THE INTERESTING SEASON.

The drought which had been felt in
several parts of the country, and Partieu-
larly in this vicinity, and which for some
DAYS filled the hearts of the hnsbandmen
with bo, ings of scanty harvest, was re-
moved by copious rains in the nights of
D.. Saturday and Monday last; and notes of
,thankfulness have succeeded to those of
sorrow. IndiaR corn is an important
crop to almost every farmer in New Eng
land. Within few days its original
green WAS changing to sickly yellow,
and its Stamina disappearing; but the rams
have restored its healthy hue and vigor,
and given .resh promises of abundance:
The garden vegetables are superabundant
and cheap The fields Of rye, barley, and
oats, are also heavy, and free of smut or
worm. Few can recolleet the season
when potatoes were of larger growth, or
of better quality, The quantity of this
nutritious article appears to increase an
nual!y. Apples in some districts were
cut off By the heavy rains which fell when
the trees were in blossom: but in other
districts, where the bloom was later, the
trees are loaded with fruit. The same
eemar.s applies to the winter pear trees.

pRAYroy's MEMOIRS.


Among other extracts made from this work
and published in the Charlie ston Courier We
have selected the following.
The proceedings a Charleston 10 resist the
operations Of the Stamp Act are very inter
esting The commons house OF assembly,
having been assured OF the arrival Of the
stramp act from Great Britain, endeavored
10 prevent il from being enforced BY denying
il official PRONUNCIATION. This furnishes ad-
di,iopaI evidence that the colonist .resorted

tually tried every mode OF redress. But fate

of the Province being by tue terms OF tie
act sworn to its due execuion( but bis pow
ers at that time were insufficient 10 efeciu-
ate the same.
Encou' aged by this weakness, and by the
public opinion which was hostile TO the act,
the members OF the assembly deliberated IN
what manner they might most enbarrass aud
elude its operations. And as the best mode
they could devise they addressed the lleu-
tenant governor on the occasion, requesting
TO be informed whether the stamp act, said
to have been passed 10 parliament, had been
transmitted to him, and it IT had, through
wha, channel; and whether he had received
it from the Secretary OF State, the Lords OF
Trade. or from any Other authentic source!
These were questions OF singular nature;
however, his honor from desire 10 soften
as much as possible tie lamentations which
existed, answered, he had received il from
Thomas Boone, the Governor Of the PIo-
vince. The Assembly rel !;rtl hat While
Mr.. Boone was out Of The bounds. OF his 60
yernnent. they could not consider HIM in
any other hight, than as private gentle an;
and the &C, being received through such a
channel, was not sufficiently authentic, to
place the Lieutenant Governor under the
obi CATION OF enforcing IL.
The Stamps soon reached Charleston, al!
were deposited al Fort Johnson. The peo-
pie finding the lieutenant governor d crown

solved to coun,eract all their movements,
