Recently, we have seen q few wheat fields
along the Cleveland & Columbus road

along the lake shore. the wheat fields looked
well, better than usual, while the prospect

good quality Of that along the lake, will
materially improve the general yield.

'The wheat n this County has improved
within the last month almost beyond pre-
oedent. As general thing the wheat
stands thin upon the ground, but the recent
favorable season has finely developed almost
every head, and according TO the stand of
straw the yield will no doubt be fue."
The crop in Queen Anne's County is said
to be small one. Of Kent County, the
Chestertown News says: ''.a t'' ','

THE Boston Pilot is one Of the oldest

worthy of consideration by all Irishmen,
because it is just and right in its tone and
sentiment:
1T is the policy of the demagoeues ia
create feeling of antagonism between the
Irish Americans and the colored popula.
ton 10 this end they are constantly
throwing out taunts and insinuations. and
planting the seeds of eImity between the
two races. This design of the common
enemy should be discountenanced by every
man, woman, and child Of our race, There
is no more antagonism between the Irish
American and the negro than there is be.
tween the Anglo American. No more and
no less. The position Of one to the other
is precisely the same. The black man has
the same right to earn his bread on the
earth where God, the Father and Maker Of
us all. has placed him. as the white man
has He is made In the same image, and
the blood Of the Goldman was shed for him,
as well as for the more favored white man.
Il, 1--WE counsel our people to treat the black
man WELL He sympathises with the Irish
in their struggle for independence. As an
evidence of this we see it reported that 9
ieputatien OF colered men waited upon the

bodied colored men, we'll drilled soldiers,
all Of whom served in the late war, to
march to the Canada border, to fqht for
Irish liberty and Independence This IN a
noble act Of patriotism and loyalty to those
who, are struggling for right and Justice. -
And We trust that If any enmity has ever
existed between the Irishmen and the COL
ored men. it viii be-. Ia the light OF such a
noble spirit OF sacrifice upon the altar Of
justice and humanity forever obiterated." "
