Ee@ lDidtr, the above head, Nr.J. Goodwin is
contributing to thu Boston Commonwealth see-

having been engaged in railroad survey in

The growing season in that portion of
Minnesota, lying in the latitude of ST..
Paul, is some. weeks shorter than that of
Massachusetts,, aud considerably more lim-
tied than known, usually, in tho most
northern parts ;ct New England; notwith:
standing this, excellent grain crops are RI

'1eys, and corn, except occasionally, is bro't
to'maturity ) sorghum comes near enough
70 d completion Of its growth to render it
a valuable crop, but its seed asks more
favorable climate to bring it to perfection
On passing from region some degrees
south Of that which I speak, one would
find, in July or August, the. corn ield.
along the Minnesota in as forward state
Of growth as those Of the country favored
with an earlier Spring and longer Sum-
mer; the plaots, though late in breaking
ground, develop with rapidity that re-:
minds one of the effect Of hot New
England, August night on similar crops
when just watered by copious Showers
The farmers say, :";You can hear the corn
grow" in Minnesota, one can see it grow
almost. ,>,.,.. .., 49,. ? - I
The =ripening season in this country
gives the perfection of weather. In the
early morning the night mists, from tie
river, and the innumerable bayous sfong
its course, lie in soft, cumulous masses up
on the bottom.lauds, making a river Of
cloud, that follows the Rindings Of the
hidden stream, its banks the opposing lines
of bluffs that bound, the valley !; but the
coming Of the sun is the signal for the
dispersion Of the fogs, which break and
rise, and drag their; tattered skirts away
throug h tho dripping branches Of the
trees, and are gone: =: O. -

of the day, one watching the disappear:
ance Of the vapors, turning to the east
secs golden-edged. clouds floating upLinto
the sky, in lines one, behind another, the
emanations of distant and more distant
streams; and, as, soon as the sun is fairly
above the woods, finds himself bathed in
an atmosphere rosy, With light and tinged
With aan opal hue, while away on the ho-
rizon lie shades like the bloom d, pear
main or grape, but translucent and trans
parent as a asphere Of Japanese chrystal,
'and, like the chrystal, deserving the eye
in'its estimate Of distances, and size Of OBJ
