county, We hear, are looking very iinc
and promising IL was feared that the
long and cold winter had an injurious
effect upon them, but we are happy to

fears havs not been realized. The rye
also presents very healthy aud thrifty
appearance, and the indications are that
We will have an abundant harvest should

opinion now, however, that the frui.
was not far enough advanced to suffer.
