ituOiester-rie weather has been dry In Olm .
stcsl county during the week, a7d grain uy all
killds seems to bc maturing finely, Barley is
being put in shock rnpiily, AMI Inlny fields are
estimated at iiity hnahels per acre. On tho
whole. the small gfains promise better than In
my year suoe the great crop Of 1877. The
growth Of straw is sufficient to lodge few fields
tow IN places. but there hus been fortunate
lack of wind throughout the entire season. Po-
tatncs surpass any previous year in both acrcaye
and promise.
