ans vegetation suffers, together with animal life
For the three seasons last before this, have not
wanted in salubrity of atmosphere. Nor have the
plants suffered for want Of rain. Nor has boating
been detained by lowness Of water. We set down
the present condition of things exception to the

particular locality, for have not heard Of sickness
in any other parts Of the Territory.

The mail Of Wednesday is wanting. 1t won't do to
give commerce up We suspect that the real
cause OF this delay in arrivals, is in demand Of ex-
orbitan prices of ies h.s, that shippers will not
load the boats There is a doubt that boats can
come, AID all things beside the lowness of water
