ToSToGASY, June 20, 1871.
En-. JOURNAL; The season OF harvesting is
fast approaching and from present appearances
We will have larger and better crop Of wheat
than we have had for many years. All over
the surrounding country stands beautiful fields
of golden grain almost read for the sickle, aud
should the weather prove favorable many fields
will be put in shock this week. Corn looks well
but does not, as a general thing, stand as even
as last year, owing to having to be replanted on
account Of cutworms and dry weather but, 10
II Is very forward we look for another heavy cron
crop this year. Oats will be fair. The late
rains have helped them materially. Grass will
be light from the effects Of the dry weather.
Taking all things into consideration the farmers
In this locality have no reason TO complain.
The wool trade here has been quite large
prices ranging from 80 to 3j cts, few lots some
higher. We think that the farmers have done
a wise act ia disposing of their wool early, and
have realized more than they would had thew
held il for higher prices. The prospcct for fruit
is very poor especially apple and peaches. The
frosts aud measuring worms have almost ruined
the apple crop.
am happy to say that the prtspecla for a
potato crop is improving daily. war Of ex-
termination has been wagcd against the potato
bug and win be continued until potatoes have
sufficiently matured to be out Of danger. My
potatoes were literally covered at one time, bn
I"went in on them" aud think can now say .
that | have as good prospect for potatoes as
ever had. would advise the planting in future
Of the earliest potatoes until this pest hal
disappeared, also the raising Of sweet potatoc,
cal be made profitable as they are not attacked
by the potato bug.
The Sons Of Temperance have increased her,
until they number about one hundred and thirty
They hold weekly meetings, and are still adding
to their numbers, but we would advise them t.
close earlier than they are in the habit of doing
The idea Of holding weekly meetings to as lat,
hours as they are in the habit of doing is in IN,
ju lgement not very commeniable. Let them
try and close earlier in future.
Peck and Milcr's store has been enlarged
and repainted. Black and Tngraham have en-.
larged their Drug store ana the inside arrange.
ment has been greatly improved. The ole
rickety side walk in front uf Van Blarcum'
Hotel is being removed and good pine one sub
stituted. People getting oil the cars in th,
night were in danger nf having their necks o.
legs broken. This will now be obvialsd as il il
all level from the cars to the hotel.

The main object is To raise money to purchas,
