THE WHEAT PRospECr IN Ono
We learn that the prospects Of rich
wheat crop in Ohio are very promising.
A correspondent report as follows "Du-
ring au absence of five weeks, made OBJ
servations Of the prospects Of the wheat
crop passing through Fayette to Morrow
town, thence to Columbus, thence to
Piqua, thence to Toledo, ON the Dayton
and Michigan railroad. The result of
our observation was that along the entire
route the prospect, now for an abundant
wheat crop is as good as we ever saw it.
From Toledo west, through the counties
of Lenowe, Hillsdale, Branch and St
Joseph in Michigan, we never saw bet
ter prospect for good wheat harvest.
In. Elkhart and St. Joseph counties, In
diana, the prospect is very good /; but on
the Laporte prairies the wheat has been
a good deal winter killed, but in the tim
bered lands wheat looks well. In Mar
shall, Kosciusko, Whitley and Allen coun-
ties, Indiana the fields present cheering
prospects. From Fort Wayne eastward,
en- the line of she pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
and Chicago road 60 Lima, Allen county,
and thence ON the Dayton and Michigan
road, thence to Xenta, Morrowtown and
and this place, prospect for good
wheat crop is excellent.

ENPOst and Eruit.

General Fog was behind time on Thurs
day night, and General Frost had the
country to himself. lie did not have
time, however, to destroy all the fruit.
In some places cherries, apples and pears
do not appear to be at all injured in
other places they are injured severely.
Strawberries are partially cut off. The
trees are so full of young fruit, that half
the crop might be cut off and then leave
a pretty fair supply. Grapes are hardly
nipped in some places.-tSprinQtield Re,
publican
There was a heavy white frost in this
city yesterday morning. Qaite stiff
film Of ice was formed, but fruit men say
that little or no damage was done to pea
ches or grapes. The day preceding had
been cool and dry, whereas if the wealth
er had been damp, the fruit must have
inevitably pcrishcd Clearelaad Lead-
cr.
A frost occurred in this city and vicin-
ity night before last, which we under
stand did,severc injury to the early veg
etables in the adjacent country. We
have not learned that the fruit prospect
was damaged by it.-Totedo Blade.
We were visited by a severe frost on
Thursday night, which aroused apprehen-
sion for the safety of fruit. We are in
formed, however, thas no injury was done
in this immediate vicinity.--Bubalo Er-
