sshopper crop of 1875 was the largest ever harvested,although no special effort was made on the part of agriculturists torender it a champion crop. Owing to the fine weather in May and June, the potato-bug crop turnedout much better than was anticipated. Many farmers who didnt expectto raise a single bug harvested millions of them. It is confidentlyexpected that there will be any quantity of bugs, for foreign shipment,after the home market has been supplied. The fishing season opened beautifully, and continued fine throughoutthe season. Over twenty men were noticed going around the corner witha rock-bass on a string. The area devoted to the cultivation of the cotcon-worm was not solarge as in 1874, but every planters want has been fully supplied, andthere is no grumbling about a scarcity. There hasnt been a great many whirlwinds or tornadoes, owing to thebackward season ; but those maturing w-ere of good size, headed ^outwell, and will supply the market through the winter. THE STOCKS.
