Condition of the Crops.

EDITOR CALEDoNIAN: From the August
Report of the condition of the crops, just
issued by the d., artment of Agriculture
at Washington, the following interesting facts
are gathered:
The June and July report, OF this Depart
ment exhibited a most favorable view of all
the crops. Those harvested before the ear
ly frosts were undoubtedly large. But the
later fail crops were in some sections Of the
country severely injured by frosts which &C.
cured on the last two or three days in Au-
gust. Over most of the latitudes between
Minnesota and the Ohio river ice was form
ed an eighth of an inch in thickness. This
sudden change of temperature is reported to
have been occasioned by storm extending
from the pole to the equator bringing down
the cold air from the arctic regions From
these frosts the corn crop received considera-
BILE injury in the corn-growing states of the
West-especially Mimi, Mich, ILL.,, and Indi-
ana. Corn, tobacco and sorghum were the
principal crops injured by the fross, tobacco
receiving the greatest injury. CThere is one
consolation to tie users of the weed, how
ever; much greater amount is raised in the
eastern states then heretofore and we'll Sc
cured, so that prices, at present ruinously
high, may not be materially effected by the
injury west.) In the Eastern and Middle
states the frosts did very little damage, and
the crops are quite an average The hay
crop is generally good, though in most of
the Eastern states it was not secured in the
best condition in consequence of the exceed
insly rainy hay season. Apples are reported
plenty in K. l.. Conn.,, in some parts of our
own state, and in some of the Western states ;
in others the crop is light. Potatoes, gener-
ally, are light, though in some sections of
the country the report is favorable. In this
state the crop Is quite generally effected by
the rust and rot, and the yield will be unusu-
ally small.
The sum of the Departments Report, how
ever, may be considered favorable and the
general harvests of the country are quite an
average-promissing liberal supply to the
increasing demand for all the products of
Agricultural industry. I.w.S.

AN INTERESTING RELIC.

The piece of clotn exhibited by VIM. Val
num Of Peacham (which was noticed by the
committee last week if it could speak could
tell wonderful story. In 1896. when the
Indians took Mrs. Dustin captive, they also
it was then being woven. History informs
us that Mrs. Dustin killed her captors, ten in
number, on an island near Concord, n. II
She TOOK this piece of linen, which the In
dams had stolen from her house, to envelol
the ten scalps in and carry to the settlement
as unquestionable evidence that she had kill
I'd her captors. Mr.. Varnum's little daughte,
is the 9TH generation from this heroine Of
those dark and bloody days.
