HARRlsoN.-There never was so large a
crop of corn raised as has grown upon the
valley this season. In this County there will
be very large surplus. Our advice to the
farmers, is, to harvest their crop early, and
crib their corn better than many have done
heretofore. Large crops have been los,
for want of proper attention. Save your
crops for you will have good market next

tered, the surface of the land undulating,
and generally free from sloughs. There is
already fair settlement in the County.

lode which they have opened, and from
