CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Inc Ueathsr. During the whole of the
last month we have had continuous spell OF
damp and rainy weather, such as has not been
equalIed for years according to the recollection
Of that most respectable citzen-the Oldest in
habitant. June for several years past has been
about the hottest month of the season, but it
would seem now that the "cIerk of the weather
Office" has made most woeful mistake in his
reckoning. 1t can not be other than seriously
detrimental to the wheat and rye crops the
great proportion Of which are now ready for
the sickle, and although it may benefit the
corn and oats, and vegetables, for the time be-
ing, the probability is that we shall have
spell of dry weather, which will iniure more
than the present has made. During the whole
of yesterday, it rained without inermission,
with but little prospect of clear up.

PLAID, whose body was found floating in the riv-
er near Canton, on Sunday, as mentioned in
yesterday IS paper, worked for Mr. Rhinehart, in

Thursday, and consequently could not.have been
in the water more than three DAYS, 1t is sup
posed that he drowned himself in fit of mem
tai alteration, which he was subject to. He
was good workman, and was at work at Mr.
Rhinehart's on Thursday morning,
