RAYMOND. A Careful Crop Review—Marked Cost* tract. RAYMOND, 8TEABNS Co., MINN, July 30th, 1870. EDITOR JOUBBAL.—I promised, not long since, some items for THB JOUBBAL in re gard to the crops in this seolion, but with the mercury up among the nineties. I find myself wasting away and promises in* dined in the same direotion. The barley orop has been gathered, and indicates a good yield. I put the reaper to work in my wheat en the 20th inst., and am a ned that it also will turn out a fair yield" My neighbor, Richardson, started a thresh ing machine last week. We threshed tbe wheat from 75 rods of ground, and the product was 16 bushels. This perhaps was more than an average, but I am in cbned to think that the crop in this section will average 20 bushels per sere. Oats I hardly think will be up to the average yield, but oorn is fairly outdoing it self. If nothing unusual occurs there must be a bountiful crop. If some of those verdant chaps down East who believe that Minnesota in too cold o- corn were up here about these days and witnessed tbe rapid growth of maize and regetables, they would be fully satisfied that the "oawn" question is settled as far as Minnesota is concerned The potato crop will be rather short, though there ib at present a skedaddling of the bugs from some cause, and it is possible that potatoes may yet be a fair crop. I am inclined to think the bugs have given up the contest as useless, owing to the rapidity with which the vines grow in our fertile soil The hay orop is largo, and what has been out is put up in splendid order. On the whole, I believe we are highly rewarded for our labors. And what a change four years have Wrought here! Then, not a habitation nor an acre of land under oultivation now, over fifty houses in sight of the writer, and hundreds of acres of grain failing before the siokles of over a dozen reapers. Yours truly, L. B. BAYMOND. MONONGALIA COUNTL Political Fracas—Man Killed NEW LONDON, MINN, 1 Aug 4th, 1870.

The rise in the price of gold has thus far prevented the return of our bonds, which has been so much and so unwisely dreaded, and no serious derangement in consequence seems now to be apprehended. As the war ad vances they believe that European in vestors will gradually come to regard with more and more favor the obliga tions ot the only strong Government whose finances are in a healthy condi tion, and whose situation is such that there is no possibility of its being drawn into the contest.

We see that the American Shuttle Sewing Machine Compa ny, of Detroit, are first in the field with a machine embodying all the best features of the more costly article, and while their machines are in every particular, as per fect in their adaption to all classes of work as the Wheeler & Wilson, Grever & Baker, and Singer, they are now disposing of them at prices ranging from $25 to $40.
