At tho time harvesting commenced it was es timated the yield per acre from tbe en tire tract would not be less than twenty bushels to the acre. Grasshoppers had done but little damage, the excessive hot weather came too late to blast the crop, and everybody who saw the waving grain pronounced big wheat farming on the JNorth l'acine aeuccess. The farm on which this crop was grown consists of 30.000 acres, on which next season IKXX) acres will be sown to wheat, the sod ot it having been broken this season. During-the breaking season Mr. Dalrymple bad as high as one hun dred teams at work.

A .correspondent of thi L indou Standard, writing from the Turkih army, nays: "The officers on their way to Nisn at the first cannon-shot return ed to their regiments, but I was detain ed by a sight, which even in the midst of this sanguinary fight, deserves to bt recorded. "Among the drivers win bring provisions to the camp in cart! drawn by oxen, to return the nejtt "day with the woupJed to Nis'h, was a younji; Bulgarian girl, about fourteen years o!i, driving a pair of buffaloes. Along lhi road traversed by the girl thousands oC llasbi-Daxouks daily po-, and it lead h through the midst of at least S0,00 soldiers. The girl appeanl iu the cani instead of her father, who, she told me. waa ill, but did not wish to loso In share of the rich harvest which the war bring, and although many of the ol diers cast stolen glaucea at the unwont ed apparition, and perhaps reckoned up the time since they had last ecn a wo man, lh girl passed uninjured, and, without Uie slightest fear, through tho midst of their ranks." .
