Mr.. d. G. DAVIS, of Broadway. New
York, was here on the "Four,h," went
fishing in Lake St. Croix, and had a
broad acay of doing that business. He
took out pickerel, four feet and four in

have weighed much more if he had been
stuffed with stones and gravel. The wa
ter is so low that the fish's belly was
much worn by rubbing against the bot

protruded out of the water. If Mr.
DAVIS returns here, we would like to go
fishing with him and 60 snucks" on

The Crops.

From our exchanges and from private
sources, We learn that the grain and
grass crop in Southern Wisconsin, and
Northera Indiana and Illinois, is almost
an entire failure. We have certainly the
best crops in the State, and wheat in
this county cannot average over ten
bushels per acre, and grass is very light.
The recent rains will add greatly to the
amount of coarse fodder, and we do not
anticipate any serious scarcity Of feed for
wintering the stock here.
