eve Of an abundant harvest. From our ex
changes in different parts Of the State We
clip the following notices:
From the Hamilton Freeman.
We are having a very liberal supply o.
rain. The crops are looking very fine-more
than we expected after so long a drouth--
Should no untoward circumstance happen
We shall have an average crop perhaps more
Cereals are looking finely. Corn in particl
lar never looked better for the time Of year
Potatoes, where not troubled with varmnt tc
which we referred last week, are looking well
From nc Oskaloosa Herald.
From pretty general inquiry among the
farmers We have met during the past week
we estimate there il on the whole. pretty
fair prospect for all kinds of crops in this par,
of the State. Fall wheat is coming out well
Spring wheat was somewhat injured by the
drouth, and many fields will be light. Oats
are said to promise a good yield. Corr
stands well and has grown rapidly for tht
last ten days, and bids fair for an abundant
crop.
From the Cedar Rapids Times.
The recent rains have improved the crops
wonderfully in this section of county,
Wheat is backward and the grass crop was
injured by the continued dry weather, but
corn has been making immense strides, ant
if we are coIgecay informed, there is nc
reason to complain concerning other staples
From the New Hampton (chickasaw co., Courier.
The crops in this locality, and indeed
throughout the county, have rarely looked
better. Wheat and oats have been greatly
benefited by the recent rains, promising
moro than An average yield. Corn, Of which
there is large area planted, is very forward
and never promised 50 we'll. Grass, which
had been effected by the dry weather Of May
and June, has been much improved by the
late rains, now promises well. Altogether
our farmers have reason to rejoice in the
prospect Of an abundant harvest.
From the Eadyville Star.
The corn in this part Of the moral heritage
never looked moro prosperous at this time o.
the year than at present Spring wheat
oats, and grasses are better than usual. Sc
far as we know, the chinch bug have not yet
commenced on the wheat.
From the Bedford (Taylor Coz Express.
During the past six days we have had INC
less than half dozen copioss shewers-sev
eral Of them lasting about three hours--oom
pletely saturating the parched earth. W.
haven't seen a farmer the past week 'bnt who
wears shining countenance when the sub
ject Of the crops is introduced. ..
From the Indianola Banner.
We had another fine little shower on las
Tuesday morning, which refreshed vcgcta
ton and did much good, but we, humanlike
wanted more. However. the prospect Of thu
crops is now somewhat flattering.
From the Council Bluff. Nonparen.
A sufficient quantity Of water has faller
during the last two days to put the grounc
in good order, and the hopes Of the farmer!
have decided upward tendency.
From the Alton National.
The crops in this counsy-wheat, oats
corn, etc., are in fourishing condition.
Winter wheat is ripening for the reaper, and
will yield good harvest. Corn is from two
to three feet high, and the tendency is de
cidedly upward. ..-.
From the Fort Madison Plaipdeaer. .....
During an excursion into the country tn,
other day, going out on one road and return
ing on another, we noticed everywhere tn,
fine prospect,of theripening fields Of whea

grounds are generally in fine order. and Their
is fair prospect of at least an average crop
