JOHN_ LECE.TE. nrassea. 515 Farmi-ng Prospects in the 'United States. The following sensible remarks of Mr. Alexander Hyde,,in the New York Times, while applying mainly to the, United States, may be of interest and profit to Canadians as well. He says : "Who ever knew such a favorable sea- son for farming as this" is the exclama- tion on all sides. Everything has win- tered wellr Every bud on the trees comes out sound this spring,and has ex- panded vigorously afortnight before the usual time. Seeming*, every root of wheat and rye has shot up from the ground as though the earth had now life iia it. Amarket gardener recently said. to us, "It seems asthough every seed. I had. sown this spring had germinated, and I never had such, vigorous plaints." The same story is told from all parts of - the country. The recent report of the crops in the Times, gathered by tele- graph from all sections of the United States, shows a wonderfully forward season, and gives promise of the largest hal-vests the country has ever seen. The wheat fields -a the West, the cot- ton fields of the South, and. the grass fields of the North are teeming with luxuriant crops. Kansasalone promises a surplus- of 20,000,000 bushels of -wheat. The orchards of the country are as full of promise as the corn and cotton fields. Every tree, frora the least to the greatest, has blossomed in the greatest profusion, and the fruit has set as well as it blossomed. Sta,wbT ries have already' made their appea a,nce in market, and are unusually large and abundant. - What is perhaps still mere notice- able, the inseet pests- seem to have re- tired from the field in confusion, ap- parently dismayed by the overwhelming luxuriance of vegetation. We have looked over the Orch-ards in vain to find the young caterpillar. So far as we have examined, not a tent of this foe of fruit has been pitched. The grasshop- pers are quiet in Kansas and 'Nebraska. Only the potato -bug has Yet dared to at- tack the growing crops, and this little enemy, I though armed with wings as tough as a coat of mail, we have learned not to fear. It is §low and stupid, and with an early stait and good cultiva- tion the potatoes have the advantage of him. Notwithstandina all these favorable signs, we hear son7e farmers croaking, and saying: " You'll catch it in May for this favorple weather in April. Snows and frosts -do not rot in the sky." There is no use in arguing with these croakers. We, however, twish to • say to farmers • that there is every encouragement in the signs a the times for agricultural enterprise. We may yet have cold snows, biting frosts, and drouthy skies but such has not been the characterof this season, and we confidently look for bountiful harvests. •, once 8, drug in the English Mar- 'r1ey are now in demand at TO - tion, and. was quickly renapved to his roo-ms,• where medical aid was sum- intmerative prices. The climate of England phts a veto on the production of prime pears, peaches, and apples there, and America is the orchard - ground -for that nation. It is not necessary that there should. be a war in Europe to make a Market for all, the produce -We can raise. India is stretching out her hands to America for food, and millions in China are hun- gering, yea, starving for want of breed. A. European war might, for a time, in- crease the foreign demand for our pro- duce, but this, while enriching; us pro tem. would impoverish Europe, and in the longarun would daniage America, for it would diminish the purchasing capacity of our transatlantic friends in future years. Heaven forbid that we should desire to build ourselves up from the ruin of others. There'is no need,of this. Let the produce and manufac- tures of our country go on increasing in quantity and quality in the future as they have in the past, and the tide of trade will flow here naturally. many cases the larger part of the in- comes of those rural clergymen to whom they are paid.

There might have been some truth in be- fore the ends of the earth were -brought together; but now, -when distant mar- kets are brought to every farmer's door, when a large portion of the earth is suf- fering for the want of food, and when there is danger that war will devastate another portion, and convert multitudes of the population from producers into consumers, to slacken energy and enter- prise for fear of an over -production 'is worse than folly; it is wickedness. Never in the history of this country was there such a foreign demand for farm • products as at this very tircie. The ex- ports of domestic produce froth New York for the first week of May were $6,830,957, against $5,955,726 for the corresponding week of 1877, and the to- tal exports for March, the last month for Which the official figures are yet given, were $71,529,948, against $45,- 791,286, in the same month last ear. Whatis perhaps equally encouraging, is that the imports for lent March were only $37,350,638, against 1$47,546,491 fOr the corresponding month in al877. This makes a great balance in our fa- vor. Since March the forei4n trade movement has been Muth the Same as during that month. We find in these fa,cts great eiacouragehient for increased production, espeCially" as agriculture lies at the foundation of internal trade could not be divulged, but Mr. Harris would not sign. He was of opinion he might be putting his name to a mort- gage or note, and positively refused to put his name to the paper until he knew the contents of it.

A gooct deal of mystery hangs round the affair. . a ---The boiler of Canaeron's sawmill at Thedford, blew up between 7 and 8 o'clock last Friday morning. The en- g,ineer, Mr. Treesdale, was killed, and several of the hands were badly cut and bruised, and among them the proprietor, Mr. Cameron, got some bad cuts on the head and face.

The fire broke out in the boiler room, 'and although a flow of water from a stream was poured. on the build- ing, it proved futile to stay the &Your- ing element. Thai mill, machinery and a dwelling house at the side were burned to the ground. Total loss estimated at 7,000; insured for $2,000. = --On the morning of Friday, the 10th. inst., Collector McLean, of Guelph, ac- companied by Officer Nichols, Seized an illicit still on, the premises of Robert Hassard, at a place called. Bell's corner, on the County line between Wellington and Grey. The still was not working. The apparatus seized consisted of still, worm and connections.. It was a small affair, having a capacity of producing about three gallons per day. It was destroyed by,the officers. • . -a-A very singular occurrence took place. in London last week. A man named Wm. Pace had a sick child, and at 4 o'clock on Monday morning it, to all appeexance, died. Arrangeraents were made for the funeral, the coffin procured, the child laid out, and a couple of medical men pronounced that death had occurred. Not a BUS - pinion that the case was otherwise en- tered the minds of any one, and at ten i o'clock the supposed dead body was put 'in the coffin.
