DRUUGHr AND CROPs.

out lower Virginia since the frat week in March,

States. We observe in various papers in Caro-

The wheat crops ia tho James River country
above Underwater have been damaged seriously BY
the fros, and the dry weather. Great complaints
too have reached US in respect to the Tobacco
plants. Many planters indulge the apprehension
that the injury is irrepamble, and that, under the
most favorable circumstances, not moro than hall
an average crop can be reasonably anticipated.
We had refreshing showers in this city Sunday

they were needed, si, ..ea
