During an absence Of four or five days
from the city, from Tuesday until last
evening, we had an opportunity Of seeing
and hearing a good deal in regard TO the
crop prospects between Wheeling and
Chicago, along the line of the Central
Ohio and the sandusky & Chicago divi-
aions OF tho Baltimore & Ohio road. Such
fields Of wheat have rarely been known
in the history OF the country. The trav'
eIer is scarcely ever out Of sight OF hun
drcds OF acres of golden harvest fields
The grass crop is also remarkably good
and likewise the prospects for oats
There will DO an immense hay crop
