The WEATHER AND CRoPs,-During the
past week the weather was warm and pleas
ant, with several fine showers of rain, and
altogether very auspicious to the growing
crops Notwithstanding the lateness of
planting, the corn is up and looks strong
and healthy, and with favorable season
may produce an average crop. The grass
has much better appearance than for sew
eral years past, and the hay crop will be
heavy--the weather continuing favorable.
Every effort should be made by our farmers
to advance the growing crops, and then
properly secure them when matured.
