Weather and Crops.

IL We have been experiencing dcsolating
drouth for two months previous to Sunday
last. There had been nothing like respec-
table rain in this vicinity, that's within IA
dms Of thirty miles. Some pieces of wheat
on sandy land have suffered some. Grass
scarcely one-third yield. Corn and potatoes
in certain localities have suffered much. Mr..
rs. SALISBURY, who has just returned from
a trip northward as far as the Minnesota line,
says that he saw some pieces of corn that fire
would run through lie brings good re-
port Of wheat It never looked better. He
says that it will average thirty bushels to the
acre. 1t is nearly all harvested, and the
best quality of grain, plump and free from
disease.
For some ten days previous to our last issue
the mercury ranged from 100 to 100 in the
shade, and in the sun on August 4th, itrun up
to 40. 1t has greatly impcded harvesting,
and theout do labor. 1t has been the hottest
weather on record, ever experienced in this
valley.
The fate of the crop is now pretty wei! de-
tcrmned. We can now thank the Lord of
the Harvest for a bountiful yield the great
harvest is over, and we may sing our har-
vest home with voice Of grateful thanksgiv-
ing. The great harvest has swept up the
valley with its ringing and clanking of steel,
and now. fingers upon our northern border ;
and now we come upon the dividing line be-
tween summer and autumn.
Sumer is passing, is passing away,
Its wealth, its music is gone,
The strong oak sways in the winds play,
1tF And the birds mute at morn;
And the pale leaves drift in their bright decay,
For summer Is going-summcr il going.

Pigs.

One pair of pigs, according to ALLNuTT,
will increase in six years to one hundred and
nineteen thousand one hundred and sixty

Shade Trees.

Let farmer plant out by the roadside
one hundred trees at a cost of $50, (and that
lis liberal cstimate) in ten years time that
farm will sell for $500 more than it would
without them; and we venture to say, that
the owner would not have them removed for
that sum.

a Slight Brush at Aquia Creek.

FREDERICKSBURG, May 20.-The ball has been
opened by the Lincoln Government in this section
Of Virginia. On yesterday evening, "wednesday
about sunset, war steamer-suppesed to be the
Pawnee-opened fire on the batteries at Aqua
Creek, on the Potomac river, which compliment
was returned by our batteries.
The firing was continued by the Pawnee until
fifteen shot shell and grape and canister dis
charges had been made. On our part, twelve
shot-solid and shell-paid their respects to the
Pawnee. The steamer was about two miles out,
that the effect could not be told, but it was be-
e?ed that several struck, particularly the twelfth,
which was she'll and it is thought fell on the
deck-after which she quickly moved off,
Nobody hurt - on our side, except young Nc
wounded in the arm by piece of shell which had
exploded.
The mettle of the boys at the Creek was up, and
more determination was never evinced by vet
erans.
The various companies encamped at the Fair
Grounds, including Capt. Alexander's Gordon
Rifles just organized, were dispatched to the
Creek-a of which returned this morning.
The Tennessee boys, Second Regiment, Col.
Bate, who are camped at another point, did not
wait for orders from headquarters here, but having
heard the cannonadng started off in trot for the
post of honor. [Cor, Richmond Whg.
