CROP PROSPECTS. - Colonel Bob.
Martin, who has just returned from a
two weeks trip in the Upper Green
River counties, in Kentucky, reports
that but medium crop of tobacco
has been set, and that, owing to a
long continued drought, the yield will
be fully one third less than last year,
and should the drought continue ten
or twelve days longer, there will not
be moro than half crop realized
Similar advices, through private
sources. come from the GAINESVILLE
district also from this State and Hill
nois. The corn crop, where Col, NJ.
has been, is fully as bad, suffering
from the same cause. Reports are
more favorable from Western Ken
lucky and Tennessee in reference to
tobacco. In Southern Indiana and
Illinois, too much rain, followed by
the long drouth, has caused the to-
baceo to French, and rot in the
stalk. Frenching means the leaves
growing long, thick, stiff and harsh
causing them to turn up. Rain is need
ed very much at present, and if we do
not have rain soon, the prospects for
the corn crop in this vicinity are not
catering.

While Dutchman was. passing through a
city in Vermont, n Yankee came up to him
and said: "Shon, if you will treat me to
cigar, IEwill show you trick" Shon agreed
Yank then placed his hand against fence,
and told him to strike it us hard as he could
Shon not thinking any harm could befal him
by doing sosstruck blacksmith's blow but
instead of hitting Yanks hand, the latter
jerking it away, poor Shon struck the fence
board, knocking it off. '"NIein Gott in Him
mil J" cried SiIon, ''what makes you 80 foolish
i knock my hand off up to the elbow o sock
er Blitzsi my poor frau, what will rhc say Z"
Poor Shon was bound to have revenge; so one
day as he was passing through field, he
espicd a man. Going up to him, he said ::
"Mynheer, show you a. little joke for. nod
ding. - there was no fence or tree near,
Shon put his hand against his mouth, and
said: 'Strike yust SO bardas you can" Myn
heer struck and Shon pulled his hand away
and received the blow on the mouth and was
knocked down. Shon jumped up, his mouth
bleeding and commenced dancing with pain
