AX onto INAL WEEKLY' 
RURAL, LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, 
“Remarkable Produelion of Wheat.” savs n 
corroepondent of the Rural in Hanover Co., 
Vu., who writes : “ A jtcutloman in t his county 
flowed two hushed?, «>f wheat on a small patch of 
ground, and cut atnl thrashed one hundred and 
one bushels. The grower's name is Knuckles.” 
The ” remarkable" may be better appreciated 
by our readers when they know the size of “a 
small patch otgrinmd,” and whether the wheat 
was drilled in or sown broadcast.

From June 1st until August we had ruin in al¬ 
most any quantity. April and May were lino 
months here lor the farmer. Grainsof all kinds 
were got 111 in good condition, and all except 
corn have grown finely. liny anil wheat have 
boon secured in good condition. Both are large 
crops. Oats are extra line. Potatoes promise to 
bo a large crop. The peach crop will prohaedy 
be larger than for many years past. With con¬ 
tinued fair weather, corn will yet be a good 
crop.— H. A. B.

lar season so far. Jtuin almost, every day ; very 
different from last summer, when it was very 
dry at this time. It lats been very difficult to 
secure hay. A good deal of the wheat starting 
to grow in shock. Wheal is considerably shrun¬ 
ken where it grew' large and lodged. Barley 
will be a large yield, but. will lie dark. Oats are 
just getting ripe, and are the best ever known 
here. Feas are loading well, but there are two 
bugs to almost every pen. Potatoes are coming 
on lino, but there are some signs of the rot. 
Hops are full of blossoms, but I fear will be late 
in ripening. Peach trees are loaded, but apples 
are scarce. 1 *. a.

No hut tor iti Little Falls innrket this week. 
AVe have advices from abroad to tho last week 
in July. 
Our Liverpool correspondent says:—AVo com¬ 
menced t he season with very small, if not un¬ 
precedented light stocks, and at higher prices 
t han have ever Been known since 1846, when Sir 
Rouf.et Pi'.iiL brought in and passed his large 
and comprehensive Free Trade Dili, and only in 
time of war previous to that date; but 11 s might 
have been anticipated, the extreme prices to 
which we had 11 Gained caused farmers, both in 
Europe and America, to push forward their 
cheese and compete for these high prices; and 
the consequence is, we have had a larger supply 
than was ever known up to this date, which has 
caused a lull ol fully 20 shillings per rwt., and 
prices have again given way ones shilling upon 
the week; hut we arc much steadier at the de¬ 
cline, and,as wnanl ieipated, tho moderate prices 
at which we have arrived have stimulated a con¬ 
sumptive demand which has rarely, if ever, Been 
equaled; so that notwupstanding our arrivals 
being largo, they are not excessive at their 
prices, particularly if tho present dry weather 
should conlintio much longer. 
AYo give Liverpool quotations as follows: 
Firm factory 61 to 63s. per cwt.; very good, 58 to 
60s. Imports into Liverpool, from June 1st to 
July 180,802Boxes, For same time Inst, year, 
1 10,510 boxes. Total exports from New York to 
Great Britain, from May 15th to July 10th, K» 7 ,- 
458 boxes. 
The general feeling at Little Falls, and in the 
country, is that prices will now continue to im¬ 
prove, as the make lias gone off freely, and fac¬ 
tories are now pretty
