in this section. In bulk we think it hardly
equal to the average, but the quality is
excellent, and being secured in fine order
it will probably be found equal in value
to the crop of last year. Wheat was
damaged considerably by the drouth in
June and July. Early sown is somewhat
injured by the fly, and We observe that
late wheat is rusting. The crops, as a
whole, cannot be large in this county.
Oats are generally short, but well filed.
We have seen some very fine pieces, on
moist land. Corn gives excellent prom
Use. Nothing can prevent an unusually
large crop but very untimely frost. Po-
tatoes are equally promising at present.
We have heard no complaint Of rot as
yet. Apples are almost complete fail
ure.

The occasion Of the successful trans
mission of the salutatons Of the Queen
and the President had an impromptu cei'
ebraton here, on Tuesday night of last
week. A very respectable illumination
of the places of business in the central
part of tie town, and an extensive bonfire
drew out crowd of citizens, who were
entertained by number of speeches from
gentlemen who happened to be present
1t was an unprecedented spontaniety, ano
though no valuable public buildings wer'
burned, or other property, more valu
able than few boxes of candles, sundr,
hogsheads, boxes and other lumber, w

We see that the managers are bus

We are glad, that for once, a commodiou
Floral Hall for the Ladies' Department
to be prepared. We never have had SUI

of the most attractive features of on
Fair. the rooms have been crowded to e.
cess. Hence it would not be at all stranl
if the committee in this department shoul
have overlooked some meritorious article
on account Of their position. This yes
