Tur CRors.-From most parts OF the
Union we hear good accounts of the crops.
The Rome Sentinel, n. Y says
We have seen more Of the country and
the growing crops, not only in this and ad-
Joining Counties, but in other States this
year, than at any other season our obSer-
vation cOnvinces us, that not for years and
wears, has there been such fine prospect for
an abundant crop as this year. Corn is
looking finely, and at this time grows rapid
ly the wheat and rye crops never appeared
better at this SEASON. of the year ; oats prom
ise to be perfect overwhelming crop, better
than anything else.
We think grass will be short the drought
and grasshoppers for tie last number of sea-
sons, have SO injured the meadows, that a
large share of the meadow land must be
plowed up before it will amount to much.
Potatoes promise fnely-in fact all the crops
promise such an abundant yield, it would
seem as if produce would be dog cheap next
winter.
Pennsylvania crops are all reported good
The Erie Gazette says
The crops of Erie County never looked
better or promised a more abundant yield
than now. Diligent enquiry among our
farmers assures US that the wheat and oat
crops, with few exceptions, Will be unusually
large.
4 Chicago letter N the Bufllo Commercial
Adcertiser says
With regard to the new crop of wheat,
there is every prospect of very large yield,
and of verv handsome quality all of the
accounts SO far are favorable. Wisconsin,
they say, will turn out the largest crop they
ever had, and of very fine quality, provided
the weather is warm or dry for ten or twenty
DAYS longer, and then nothing will touch
the crop, which will by that time be out of
the way of rust, sc.
The Cincinnati Gazette says:
In Southern Ohio the wheat is harvested.
and seldom has there been seen better crop
1t will be safe to say that the wheat crop of
Ohio will equal any we have ever had. The
oats were short, but the return of rains will
give a full crop of that gram. The corn Is
very good, and it seems almost impossible
now, that it should be seriously injured. The
rains have been ample, and it only needs the
hot sun of August to produce great crop OF
corn.
With these facts before US, il is fair to an
ticipate in this State, as great if not great

IN any former year.

"MT. Hall, a native OF Troy, n. y, grad

when he has passed nearly fourteen years in In
dia, and has become highly distinguished an
oriental scholar. lie has held several posts Of
honor IL India as Professor in the University Of
Benare and he still holds the position of Inspector
of Schools for the immense district Of Saugor
Many Of our readers will recall the series Of in
teresting lettors from his pen, dated at Saugor
which we copied during the Indian mutinies IN
1857 and 1855. His health having be-
come impaired by his assduous labors, and by the
seventies of the climate, Dlr. HALL returned to
this country in the fall Of the last year flial
pilgrimage. On his way back to India to resume
his studies, during few months sojOurn in Eng
land his merits as a scholar have thus been recog
nized by the University OF Oxford, in a way that
will be peculiarly gratifying to his own College,
and to his many friend in this country.
The TIncs speaks of Mr. Hall as " the au-
thor Of yoluminous History of Vermont. 8"
For so prcminen, a member Of the Vermont
Historical Society as the editor Of the Times
is, such a mistake is hardly ezeusable.

min Ii. Hall, younger brother Of the Mr..

EASY MoDE OF MAKING CURRANT JELlr.-
As the season has arrived for the ripening
of currants, our readers will be pleased to
know ofa certain easy mode of making Jelly
without the vexation of having, after all their
trouble, only soft molasses-lo looking syrup,
instead Of firm, elastic jelly. 1t has been
fully tested by several lady-friends in whose
judgment we have full confidence, and 1t can
therefore, be fully relied on
Squeeze the juice out of the currants ;
strain and measure it. Put it in a copper or
brass kettle, and boil it until the scum ceases
to rise; then, without taking the juice off
the fire, stir II one pound of well-refned
sugar to every pint of juice and as soon as
the sugar is fully dissolved-which will be in
less than a minute-take it off and pour it
into the vessels prepared to receive it. This
Jelly retains the beautiful crimson color of
the currant, much better than the old mode

MISTAKE IN TREATMENT OF HoRsEs.-A cor
respondent of the Country Gentleman thus
alludes to an error frequently committed in
driving horses
Among the mistakes in the driving and
general management of horses which have
come under our observation, one has often
surprised us on account of Its inconsistency
with what seem to us very plain and obvious
principles. We refer to driving quick-as
quick as at any other time during journey
Immediately upon starting, when the horse
or horses are often as full as feeding and
watering can make. Even when horse has
been feI and watered an hour or two before
starting upon journey OF drive OF several
miles, 1t Is proper to drive slowly for the first
mile or two but when the feeding and water
ing have been more recent, the prOpriety Of
going along at Il jog or easy pace is still
more urgent. Collie, founder, broken wind
have, all of them, resulted from too rapid
driving, when a horse was full. A friend of
ours, physician, who had occasion some
times 10 violate this dictate Of good manage
ment in his haste to reach some case of great
urgency, once informed Us that when hu
drove 1T rapid rate immediately after feeding
his horse would scour almost invariably, and
seem to suffer considerably.
VERMONT QUARTERLY GAzETTEER,-A His
torical Magazine, embracing Digest of the

Miss HMESwAY is already avorably

likely to win for herself additional honor by
the work Of which we have the first number

The plan Of the work Is to give IN a series
Of Quarterly numbers-fourteen in number,
one for each County in thesState,-a histori-
cal sketch Of every town in it-grouping
those Of each County in one number.
In many, we suppose in most cases, these
sketches will be furnished by persons resi-
dent in the several towns, the Editress
supervising each one, and supplying from
other sources what additional informa-
ton may be at her command to fill
up the outline. In other eases recourse will
be had to existing publications Of authority

Lager bier, " says the Scientific 1me1con,
con account Of the long continued fermenta-
ton, contains less nutritive matter and more
alcohol than other beer or ale. \ COM
parison of about twenty chemical analyses
of lager and other beer shows that, in lager
beer there is an excess of alcohol over malt ex-
tract, while in other beer the excess is in
favor of the malt extract. Ia lager the
malt extract does not reach five per cent,
SO that one would be obliged to drink two
or three gallons in order to get from this
yillainous food such an amount as would be
required il taken in civilized way. Ale
often contains larger per centage OF alcohol
than lager, but the malt extract is still in
excess unless the ale be very old. Certain
witnesses have testified, and Courts have
decided that lager is not intoxicating, but
in view of the fact that pint Of lager con-
tains as much alcohol as an ordinary glass
of brandy, it might be suspected that those
witnesses and courts had been indulging in
lager Just at the time they needed their
sober judgment Finally. it is claimed that
lager is pleasant bitter tonic, stomachic,
anti dyspeptic, &C. But healthy men need
no medicine: and friend Of ours, who
prdes himself on being an American,
suggests that lager is too-tonic.'
