About the Crops.


The following in relation to the
crops, from the Cincinnati Gazette,
will be read with interest by our
readers. F..
We arc now in the first week OF
summer, when definite conclusions
may be reached with reference to q
large portion OF the crops, and es.
Inmates may be made in regard to
others. AS to tho wheat, it may
be said that the country-takiug
all the States will yield lair av.
eragc crop. In many places the
crop is poor; in others it is very
good. In some instances the yield
per acre will be low, while tho ag,
gregate, owing to an increase OF
acreage, will be up to what is call
ed an average crop. Upon the
whole therefore, the promise is fair
for about an average crop Of wheat
of good quality. We have heard
but little of the fly so far, and
nothing as yet Of rust, but Of tho
latter tho crop is not out Of dan
ger. Until within the last few
days the temperature. has been de.
cidedly favorable for wheat, but
just now we are bavingh hot wealth
er, with frequent rains, which is
apt to produce rust. Of hay, the
crop will be good, and full yield
may be calculated upon. Oats will
also yield largely, and dealers are
anticipating a heavy decline in
prices, on tile incoming of the new
crop. The figure talked Of is 4Oc,
against SO@85c, the current price,
Barley will be short. Fruit of all
kinds will be plenty. The.yield in
different localities will vary, but
in tho aggregate We shall have an
abundance. Our markets are al.
ready supplied with strawberries,
which are selling at from 8@l5c
per quart at retail-l24c tho lead
ing price for good quality. Cher
ries are coming in freely, and the
opening prices are low as compar-
ed with late yoars, which shows
that whilo there has been a failure
10 some localities the crop is good
in most places. Apples and pears
will also be plenty, although many
orchards are in o measure barren.
There will also, we judge, be o
good supply Of peaches at reason

NARROW ESCAPE PROM THE CRAVE.

The Cleveland PIaindealer tells
the following remarkable story Of
a case which IL says happened in
that city. .t
Some six weeks ago a young lady
residing on Lorain Street, Miss III.
len r. White, was taken III by What
was regarded by her physician as
typhoid fever. For four weeks hcr
condition alterntted from better TO
worse, when about Two weeks since
she had severe relapse, sinking
gradually until it was thought she
bad died, and she was pronounced
dead by her physicians, her moth.
or alone refusing to believe her
dead. Preparations were made
Jor her funeral, the mother al the
time insisting that her daughter
was alive. She wus TO have been
buried on Sunday last, and her
narrow escape from the grave is
thus related: On Saturday while
one OF the ncighbors and the moth
er were standing by the side oi the
supposed corpse, tho door, which
had been left open, blew shut with
loud noise, which had the effect
OF no acting upon the girl as to
bring her 10. and set her life blood
in motion. She fprang up in bed,
and throwing Ter arms around her
mothers neck, wept tears over her
escape IRON the horrid death of be.
ing buried alive. The young lady
described her feelings during her
trance, from which it appears she
fully realized all that was going on. .
but her will was powerless. Her
situation appears TO have bcen one
ct perfect happiness except when
the thOnght of being buried alive
possessed her. .. --..- .-a.

FATTENIEG CALvEs.-A sensible
practical farmer told us tho other
day that he had often noticed that
calves would thrive better on milk
that was not rich in butter, than
on what was commonly called very
rich milk. That is fact in ac-
cordance with what We recently
stated, that the nutritive clements
Of milk reside chiefly in the case
inc. If you have a COW that
gives particularly rich milk and
one that gives a quality poorer in
butter, it is better in every way to
feed the calf on the milk of tho
latter. The calf will thrive better
and you'll get more butter from
the milk Of the first cow.-MGss.

we had occasion in writing, one
year ago, to say, az We say now,
that the prospect was favorable,
but that July and August made
the crop, and therefore no definite
opinion could be formed as TO the
probable yield. Nothing more
can be said now. II happened in
1867 that the excessive rains Of
April and May were followed by q
drought in July and August and
the latter cut down the yield Of

was considerably in excess Of the
wet spring of 1867, and, if the
theory Of average is TO prevail, we
may look for dry weather during
the summer months, and cons6-
quently another short corn crop.
But some Of onr mcteorologisis
claim that tho excess Of spring
rains tins year, was caused by the
deficiency in the fall of water dur.

fidence in the theories upon which
weather predictions are based,
would, IN our judgment, be of no
practical consequence, we have on
ly TO remark, that with scasonable
weather during the months in
which corn reaches maturity, there
will be a crop of this important
staple, far exceeding that Of any
former year. And with q good
crop Of corn, the year 1868, will
prove to bo one ofgreat harvests.
As good crops will insure a
