The Warrenton Wing SAYS 1t is true


that very large portion of the wheat crop
in this section has been materially injured
by the fly, within the last month or SIX weeks,
at the same time most excellent and prom!-
sing crop can be found in this vicinity, some
of which have come under our observation.
About three miles below town on the Fa-
mouth road, Mr. Lewis Shunlate has spen-
did prospect for a crop or wheat, equal TO
any made for Il long time. li's held con-
| tains ninety acres. and we think Will aver
age not less than twenty bushels to the acre.
While on a visit to Salem, recently we were
particularly struck with the looks OF the
wheat near that place, very large field be-
longing to Richard IL. Carter, esq, giving
every promise of an abundant yield. In ad-
dtion to the injuries sustained by cur farm
ers, from the hy those in the upper end sut-
fered considerably from the recent hall
| storms in that part Of the country, as well as
below Us in the New Baltimore nei9hbor-
hood From the ravages OF hail, whole crops
have been entirely cut down, and the farmer
! has been forced to witness the labor OF months
DESTROYED in as many hours. Taking then
everything into consideration, we Go not
think the crops are as backward or as I'M
promising as one would suppose. The corn,
although yet very young, looks very we'll, aud
| if nothing shall happen between this time
and September, we will have at least an
abundant yield of that article.
The Richmond Wing says:-The accounts
from the country are of a gloomy character.
A gentleman, vino has travelled through
much Of the State recently, gives it as his
| opinion, that not half an average crop can
be gathered this year. In many sections, the
plant came up badly, or vas badly winter
killed and many fields that promised well
six weeks aga, will not yield the seed that
was sown, in consequence OF the rara9e5 OF
the fly and ioint-worm, or both. Only the
very early sown and heavily guanoed fields
cen possibly yield fair crop. And those,
within the last week or two, appear 10 be
seriously threatened with the rust. \ cor
respondent expresses the opinion, that SOU
| or even $500 would not remunerate the
farmers the present season.
The Madison Eagle says:-"Dr. James
4. Reid, of Madison, has sent us spe-
cimen of very fine wool clipped from his
| Cotswold sheep. The following Is the
weight of wool taken from Il few tloeceS: Ia,

The Rockingham Register gives glowing
description of the Linvilps Greek portion OF
Rockingham county-the garden spot of that
section. It says;-"The Manassas Gap Raul
road, when it came knocking at the door Tor
permission and help to come through the
county to Harrisonburg, found the liberal
minded and intelligent people OF LAnyltrS
Cree!, ready to assist with their abundant
means. They subscribed most literally IN a
private capacity, allowed the right Of way
through their rich and valuable lands, tax
ing their damages in stock, and then cap
ped the climax" of their sagacity, by voting
for tax Of $50 900 on the part of the coun-
". of which Linvill's Greek pays no NEON
siderable part. Such Hberahty has already
made Linyills Greek the great highway OF
The VALLEY through Rockingham; and we
now advertise all who may ever travel from

the government and people Beautiful ave
nues have been opened, under the direction
Of French Engineers, resembling the Bonlc-
wards of Paris; shade trees planted, public ed
iccs and large and commolious dwelling
houses built, and many other Improvements
inaugurated, from which great social and
material advantages must occur. Ccmmer-
cial energy also has been greatly quickencd,
educational facilities increased, ldicncss and
crime diminished Many Of the sons Of At
tca, who have amassed great wealth IN Eng
land, France and other countries, and have
kuown By aetna! enjoyment of them the bles-
sings off, high civilization, have come back to
their homes, and are inlu>ing their own spirit
and hopes into all their kith and kin.
10 bcautify Athens, and make hcriiuStrlous

Orient, is their aim. 10 this end one creets
