ravages In the sugar cane in some locali-
ties, we may mention that Jacob Dedder,
Of this place, has used . mixture Of fresh
lime and asheo ~ m oxterminator, with

this simple and cheap remedy. It II said
these troublesome bugs prefer the sugar
cane to the corn, on account Of its sweet
ness. Tho present prices of sugar and
molasses should stimulate our farmers to
use every exertion to save their cane

The Fairfield Ledger says that the nett
receipts Of the Aid Society 1t Fairfield on
the 4th, were t275. The same journal states
that At present every thing Is favorable for
more than an average crop. The wheat has
turned out much better than was expected
u few weeks ago. The oat crop viii be good
though the straw 10 short, and We have
seen but one piece Of meadow that was not
good. The corn crop promises to b =
good, if not better, than any we have ever
had. The chintz bug has injured the wheat
somewhat, and they have visited few
fields of corn. We have had SPLENDID
rains, and the corn, potatoes, &C., can al
most be seen to grow.
