TIE HARVEST IN EURoPE.--By mail from
Europe we have the following resume of the
harvest prospects prevailing at the great food
supply centres, on the first of October, as re-
ported in Paris:
The accounts of the harvest In Germany are
very unequal, varying In different districts
from good to far below the average yield. On
the whole tho grain harvest Of middle Germany
was below the average; that Of the Southern
States was far better. From Austria we hear
that the yield OF corn is considerably smaller
than In the last two years; the same is true Of
ltoumania. Tho Russian harvest Is stated to
have been good, and the crops have nowhere
failed go completely rs In some places last year.
The fodder is everywhere poor, with tho ex-
ccption of q few mountainous districts. There
and surrogate have been much injured by the
unfhvorable weather. On the other hand,
there has been good deal of straw. Both
potatoes and beets have suffered from the heat
and drought OF July and the rain of August
The disease has also appeared with more or
less virulence In some part6, Tho hopes en-
tertained for the potato harvest are not, there
fore; high; but II is said that the beet is I'M
proving. The hops are said to be lii very
poor condition, partly on account Of the
weather and partly from the insects and the
disease, which have appeared In many gardens.
Scarcely quarter of the usual yield Is expect
cd. But little fruit has been gathered, and
even what was is poor In quality. This is par
ttcuinrly the case with the apples and plums
Nor Willie be numbered among the select
'yintagcs, as the quantity of grapes is small
and their quality Inferior. $50 ~ l.:

Brigham Young, the chief prophet of the
