Notwithstanding the discOuTagng reports which have

abundant yield Many fields ripe for the harvest
and grain has already been cut The yield, though
below the average, will turn out wemuch better than
could have been expected after the OngcOntnued rains
Corn is small but looks we'll aud with little sunshine
will forward rapidly. Altogether the present crop
prospects are decidedly encouraging Clinton Herald.
