Our Fairfield correspondent "Seth' writes;
The abundance of rain while it has kept the
river high SO as to trouble our millmen, has in
sured US another good grass crop. Nothing but
a severe drOuth can prevent heavy crop this
year. Grain of all kinds is doing well, but
with other crops there is not the same amount
OF promise. The spring has been so back
ward that the corn crop is just planted and the
wet weather does not seem to hasten its growth.
We learn that the agent for the corn can
ming factory has contracted for some over two
hundred acres. which, with an average yield
will give from $50 900 to 400, 900 cans.--Com-
plants are numerous of the ravages of the cat
erpillar. There is good ground we think for
the fears expressed that we are to suffer this
year as the western part of the state did last
year.--The interest in the Reform Club con-
times in good force, and marked change is
manifest in our village. Great credit is due
the boys who are striving so hard to overcome
the force of appetite and old associations
