The reports of the Harvest yield are very conflicting. From some quarters we hear of unprecedew ed crops, and,, frem others reports come tnat they are &tamely worth the cost of gatheiing. 'Whatever the real state of' the case may be, we are 'convinced that the senaple of Fall wheat is very inferior. Seaforth is beginning to look much better, by reason of the new 'brick- build- ings whish are in course of erection this season. The Roman Catholic Church, -walls are nearlyup. Carmichael's Ho- ed tel is up to the first storey.

THE SEAFORTH EXPOSITOR. The Wheat Show for the North Rid- ing of Huiem took place here on Friday ast. Owing to the backward season very few have threshed, and there were only nine enirips, which were, however, all of good quality. The following gentlemen were judges : Mr. Perrin, Mr. Biggins, and Mr. Charlesworth, jr., of Mf. Whitehead's Mill. The prizes were awarded as follows :-1st, Jas. Cox, (a fine specimen of Diehl,) 2nd, James Lomas, 3rd, William Rutledge. Robert Gowenlock's Treadwelt Wheat was higlily recommended. Goierich Township carried off all the prizes. - Clinton New Era. EXETER. . ( Prom our own`Correspondent.) THE CROPS. -The weather, during the past two or three weeks, compared with what we had in the time of hay- making, has been quite favorable for the farmers, allowing them to secure their crops in very good order. A number of the farmers in this section. have threshed their Fall Wheat, and some of them feel rather disappointed, as the wheat is not turning out so well as they expected, according to the ap- pearance it had while growing. Some parties who expected to have forty bushels per acre, have to be satisfied with twenty-six, while we hear of some having only about twelve, However, we think, en the whole, that the Fall Wheat will average about twenty bush- els to the acre, which is not to be des- pised. The Peas, owing to so much wet weather in the early part of the season,' is a very poor crop. Oats are a very heavy crop, but are rather diffi- cult to harvest, as they are much bi 01:ea down. Barley is turning out well. The potatoes are rotting very rapidly. Some people ha -ye begun to dig them, to try aid save them in that way. The Spring Wheat looks very well, and promises a fair yield. THERE has been a great deal ofsick- MSS in the Village lately, principally Dysentery, and although we are well sit plied with Doctors -there being no fep r than five here -five persons h Ve died of this disease within the pa., three weeks, while a niunber more ar stilt in a dangerous condition. , NORTH'S Circus and Mestagerie 'visit- ed the Village on Monday.

August, the losing party to pay for a supper: The nuinber of players tieing limited, the old game was played. The following is the score, seven illp- ings, being played on each side: ON Monday last, the large barn. of D Henry Cook, Esq., Bayfield Road, ac Goderie• li Township, was consumed by fire, together :with it -large amount of . - grain. The cause of the fire is U11 - known, but as Mr. Cook's little boy was playing eround the ,barn shortly, before it, and matches were foiled m his pocket, one of which -had been par- tially burned, there is a prObability that the boy may have done the mis- chief unwillingly. The barn was eighty feet lone and well filled -with grain. - New Era. OUTRAGE -On Tuesday last P. McGregor, J. Walker and J. Browers were brought before D.

Kier, frOm New York Aug. 3 for Hamburg, before reported wrecked, had on board several -well known Boston parties as pitesengers. Letters'from diem receiv ed in Boston on Thursday state that the steamer had a pleasant run from New York until Saturday, 51 .August 7, when she ran ashore during a thick fog, in Fresh Water Cove, a 0out 6 or 7 miles distant flora Cape Race. She -went on at the foot of a bluff of roces, supposed to be from 150 to 200 feet high, and apparently (ae seen from the wrecked steamer) almost perpendi- cular. The rock-boundshore was seen a few seconds before the steamer struck . , and the engines were immediately re- yersed, but her hoadsvay could eot be stopped in season to preVent the disast- er. She did not strike very heavily at first, however, which fact is proved by another, viz. : that many of the passeng- ers (including ladies) were not aroused froth their morning slumbers. Those who were up and dressed rushed below and spread the unpleasant intelligence so that all on board were soon on. deck: quite a number in their night habili- ments, but excellent order prevailed. The steamer soon backed off, reit while this was being acecruplashed, she seem- ed to swing around to her port side; aud upori a sharp rock, and when the sea lifted her, she came down with a heavy crash, terrifying, of course, all unaccus- tomed to such scenes. A large hole 'Was stove in the steamer's button) when she commenced to sink quite rapidly. The officers remained perfectly cool, and, fully realizing the situation, attempted to run her in shore again, but did not succeed in getting in so near the bluffs as when she first struck. . The boats were got out without delay -as the steamer struck about 51 o'clock, and 'at about six some of the passengers' ;were leaving in the boats, one of which I con- tained the Boston passergers ahd oth- ers, 23 in nuinber, was steered for a time in a westerly direction, a compass having been saved, together with a bot- tle oi two of water and a small quanti- ty of bread.

The lady passengers were very sea -sick on board the little lifemoat, and were na- turally very week on getting ashore. A fire was built upon the beach, all ex- pecting to remain there throligh the te- dious hours of the coming night, but fortune smiled upon them, and two small houses = were soon discovered, whose inmates kindly rendered what assistance they could in getting the sufferers food and dry clothing On Tuesday morning, the party walked over a very rough road Or path. a dis- tarce of about four miles, to Trepassy Bay, wnere they were welcomed on board a French _frigrate at St. Johns.
