The fine weather of the past
week has brought the busy harvest upon MS,
A continuance of sunshine is anxiouslv
hoped for until the crops of small grain
are garnered. In two weeks from this date
if the weather is propitious, wheat, oats,
ments. Despite the many apprehensions of
an almost total failure there is now a pros
pect of an average crop of the small grains.
Nothing near the damage feared has been
done by the wet,-comparatively little OF
the grain is lodged, and the stalks have
beaded up much better than was hoped for
month ago. Corn is now the only crop
which can fail badly, and few weeks OF
warm dry weather viii bring that up to an
average Potatoes, which it was feared
would be destroyed by bugs, promise better
than for many years, and there is no doubt
of the supply being the greatest of any
year since the appearance of the bug.
ANOTHER VIEW = Since writing
the above we have been shown by DR.. Wv
IAN samples of wheat from six different
helds on the Belmont prairie, which are
anything but promising. The rust is in it
badly, and the grains are blighted to a con-
siderable extent. The DocroR also informs
us that he was out in the Noble neighbor-
hood on Thursday, and found the wheat
there to be in the same condition. Not
more than half a crop is expected in either
of these sections. The damage has only
been discovered within the last three DAYS.
On the barrens" and oak openings, the
crop promises much better than on the
prairies.

LATE FROM JERUSALEM. Recent ac-
counts from Jerusalem speak of the rapid
progress and important results of Lieut..
Warren's explorations in tho sacred city.
More than fifty shafts have been sunk,
revealing archways, galleries, buried
halls, reservoirs and water courses, thus
getting glimpses of the city as it was.
BY one of these shafts the foundations of
the old walls of the old Temple area have
been found ninety feet below the present
surface. On some of these ancient
foundation stones numerous mysterious
characters have been found, some en-
graved on stone, others merely painted
red, but the key to their meaning has
yet to be discovered. The exploration
OF the Birket Israil, or Pool Of Bethesda,
has revealed q vast reservoir nearly one
hundred feet in depth.

An Important Disoovery-A new Method

An Important Discovery--A New Method
- .of- Preserving .she Human Body.
I. "A correspondent of the london fAMs-
nae una, writing from Naples, gives some
interesting information respecting the
means employed by Professor Abbate, of
that city, for preserving the human body.
He says:
.'Some secret similar to Abbate's has
existed for long time, as oil travellers
who have visited Florence probably we'll
know. In the Cabinet Of Physiological
Anatomy in Santa Maria Novella there
are preparations of portions of the hu-
man body by DR.. Segato. The Grand
Ducal Government refused to purchase
the secret, which died with Segato. His
preparations, repeat, were only por-
tions OF the body, whereas that which is
now being exhibited in Naples in the ex-
convent of Santa Maria della Nuova is
the entire body of youth of seventeen
years Of age, who died of pilthisis about
the end of last January. For five months,
therefore, it has resisted the action of O
very variable atmosphere. The features,
the integrity of the form, are perfectly
preserved as they were at the moment Of
death. The nails have roseate hue;
there is no odor of any kind; and the
