tiers which came to were laid asidc, as'l though
inadvertency, never delivered to US till t,.a l.th
and consequently have received no notice from
u.s. Among these was Il call for Liberal Con-
vention in Essex County on the 10Th of August,
to be inserted in the Freeman letter from
Bridgewater with $500, to be credited to L,
Raymond and S. Mendall, ST. so each, for the
Freeman, and one from Mortified, requesting
the insertion of sundry names to the call of the
late Republican Convention in this County--all
which, but for the mishap would have been
promptly attended to in season.
The WEATHER AND CRors. The fall of rain
since the first of June, has not been in this Sec
ton but very little, if any more than one fourth
the usual average, from that time to the pres
ent. The consequence is, that with the scorcl
ing suns we have had for the last six weeks, that
the surface of the earth is unusually dry, the
pastures parched up and nearly worthless for
grazing, and the crops, especially tho potato
crop, much injured +; while in many places the
grasshoppers are 50 thick as to threaten to take
nearly all the field vegetation that the drouth
has left. 1t is getting to be a gloomy time for
farmers.
The CHOLERA. This dreadful disease is be-
coming, we are happy to perceive, either sta
tionary or on the decrease, in all parts of the
country. There iB4ittle doubt but that there
have bocn many cases all over the United States
this year, which have not been published. We
had one q milne case of the Asiatic Cholera in
Montpelier, which terminated the life of Mr.
Geo Blake, merchant of the firm of Hubbard
& Blake, in "a hours from the first attack but
this. and another similar case, about that time,
resulting in the death of Mr. Colby, an intrm
old man belonging to Montpelier but dying in
Berlin, are all the casts that have occurred and
now the town and vicinity are unusually
healthy.
