lowA-A letter from Farvew, jones County. Iowa.
Juice 90 says the prospects for a bouutifal harvest
are quite favorable. The hay crop il doing particu-
larry well. Apples and plums, however, appear to
he blasted.

wIscossS.-A letter from Hsmplep Columbia
Co, Wis, June H. does not speak fayorably Of the
wheat ciop. The writer Gays that the chinch bug is
making sad havoc, and prospects worse than for
the lat fifteen wears. Corn is one-half eaten by
" birds, and the other half killed by the frost"
letter, dated Magnolia, Wis, Juue IS, says:
"The prospect is fair for all kinds of crops, unless
except corn, which has but Just got over the frost
and sugar cano, which is esf.'
letter from Duraud Pepin Co.. Wis, says:
"Wbeat looks as well as ever, coro slightly stioted;

in danger Corn is recovering from the frost. Beans
and potatoes killed and fruit injured.
correspondent writing from Marshall, Mich,

'The prospect for an abundant wheat crop was
never better Michigan than DOW. Corn was cut
with tic frost but looks well and promises good
crop, except sod ground, where it has been badly
used by the cut wOrn
PEsEsrLvASIA.--G. W. Newinger, Mount Pleasant
Weetmoreapd County, Penn, says:
:" Ii is now two weeks after the June frost and
can tell yOu that Liue-tenths Of all wheat is killed.
Corn frozen down killed. l cant hear Of q field of
wheat that will pay for threshng, excep. in some
favored location on the ridge by stream Of
water where the fog kept off the FROST
Farmers busy cutting off their frozen wheat
and preparing to SOW buckw heat. Oats timothy aud
clover we're badly Injured by the frost and will yield
but half q crop IL mauy places
But correspondent at Center County, Penn, June
~, send us this charming news:
The wheat in this region is unipured, and il moth
ing tbsn the frost happens to it, shall haye
one OF the largest crops even gathered IN TINS county
cay million bushels. Oats and corn also look vel.
ILLIsoIs.-W. c. Winans Of Alma Marion County,
ILL.,, writes June a. that large fields of corn have been
cut down aud destroyed by WORMS and garden vege-
tables stand no chance at a except where the
are carefully hunted out and destroyed BY contiuu-
ally replantibg and killing likely to have
toersbIe crop of vegetables; but to corn,
know rot what viii be the result after replanting.
ISDIASA.-From Madison, Iod., We learn that the
weather is just too wet for the wheat crop, but
thst it promises to BE- an average Oats short,
but beading well Corn doing finely, and the crop
promises to be large. Grass rather hght-not full
ayerage--but the late plentiful rains have somewhat
improved the prospect Toe potato crop will be good
and large-of fruit, not over half a crop.
NEw-YoRK.-A friend writing business from
East Hamburg, Enc Co, n. Y, says:
"The damages by frost in this county are much less
than ss at flint supposed. Winter wheat, except in
a few localities is not seriously injured Spring sOwed
grain is locking fine. Grass will be light. Fruit gen.
orally injured orchards destroyed but IN most
the injury Is sllght
TExAs.-The wheat is harvested and the crop is
estimated at 20 to 80 bushels per Oats, too, are
very foe, and corn Iever more promising.
THE GINSENG CRor.-Munesota and Wisconsin,
seem to be in state Of excitement in regard to the
ginseng CROP The roots of these plants, which are
very abundant, are purchased by the country NOR
Ct ants at 10 cents pound green, and that pays the
digcers better than any cultivated crop. CORE
spondent asks "why not grow it by cultivation q
Simply because it will not prosper and retain us real
or supposed medicinal virtues.
TIN PrAcu CRoP.-The Maryland papers say TINT
tbe peach crop is rather improved than Injured by the
late frost which bad the effect TO thin of overloaded
trees. This, however, was the case more aPon iate
than early varieties, some of which were severely
damaged. particularly in Delaware
TuF SrR,wBERRY CEoP has been al unusually
larce one. and Of better quality than usual TOR tni'
city. as we have more Of the improved sorts than
ever before; and the condition Of the weather. par
tcula,y early in the seasoo, was favorable to the
crimson cone, which forms the great bulk OF our
market berries.
