diseases and disasters, may effect the partial in- 

 total destruction of a crop, even when lime is used. 

 But we believe that without lime, or some alkaline 

 substitute, a wheat crop must fail, though with 

 lime it may fail. 



ITEMS OP INTELLIGENCE. 



The Hon. Alexander H. Everett will deliver the 

 Address before the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 

 on the fifth annual celebration, in September. 



Working Men's Convention. A Convention of Farm, 

 ers, Mechanics and Working-men is to be held in Bos- 

 ton, on the 2d day of October. The delegates are re- 

 quested to ascertain facts in regard to the number and 

 amount of mortgages ; whether they have increased with 

 the Hanks, whether held by Bank Directors', Manufac- 

 turers &c.j the number of marriages, compared with 

 former times ; the mortality among the women and chil- 

 dren employed in factories ; the increase or decrease uf 

 land owners ; the greater or less degree of equality in 

 society. 



the Season. The Detroit Journal of the 24th ult. 

 says that " the prospects for the latter harvest are most 

 cheering. We do not remember to have seen corn or 

 potatoes show a more healthful and luxuriant appear- 

 ance at any former season. The same may be said of 

 every species of vegetable." 



The New Haven Herald observes," The season around 

 us is said to be the finest that has occurred for many 

 years. The early crops of hay, grain, oats, and vegeta- 

 bles are unusually productive ; the orchards are loaded 

 with fruit ; and the minor wild fruits, the various ber- 

 ries which abound in our fields and woods, are prolific 

 beyond measure." 



The Rochester, N. Y. Advertiser, states that " the 

 wheat harvest is commenced, and never do we recollect 

 to have seen more abundant crops, either as to quantity 

 or quality. Grass and oats are very good, and corn, 

 notwithstanding the backwardness of the season, bids 

 fair to do well. 



The New Hampshire Telegraph says, ''The crops in this 

 vicinity, though a little backward, do look beautifully. " 

 The Spectator, of Newport, N.H. of the 10th in3t. states, 

 that •' List Saturday morning the mercury stood at 3!' 

 degrees at sun rise, there was quite a heavy frost, and 

 some corn was injured considerably. It was rather 

 amusing than otherwise, to see the farmers mowing in 

 their meadows with their coats on, and like old Grimes 



'All buttoned down befoie.' 

 And at the end of every swath they were under the ne- 

 cessity of stopping and blowing their hands to warm 

 them."
