NOWLAN in a letter to the publisher of the 'Journal,' from Keohan, Kings County, N.B., Canada, under date of Aug. 18th, writes: "This county is now commencing to harvest wheat, oats and buckwheat, which are the staple farm crops. Haying is just over, with considerable shortage all over the Province, owing to excessive drought in June; but other crops will be an average. All root crops will be good. It reminds me of February out there, as it is now raining. I often get California-sick and, no doubt, some day I will "wander back again," as there is no place like the home of my adoption -- the Golden West, the land of sunshine and of flowers -- and especially Kings County, to me. I am enjoying good health," etc. ------------------------------------------------------ LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -Mrs. S.M.
