TIE Crops A tour made the FIRST of this week,
through the western part of this County, part of
Lincoln, and Catawba, convinced usthat theblight-
ing effects of the frost we had some ten days since
and the previous and subsequent drought, has been
fatal to the smalfgrain crop. Chance fields of
Wheat such as were backward in their growth,
look tolerabiy well; but the greater number can
barely yield as much as the seed that was sown
upon them. Indeed many fields bear the appear
ance of dead sedge, and look as if they would
burn, if fire were set to them, The crops of Oats
too, look as ifthey would perish and Corn cam
not come up, where it has been planted. No rain
Of any consequence has fallen in this region of
country for near two months. ...,..,-.-
