Shields did oil that mortal man could 70. lie was

4. The Wheeling INrELLrGEScER, speaking Of
thegrowing crops in Virginia, says; 1.-THE fields
are us heavy with grain as In the most favored
sous we know Of. Wheat is unusually hne, while
moved, arc covered more ,hickIy, and will give a
greater weight Of hay 10 the acre than for years bo
fore. Oats are not yet in head, but We have not
scen field that looked yellow or sckly; and with
the necessary warmth, the crop will be propor-
tonaely large as those OF either wheat rye. Po-
tatoes never looked bettor, while tho young corn,
Of rain, and a ''spcll" of growing weather, 10 do
quite as well as any Of the rest"
