Fair weather has been ruling for
several days past, and farmers are
improving the time by gathering up
and trying to save the little remnant
Of their carly crops. There is con-
siderable loss in this county in corn,
hay and grass, while wheat and
oats have suffered to a much greater
extent. a gentleman informed US
of I field of wheat which stood in
the shocks during the wet weather.
The grain was good before the rains,
but it has sprouted so much that it
is not worth gathering, unless it is
for the purpose Of grinding up into
feed for stock. This is probably only
q sample of many others.

TIE WnAavEs.-Thc condition Of
the Ohio and Kanawha wharvcs, are
Just causes for complaint. The mud
on these wharrcs is about eighteen
inches deep, and should be cleaned

hardly be done on them 4: all.

4 young lady living up town can eat
rs many roasting ears Us her fathers

1t is estimated that the recent

for Mason county, and one that will
entail hardships upon many Of oar
people this winter.
