The CRoPs.--It is gratifying to learn, that
while in some portions of the State the crop
prospects are gloomy, that generally they
promise at least an average yield. We sub
join a few items:
The CROPS GENERALLY.-The intelligence
which we gather from our exchanges and
other sources represent the growing crops
as very promising all over the country. In
Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Ten
nessee and other western States. the wheat
crop was never better than now about ready
to harvest. Corn, oats, rye and other cere-
ais also promise prospective abundance.-
Cotton and sugar cane have suffered by cold
and the floods, and may be short.
In this County and section, the farmers
tell US, that the wheat harvest will be very
abundant, all complaints to the contrary
Wheat is injured by rust and the effect of the
cold slightly, but the breadth of land seeded
was ~uncommonly large and the harvest will
be abundant. Moreover, a large quantity of
the last years crop is still on hard in farmers
barns. During the past week there have fai-
len abundant and seasonable rains, which is
doing immense benefit to corn and all other
crops. and the fields never were cleaner and
in better condition than now.
May the country continue to have peace
for it is very certain the land will be blessed
with p~lenty.-LredeU Erpress.
Troy, y. c., June, 7. 1858.
Harvest has begun, and although the wheat
has been injured by the late frost and rust,
yet we feel very confident the yield will be a
fair one. The crop sowed was very large.
and the land better prepared Corn and oats
are promising.
Letter to the Editors Of the Observer, dated
SALEM CHURCH, Randolph Co, June ).
Our wheat of the early kind is now ready
, for harvesting. Thu quality is file. The
later varieties will not be ready before the

The frost of the 2Sth April greatly curtailed
} the growth of our wheat The crop will not
be so abundant as we anticipated; vet we
shall, in case of no further disaster, make a
e full average crop. The frost treated us very
partially in relation to our fruit lighting

cry vestige, and in others adjoining not Kill

S our corn is small for the season but that
argues nothing for the probabilities Of a good
corn crop, at this early season.

QUITE A DELICATE WAY OF GETTING ovER THE
MATTER.-The staid Boston Advertiser, in
undertaking to state that the Congressional
rumshops had been closed, and a great nui-
sance abated, does it in the following very
delicate way, in order, probably, to avoid
giving offence to any of the distinguished
Senators:-'The Vice President has ordered
the refectory attached to the Senate to be
closed, on account of the obvious injury to
the progress of legislation from it, besides the
fact that it creates personal difficulties" The
editor should have a leather medal for this.

future.

EUROPEAN NEws.-In the British House of
asked if it was true that American vessels
had been searched by British cruisers, and
if so, by what authority and under whose
instructions. Mr.. Fitzgerald replied that no
official information had been received, and
that reports were believed to be exaggerated.
The government was anxious to avoid any
cause of complaint by the American govern
ment, and orders had been issued for especial
caution on the part of British officers.
In addition to the above, later arrivals an
nounce that the British Government had sig
niied to the United States that they were
ready to adopt such measures as the latter
might suggest to meet the present difficulties,
and that "~slavers' almost invaribly hoisted
the American flag.
The British steamer Syren had arrived from
Bermuda, with important dispatches from
the Governor of Bermuda to the British Min
lister.
In the Commons the government had an
nounced that if the alleged outrages upon
; American vessels were we'll founded immedi-
ate explanations would be made.
It will be seen in our news columns, that
the Senate of the U. S., previous to adjourn
ment passed some strong resolutions on the
! subject, which will require something more
than empty explanations for the outrages
I committed on our vessels, to give satisfaction
to our government.

Seduction Case IN Crawford Cos
~ At a recent term Of the Crawford Co.,
Court, the case Of Sanford Jarvis vs.. H.
D. E. Johnston, came off. This was an
cation, says the Forum" "to recover
damages for seduction Of Plaintiff s
daughter, Sarah A. Jarvis, young
woman some fifteen years of age. De.
fendant had visited her as a suitor near
ly a year. He had proposed and been
accepted as her future hush and and while
standing in this relation seduced and de.
serted her. A strong case was made out
by plaintiffs. AT the close Of the evidence
the defendants counsel withdrew the an.
swer and allowed the case to 60 to the
Jury on the question Of damages. The
argument was opened for the plaintiff by
j. s. Plants. Esq, in powerful speech.
Defendants Attorneys declined arguing.
The Jury was briefly but ably charged
by Judge Seney. After short delibcra-

Seneca County Bank Notes.

A law passed on the last day Of the
session Of the Legislature, authorizing
the Treasurer ofiState to redeem all notes
ofthe Seneca county bank issued to coun-
ty Treasurers. The Canal Bank Of Cleve-
land was included in the original BILL but
it was afterwards stricken out. This is
but simple justice, for many Of the coun.
" Treasurers were paid their quota ofthe
school fund in. the Seneca county money.
and the serious consequences which would
naturally result from a non.reception Of
those funds is very apparent The result
would be the total abandonment Of Com

The amount to be redeemed is said to
be about 10000. ,.9 Ia aW ,i,,-..
