Tue RArNTrE CRoPs.-Since Saturday
evening last the earth has been watered, al
Intervals with most refreshing showers
Their influence IL plainly visible upon the
growing crops. Indeed we have never seen
the spring crops of grain and vegetables in
q more forward condition at this season OF
the year There win be an abundant yield
Of corn, oats, potatoes and vegetables OF
every description. The only failure will
be the wheat crop; aud even that, we are
informed by our friends In the country, will
be very much better than was anticipated.
Many fields that looked very barren and
unpromising in the early spring have
turned out well, while In some localities
the yield is excellent. We also learn that
in Miami, Dark and some of the adjoining
counties, the harvest promises far better
than had been expected, and the prospect
is, that with the abundant yield of the sum
mer crops Of grain aud vegetables-so far
from anything approaching scarcity or
famine-we shall have "enough aud to
spare" t.I
In the great wheat regions of the North
west--portions which we have recently
visited-the yield of wheat will be i'm
mense. In Wisconsin, northern Iowa and
Minnesota, the largest wheat harvest ever
known is anticipated; and it is also sig
meant fact that at least one-third of las
years crop is still on hand. This is true of
other sections, including our own valley
There is large amount of wheat still in
the hands of the farmers of this country
We have heard of several farmers who
are buying flour for family use, for the
purpose of holding on to the stock of wheat
on hand In anticipation of higher prices
hereafter. These considerate gentlemen
are very likely to be disappointed There
are good many farmers, If we are not
mistaken, who, three or six months hence,
will regret that they did not sell at present
prices But, we suppose that is their own
business.
In word, there is most hopeful and
encouraging prospect of . full and abund-
ant supply of the ''fruits of the EARTH the
present year-a supply sufficient to meet
all the wants of our people, leaving large
surplus for ortatlon--notwithstand
Ing the dismal forebodings of croakers and
spectators.

The stable, with Its contents, was consumed
but the prompt arrival of the steamers
saved the adjoining property from destruc-
tion. The stable of E. Lindsly, on the OPP
posite side of the alley, was considerably
scorched, but not materially injured. 1t is
not known how the fire originated. 1t was
raining at the time, and any other conclu-
sion than that the premises were intention

Der of competent artists, as well as many
o0npoisseHrs in matters of this kind, and 1t
is the unqualified Judgment of them all,
that our city has never been favored with

art. Many of the paintings are the pro-
ductions Of some of the first masters of this
AID other countries, and all of them are ut
to grace the parlors and drawing-rooms of
any who can afford To purchase them. A
number of the paintings were offered at
auction, during this afternoon, but we have
not learned who We're the lucky purchaser.
The sale will be continued at eight o'clock
this evening, and we would advise all who
wish to purchase, to be present. II Is not
likely that our citizens win soon be Afford
ed another similar opportunity of supply

art for the decoration of their dwellings.

Great Fire Among Oil Wells.

HIIU5 II'Ih' TENN. July 3.
There was agreat fire on Bennehoff Run
last night.
During the thunderstorm the lightning
struck the gas-pipe in the Western Union
Telegraph well, which exploded, and then
ran down the run communicating the fire
to several other tanks which in turn ex-
ploded, and caused one of the heaviest con-
hagrations that the oil regions has ever ex-
perienced
We learn that twenty large producing
wells were burned up, including two or
three large flowing wells. AS far as we
can learn, some 10000 barrels of oil were
destroyed, and some parties estimate at a
much larger figure than this. The oil was
a foot deep as 1t ran down the run to Oil
Creek. There were also between twenty or
thirty derricks destroyed.
