---Tur DRouoru.--During the last
week We travelled through mos, of the towns
in Onrge County, aud found the same tcs
,iuonial OF suffering by the drought in CIV
cry place we visited Large fields are al!
ready grey with barrcuness, and no traces
of vegetable lie are to be seen. The
grasshoppers literally cover the earth in
some places, and the feed in old pastures
mus, be mentioned among the things that
have been. Cornfelds have been suffer-
ing greatly the last ten days, and some
fields that appeared promising two weeks
ago arc already pronounced worthless, cx-
cept for fodder. Potatoes will suffer more
than anything else. The indications are
now that there will not be bushel TO
spare from the State this year Hest Ran

On the night of washing day." last
week, two men from West Bethel took
night de--into Randolph for the purpose
Of stealing clothes that had been hung out
during the day to dry. They stole large
quantity, and then were discovered, the
horse, wagon, and thief were taken. The
scamp says his name is Charles Flint. lie
should be handed over TO the washers, and
thoroughly scrubbed by them with soap
and water, and then stuck on "clo;hes
line" till Christmas holidays.
Expressive silence. At the Old
Line Democratic County Convention at

down their throsts, and then the cars run
