Oscar Wilde is described as hardly to be
recognized since he had his hair cut short.
As he has never worn in England the knee
breeches in which he masqueraded on this
side Of the ocean, he is not eccentric in ap-
pearance, but simply ugly.

THE COMING CROPS,
AND WHAT SHALL THE HARVEST BE q
Talk, with Farmer. From the CouutIss 9th. Near
E.shbOrAOod on the Prospects for Yield OF
Wheat, Cora and Oats-An Average Crop
OF What and More Of Corn.

At the Phillips sale Of Jersey cattle, an In.
r~ELLIGExcER representative took occasion to
enquire OF a few OF the farmers present res.
pecting the coming crop Of wheat, corn and
oats. From the statements made, II an aver
are was 10 be arrived at, 1t might be said that
the wheat acreage this year isabout the same
ny last, but the crop will not be Rs great by q
large percent as last years, for last year was
q very good one for wheat, nor will 1t be quite
up 10 the average yield. The acreage In corn
Is larger than last years, but the yield will
only be about an average one. 1t Is as yet too
early 10 tell anything about oats. The acre
age Is not over the average, which Is always
small hercabouts.
J.. Z. Palmer, Esq In speaking OF Brooke
county, said that the wheat acreage was IN
creased this year 10 to Is per cent over last.
This was occasioned by tho good crop OF
1882. The present appearance OF wheat was
not as good az the farmers would like 10 see,
but the yield would be equal TO that OF last
year, owing TO the increased acreage. Corn
he consideredto promise about the same as
last year.
MI. J. A.. Denham, OF Belmont county,
said that In bis section better preparations
than usual had been made for the corn crop;
that more had been planted than last year,
and that 1t was looking well. The wheat
acreage was about the average, but that Its
present appearance did not indicate more
thAu q twO+thirds' yield.
In speaking OF the wheat In Jefferson
county, Ohio, Captain Hen Conant said that
the acreage was about the same, but that the
yield would fall short 80 to 40 per cent; that
while the fields looked excellent at q dis.
tame, on close examination they showed up
poorly.
A gentleman speaking OF Washington
county, Pa, said that he never saw wheat, as
a general thing, presenting o better appear.
ance at this time OF the year than It does
now, and SO far as he was able to observe he
gave It as his honest opinion that the crop
would be fully up to the average.
Mr.. Brice snpler, Of this county, informed
the writer that the early sowed wheat was
looking remarkably well; that the acreage
was about the same. this year rs last, but
that the yield, 10 say the least, would prob.
ably be about one.ffth of. Corn went In
well, he said, and with good weather would
do we'll.
Mr.. j. Z. Whitman, also Of this county,
said that the acreage In corn and wheat wal
about the same as last year, although prob.
ably there was more corn going In and that
It promised 20 come ont we'll. The wheat
crop he did not expect To be as good as las.
year by one.third.
