~The Season@Craps, sc.


We often hear il remarked, that
:. this IS the most Backyard season
within the recollection Of the Oldest
citizens, and that crops can hardly
produce an average yield, in conse-
Quenca Of the continued cold wealth
er- That the present season Is some
.'vira backward IS true. hut ttrat the
prospect for short crops Is the natural
result, does not follow.
In looking over our files for past
years, we find that the Spring Of 1859
WAS even more baeIlwa ard than the
present. and yet the crops Of that
year throughout the country, were
more ,ban an average yield. We
ind that in 1859 there were heavy
frQsts nearly every week mp to and IN
to July. Farmers looked sad the
fore part of the season. and predicted
afaiIure of nearly everything planted.
but when harvest time came round the
cry was. What can we DO with our
grain ?. In all parts Of the country,
Wheat, Oats, Corn: &c. were so album
dant that many predicted that prices
would hardly pay for harvesting and
threshing. and vet we believe in the
end. producers were pretty generally
very well paid for the products Of
their farms. The present season may
not be like that Of 1859, but We see
no particular reason for espondcncy
or fear Of famine. If the eroIsAturn
out good, as we trust and believe they
viii, an Should feel thankful for the
favors Of Divine Providence but if
they prove a failure, We must WELD
to the viii Of the same Power, and
shoulddo it without murmur. There
is rs yet no reason for fears of star

THE UNION PAIFIC RAILROAD.-OPEN 425
dILEs.-A few weeks since we noticed the
opening Of the Union Pacific Railroad to
JuIesburg, S77 miles west Of Omaha, and we
now have to report its completion to Crow
Creek, a point As miles further west, making
a total of 425 miles Fifty miles Of track in
addition are graded ready for the iron, and
there is no doubt of the completion of the
road to the base of the Rocky Mountains
early in the fall. The Company are conf
dent that the whole line to the Pacific viii
bs open for business in 1870. The Indians
have annoyed the surveying parties and tie
cutters, who are many hundred miles in adj
vance of the work; but they have a whole
some fear of the population that a railroad
carries with it, and all trains run without
interruption.
The business of the Company has been
most datterings The earnings for the quar-
ter ending August 1st, were about 100000;
but as the report for the last week in July
has not been received, the exact fraction
cannot be given. These earnings accrued
from operating an average Of notmOre than
$50 miles of road, and after deducting Oper-
ating expenses, the balance is far in excess
of the interest obligations OF the Company
on the amount of bonds they can issue on
that distance. It should be remembered
that this result is from a way business alone,
through a new country, and is not to be COM
pared with the vast through business that
must follow the opening of the whole line
to the Pacific. The success of the enterprise
seems to be thoroughly assured, and we can
sec no reason why the the First Mortgage
Bonds are not entitled to rank among the
best securities. The daily sales are now so
large, that the Company already entertain
the idea of advancing the price.

TOLEDO & COLUMBUS RAILROAD.-Mr.
| Janney, Secretary Of the Hooking Valley
Railroad states that contracts for grading
that line as far as Lancaster have been let to
reliable parties on favorable terms, and rea-
sOnabIe hopes are entertained of having the
cars running through by next spring. Mean
while the projected enterprise Of extending
this road to Toledo continues to be agitated,
and the prospect growsstrongert that the line
viii be built. The Toledo Blade remarks
concerning the enterprise:
The incorporation of the Companies pro-
vided for at the meeting of the 18th inst. is
which of the four, or more, routes proposed
shall be adopted2 Toledo has but little
choice. A road over any one OF the routes
would give Toledo coal at a low price, and
country which has hitherto gone elsewhere
and her proportion Of the cost she can and
viii raise for any one OF the four. The queS-
tion must therefore be decided by those IN
terested outside Of Toledo and Columbus
All the routes viii be surveyed, and the cost
tons that can be obtained upon each viii be as
certafned. Then the advantages and disad-
Vautages Of each viii be considered, the best
route adopted and the others abandoned.
! It is to be hoped that the surveys viii be
commenced Immediately, and crowded TO
completion as rapidly as practicable. 1t is
of the utmost importance that the route Of
the road be decided early enough in the sea
son to enable the 1ncOrpOraDorS to make the
grand effort to raise the stock this fall. The
road must be built sooner or later, and it
can be done better now than two or three
years hence. We earnestly hope that there
will be no delay in making the preliminary
surveys.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
INTERESTING 10 OADVERTIsERs


The following extract from a report Of tho pro-
oeediugs OF the N. Y. state Editorial Convention.
holden at Penn Yam, Thursday, june n, is very
significant:
''on the question OF Advertising Agencies, some
discussion was induced by recommendation from
the Chairman OF The Committee on Agencies. that q
resolution be adopted, whereby publishers should
no longer be allowed TO contract for space 10 bo
nned With short miscellaneous advertisane entB,
SUBJECT 70 frequent changes. It was argued that
such course enabled agents 80 contracting 10 do
Work at greatly reduced rates. and to the prejudice
Of all other parties. The firm or George P. Boweu
Co., Of New York, being regarded as the princi-
pal one which had adopted this system and Mr..
RoweH being present in the Convention, he was
called upon to reply TO the charge. Mr. 8. M.
Pettengill, also ofNew York, remarked, in sub .
stance, that by this system, Messrs Rowell q Co.,
we're enabled to contract for business al a much
lower rate than he could do, and claimed that the
publishers should fn self defence cease 20 make
contracts in this way. Many present however
recognized it as an advantage to be able thus TO
dispose OF fixed amount OF space 10 a respons iblo
party for definite time, since they thus obtained
class Of business to be secured IN no other way,
and as a large number already had contracts Of
this nature with which they were sati saed whuo
others had space TO spare and were willing 10 on
tertain similar propositions, no action was taken
in the matter"
The advantages secured TO the advertiser BY
this system Of contracting are truly very great

Much sickness, undoubtedly, with Children and

Children having Worms require Immediate at
