GREAT STORM AT BIRMINGHAM. —Yesterday
'rning, at 11 o'clock, a severe storm burst over the town
of Birmingham; and the surrounding district. The rain
descended in vast sheets; in many parts of the town the
flooding was immense, and a great amount of damage was
done. Much of the country in the neighbourhood of Tam-
Worth is submerged.
THE HARVEST IN AMERICA.—The New York
Shipping List says :77" The weather is cool and agreeable.
The farmers in all this neighbourhood are busy harvesting,
and a rich harvest it will be. Out west they are doing the
same thing, with like results. Throughout the South the
prospect is not so pleasing, owing to a long and unrelieved
drought in many sections."
