The Agent is now canvassing this city for

commend him to the consideration of our citizens.
The work is certainly the best of the kind ever

Happy Changes. people are apt to
sigh over the fact that this is world of changes.
SchoolboYs and schoolgirls have all made change
the subject of numberless compositions, until the
number Of changes that have been rung upon the
subject would equal the fabulous number ofmies
in the late comets caudal appendage But we are
not going to say much about changes in general,
though we might say that with the balance of our
citizens, ere shall be happy when the legitimate
quarters, dimes, halGdmes and 'such like take
the place OF the dirty, defaced and deiormed bits
of card board that have so long passed for change
here. We believe the necessity no longer exists
for this nuisance and they should therefore be done
away with, But that is not the kind of change
we started to speak Of We have been having
some warm dGys-we might say with perfect pro-
priety, exceedingly bywarm, or mot to puttoo fine
point upon it., awful hot days for week past.
The mercury has gone up, up, upl above the
hundreds, and we have borne it bravely for a
while, until about the middle of the afternoon
when it would seem as if we could bear it no long
er-the ice is ali melted and the fan brings no cool
ing breeze-aud we must melt, when all at once a
cooling breath comes waiting along from the lake.
The locusts begin to rustic, then the heavy oaks
become slightly, agitaed, and in halfthe time that
| it takes us to write the word change, steady
cool breeze is blowing from the northeast from
Lake Michigan. The fans are laid aside, clothes
are pulled little closer around us, and buttoned
and in half an hour forget that we ever thought
warm weather unpleasant. These are the happy
changes we meant to speak of. Oh, ye dweller;
inland, how little yo know Of true enjoyment
Come to the lake shore if you wish to enjoy the
! luxury ofehange.

Samples OF yVhCut.-Mc, Ozanne also brings
us samples of three varieties Of new wheat. The
Mammoth or Rio Graude--samples from field
Of WIN. Smiths of S9meis. This was fs for the
reaper, and the largest and plumpest berry we
have seen this season. The field from which this
was taken, (which is q fair average of the fields in
that vicinity,) Mr. O. thinks will yield, at least
% bushels to the acre.
Another variety was the Fyle. This was not a
ripe as the Rio Graude though it is nearly read
70 harvest It too was plump and large; the head
good size and well filled. This was from fell
of Mr.. n. Pedyiu5, and promises about the sam
yield as the one above. ABORTION Of this field ha
been stripped of the leaves by the army worm, bu
the kernel seemed entirely unaffected Anothe
specimen was the club, which was equally as goo
an either Of the others.
Mr. Ozanno thinks, from what he has seen {
the wheat crop OF this county, that though in quar-
tity it VIII be rather under the average vet !
quality it viii surpass the last years crop. Tn
straw is rather light and stands thin on the GROUND
but the heads are large and the berry plump, an

THE EnwtOn blackberry Our friend JAS.
OzANNG, Jr., of Somers, brought us in, two or
three dayssuco. samples orthj5 royal berry grown
in his garden. These berries were very large
nearly as large plums-and though mot yet quite
ripe, Of excellent flavor. Mr.. Ozanne inform us
that he has some forty bushes Of this variety and
that they are all bearing largely-on an average
six quarts to % bush. Woaro aware that many
have come almost to doubt the truth of much that
has been said in favor Of the Lawton Blackberry,
but Mr.. O. has luily demonstrated that theysare
worthy all the praise that has been bestowed upon
them lie informs US, that although the bushes
need protection in the winter the cost or trouble
Of protecting them is very small in proportion to
thc-rretan, Iopreaeryed his bushes last winter
by merely covering them with buckwheat straw.
It strikes us TINT plantation Of such berries il
the vicinity of this market, would pay as well, ne
ouu;arily, as any other crop that could be raised
