very best local talent, , some 01 which have

once, Mr, Jackson's reputation in •the.
concert line is so well established that it
is needless to say but what this one will be
asoc'id, .if not better, than previous ones.
Tnn boors.—The weather of the past
few days has been very favorable for the
crops, which, notwithstanding their in-
jury by frost, are •Iooking well. Grass
will be a very good crop. In ourrambles
about the country wehave noticed some
good pieces of fall .wheat, and some very
bad. On the Ransferd farm is a fieldthat
would elate the heart of any farmer, but
taken generally in this section the fall
wheat crop will be considerably below
the average. The prospects of.tbe spring
crops are favorable,' circumstances consid-
ered, and may do much to .make up for
the deficiency of fall wheat, in fact tae
wheatcrop may not be much below the
average, as more springwheat was .sown
than usual.
