Farm- ers aro now busy harvesting their vats crop, which, by the way, wil! be a tremendous yield; many flelds aro rated to make 100 bushels per acre. Wheat isa very poor crop,—eo Iniifferent that many acres were left not cut. The cause was Inte sowing last fall,on accountof grass- hoppers, and also too much wet through the spring andsummer past. It{s impossible to tell what the average will be; where there ts one field that will make twenty bushels per acre there are fifty that will not yleld over five per acre. Corn has been in the process of planting for nearly four monthe,—from the 20th of Mareh to the 10th of July,—bat all indications — are that there will be a large crop after all, Grass- hoppers, which areas much of a tople with us a8 the ralsing of any of our field crops, are leaving us slowly, Like our corn crop, they were very slow tocome up this spring, and we nearly all pronounced their sced os germiess as our corn, but wo were sadly disappointed. They have been hatching slowly ever since the 23th of May, and as svon as they were able ty navigate anuerial road they took tu thensclyces: wings and flew away, The hurm they did to us thls season fs no comparison to whut the floods have done. The hoppers arc the most whtmaleal creatures fmaciuable, Last tall 1 sowed wheat and Larlcy aide by side, and when the grasshop- pers cane they ato iny wheat entirely up. but never molested the barley. The wheat ground waa sown over, and the *hoppers worked upon that till frost killed them. This summer the wheat and barley caine on looking fincty, and ns soon ns the grasshoppers wero itched out they. contrary to my expectations, attacked the barley and tiearly ate It. up, while they never touched the wheat.

BASE-BALL, 4 TOUGH NUN oF LUCK, It seems by now tobe a pretty well settled fact that the Chicago Club management are uever to Lave the satisfaction of presenting a full nine in the field, no matter what atrenuots eiforts they make to that end. Beginning with the sickness of Barnes and the incapacity of Waitt, the chronicle runs down through the chapters of MeVey's disabled hands, Smith's broken thumb, Rowe's lame arm, the episode of Sullivan, the laying-up of Hallinan, and so on down to now. Yesterday the mavagement felt. considerable gratification that they were to put the full strength of their men before the public, and pit then: ogainst the Bostons fora lively struggle. Eggler had arrived and was in ex- cellent condition, aud, with Hallinan on second base, conelderable of tho trouble which has hung around that part of the field would be removed. With these expectations, judge, then, of the disappulntment when it was ascertained only oeliurt tine before the game that Bradley was Inid up with an attack of bitlous colic and could not play, The search for a player to fll the place was necessarily short, nod resulted in picking up Fisher, often called Cherokee, who was about the only pitcher in the city who had any pretense te experience or success, After. getting on the fleld, it was judged best to play MeVey and Auton as pitch- er and catcher, and try Fisher on third. Asif this was not enough, it was found that Mallinan was still unable to play ju the intleld, and so Ulnes, was put on ‘second, It fs not so wonderful, when the pusitions of the men are considered, that the team did not win, but itis not the less to be charged up against them that they lost by sheer force of mufling st critical places. The audience was mood-sized, but the most unruly and dissatisfled one that has been seen on the ground this sear, In fact, it wan about tho oly one that felt greatly aggrieved, aud manifested {t in away that could not be in jelnueratood by the umpire. ‘The descriptiun of the quine can be mado easily: enough and short enough by noting the effect of w few errors. Inthe fret funtug, Leonard and O'Rourke tallied on a tmuifel grounder by Hines, a passed ball, and oo bit of bad handling = by = Glenn—two runs, andoone earned, Inthe third Inning Wright tallicd after a hit, because Fisber mutfed o ball thrown him iu ample time to puttke runner oat. Intne sixth doniug a wild throw by Me Vey, o misplay by Peters, and a curious nculect to vover huine-plate, Jet White and Boud score two runs off one baso hit, and that a doubtint one. Under the rule which recognizes very hard Lit balls as duse-hits, White's drive ut Fisher might go tora bit. inthe seventh iuning An- son's fullure to hold_a third strike let Leonard ahd White score. The latter made four bases on his hit, but that would not carn the run, be- cause he would nat have come tu bat ut all liad Anson uot made the error, Hero ore the brief blozraphics of acveu runs; the other was carned in the last tuning, after two hands were out, by tong saly bits by Leonard and O'Rourke. ‘The home nine took for their shure three scores, une off George Wright's error in the first funing, another otf Brown's wild throw in the fifth, aud the last off Spalding and Ifnes? its inthe sixth, Mixed with the dutung was plouty of ahurp, clean playexhibiting the science of the game.

Hud there been: anything of a wind blowin, instead of the Hehe breeze, and had the fre departinent worked less bravely than It did, the fire would have extended to several of the aljacent Jumber-yards aud resulted ina heavy loss to the lumber-deatera, As it was, the logs amounted to about 812,000 on the ma- ehinery, building, and tools, and 81,600 on the luinber, ‘The box-factory was run by Maxwell for Pond & Soper, wha own the whole mill, and on whom the Joss will fall, To offsct this loss there jaan insurance of £7,000, distributed as follows: Couneeticut Fire, $1,000; Atlas, of Iartford, $500; Stan- dard, of Now Jeracy, $1,000; Fire Association, i; Philadelphia, $500; Cittzens',of Newark, $1,000; Atlantic Underwriters, 1,00); City.
