We have had two or three days of fine weather,

with every appear- ance of its continuing; and, in consequence, reaping is very general to day (Monday) immediately around u, whilst every rood of grain throughout the country is cut down, as soon as . it is ready for the sickle. We regret, however, to cast any thing like a gloom upon the general prospect of the splendid harvest ; but we are compelled to say, our adviees from some of the late districts in this county (Antrim) represent the harvest as still more backward than we were led to believe some days since that it would be ; and we fear that in those districts the general harvest is still two or three weeks distaut.—Belfast Whig, September 8.

There are at present two gentlemen, occupying a reepecteale position in the county of Galway, -who are so strikingly Atoilar in their appear- ance, that frequently most ludieroue mistakes hav:t occurred front the inability of their intimate acquaiotances to distinguish one gentleman Irons the other. As this fact is now notorious in the county, and good- humouredly enjoyed by the partiee them selves, who are on terms of the closest friendship, and who not unfrequently play off jokes at the ex- of each other, there can be nothing ueseesonable in mentioning their names—viz. Mr. Bei:mini OTlaherly of Liedone, and Mr. Robert Bodkiu of Annangh. 1eela.et is their resemblance as to height, figure, complexion, and dreee. tire the brother of one gentleman has been known to declare he coe '... aistinanieh between them, had not his retail an apec:dier rOtnort- ,p:1 about his ore which the other had not.
