The Crops.

The late Spring and cold weather induced
many f'uriners, both in our own and in other
States, to believe that the crops the present
year would be meagre, and insuilicicut to
supply the home demand, but we are gratified
to be able to state that such fears are with
out foundation, and that the yield of all
kinds of produce the present season, will be
such as the most sanguine could wish. In our
own State" the cold rains threw a damper on
corn and other grain, and. for a time, the
wise ones predicted a total failure, but,
thanks to kind Nature and the genial rays of
the sun,tlicse cereals, are now in the full
vigor of their ripening development, and pre-
sent a very tlirifty appearance. In fact, we
think,we have never seen crops in a better
condition than now, nor have we ever wit-
ucsacd a better prospect for a. plentiful sup-
ply ot fruit. Strawberries, our-rants, mid
raspberries have graced the tables of our cit-
izens iu greater profusion than ever before,
and laughed hugely over the pleasure they
have imparted to epicures, and to the little
ones. Hay is being reaped in abundance.-
Gardeu vegetables have put on the dignity
of uabobs, and strut into our kitchen with a
self-importance truly amusing. As :2 natural

result, our farmers, inspired with the pros-

pect of a. good yield, are in fine spirits, and
are preparing to bring to market the products
of their unremitting toil. That they may
reap a crop of golden dollars, is the sincere
wish of all who know how to appreciate
those who are developing the soil, and there-
by enriching the resources. and enhancing
the true dross of our country.

The Crops in the West.

We learn from a friend who has traveled in
Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio,
i\licliigan,and Indiana, that the crops in all
those States are in good condition. Fears
were entertained, early in the Spriu.-, that in
consequence of the backwardness of the sea-
son, all the solid products would fail, but a
change has come o’cr the spirit of their
dream,anl farmers are much elated. The
wheat crop in Michigan will be largc——tlie
corn crop in Ohio bids fair to be equal to
former years, while oats. and other grains, in
the States we have enumerated, present a
healthy appearance. In illinuesota, the Grass.
hdppcrs have partially destroyed the crops in
the Northern counties, but we are glad to
learn that many of them have died, and that
the remainder are preparing to leave.

At the South, the constant rains give the
crops a stunted appearance Neither corn or
potatoes look as well as at the West. So says
our friend, who has recently traveled in the
South. » Still, should the season he a propi-
tious one, the crops at the South will by no
means be poor. It affords us pleasure to be
able to communicate these facts to our read-
ers’, as just in proportion as our farmers are
successful in the production of their crops,
just in like proportion will the country be-
come prosperous. This is particularly true of
the West, where, we regret to say, the mer-
chants have been dilatory in the payment, of
their notes. Good crops willenable them to
pay up, and to maintain their hitherto good
characters for promptncss in the liquidation
of their debts. Success to the f'-.irmers'

Pnusox.ii..—We were made exceedingly
happy on Friday evening last, by a °‘ surprise
visit” from our dear,dear old friend and early
familiar, T. M. Nmvsox, EsQ., of the St. Paul
Daily Times, and his lovely and accomplished
Bride. Our friend “ To_mmy” had spent so
much moi'e time in wooing the muses than the
ladies, and in driving the quill rather than
matrimony, that we had nearly given him over
to the “uiicovencntcd mercies” prepared for
the——old bachelor. Al; best, we had suppo-
sed him so iii love with everything western
that if he ever won a “ bonnie bride-" itwould
be some wolverine Buckeye or Hoosier lass.
but, “sensible to the last,” he has come East
to secure his highest earthly joy.

Mr. Newson is a genuine specimen of a self-
made, New England man, and well may we
feel proud of our representative at the head-
waters ofthe great Mississippi. With a cul-
tivated mind, pleasing, winning manners, an
uutii-iiig industry and rcsistless energy which
knows no defeat and brooks no dimcullies, he
unites a warm, genial, good and pure heart,
continually gushing out with eunobliug aspi-
rations, and as such he has marched upward
and right onward to enviable position, com-
mandiug influence and comparative aflluence.
We nevci grasp his over open, honest hand,
and feel his electric grip.without involuntari-
ly excl:iiming,—“ behold the noblest work ”
’Mid lhcjoys of his honeymoon and the long
lil'c and u-cfulness which we trust is before
him, " May Heaven and all holy stars shed
upon the happy pair their sclectest influence.”

