The Rev. Peter Williams, of the African Eps.
copal Church, of st. Philips, by the advice Of
the Right Rev. Bishop Onderdonk, has, in
letter, distinguished for its sincerity, formally
separated himself from the abolition Society.
We are glad to learn, that his church has re-

the country was so much in want of rain,
and unless it should come soon, we believe some
of the oats and barley will be entirely dried up;
they have now more the appearance of stubble
than growing crop in June. We observe the
wheat very much altered for the worse lately
in many situations, but on the whole perhaps
that looks better than might be expected. The
grass is very short everywhere, but few stacks
of hay have been got together in excellent con-
dition, and where the seeds have been cut, the
tswath is very small indeed The sheep in the
weald are shorn, and come out of the wool well,
but few Of the flocks are yet shorn; though the
grass is so short, beast generally speaking, are
| doing well.-Brighton Gazette.
| The dry weather, with frosty mornings, is al
ready affecting the crops. In many places wheat
has lost its luXuriant look, and the oats have
ceased to make perceptible progress. Grass
| for hay, though pretty thick, is rpening at no
length. In Haddington and other markets, the
prices of wheat and oats have considerably adj
vanced; and unless there be copious rains soon,
there is too much reason TO apprenend such a
deficiency in the crop as will raise prices to
such a rate as will admit the importation of TO
reign corn - Glasgow Chronicle

who was rapidly wasting fortune of about
$4,000, which be drew in lottery, went into
house in Chapel street, near Duane, and giving
offence to a woman there, she stabbed him with
