TUE WEATHER AND CROPS.

Last month will be remembered as the hot June.
The thermometer for the greater portion Of the
month, ranged from eighty to ninety-three; there
was but little rain and more wind inland tl.an we
have experienced at any time during the summer
months. The crops of all kinds have, of course,
suffered materially. The prospect is that corn will
advance in price.
We had, on Sunday evening last, light rain.
From the direction and appearance of the clouds,
it is more than probable that there were heavy
rains to the North and South of this place. We
also had on Monday quite Il heavy rain, which has
revived vegetation and must have most beneficial
influence on the crops.
