The interest which The TRIBUNE has manifested
in the Ohio State Fair announced TO be held in this

more important that you notice the postponement of

and excessive heat that has hung like pail to
smother the life and energies Of a whole people for

Few sections hsre suffered more from the drouth
than this. The corn crop will be very light in fact,
many fields have been cut up for fodder, the stalks
being entirely destitute ofears and dry One farmer told
me he should not have one bushel where be would
have had ten had the season been favor able. The
potato crop must also be extremely light those which
have been taken out of the ground are not much
larger than birds eggs, and then are few IN the hill
The second crop of grass, which IS usually quite
large in hisquarter will amount to little or nothing
The light sandy soils have suffered most severely from
the drouth though the crop upon the low meadow
lands will be light. The forest leaves are dying as
in autumn; indeed, the whole country wears desc
late and melancholy appearance.
We have of late, however, had two or three light
showers which, though the effect is scarcely yet
visible. cannot fail to do good. delightful rain
