OUR HARVEST.

Notwithstanding the damage to
our crops by the drouth, ETC.,
the prospect is good for At least 20
bushels of wheat to the acre. II we
can show our eastern friends that we
can feed the grasshoppers, lose 10
per cent. by drouth, and then have
more left than they can raise in their
most profitable seasons, they will
think this not a bad place to emigrate
to. The emisaries Of other roads
will receive little benefit from the
absurd stories they have told about
the ravages of the hoppers. Now is
a good time for those wishing to
learn the truth to make us visit and
see the result of the threshing, which
will be the true test. Some of our
farmers have already commenced
threshing, and al! are well satisfied
With the yield.

The censure Of the A0certiser is none too
strong and is heartily endorsed by this COM

vertiscment, was discussed and condemned by
all who read it. So mcensed were the busi-

confined. The man who is mean enough to
attempt to draw attention to his business by
coupling his advertisement with notice of so
great calamity as the death of our President.

and he probably will be. To the credit of
hiscommunity we are glad to inform our FL
mira cotemporary that the firm who have
made themselves so notorious are ONLY inter-
lopers here, and that none Of our old estab-
lished houses would have been guilty of such
an outrage.
