thittbe l last and most important item of intelligence
; have to communicate is the fact of one of the
Nvetili.ll"
!st falls of rain having occurred over India
til has been experienced for years back. You
us-,
" recollect that we never can have too much
the store when it comes at the proper season ; when
proroPortion to the wetness of rainy season is the
f,.lativeness of the dry. We may, therefore, look
Card to a year of peace and plenty. For fourteen
ttijhs, Past it has here poured down in an uninter-
are'''ed torrent; the tanks, wells, ditches, and canals
441411 full, and we begin now to feel anxious for a
a fair weather to allow the husbandman to re-
