wheat. Fruit. DC.

We were shown yesterday by VIM. 8.
Harris, Esq, two punches of the Nee lorus
White Wheat, grown near McMillan's Sta
ton, which is of fine growth, measuring
two feet in height. :
The editor of the Kingston East 7en,ses-
seedn says that the wheat in West Virginia
and along the line of railroad between
Lynchburg and KNOXVILLE looks promis-
ing and if nothing prevents will afford an
unusually large yield. wm
A correspondent writing from Pond
Creek, Loudon county, states that the
wheat in that section is fine and looks very
promising, with the exception of few
fields injured by the late cold snap. Oats
look well and corn planting is about COM
pleted. The fruit crop bids fair and APP
pies, peaches, pears and plunls are expect
ed to be very plentiful.
The same correspondent also notices the
arrival of several families of Northern far
ners in that vicinity, who are well pleased
with the climate and soil, and say they are
but the fere-runners of others who are
coming.
