CRoPs.--Accounts from oil sections OF the country
concur as to the excellent prospect now before us
for good crops. With the exception of the partial
failure of the wheat crop in some of the Southern
States there is promise now Of an abundant yield
Of all leading staples. About here and in fact
in all parts of this State, the Oldest farmers say they
never saw before finer prospect for corn than we
now have Oats rye, tobacco potatoes and fruits Of
all kinds look very well. Wheat in this State and
Kentucky, will be almost failure it is said, but in
the Northwest, and in Pennsylvania there viii be
a large yield. The loss Of our wheat crop will be
very seriously felt since in ordinary it pro-
duces and throws into circulation here large sum
of money which cannot have. A good hog
crop this fall would supply the place of the wheat to
great extent, in supplying money to the country;
but we are not prepared to say what that crop is
likely to be. With all that we likely to miss
however, there is no doubt plenty for which we
ought TO be thankful

TUpSPBE GATE.-We have learned that the
GAINESVILLE and Port Royal Turnpike Company oh
tanned from the last Legislature permission TO re-
move their first toll gate to the forks of the road,
just beyond Mrs, Dicks, The gate is now located
just beyond Mr.. Falls nursery, about one mile and
half from the public square, and the other point is
about one mile further out. That pike affords now
one of the incest drives in the vicinity of town, and
is more resorted 10 than any other but the toll at
the gate obstacle that cuts the pleasure seekers
of with rather short ride, since twenty cents paid
every afternoon for buggy drive through the gate
would amount to a smart little sum in six months
We hope the company will move the gate. We do
not believe they will lose any of the ordinary tolls
by doing so and its removal would certainly be an
accommodation to persons seeking recreation in a
ride drive

SPECIMEN BooK.-We beg to acknowledge the re-
ceipt Of Specimen Book from the Franklin Type
Foundry Cincinnati, O., r. Allison, Superintendent
which for beauty and finish is. unsurpassed, and
bears evidence that the character which this esta-
blsment has gained among printers, for the excel
lence and beauty of its material is founded in truth
and nothing more than is justly due. The Franklin is
a branch of that well known Philadelphia firm, L.
johnson Co., and is under the immediate control
and superinendence of Mr.. Robr. Allison than whom
more just and courteous gentleman to do business
with does not exist, We would advise printers who
wish to procure the best material, by all means to
purchase of the Franklin Type Foundry.

RaS- The reading of original essays and receiving
of their diplomas by the twelve young ladies ofthe
Female Academy will, no doubt be very interest
ing event. We wish to ask the fair graduates, in
advance to read their essays loud enough to be
heard by the entire audience In the new hall it
will not require much effort to do this and that
aflecaton of n modesty that fears to speak above
whisper is simply ridiculous. There are some of
these candidates for literary honors from whom We
expect most creditable essays, and we do not wish
to he disappointed simply because they cannot be
heard. And another thing we wig mention, though
