A Wonderful Forward SeasOu.aAm
Abundant Harvest in Prospect.

The New York Times lays before its
readers telegraphic dispatches from sixty
different points throughout the country,
and embracing twenty States and one
Territory, showing the condition of the
growing crops. Throughout the country
the season is advanced fully three weeks.
In New Hampshire fewer potatoes, but
more corn has been planted. Crops in
Massachusetts will be fully up to the aver
age.~.Breom corn has been largely plant
ed this year. In Connecticut hay, corn,
rye, tobacco and potatoes will be especially
| abundant, and the season for fruit is the
best enjoyed for years. In New York all
kinds of crops are unprecedentedly ear
| ly, and an enormous yield of fruits,
grains and vegetables is confidently
expected. The New Jersey peach crop
will be ample for home consumption and
for the ordinary market demand; the ap-
pie crop will be enormous; the crop of
grapes will be uncommonly large. The
Crops of Pennsylvania have not looked
so promising for twenty years. The yield
of rye, oats, buckwheat and corn will be
Is or 20 per cent. above the average. A
large hay crop is assured, and the yield
of fruit will be extraordinary. Delaware
will suffer in its most important crop
(peaches) through frost and other causes.
The yield is not expected to be over one
half of that of last year.
March frosts and April storms serious
ly damaged the fruit trees and early veg
etables on the low lands of Virginia; the
higher portions escaped material injury,
and the rye and wheat look well all over
the State. In West Virginia the acreage
of wheat and corn is largely increased
over last year, and these crops are fully
, three weeks advanced over the average
: year; the apple crop never promised bet
ter. North Carolina and Georgia report
a much larger acreage under cultivation
than last year. Alabama's corn and cot
: ton crops are the most promising fol
years. An Ohio correspondent says hi

Grapes are becoming an imprtant staple
and fruits of all kinds will be in abund
