Ilo says before tho rains came some whent-fields had been plowed up and planted to,corn, but, linmedintely after tho ralns began coming, the small grains that re- mained gave promise of a harvest worth gathering, while corn shot up magnificently. In Buller County: there was an abundant rainfall, following occasional showers for three preceding weeks. The {mprovement jn the crops was linmiediate und marvelous, andthe indications now are that corn will be a bountifitl crop, while the yield of small grains wilt oxcecd the expectations of the most'ainguine, Going west with the raln into Olay, and, Adams, and Ianiliton, it seemed that, though the dry weather had affected the ¢ariier-sown grain, the moisture wroughtarapid and effectual change, and with the Intor planting, which the senson has mnie a necessity, nnd no further drawbacks, the harvest will be as_good na_aver before.
