RoUdHNEss.-The hay crop in this portion of
the Valley is shorter this year than we have ev
er known it. There will not be made enough to
answer the ordinary pu rposes of the farm and
our farmers gathering and cur
ing their fodder and saving their straw. Hay
was sold in this city. within the last few weeks
as high as fifty dollars per ton. There will not
be any to spare, worth mentioning, even at these
high figures
The fall pasture is also very short, and many
Of the far ners will have to dispose of soma of
their stock, or starve them

shells oats, one hundred bushels rye, 16 tons hay,
