Tpr SeAsoN-RAlNs, &c.-From the unus-
ua,ly early opening Of the present spring. we
anticipated for our farmers very favorable
season for the products Of the soil, but, the
frequent rains with which we have been visit
I'd ever since the season for planting arrived,
has greatly blasted our hopes, and aroused our
fears. Rains have been so frequent that at
but few periods of time have the tillable lands
Of our farmers been sufficiently dry for plan'-
ing, and many that puts,her seeds into the
ground in due season. have found to their great
loss and injury, that they have there rotted,
rendering a re-plant necessary to insure the
least proepec, of a crop. On high and rolling
farms, the corn crops, we are told, looks ,oe'-
able fair, but on such as lay low or level, the
prospect of the corn crop is gloomy. The
wheat crop we learn however, looks very fair,
and the quantity of land SO planted being large,
our farmers need no. yet despair Of valuable
return from their lands. We have never wit.
messed so much rain in any season, and we
hear from the south and east that in those
quarters too, the quantity of rain has been un'
usually great with them, and equally injuri
Gus TO the farming interest. Our "new com
ers" should not Judge Of cur country by the
presen, season, and suffer themselves to fea'
frequent return of such seasons.