Oawego Starch.

We received some days since from our old
friend, John Austen, Esq., formerly of the
Norwalk Daguerrian Gallery, but now of the
monster Oswego Starch-Company, a box of
their Corn Starch, prepared and refined in
the highest degree for jellies, puddings, &c.
It is certainly a most beautiful article, and
must be highly nutritious. Mr. Austen isa
step-son of T. Xingslord, Esq., and having
now become one of the business family also,
we trust the road to wealth is now open be-
fore him. We give below a description of
their works, taken f'rom the proof-sheets of
the forthcoming Directory of Oswego: .

The Oswego Staeh Factory is the cor-
porate name of the company. They
erected their building in the city of Os-
wcgo (I"i1‘lllg the year 1848, and have
continued enlarging every year since.—
The entire front of the bulidings is now
510 feet wide and 5 stories high, extend-
ing back over the river 250 feet, which,
with the recently erected engine-liouse,
and other buildings, cover an area of 168,-
000 feet, aiid is capable of manufacturing
from 12 to 14 million pound per year, and
consuming some 600,000 or 700,000
bushels of corn for the purpose. The iii-
terior of the building is lighted by 158
large sky-lights. The machinery is pro-
pelled by water power and a steam cu-
giue of 160'horse power, and their hy-
drants are so coustucted that in case of a
fire, by coupling on the hose, they can
throw ov_er the highest part of their build-
ing, 18 streams of water at once, at the
same time, issuing from as many difl'erent
branch pipes of one inch bore. Connect-
ed with their hydraulics, they have‘ over
5000 feet of water pipe, which is con-
veyed in all directions through the ini-
mense buildings, for the purpose of con-
veying pure water (that has been thor-
oughly filtered) into their different vats
or cisterns. The whole nmnber of vats,
square or round, is 630 ; some of them
very large, and although they are ca-
pable of cou‘taining 2,400,000 gallons
of water, for the purpose of purifying and
refining the starch. ’.l‘licy give employ-
ment to some 400 men. .

In comiection with this, they have a
very large Box Factory, which which is
propelled by a Steam Engine of 80 horse
power, and make yearly for the purpose
of packing their Starch, 400,000 Boxes

 

 

parties for different purposes. In the
Box Factory they have one of Beardsley’s,
as well as \Voodworth’s largest planers
and matchers ; also Daniel’s planer, be-
sides a iuiinber of splitting saws; and
consume annually upwards of one million
and a half feet of basswood, and seventy-
fivc tons of nails used annually for Box-
es, and give employment to 40 mechan-
ics; this fax exceeds in facility and size
any other Starch‘Factory in the world.
In factit is a mammoth concern, and no
one, unless they have an opportunity of
viewing it, can have any just conception
of its magnitude.

The great purity of the article has brought
it into notice with coniiiiereia.l men
throughout the States; and the conse-
qiieiice is, they are not able to supply the
demand for it, although their immense es-
tablishment has been kept in full opera-
tion, night and day, ever since the com-
This demand for their
‘Starch, we have been credibly informed,

is not for the want of a supply in the
Starch market, for that has been over-
stocked the wliole season, (and from time

to time large quantities thrown upon the
market at auction at reduced prices,) but

it arises wholly from its intrinsic merit‘.

From the great Exhibition of All Nations,

a.t London, it received the Prize Medal ;

from the American Institute in the city

of New York, the Prize Medal ; from

the N ew-York State ricultual Society,

the Gold and Silver lir edals ; from Bos-

ton, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Men-

treal (C, E.), the First Premium ; and it

decided preference over all other Starch,

- or short.

Since the late collision lictwecn the
two factions kuowii as the “Dead Bab-
biis” and Bowery Boys on the nights of
the 4th and 5th, our city has been ini-
usiially quiet until within a few days
back when the German population of‘ the
Seventeenth \Vard, taking example froui

