FARMING

Though we do not multiply citations, it is
certain that Winter Grain is generally look
ing well throughout the country much better
than the open. broken character OF the last
Winter gave reason to hope. There may be
local exceptions, but the present prospects for
a good yield of both Wheat and Rye are ex-
%ceIlent, while tie frequent Greezings and thaw-
ings of the ground sin November must
have proved widely fat be eggs and lar
vac of insects. We~conidehtly hope for heavy
crops of Winter Grain this year.
But it must be considered that the general
yield of Grain last year was a very light one
throughout the Free States. Wheat did well
in the South, as lid Indian Corn in the North;
but the Great West-the granery OF America,
and to some extent of Europe also had a
lighter yield per cultivated acre then ever be-
fore. We estimate the Wheat crop of the
entire Union at less than ten bushels per acre,
and that Of the Free States at less than eight
bushels. Michigan, Wisconsin and Minneso-
ia had the best of it; but even they did not
average a middling crop of Oats. Hardly a
third of a crop was realfzed throughout the
cosntry-in the West, hardly more than was
sown. Indian Corn did better-in the North
very we'll; in the South. middling well; in the
West, there was rather morethan half a crop,
but not much more. Iowa had probably less;
Illinois and Indiana, not much more; Ohoi, at
best, a light yield. Che aggregate deficiency
in the Grain harvest, 6f4S musssse estima.
ted by hundreds of millidsA1Sof bushels.
We say, therefore, 10 ythe few who have
made the inquiry, and ton hdtser may think
our opinion worth hearing. There is a posi-
tive and signal deficiency of Grain in this
country at the moment, and you can hardly
sow and plant too much. We do not mean
that any man should plant or sow twenty
acres when he has only help, team and f@ertili-
zers to cultivate ten thoroughly; but we do
say, put in the crops: put them in well, and
as large an area as you can fully take care of.
There is a great European war looming on the
horizon--it may or may rot break out this
year, but all the craft Of Diplomacy, all the
p~leadings of Christianity cannot prevent it,
That war will create an immense demand for
our provisions; but even were it to be ulti-
mately averted, the immense preparations of
the prospective beligerents, their musterings,
marchingS, and concentration of troops; their
diversion of Skill and Labor from productive
industry to ratification, cannon casting, the
riding of muskets, the manufacture of powder,
&c, must create an extra demand for food
And not only is there much less Grain now in
the ccuntry than usually at this season, hut
we hear complaints from earfous S~harters of
the scarcity of Fodder also--eaused, in part,
doubtless, by the deficient Grain harvest last
year. Let the husbandman prepare therefore,
to double i'll 80 his Grain crop of '58, in the
confident assurance that the fruits of his labor
will command a liberal recolnpense.-N. Y.

Robbery

The residence of DIR. A. b. Dayton, says
the Middletown Point Times, was broken in
on Friday night last by burglars, and two
watches taken therefrom. An entrance was
made through q rear basement door. The
rascals finding their way up to the sleeping
apartments, entered the doctors room, and
were cropping their way about, when the rat
ting of some orticle of furniture aroused Mrs.
d., and she demanded who was there. Imme.
diately the villains made a hasty exit from
the room down the stairs, and through the
rear door of the hall, previously left open in
case Of detection, The doctor sprang from
his bed to secure the gentlemen, but they
made sure their escape. No traces as yet
have been found of the missing property
Various opinions are offered as to who were
the authors Of this high,handed outrage
Guess they don't reside far away from onr
very midst, il the trnth could be revealed. =

ANOTHER BEAR HUNT.
NO HuMRuG THIS TIMEt

Mr.. EDIroR:-
Sometime during Wednesday evening, a
Bear belonging to Thomas P. Barkalow, Esq,
of the Union Hotel, broke his fastening aud
escaped from his place of confinement. His
absence was not known until about 5 o'clock
the next morning, when our populaee were
alarmed by the yells of two most awfully ter
,rified colored gentlemen, who at the extreme
top of their lungs. and in a voice that might
have been mistaken for thunder, proclaimed
Tommy Barkalow's Bears loose" One OF
our good fat landlords mistook the cry OF
" hearW for "fre!" and in the excitement Of
the moment came near breaking his neck in
trying to reach the street door.
1t appears that these colored gentlemen,
whose names are Charles jackson and Jack
Shemo, were coming down town, ard VIII op
poslte the residence Of Judge Vredenburgh, q
figure of uncertain and very questionable shape,
perched In the top Of one of tue Judges large
shade trees attracted the attention of the
aforesaid Charles jackson. Between the mist
OF the morning and the newly forming foliage,
the said Charles gazed with Intense excitement
The following dialogue ensued: -Charley says,
" Jack! what's that in the top of that tree
there" The darkey strained his eyes, but the
effort was only momentary. In astate of ter
ror indescribable, he replied, That's Tommy
Barkalow's Bear!' The announcement was
sufficient. Charles Jackson Immediately left
the sidewalk. uttering an exclamation of tet.
ror, and selected, from among the various
routes for getting down town, the middle Of
the road, through mud knee-deep. By theil
cries, a number of our people were aroused to
a sense Of their duty, and repaired to the
judges residence. Sure enough, in the very
tip top of the tree, sat Bruin. He was most
respectfully requested to "come down." but
with an air of insolence unparalleled, and in
a manner not to be mistaken, refused to leave
his lofty position" Not an inch would he
bulge. Something must be done (! George
P%ainton, a daring youth, not having the fear
of bears before his eyes, volunteered his servi
ees to ascend the tree, and obtain a more def.
mite answer from Bruin. With an agility and
self-assurance of no common order, did he as.
cend. AS he approached Bruin, he was sa-
luted with a low growl and an open paw, shook
threateningly at his head. Georges valor
dwindled to the shortest span. He became
terribly agitated and shook from head to foot.
He called to those below to " Pull him down.
Don't let him git to me-" &c. Bruin was
finally dislodged by means of a rope which was
fastened to him. After getting him do wn, he
was taken to his quarters and properly secur-
ed. For a long while nothing has created so
much. excitement in Freehold. Capt. Patter-
son, who commanded the former we'll remem-
bered bear expedition, was not present on this
occasion, His non-attendance was accounted
for by the superstition that he could not bar
to again become conspicuous in that line.
Yours, &c.
