The rain so long desired has at length crowned
the exertions and the wishes of the farmer, by pre-
paring the lands for the plough, and will have a
twist desirable effect upon the turnip crops. Many
glaz.ers, and even farmers, had already bets" coin-
pelted to feed their stock with their winter's stover;
but there is every reason to suppose, that the rains
of Saturday and Sunday will speedily restore the
fertility of the pastures, and diminish the present
excessive demand for the scarce crop of hay, by
shortening the period for which it would have been
an eagerly ri quired.

A large supply of onions have recently arrived
