and quality. In only one county has the weeyil
been stem. The weather has been propitous, no
storms OF rain or wind, and harvesting is well I'M

require the sickle to cut them. Hay crops are a.
ready safe in the barn, and plenty at that Corn,
the great staple Of ALL has had all the ram and hot

To do her hare at feeding the hungry nations. The
Democracy have taught us that the European de-
maud was always dead certainty. But where Is
that demand low, and What is to become OF the
uodicum there is, if Europe should be favored with
crops equal to ours? The Il cory will then be seen
to be as grOss a,sham the Democracy itself. Just
now q dTouth is setting in, but new wheat from
this State and New-Jersey is already in market.
The new monument, in Independence square, to
the memory Of the Signers of the Declaration, has
brought up OF our periodical disturbances Of the
question touching the long-ago proposed monument
to Washington. The Society of the Cincinnati hold
fund for this object which first begun in 1911.
1t has been accumulating ever since, not by fresh
contributions, but by gains of interest, until II now
amounts to $46,4l1. Some propose to let it in
crease twenty-sx years longer, when il will amount
to $780, 900, which will build great pile of stone,
hateful to look at and sure some day TO tumble
over. But from present appearances We must wait
much longer for the erection Of the column. One Of
our journals in view of this half-century's delay,
proposes to embody the poets idea Of Patience on
monument, by substituting figure of that very re-
putable female.
Pardon us villagers of Philadelphia, but some of
the simple folk sgog at the prospect Of the Great
Eastern being permitted by New-York to come
hither-wheD you, and the reporters, and the grog-
geries have done with her Concede us this excite

them. Our fresh water will be the death of them.
The Delaware is not a mill stream, as certain OF
your own poets have represented. We can float
her to wharves, or anchor her in forty feet wa
ter. Now take your choice. But the thing will
pay. Have we not q million people here and here
abOutl Then think of New Jersey-is it not the
land of squashes? Let me pray that you relent, as
we are disposed to be liberal.
The congregation of unclean birds which gath
cred here last Tuesday, to witness the great race
between Patchem and Flora Temple, exceeded even
that which lowered round the carcass of Hicks on
the ga.lOws at Bedloe's Island, on Friday Bring
In at the race here, and the death there, had a
chance of taking note of both. All the New-York
and Baltimore rOWdies must have been mixed up
with our own, as assuredy no such congregation of
beasts was ever seen here. The only wonder is,
how they managed to separate without fight Pub
he opinion is settling down into the CONJUNCTION that
our Tace-cOurse must be abolished.
There has been slight flutter at the Stock Board
in consequence of the stoppage of weD-known
bear firm on extensive short contracts. These par
ties began business seine years ago with capital
of about 500 Geo. and have generally acted on the
bear side of the list The recent general rise in
stocks has caught them in tight place. But as
they are known TO be honorable men, it is fully ex
pected the Board will reinstate them in their places
a. soon as the Committee shall have examined into
their case.

There are strange eccel tricities in the iron trade
cf this country. We are making iron bridges in
