FAILURE IN THE GRAPE CRop.-The
belief is pretty general one that fruit
crops seldom are abundant for two
years in succession. And this belief
seems to have a partial confirmation
this year in the grape crop, which is
almost total failure. Last year the
yield was unusually large But we are
told that where vines bore in abund-
ance last autumn, they now have less
than one-third of a crop. Some of our
citizens who, with good yields, would
have grapes for the market. will, this
season, not have enough for home use.
The Clinton grape seems to be the only
ole which has withstood the uniavor-
able conditions of the season, and at
Its best that is poor enough grape.

AcclpEsr.-On Monday of this week,
Mr.. Robert Wylie, a worthy citizen of
Crystal township, was returning, late
in the evening, from Toledo, driving
his team attached to small market
wagon. When about eight miles from
town. and about nine or ten o'clock at
night, his team took fright and ran
away, throwing him out and fracturing
his shoulder-blade and collar bone.
DR.. Thompson, of this place, was call
ed to his relief, and, though the injur-
les sustained arc severe, it is yet hoped
they will not result seriously. We
have not heard any thing of his con-
ditlon since Tuesday afternoon.

The Musical Convention, at Belle
Plaine, last week, appears to have been
a success, though some think it less
successful than the one held at the
same place last February. We were
in attendance on the last evening, Fri
day, at tho closing concert. This was
an occasion OF great interest, notwith-
standing the inclemency OF the weather.
The music was certainly worthy of the
place and the occasion. We commend
the enterprise and judgment Of the
people OF Belle Plainc in holding these
conventions tor tn, development of
musical talent in the participants and
a musical taste in the town.

In the north central portion of the
county, we learn, wheat is averaging
about fifteen bushels per acre. A great
deal of it is put into the bins damp or
wet, and then is damaged. Oats have
turned out bountifully, very little
damaged-thc amount Of land sown to
oats being more than usual. Corn
was all ripe before the frost came, and
therefore is not injured. Very little
hay has been put up, and the farmers,
prevented from haying in the wet
weather, will find hay bringing high
price next spring.

EFFECTS OF SEAsoNs.-It is the blessedest
thing in the world that We do not always have
hot weather, or these fertile acres Of prairie
would lie uncultivated for longer period of
time than We feel called upon to state in this

influence Of cool weather and dear, gentle
Cupid, young men and maidens, and even
old men and matrons are fiocking to the west
together in most congeinal ma ncr. There

PoTATo RoT.-This disease, SO dis
astrous to the potato crop in the Mid

TO be making its appearance among us.
Farmers tell us that their crop is sui
fering to considerable extent from it.
We have seen some instances of it but
are inclined to think il attributable to
the wctness of the season, rather than
to causes ordinarily producing potato

Sunday Schools more interesting and
efficient, as well as of Temperance IN

commendable temper aud earnestness.
The 'refreshmcnt" portion of the
proceedings was announced about one
o'clock, and was conducted in man.
ner as spirited and earnest, by the
whole assembly, as the discussion had
been by the speakers. We have no
doubt that all present will hold in re-
mcmbrance the feast of good things
there mcted out by the good folks in
and around Buckingham for long
time.
In the afternoon the several schools
represented performed with music and
speaking, and addresses were made by
Mr.. Knapp aud S. w. Cole, more di-
rectly addressed to the children.
The Church at which the exercises
were held was filled to its utmost ca
pacity. There were estimated to be
present some two hundred and fifty
or three hundred, about half of whom
were children.
