present season, however, the Great West is
] little short OF one vast granary. The wheat
crop, the great agricultural staple of the North
| is without parallel. Even throughout the re-
| gion visited by the June frost, and where it
was deemed utterly ruined. large crop is to be
vested. Perhaps in no locality was the freeze
more intense, and the effect of the frost more
deadly, than in this county; and yet, whole
fields OF winter wheat, apparently killed dead
| by the FROST are now ripening for the harvest
around us, and promise larger yield per acre
| than has been realized for years. In many
| fields, in the place of one head, two and three
make their appearance on Il single stalk, and
ali well filled and of excellent berry.
| We see it stated by our exchanges that the
| wheat crop of the State of New York will this
| year vastly exceed that of any previous one
| for long time.

her from immolating herself in vain.
l may become a victim-my nation will not
become one. may be instrument tai in calling
her forth to re-awakening life. Can l not do
this safely, l shall take care to preserve her
future uncompromsed.
Revolving in my mind all the noble, delicate
friendship, all the consultations Of sympathy
which L was allowed to enjoy in your country
from many. many triends-from none more
than from you-en1otions throng upon me too
strong to allow OF words. BY the Eternal. 1
feel myself as much man as any mortal on
eartn, yet, while write, a tear trembles
my whImpers, and feel not ashamed of it.
1t is a tribute of grateful heart for benefits
received 1t is an offering that accompanies
my silent but tterventinyocation of the choicest
house, yourself, and upon all those of Your
people whose Kindness and sympathy poured
the smallest drop of consolation into the
wounds of my adversely.
II L succeed, hope to see you. and MANY of
you, in my own home aud no brother ever has
greeted a brother with a heartier welcome
than and my people will greet You, or any
of you.
If l fall, you will say that have fallen on
duty's path.
Ii am spared, but fail, / may see England
again. Then, however, it will be a broken
useless reed. that is cast your shores, and
few will be the days which it will be able to
bear before it rots.

above be done. Farewell, farewell. Ever
yours, truly, KossCTH