' their neighbors of the Sixth, commenced

a regulai' rough and tumble fight among
themselves, blockading the streets, dani-
aging property, and with one voice ex-
pressing an ardent desire to give the
whole hletropolitan police force a thorough
drubbing. A large number of the old
police were visible during the row, atua.l-
ly engaged in stiriring up the already ex-
cited crowd to further dcpredations, all
without doubt under the supervision and
guidance of their darling Fernando \Vood,
as he is afl'ectioiiatcly called—our model
Mayor, must feel highly delighted at
these demonstrations of attacliment from
his friends and of the Sixth and Seven-
teenth precincts, who will surely do good
service for him in the next election. Mr-
\Vood had the extreme pleasure (we
have no doubt) of addressing a party of
the Nincteentli ward Dead Rabbits not
long since, who on not appearing at the
appointed hour in Haniiltoii Square‘the
plaace of meeting, kindly sent a carriage
to his residence to convey him there. On
arriving at the spot and after making a
soincwhatleiigtliy speech, in which he
stated that he had a bad cold, he tliank-
ed those assembled for the honor they
had 'done him in inviting him to be pres-
ent on the occasion, and for the stand
they had taken in defending the city
against aggression, and concluded by re-
conimendiiig all present to submit to the
law. Mr. \Vood then retired amid loud
cheers, and was conveyed home again by
his kind friends. The trouble in the 17th
ward, having subsided, we shall wait
patiently for the next disturbance.

Onr city is being rapidly deserted for

Others possessing ample funds

the general plea for so doing being ill-

to recover it, is to rush to England, and
pass the summer and fall in the fogg ,
unliealthy-streets of London. This mania
for visiting foreign parts, brings to mind
the verse that runs.

Mrs, Bill is very ’ill
And nothing can restore her

Until she sees the Tuilleries
And waddles through the Louvre.

The poorer class of our community,
who are not in possession of the pewter,
as an aiitidote’for their disappointment,
take the opportunity each Sunday of
visiting Hobokcii, Elysian Fields, and
other spots in the viiiciiiity. These
places are crowded to their utmost on the
day of rest, and great is the coiisuuiption
of lager thereof. Every luxury can be
obtained from a rotten orange to a penny
glass of ice cream at these resorts. In
Yorkville an honest Dutchman keeps a
restnrant in which according to the sign
snspeiidcd outside “ Kakc, Krackers and
Pys, can be obtained within. Our church-
es are not very largely patronized on the

@‘**'1‘he doings at the Cambridge Com-
mencement, last week, seem to have been
of great interest. The oration before the
Alumni was delivered by Hon. Edward
Everett, and this was followed by the din-
ner, at which, fclieitous addresses were
made by R. C. VVinthrop, L. Motley,
(the Historian,) President Kiifg, Josiah
Quincy and others.

iVIr. Winthrop introduced Lord Napier
(the British Miiiister,) who delighted the
Cambridge men with a very liaudsonic
and complimentary address. Anioiig
other things he said :

“ Old Cambridge in England ought to
have sent to young Cambridge in Ameri-

aui not furnished with credentials from
the Courts of Lea ':iing ; yet in these
courts I passed the most agreeable period
of my life, and if I had been a faithful in-
stead of a vagrant son, I could not bear
a warmer affection to the good academic
mother, so bountiful and so forgiving, so
prodigal of Bl‘iC0lll‘£lg'Cl'll-'-_‘lll3, and so patient
of neglect. In consequence of this con-
nection, however transitory und undistiii-
guished, I can now revive the recollec-
tions of Trinity in the halls of Harvard,
and mingle a grateful memory of a VVlie-
well and a Scdgwick with the satisfaction
which I feel in being presented to this so-
ciety, a society which is dignified by the
pen of a Prescott, by the voice of an Ev-
erett, by the muse of a Longfellow, and
which deplores the incomparable pencil of
an Allston. [Applause]

The New York Troubles.
The Z\'eu- l.'m-.1: Times gives the follow-

'|‘li_e Mayor on \\'eduesday signed the
resolutioii of the Common Council direct-
ing the station-liouses and police proper-
ty to be ti-aiisf'crterl to the Metropolitan
Coiniiiissioiiers. Ile also ordered his late
captains to deliver up the station houses,
which was done with one or two except-
ions. Siiperiutcndent Tallmadge direct-
ed the captains and sergeants under his
care to take possession of the same. This
trick of. the mayor keeping the Metropoli-
tan Commissioners out of the station
houses so long, will cost the city a pretty
penny for such little items as house rent and '
general fixing up. The man is moderate
indeed, who estimates it less than $15,000
or $20,000.

On Wednesday the Comptroller paid

wards, and took a receipt in full of all ,

claims and demands.
burscd was not far from $25,000. He
