Tremendous Fire in Sandwich Woods.

Cape Cod has had enough Of disaster
by fine the present summer. We have
to record another contingration, more
destructive by far than any with which
we have ye, been visited. 1t broke on,
on Sunday morning last in Sandwich
woods, between the north aud south
Falmouth roads, and ragged with fearful
violence until yesterday, all Efforts to
stop it proving unavalling. The fire,
we learn, comGenced nearly abreast of
Snake Pond village" and about three
miles distant from it, and extended IN n
soulherly direction TO within about two
miles Of Sandwich town. 1t then shifted
ITS course to the south and burnt within
a mile of Falmouth line, when il again
took a norlherly direction. After iravers-
ing a distance OF ten miles, il took an
easierlv direction, passing to the north
ward of where it had been before, eros
sed the South Falmouth road aud extend
ed towards West Barnstable. Some of
The woodland which the fro traversed
was valuable, bat considerable portion,
we understand, was worth but little,
as the wood had been cut oif TO supply
the Glass Factory. Nevertheless the
amount Of property destroyed must be
immense for Cape Cod, aud we have
heard Of instances where the losS has
fallen hardly upon individuals whose en-
tire capital was invested.
The fire originated from stoke o!
lightning. OF this, we believe, there is
no longer any doubt in The minds of those
who have visited the spot where il com
mcnced. The fluid struck n large pine
tree, shaitering il much, and ep,ered the
ground, tearing np The earth n, 's base.
LATER We learn that the fire was
subducd yesterday about noon by The aid
of coplous shower OF rain. II had

The Weather and Crops.

The Greenyille IS. c. Mountaneer
of the S0'h says:
The farmers in this vicinity have near
ly finished harvesting their wheat, aud
"A more bountiiul grain we never saw.
During two or three days Of this week
we have been visited by heavy showers,
and hot, su,ry weather but il is 10 be
hoped that it has not injured the wheat,
whilst other crops have been benefited.
In the county Of Caroline (Na.l and
the neigh5oring counties, the wheat crop
is generally good-,he straw less, the
grain more, and the quality Of the wheat
much better than last season.
The Delaware Journal says many of
the farmers have cut their wheat. The
crop of this grain, we have been inform
ed, will be below an average.
In the vicinity OF Alexandria ID. c.
the harvest has commenced and the
weather is highly favorable. The crop
Of wheat in that section is Of fine quality
