STEPHENS, the Irish Head-Centre of
Fenianism, is known to be against the
Canada raid. he was at Washington
on Wednesday, but declined any pub
lie reception by his countrymen, and
retired for few days to the house of a
friend in the country, with the avowed
purpose to prepare a decided protest
against the lawless movements of
Sweeny and Roberts, who, he thinks,
are doing infinite damage TO the cause
of Irish liberty. He will return to
Washington and deliver his protest in
the form. OF an address. In private
conversation at Washington he de-
nounced the leaders of the Canada raid
as reckless and wholly irresponsible
men, and he will probably make SO
plain and distinct statement of the
whole matter as to satisfy all reasonable
Fenians that Ireland cannot be helped

&THE reports from all parts of the
country agree that the past spring has
been unusually backward, and as a
consequence the prospects for an aver
age harvest are rarely encouraging.
The frosts and drouth of early spring
were particularly unfavorable to win
ter wheat, and that which survived the
winter had harder. time of it to endure
the spring. The breadth of land soWn
was less than usual. at the West, and
the farmers who have wheat to sell will
doubtless command high prices next
fall. The majority of accounts from the
Western States do not speak of more
than half or two-thirds of crop as be-
ing probable, and in some quarters
much less. In Western New York the
results of the spring are rather more
proPitious, aud there will doubtless be
a fair harvest. In Upper Canada the
prospect is also more encouraging, pro-
Vided the wheat now growing is safely
matured. AT the South the grain looks
unfavoEable, aud the planters think 1t
is the cold and drouth that has caused
the wheat TO rust badly in some OF the
States. The spring crops are more IA
worldly spoken of, especially since the
recent copious rains. Corn and oats
are in general, throughout the West,
looking eneouragingly, and give prom
Use of good harvest, and as more land
THAN usual has been planted, the deficit
in the wheat CROP may be in some de-
gree remedied. They are backward,
like all other crops, but with favora.
bic season there will be good harvest.
Potatoes at the West are suffering to
some extent from the ravages of in
sects, and in some places serious results
are feared if the pests are not extermi-
mated.
