As wa« anticipated, the crops this year are finer
and much larger than over before in the county.
They have all boon harvested, with tbo exception
of corn and buckwheat; the latter, however, l
fear, has been somewhat injured by the heavy
froata which wo bad for three or four nights last
week. Tho corn in soma places wit! probably be
not quite so good as it would havo bean had the
crops kopt off for a eouplo of weeks longer. Tfco
sugar corn has ripened, and been very sweet and
fino. Some of tho vinos, (uoh as melons and cau*
tolopes, have boen badly bitton by it; potatoes be
ing too far advanced, will not suffer very materi
ally. Tho weather has again moderated, and such
plants as have sustained no great injury from tho
cold will probably revive under the genial warmth
of tho sun.
With aa abundunco of provisions and grain,
provisions are low. Choice boef is retailing at [
about six couta a pound, and I will hero remark
that it is inferior to no meat in the Eastern mar.
kotg. Tho cattlo fatten up rapidly during the
spring and summer, on tho prairie grass, which Is
very nutritious, ond well adapted for that purpose.
There is uo doubt in my mind but that this is one
of the States in tho Union, and some
day will bo valued ’more on that account. Oats
are selling from twenty to twenty-five cents &
bushel, corn at thirty, wheat at sixty, potatoes
twenty-five; flour is worth from §5 to §5.50 per
barrel.
Our farmer* aro begluning to make some stir
about woo! growing; thoy think that raising sheep
will probably be tho most profitable business thoy
can engage in, and that tho wool will bo of a very
fino texture, and command a good price in your
Eastern markets. I saw a gentleman, * few days ago,
who told me ho had shipped some Minnesota wool
to one of your Philadelphia bouses, and felt en
couragod to oogogo moro extensively in shipping it
next season.
Raising sweet potatoes has been experimented
on .this summer, and I am glad to bo uhle to say
with success. A Mr. Rrittan, who reside* opposite
the town on the other sido of tho river, has raised
this season, I am informed, two hundred bushels of
theta, which are said to be very fino. Thcso arc
tho first that I remember to havo boon grown in tbo
county. No doubt but that his success will induco
others to try their luc-k next year. The (act hav
ing been satisfactorily established, that tho climato
hero is not too cold for the miring of grain, vegeta
bles, tto., and also that rich lands can bo purchasod
from two dollars and upwards per acre, will uo
doubt bo tho means of encouraging many to dis
pose of what little proporty they may have accu
mulated iu tho older States, ami identifying
their interests with ours. 1 would advise farmers
who are thus disposed to cotuo along whilst the
State is comparatively now, and tho prices of lands
low.
Tho sportsmen aro having lively times thi* fall,
game being very abundant —prairio chickens,
ducks, and geese aro shot by the hundred. A
friend of mino went out for two or threo days, and
succeoded In shooting a hundred and fifty chickens
and duoks, and devoted but a few hours in the
day, at that. Tho fish aro also receiving their
share of attention from tho disciples of Isaak
Walton, and some days are brought in by the
wagon-load. Yesterday afternoon a, deor was
seen swimming across a pond in one of tho addi
tions to tbo town, ami. notwithstanding a young
army of hunters wont in pursuit of it, tho animal
made good tta escape. Hoar tracks have also boen
seen in tho woods opposite to town, hut old Bruin
himself has thus far kopt out of sight.
The northern-light, which so much has been
written about iu tho papers of different flections of
tho Union, appeared hero in groat magnificonoo;
but as another description would correspond with
thoso already writton, I will it by with the
more mention of it. P.
Judge Litti.kjou.v, accompanied byJ. H.

New Kork, Sept. 17,1559.
The good people of Brooklyn, remariuble alike
for their piety and fooducw for athletic sport*,
have at length plucked up courage about their
Opera House, which for some months post baa been
In a comatose state, and determined to raise the ad
ditional ?SD,OOO required to complete their Acade
my. A meeting for that purpose wa* held last
evening, at which Senator Sloan, president of the
Hudson Hirer Railroad Company, presided. About
$lO,OOO was subscribed on the spot by twelve indi
viduals, and assurance was given that the remain
der would be made up without difficulty. In ad
dition to the auditorium and stage required for the
purposes of the opera, the plan of the building
embraces a large lecture room, which will, of itself,
probably bring on income sufficient to pay the
stockholders a handsome dividend on tceir invest
-1 mem. The men who have the matter in charge
are among the most wealthy and public-spirited in
the city.
The performances at tho recent Democratic State
Convention at Syracuse are exciting ranch merri
ment. Thoro was considerable of the Little P@d-
Hngtod mixed up with the graver basin ess of the
Convention. The tvo prominent actors of the ifo
sart Hall company were, as you will remember, Mr.
Wood, of thla city, and a Mr. JSddy, ofXUg&ra—
ntunes suggestive of the truthfulness pf the old
maxim that politics, after all, is little else than a
lottery, ami that “ Wood, Eddy,’' A 00., of lottery
fame, are the right men to make up the eobemw,
look after the drawing, and attend to such other
details as are incidental to risky business of that
sort.
The Rev. E._H. Chapin, of this city, id to preach
the annaal sermon before the United Stales Con
vention of UniversalUts, to be held in Rochester
on Tuesday next, 20th instant. I hear that the
Convention promises to be one the largest ever
held by that body in this country.
*Tfae General Convention of the Protestant Epis
copal Church, to be held in Richmond, Vu., on the
sth of October next, will comprise an amount of
talent rarely seen in any roligious congress in
America. Tho delegates from the diocese of New
York will be chosen on tbe 23th inst. The diocese,
of Western New York sends, as her lay representa
tives, ox-Goveroor Seymour, ex-Governor Hunt,
Hon. Benjamin Pringle, formerly member of Con
gress from the Thirtieth district, 'of this State, and
tho Hon. Joseph Juliand. Resides the Bishops of
tho American Church, there will be present the
Lord Bfthop of Nova Scotia, and quite likely two
or threo of the Canadian prelates. The sermon
before tbe General Board of Missions will be
preached by the Rev. Dr. Bedell, Bishop elect of
Ohio, on tho Cth, and At tho close of the Conven
tion, tho Bishops elect of Ohio, (Bedell,) New Jer
sey* (Odtaheimer,) Texas, (Gregg,) and Minnesota,
(Whipple.) will bo conseorated to the Episcopate.
Tho movement in regard to the restoration of
Bishop Ondcrdonk, is in such hands, and has
reached that point, that Tender* its successful con
summation almost beyond peradventure.
Madftino Anna who has been singing
with su;h success at Palace Gardens, is a remark
able woman, not only in reference to her art, but
also to her Ilfs and the stock of intelligence she
had occasion to gather. But, perhaps, the most
remarkable feature in her is her present personal
appearance. She looks like a lady of thirty-two, ;
and yet twenty years ago she sang In a concert in
Loudon with Griai, VianJot, Garcia, Pewiani, Ru
bini, Tamburini, and Lablacbe—that I* to say,
with tho greatest ringers who ever live 1, and was
favorably received by the public. Since then she
basseen tho world, andgonethrough a very event
ful career, but always living for her art, and im
proving it. Her method is excellent, her execu
tion the same. She is at home in all styles, and
give* to each its due. As a true artist, she knows
just how far she can go, and she invariably re
mains within the boundaries of her powers ller
voice is, of course, neither fresh nor powerful, but
it still agreeable and pleasing.
