Our farmers have finished the wheat
harvest and are now making preparations
for the oats harvest; some few have
already cut aud stored away their oats
crop. The wheat crop this year was .
very heavy one, the heaviest that has been
raised for 4 number of years, and the oats
crop is reported to be equally rs good.
Some places the wheat averaged nearly 40
bushels to the acre. The hay gave
better yield than was expected, and the
corn crop is in III excellent condition, and
If nothing unforeseen occurs there will be
the largest yield Of corn that has been for
some years. The tobacco is Coming along
finely, although some of our growers ex-
perienced considerable trouble in getting
the delicate weed started, but after it
managed to get a little headway it grew
finely. We know of one farmer who re-
planted his crop four times, and then be
ing unsuccessful gave up the ghost,
plOwed up the ground and sOwed buck
wheat therein. There is plenty of tobacco
in this neighbOrhsoi that will average 36
by IS, and great deal has been top
ped already. The potato crop is an ex-
ceedingly fine one this year, aud in fact,
every thing is in such 4 flourishing condi
tion that We can see no cause for the far
mers to complain about their crops this
year.
Vsnnor's Absurd Prediction.
AS the intensity Of the hot weather ill.,
creases and the atmosphere becomes
almost stiilius, along comes FennOrs pre-
diction of "snow storms and remarkably
low curves Of temperature for this
month, which for absurtity and ignorance
perhaps, cannot be equaled. Not much
confidence has been placed in these pre-
dctions by our fellow -cOuntrymen, who
do not intend to be among the stay-at-
home brigade and DC fools enough to wait
for this predicted cool weather, but intend
purchasing i round trip ticket from the
Gap, for the low sum of 50 70, and go with
Haverstick & Clark's grand three day ex-
cursion to Atlantic City, on Thursday. the
I'd inst. Every passenger will be provided
with 4 first-claSs seat.
