The Crops.

The Cvops.
We have reports from correspondents in
various portions Of the county in respect to
the crops, and the reports are given below
in brief.
soUrH>EAsTERS TAMA.
Wheat not so heavy as anticipated in the
spring, yet better than was thought possi>
bic to be, n few weeks ago. Some wheat has
been threshed. and the yield to the acre has
been from IL TO Is bushels. Some Of the
farmers are confident that their crop will
be as high as 20 bushels to the acre. There
were but few acres so far as our CORE s.
pondent could learn. unprofta bic to cut.
Tea wheat sown on new or strong ground,
was the best yield, with fair crop on all
ground. Club wheat is poor at the best, and
the only cases Of entire failure was in the
club, sown on old land. Some wheat has al
ready been marketed, and while small
portion is shrunken, the most is up to the
average and weighs GO pounds to the bushcl.
The Oats crop is very heavy and will av-
eragc about forty bushels to the acre
The general testimony is that the corn
crop was never so promising as now.
Potatoes give promise of o large crop. The
potato bugs have disappeared altogether.
eoUTH WESTERN TAAA.
In the townships Of Highland, Indian
Village and Carlton, few extra pieces of
wheat have been threshed and have yielded
Is bushels to the acre, but the general es-
innate for those three townships is 10
bushels and it cannot exceed II bushels to
the acre. The quality will be about No. @
No oats have been threshed, but the yield
is estimated by nearly all at so bushels to
the acre.
Corn gives excellent promise of good
yield.
E0THERN TAMA.
Our correspondent in Buckingham, has
made Inquiries in the adjacent townships
and he reports the average yield Of crops
to be about as follows: Wheat ~ bushels;
oats, GO bushels; corn, Is bushels to the
acre. Potatoes give promise of q large
crop.

the Liver, stimulating it to vigorous ac-
ton, promoting the secretion Of healthy
bile, and SO regulating its particular func.
tons, that the impurities Of the blood are
effec:ually removed, and the system put in
condition for complete restcrement to
strength and vigor. The BITTERS alse
give tone to the stomach, expelling morbid
matter, fitting it for the proper discharge
of its legitimate functions; creating an ap-
petite for food, and preparing that impor-
tant organ for the process Of complete dis
gestion. And again, they act as general
tonic, restoring wasted strength and in
creasing the nervous energy. These are
vital considerations. No other single med
icine effects such general salutary results.

Early Maternal Instinct.

if we can live through it until Christmas
We shall find it cool enough to suit us.
Early Maternal Instinct.
So far as We know, the maternal instinct
belongs, in greater or less degree. to each
female in the whole scale of existence from
the ray fishes upward; and, in the
lower animals, usually manifests itself
through the operation Of special demands
oceasioned by actual maternity. Accord>
ingly, the display Of an affection for the
young, not developed in this way, is pecu.
liar, and often not little amusing.
A pretty illustration of early motherly
Instinct was related to us by a lady Of this
place: Some months ago, an Industrious
pullet devoted herself patiently to her nest
and gave reasonable promise that she would
soon be the mother of family sufficiently
numerous to employ her full store of aztec,
ton and all her power OF scratching. But
when the full period of incubation was up,
only one little chick pccped to reward her
toll.
II was therefore thought to be useless
waste Of working force to employ the moth
err bird solely in caring for q single chick
en-, for which reason it was transferred to
another part CT the yard qnd placed in
charge of q god-n.other with a brood Of six,
already grown to half plumage. The god
mother wickedly pecked at i. and utterly
refused to engraf. it into her family tree.
But one Of her children yearned toward
the little stranger, in motherly fashion,
and. after few minutes billing and cooling
over it, took it in charge, :and ever since has
watched over it aud cared for it with dill
gence and discretion of mother hen with
several summers experience. The self
constituted. step>mother broods over her
little charge at night, scratches for it with
marvellous energy, and, when q nice morsel
is found, clucks for it to come and eat, and
in every way performs a mother hens of,
fee with unceptionable devotion.
The incident is curious and not little
ARISING, but the young mother will never
know what an important atom she adds to
the sum total Of influences in the world,
derived solely from blind instinct,--a thing
incomprehensible and unde6nab'e by man,
and yet so important, that to blot it out
would be to strip the earth, in a brief pc
riod, of the whole race of inferior animals.
From Natures chain, whatever link you
strike,
Tenth, or ten-thousandth, breaks the
chain alike

Some years ago Scotchman was called to

ship, has taken out a patent on a new
Wrinkle IN fencing. He takes an OBJ.
long piece of iron and makes hole
III each end, at right angles to each
other, or bends piece of wire with
two holes bearing like relations to
each other. Through one of these
holes he Inserts screw and tastens
the iron or wire to tree Of post. and
through the other hole runs the wire
Of which he makes his fence. When
the tree has grown so as to threaten
to ovcrgrow the screw he draws the
screw out of danger, so continuing,
no matter how large the tree may
grow. This he considersa good idea,
many Of his neighbors agree with
him, many strangers, also, to whom he
has shown the model give testimony
Of its value. Mr.. Sherman will soon
be prepared to put his new pate~t on
