compelled them to reach the steamer by
means of hIc boats through the surf ol the
ocean side, A tremendous sea was raised
on the bAy side, but not on the ocean. The
scene of the ladies, gentlemen and children
going over the seas, schOoners sailing by,
the steamer lying at anchor, rolling beauti-
fully, but unpleasantly 10 those unused 10 it,
and over all a magnificent rainbow, alter

New wheat is coming in in considerable
quantities at Middetown, and is selling at
81. 80 per bushel. This is very low price,
but 1t IS probable that many farmers will
throw their grain in the market at this rate
rather than hold ii at risk.
The wheat and hay crop IN this neighbor-
hood have been secured in good order. Most
of the wheat was cut last week-lhe yield is
abundant, the heaviest crop harvested for
many years. Those who have had an op-
portunily OF observing that the wheat in this
part OF the State is far superior in quantity
and quality to that OF the best wheat lands
In New Castle. This is mainly owing TO our
exemption IRON storms that prevailed in the
upper county. Our hay crop IS also very
fine.
TnE usuRY LAWS of several States are now
being revised. New Hampshire provides that
the lender may receive interest as high as nine
per cent, by special contract, the legal rate
remaining at six, unless otherwise specified.
The usury bill pending in the Connecticut Le-
gislature is substantially a copy of the Mas
sachusetts law, providing that six per cent,
shall continue to be the legal rate where no
rate is mentioned, but borrowers and lenders
may agree in writing to any other. The House
hesitates to interfere with the ancient usages
of the State in this respect, but its hesitation
will hardly affect the practice Of business men
