illinois we continue to have accounts of crop
prosu,ets equally favorable to those from Ohio.
correspondent writes from Logan Comfy, June To-
that inter wheat was mostly killed in that and Nc
can and Dewitt Counties, except that sown upon
new land which looks well vast amount OF

There is now little doubt about good corn crop in
Illinois.
Auother corresponden. writes from Knox County,
Ju,e II that he has Travelled over the Counties of
Knox. Peoria, Fulton, Warren, NcDonough and
Henry and finds OF e-thrd more planted than in

many planted too early and had TO replant lie says

seed the potato crop will be short and but few oats

well. Fruit is very promising, except peaches
