THE OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT GOOD.— Contrary to the general expectation in the fields throughout the county, from which the ice has disappeared, the wheat promise is most hopeful. It was feared by many that the heavy coating of ice that has covered it so closely for the past ten weeks, would smother and kill much of it; but that which is now visible, and much of it is, shows no signs of being in- jured in the least. There may be low spots in some fields where the hard freez- ing and heavy ice will cut down the yield, but on the whole our farmers are feeling exceedingly good over the prospect of a full, if not a record breakingcrop. Other people feel good too over the outlook, for “good crops” for the farmer means that everybody can have something to eat, if they have the money to pay for it. GARries—Aikey.—Reuben E.
