MT. SoLoN, May 1S.-A month ago the
crop in this section seemed to flourish, and
years, but as we have had no rain to speak
of for some weeks and two OIL three frosts
with an almost constant wind, it has dam
aged the grass crop and gardens to a great
extent. Glover will be almost an entire
failure even if the rains should come; other
grasses are very short. Wheat seems to be
doing well. The farmers are all about
through with their planting, and are busy
hauling off their hay and grain that they
have left over. The most Of it goes to
Staunton. &
