I have just returned from a fishing exclusion in the mountains about Mary's river.in Henton county, where I caught some excellent speckled trout. Along through Henton I ob served tho crops are looking excel lent all along the road. I think wo will have an abilndant harvest this season. Tho orchards on tho high ground look well, Whilo tho trees on ttic level prairio seem blighted and half-dead. T think the reason tho trees on tho hills thrive best, is bo caiisotho roots nro high and dry dur ing tho winter, and aro thus preserved from rotting. 1 thinU wo will have to ndopt undcr-d raining, on level land?,1 if wo wish, to raise healthy, Jong-lived fruit-trees. .;..
