The GooD TINE CoNrxG.-From all quar-.
terS come the most favorable accounts of
the crops. The wheat looks well every
where. The amount sown last fall was
usually large. So favorable has been the
weather for the past few weeks that the
amount Of corn planted will greately exceed
what was intended by the farmers when
they commenced putting the seed into the
ground, and we may safely say that through.
out the west there are more acres Of land
now planted In corn than there ever was in
any former year. The fruit crops are no
exception to the rule In regard to the grain..
Thus fer Providen seems 10 be pouring
out i.s bountieS most lavishly, and unless
something shall yet occur to blast the hopes
that now animate the people, we shall gath.
er in 1859 the most abundant harvest that
has ever yet rewarded the toll Of the luborer.
THE Horse EXHIBITION AND SALE.-The
exhibition and sale Of horses, mules, cattle,
sheep, etc., under the auspices Of the West
erD Reserve Horse Breeders Association,
came of, according to announcement, on
Saturday last. The day being pleasant,
great number of persons came to town for
the double purpose Of attending the exhibi-
tion and "doing some trading" Gen. L. v.
BrERcE, having been selected to deliver an
address before the Association, took the
stand in the afternoon, and spoke in an ear
nest and interesting manner in relation to
the propagation Of stock. At the close Of
his remarks, he was warmly applauded, and
the Association Immediately passed the fol-.
lowing resolution
Resolved. That the thanks Of this Associo
tion be rendered TO Gen. L.. ". BIERcE for
his able address delivered on this occasion
and that copy Of the same be solicited Of
him for publication, and that the papers OF
the Western Reserve be requested to pub.
lish the same.
Although the number Of horses on exhibi.
ton was not as large us expected, the quail
ity was very good; number OF bIooded
stock being entered, made an exhibition o!
their powers. The horse making the best
time was "Boney," owned by N. B. WHIT
MORE, of Massillon, his time being l, ,27 to
the half.mile track the next best WIS
"Granite State Boy" owned by WHEELER
g. Buck, Ravenna-time o3 to the mile.
The Massillon Horse is noble animal,
though somewhat advanced in years, and
may be considered as the "crnck" horse o!
the day. We understand that the "Grunite
State Boy" has never been trained nor been
In asulky 10 Ohio before Saturday last, and
making the speed he did, proves him to be a
horse OF no ordinary merit.
