HAY AND OTHER CRops.-Farmcrs in this
vicinity are in the midst of hay harvest. The
crop Of clover hay now being reapcd is very
heavy, and will produce Il fine yield. limo
thy is probably not so good this year as it
frequently is, the cold, wet weather OF the
spring months having to some extent re.
tarded its growth, but still it promises Il fair
if not medium yield.
Wheat and oats are unusually promising at
this tine. The fears which were INDUCED
in as to the effects of rust upon the wheat
have not been realized, and the prospect now
Is. if no untoward evil beIall it, that heavy
crop will be cut.
The corn is too small yet to make any cal
culations as 10 what will be gathered.
Potatoes are very fine, and plentiful sup
ply may be expected.
A friend remarked 10 us few days since
that the crops in Virginia were heavier than
ever before, basing his remark, as he said
upon the fact that the farmers were moi
grumbling.

The LATE FIRE.-Inspector Fox has made
an examination into the facts concerning the
late fire on Marshall and Madison streets,
and finds that there was no "expIosion of a
kerosene oil lamp" The child's death was
caused by burns. Her clothing took fire
from the lamp, and it is probable that some
oil may have gotten upon her clothes, and
thus the flames were increased.
