The Crops. Within the fortnight
psf the growth and development of
the crops in this county has been
quite rapid aud remarkable. The
late warm W Gather has helped the
corn amazingly, and in many fields
our staple cereal is now nearly as
promising as it was last year. On
many farms wheat is now vigorously
heading out" and presents a most
encouraging prospect. Oats will
produce we'll, and the hay yield is
said TO be greatly in excess of that
of the past season. In spite of the
bugs there will doubtless be potatoes
galore, and whether Greeley is en-
dorsed at Baltimore or is ignored,
there will probably be no famine in
this land of the free and the homo of
the brave in consequence of the
scantiness of the crops of 1872.

The Aldine.

What The Graphic is among Eng

the American magazines, the differ
ence in point of artistic excellence
being generally 10 favor of The Al
DINE. 1t is certainly so in the July
number of the latter, the illustrations
of which are of more varied char
aeter than any hitherto published
The full-page frontispiece, patriotic

vantage as regards its Literature,
which no other magazine can claim
1t is hampered by no traditions which
it must support, and it has laid out
no speciality to which it must adhere;
consequently it is what its editor
chooses to make it. We can never
predict from one number what am

good, with, most likely, some new
feature. The feature of the July
