Ireland the Land Of Plenty.


.Tha following harvest report is from
Cork, Ireland
The sickle is already busy on all sides
and q truly golden harvest is falling be-
meath its stroke. The crops of all kinds
are so abundant and so entirely free from
even the appearance Of disease or failure,
that this may be called the first year Of
plenty since the famine. The yield Of all
produce IS far beyond the measure Of the
best years We have had for long time,
and the country may at length congratu-
late itself in the assurance that its trials
are at an end. Even the potato seems
all at once to have recovered the 6rmness
and sweetness Of its best days. In point
