| THE CRoPs.-A correspondent writing US
from the neighborhood of Ringwood, says
the rains have greatly retarded the crops,
but good yield is yet anticipated. Wheat
has fourishing appearance IN that vicin
lty. The crops through this section are
represented to us as being in a good con-
dition, the stand of cotton, with few ex-
ceptions, being much better than the con-
| hnued rains led the farmers to believe they
would have. Unless the seasons in the fu-
ture should prove too unpropitious, the
farmers this year will in Il great measure
recover the losses which they sustained
last year.-Weldon Ners.
ANOTHER ROBBERY. Thursday night
! last, some unknown person entered the
smokehouse of Rufus S. Tucker, Esq, at
his residence, and stole therefrom twenty
| four pieces of fine bacon and two bags Of
| flour. These occurrences are becoming
| too common, and especially so, that with
good police force who are vigilant, it is
very seldom that any discoveries are made
of the articles stolen, or Of the thieves
! There is reason TO fear that these robberies
are committed by an organized band, and
we know no way of breaking them up but
| by Il strong and vigilant citizens guard, or
some other strong force. 1t is high time
something was done TO detect the perpe-
trators.-Ral. Sentinel.

HAY.-Let any one visit our wharfs and
see the large quantity of hay brought from
New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia by
every steamer and vessel which reaches this
place from those citiesand we would suppose
theIquestion would suggest itself, cannot all
this hay be raised in North Carolina. 1t Is
stated that the hay crop Of New York Is
worth rs much as the cotton crop OF the
South. Every bale of hay brought to
North Carolina takes out of the State
! never perhaps to return) at least three dol
lars and fifty cents, including freight
With the sli ghtest effort on the part of one
hundred farmers in Craven county ten
thousand bales Of hay could easily be
raised. Cannot one hundred be found who
this fall will put five acres of land IL
grasses, if so the above quantity will b'
raised IN Craven county alone.
