Complaints are made by the farmers In !nis v,cl-
pity Of the absence of rain. In some dry situations,
vegetation suffering severely from this cause.
6ne shower came up this morning, but unioItu-
nately lasted only about twenty minutes, neverthe-
lese il doubtless did much good. We learn from
she interior OF New Hampshire, that the weather
has been exceedingly warm for week or two
past, and but little rain has fallen tor some time
Those pests to the hortculturst, rose bugs, have
made their appearance IN some localities, and COM
menced their work OF destruction upon the tender
leaves Of rose bushes and young fruit trees. They

Gays I'm about two weeks time our valley harvest

pretty fair crop will be made throughout, nOtwith-

Our accounts from the interior are by no means
more cheering.
The Pautucket Or. ~ Gazette, of the ed inst.
says:-The buttonwoods look worse this season
than ever, and we fear these once noble trees will
become extinct. They show but the fanest signs
OF life. About year and half ago, the top Of
butionwood, In the rear of our office, was cut off,
and year ago the past spring shoots pat ont from
the trunk. grew several feet, and appeared perfectly
healthy through the season. The past spring they
started again, but blight soon assaied them, and
they now look as If a fire had passed through the
branches.

Rampant street. in which we boated couple of

cross streets in, the First Municipality, the late

Der ready for removal The season of yachts and
yachting Is over. Canoes are at discount, and
shifts may be had dog cheap. We think these are
