      Manitouwaning, Oct 20. The crops in this locality have been remarkably good this season. Wheat is turning out from 25 to 40 bushels per acres. some of the farmers who have already threshed will be interesting to your readers: Mr. Herny Vanzant, formerly of Collingwood, had a field of Egyptian wheat which turned out 40 bushels to the acre; there are others too numbs to mention who have obtained from 25 to 30 bushels per acres. There are now 2 threshing machines busily engaged threshing out.

Received last Monday with regard to Lot 19 Con 4, Sheguiandah & beg to report as follows after examination & careful inquiries from a reliable person wholes in the neighborhood, nearly half the lot is base rock, the balance is shallow with about 6 or 8 inches of soil on it. It has been robbed of nearly all the timer there is about 10 acres cleared & was fenced but the fence has been taken away by some person 7 is common it has not been occupied for a number of years. There is no standing timer on it except poplar, therefore it is not very valuable, Yours truly, Sam W North, Forest Bailiff.
