Cvo1 ProspeeIs--InIcrIor improvements


The unprecedented wet May and opening OF
June have interfered materially with corn and
potato planting all over Northern and Central
Ohio. and less breadth Of lands will be devoted
to these crops than usual Advantage has been
taken however by the farmers Of the few tine
days between rains, and should the next seven
ty-fye prove favorable, there viii be plenty OF
corn and potatoes 10 spare along the baekbOne
counties and down the slopes to Lake and Xiv
er. Grass never was more lnxuriant and prom
ising in the dairy and stock sections and all the
accounts from the grain portions of the State
speak of the almost mayelous growth Of wheat,
rye, barley, oats and grass: An intelligent, OBJ
serving gentleman, who.last week visited New
ark, Lancaster, dc, informs US that the crops
referred to were never so goodly to look upon
The wheat 6ells are finely headed ont, even, and
high as fonces. So of other grains and grass
The apple crop, and fruits generally-except
peaches, which are not plenty save in certain
IocaIities-wiIl be abundant; and everything in
dicates another year of plenty in the land.
It is gratifying to learn too, that nOtwiih-
standing the scarcity of money and low prices
of produce, the towns and country Of the interi-
or of Ohio are taking fresh start in the way Of
improvements The various Railroad lines have
brought all points to good markets literally at
the doors OF the producers, and the old and the
new towns not only feel an infusion ofthe steam
horse go-a-headativeness, but the country gen
orally is wakened up by the breath of his merry
nostrils Men cannot well remain sluggards
when the car of progress thunders hourly in the
ear. Tho Western fever too has pretty much
had its run-the panic struck speculation dead
and industry, retTenchment, and economy,
have again become cardinal virtues in families
and communities. We are informed that at
Newark. Lancaster, etc, there is more building
this season than for years previous; and cur ex-
changes from most sections of the State speak
of a general brushing up of old and putting up
of new structures, for stores, residences, public
schools and other uses, and for manufactures
Perhaps no town exhibits more marks Of i'm
provement and thrift this season than Bucyrus,
the county seat of Crawford. The new build
ings are Of a substantial and credtable charac
rsr, and the JGsrRal, Of the very best POliti-
