cinto, which place she left or Saturday, but
was compelled to lay up at Knights Land

grain is looking very promising, but the
ground is too wet for blowing, and unless the
weather is dryer during the remainder of the
winter the amount of late-sown grain will not
be as large as usual. Captain Foster yester-
