Notwithstanding every one is crying out chow hot,
We have never known a auspoious state OF thogs
for the simer than the present 1t Just the kind OF
we,ther wanted for the npening Of wheat. IL is
state of the atmosphere that makes the corn just
planted shoot up with most wonderful rspldity, AMI
will probably insure good crop upon all now growiog
The weather too is exceedingly propiaous TOR grass,
which very heavy upon all the moving helds, Out
is very Juicy snd lacks sweetness. This hot weather
is adding immense every day to its vaue, ana 30
il is TO the trus cropthst Of straw berries, now ~ the
hight of productiyeness, was never greater than Is
this year. The last Of the yield, in consequence
of this no. spell will be very much Deteer
than the first. Other small fruits are very
promising Raspbeniss are coming forward timely,
aud We never saw a greater promise at blossom-
ing time for great yield Of black berries than We nave
Lis stason. OF peaches we hear good reports IRON
J.ney AID bad ones from several other localities Po
ta,oes the great staple crop of Ns~-fork market
gardeners and farmers look extremely well; If they
are not DESTROYED by disease the crop will be the largest
grown in many years.
Wheat we think bids fair at present all over the
country to be greet crop. This weather just before
harvest time, s lst what is wanted it not only rpens
but fills the heads with lage berries that will weigh
