The CRors.--Of course we must
keep our many readers posted, to the
best of our knowledge. about The
crops. Well, we have made consider
able inquiry, and find that the pros
poets are very encouraging. Corn
looks fine, and there will be "A houn;i-
full yield. Wheat has turned out
much better than was anticipated.
In fact, we believe there will be an
average crop. Ga some farms the
rust HIS done considerable damage,
but on others it has turned out well.
The farmers are now cutting. Oats
will be almost a failure.
From the reports in our exchanges
over the country we learn that wheat
has done pretty wcll--in some places
coming up 10 the average crop. In
Alabama ard Mississippi, reports are
quite cheering. and in Texas, an album
dant Weld is mentioned. Some few
of our exchanges give glowing &c
counts, but we think, as is generally
the case, that accounts are cxager-
ated.

A great many strangers have been
in Winchester this week. and we heard
several of them compIimcntins the
town rs a beautiful town, but that we
needed a good hotel very much-that
they could not find room enough
And they told the truth. Winchester
needs a good hotel worse than any
town in the whole State, we venture,
Of course they can get good eatables,
but then what rooms. and how few
accommodations of the right kind
A good hotel would indeed pay.
