River ADORE SteubenYfIle.
rTsliBGg HsaAi ~ -
Browns Island, de location Of the
NJ E picnic on "Wednesday last, deserves
sotnething more than 4 passing notice In
VisR Of The pecaliarities 81 IL geography,
Is well Is Of the importance Of the island
itself. Our means Of information are
somewhat meagre, but we managed 70
CLEAN the following items which may be
q interest. The islAnd itself Lies about
four miles north Of SteubenYille, In the
Ohio river, and in the county Of Han.
cod. West Virginia, extending about
one mile up the river, and contains in
he neishborhood Of three hundred acres,
AZ which about go are irst.elass tillAble
land, very fertile and lying higher than
the contiguous bottom land on the Ohio
side. Il contains now three farms oecu-
pied respectively by Lyman Steadman,
James Cooper and Henry MyEer, each Of
whom Is provided Niths comfortable
dwelling and all the eonyeniences.
The land, 90 far as our researches ena.
bic rs to state, was originally located
about 4 hundred yearsag by one OF the
Brown family that settled in the locality
Of Holidays Cove II 5 very early day,
which one We are not particularly advis.
ed, and from him it took i'd name. Sub.
leauently 1t was owned BY one Of the
Hookers, and alter him BY Mr.. JeWett,
who in 1859, sold out to james Cooper,
who afterwards transferred = portion 70
Lyman SteadmAn and Henry Ny1er, the
three being the present occupants.
The Island seems At no very distant
day 70 have been a portion OF the main
land, the indications being that it was
attached TO the Virginia side. The
whole formation in the vicinity, in fact
Is rather remarkable. The eastern hill.
rise unusually high and bluff, and cover
ed to this day with the original growth
wild and luxnriAnt; more striking or
beautiful scenery is no where TO be seer
on the upper Ohio, than that about
Browns Island. Just below, the river
makes . very short but very regular and
graceful curve Of fully semi.circle, EN-
btacins what Is called the Half Moon
Farm, In itself most noticeable feature
Of river landscape; while the upper ex,
tremity, commences the long, deep and
singular depression which interesting a
nearly . leTel, the valley Of Harmon.
Greek, .: Holidays Cove, miles below,
seems very evidently to have been an
GENTLY bed Of the Ohio. Between this
valley and the present river there lies
quite a body Of land including some
very high hills partly cleared and cul'
tivated. n.

The Southern Crops.


NEW YoRE, August 5.-The BGQtin
to-day makes the following announcement
in regard to Southern crop reports:
"Our latest mail reports from the
South state that the Louisiana sugar crop
never promised better than At the present
time. It has hardly 4 contingency to
meet between now and frost, unless it be
August or September gales. Seasonable
rains are passing over the sugar belt, and
soon the periodical showers may be ex-
pected. The excessively hot weather has
been very beneficial 70 the strength Of
the cane, and the growth has been very
rapid in the last few weeks. With no
accident from storm or too early frost,
the sugar crop OF this year willshow that
Louisiana is last climbing up toward It's
former figures in sugar production. Cot.
ton has improved in the last week or two
all over the South. The crop Is in ex-
cellent condition. Thus far no worms
have appeared, except in Louisiana
and Alabama in small areas. The cotton
planters seem 10 fear that too much
cotton will be made. As 10 food crops at
the South generally, II would appear that
from the Potomac TO the Rio Grande,
from the Ohio to the Gulf, the crops are
universally good. In Texas such grain
crops AZ corn, wheat, rye, oats and barley
have not been seen in the memory Of the
earliest. settlers. And 80 il is through
all the Southern States. In some, how
ever, the wheat crop has not been Of a.
large yield as in some previous years, but
it is found TO be sound, OF large grain, OF
the best quality, and harvested in fine
condition everywhere. Anincreasing At
tention seems in all the Southern States
to be given to the cultivation Of the
sweet potato. The farmers no longer put
in mere patches for table use, but now
plant large fields Of this incompatible
crop, a. they have learned by experience
It's wonderful productiyeness a. compared
with other crops, and its great value as 4
hog and stock food.
