THE SEAsoN.--After an unusual dark, wet
and gloomy May, in which, as an observing pat
ron in Windsor County writes US, there were "a
rainy days. June, sweet June, has burst upon
us in all its genial warmth, sunshine and leafy
glores. But while the face of nature in New
England, and especially among our own green
hills, never looked more fresh and verdant a
large portion of the great West is suffering
from drought of almost unexampled severity.
In Michigan, says late paper, there has been
no rain for 40 days; while Ohio, Indiana and
lllenois, are more or less suffering Fl ON the same
cause, and great dimuniion of the wheat crop,
as well as othe products, is confidently predict
cd In consequence. There is a complete rever-
sal of the seasons Of last summer in the two
sections, ours having then been extremely dry,
and theirs moist and fruitful and what is wo thy
of note, is that Western New York then, as
now, appears to be the dividing line between
these strikingly contrasted seasons

our western exchanges, with considerable inter

where assumed an epidemic form. Let us then
hope to be spared from a second visitation of
the maladey, especially in this region, where
the air was never mole soft pure and healthy
giving.
DANDIES DANDIsETTs &c--We scarcely take
up paper, but we see some slant, some wits
clsm, Or some anecdote got up in ridicule of
Dandles, and Dandiesetts, as we believe they
call the feminine of this class of animals Why
should this be? What more harmless than The
whole OF this prosecuted race? They, poor
creatures, have no other way to EXCISE the it,
stlnctive love of appreciation which more or less
actuates all, but through dress and personal ap
pealance; and because nature has denied them
brains, does it follow that they should be denied
this harmless qualification also? Do we laugh
at the gilded butterfly with its less than infn-
tesslmal Intelligence, any more than at the prov
ldentbe e? Each and all have their allotted plac-
es in the scale of existence--the snowy insect
to ornament our fields and gardens-the dandy
to ornament our streets aud parlors. Both for
ought we know, they well fulfil the purposes of
their creation; and we see not why it is not as
unreasonable in us to expect any intellectual de-
monstrations in the one as in the other. Then
why treat them so? 1t is mean, it is shameful,
absolutely shameful.
ANOTHER GREAT BANK RoBBERY..-.The
Connecticut River Bank, at Charleston, N. H.,
was entered on Tuesday night and robbed of
81 ,760-viz $4,000 dollars in gold coin, most
ly American; $1,000 in silver; $500 in bills
Of the Connecticut River bank $500 in bills of
the Claremont Bank and $3.50 in bills of 9TH
er banks. The robbery was accomplished in the
same manner as that Of the Dorchester and Mil.
ton Bank The door of the Banking room was
opened by false keys, as was also the outer door
of the safe. The directors Of the robbed insti-
tuition offer $1,000 reward for the detection and
conviction of the thieves and the recovery of
the property and half that sum for either the
conviction of the robbers or restoration of the
money.
THE DROUGHT AT THE South AND WEST
In addition 10 the gloomy stories of injury TO
the wheat crop of the West, thro' the drought of
this season, we have extremely bad accounts of
the tobacco crop of Kentucky from the same
cause The Louisville Courier of the 9TH
states, that the prevailing dry weather has prov
ed very disastrous to young plants all over the
state, or at least within a range of 200 miles,
"The backwardness of the season greatly re-
tarded planters, and in many of the richest sec.
tons Of the state the planting had not even com.
menced ten days ago, where at the same time
last season the planting was nearly all over"
SOUTHERN RETALIATIoN.-A writer in the
Charleston Mercury proposes as a remedy for
" Northern aggressions," that the cotton planters
and factors shall determine that the introduction
Of the question Of slavery into either Hall Of
Congress shall be the signal for closing our cot
ton market to all northern agents. He says the
measure should originate in New Orleans, and
the other ports will follow-and planters should
take care to employ those factors only who are
either southern men, or who give unequivoca
indications of Southern ieelIng--.a he recon-
mends that Committees of Vigilance be organ.
