The Weather ansa tro,,z.

Our farmers are beginning to dread the effects of .thawet weather of the last two weeks. Hay and grain cut ten days ago is not yet fit to be stored, and considerabie app prebension is felt that the rye and wheat crop may be materially injured by sprout- ing. However, we believe the bountifnl rains and warm weather will be inc means of increasing the yield of other crops beyond what is lost in this manner. We have con- sersed with several of our flaming friends from different parts of the county, and they all unite that the prospect of a liberal har- vest of grain iexcept rye, which has badly |sprouted, grass and fruit was seldom bet ter than at present, should the weather prove favorable for securing it. A correspondent of New York paper, writing from the north part of this county, says of the com ing harvest: The cold backward Spring has been favorable for rye and oats rye never looked better; good yield is sure, with a lair prospect of reducing the price from two dollars the bushel. Harvest is now a. hand; oats look we'll. For the last four weeks there has been an abundance of rain, and very hot weather. Grass has come on very fast, and all good meadows look remarahly well.-- Corn for few weeks has grown beyond all conception; in some pieces, shor, time since where it was scarcely above ground, the stalk now measures more than : feet. Potatoes also have grown finely. There has been more buckwheat sown than usual, not withstanding the high price of seed, from $l 90 to SI ST per hushel--the first 10 days of July, the time for sowing. Gardens have been thoroughly planted. Every hole in the wall, tha, would take an onion or bean. has been occupied. More ground has been piowed this season than usual, and such has been the rage to get Hard Times un- der, that every poor man has taken from the farmers a bit of ground to plant for part of crop. with corn, potatoes and beans. It is hoped that instead of hearing the cry of Famine every man may have bread for himself, and two of his neighbors.

Anether Grcxs Rail.cay in Rassia.-To show how great arc the exertions of Russia in the present war, it is now said that they have, hy the most incredible exertions, so far advanced with asrailroad from Moscow to perekop, that 1t wall be completed and in full operation in the autumn. This will en. able them to ponr into the Crimea. soldiers and supplies without limit. Tho French are so well aware of this, that they are fortitying kamiesch, and will render 1t the strongest fortress in Europe, and sooner or Inter they will probably retire 1t. Perekop is about 800 miles south from Moscow, and stands at the junction of the Crimea Penin- sula with the main land. It Is 100 miles north of Sebastopoi. When the above rail. road is complete, Russia will have cons tinuous track of over l2U0 miles in length, extending north and south through her dominions, from St. Pc,ersbursh, on the Gulf of Finland, to the shores of the Riack Sea. At no distant day, St. Pe,ershurgi, and Constansinopie will doubtless he con nected by raiiroad.

The Providence Tri5une says the evidence is all circumstantfal, as the act was done unobserved by human eye, vet this kind of evidence when the chain is bro- ken, proves the most convincing to the mind. His trial takes place in September. s Some evil disposed persons have taken whiskey to Lawrence, Kansas, and drunk en persons have appeared in the stree,s.-- Whereupon, the citizens called public meeting, and appointed committee to wait upon these sellers, and to say if, they did not desist, they will make practical appli- cation of tho Maine Law in short time.

Ohio is said to have been the greatest sufferer of all the Western States by the drought of 1854, and it is pleasing to sec reports coming in Of good crops harvested and in prospect from all parts of the State. The wheat crop is secnred in good order, and the reported injuries by the weevil turn out to be much less than at one time sup- posed. Oats; barley. rye, grass, potatoes, &c., were never better. The soil of Ohio has never been more extensively or better cultivated than now.

NEw YoRK.-There is now fair pros pect of union. in the next State election, between the Republicans, the Whies, and ,he anti-slavery Democrats upon the anti Nebraska issue. The Whig State Central Committee and the Committee appointed at the Republican State Convention at Auburn last year held Conference in N. Y. city, a few days since. and agreed that the Con vensions of their respective parties should be held on the same day (:sept. 26th.) at Syracuse, with view to union upon the same ticket for State officers. The Whig press, will, the exception of some of the bitierest of the Silver Grey organs, is in favour of merging the Whig party (wl,at is left of iD in the Republican organization. Even the Courier and Enquirer is in favour of this measure. It is understood that Preston King and other leading anti-slavery Democrats will unite with the new party, in which case it will be sure to carry the State over all opposition, unless there should be division on inc Temperance issue.

L,tehfeld Mutual Fire Insurance e

Litchfeld Mutual Fire Insurance Co.
 By reference to our advertising columns will be, found the twenty second annual re- port of this very fortunate and successful Insurance Company. Their success is evi. dence of the practicability, economy and safety of fire insurance based on the mutual principle when conducted on fair and equit- able principles, and in careful and econo. mical manner. 5-dc
 They have taken all risks allowed by the charter on as good terms as stock compa- nies per year, for which they have re- ceived payment for a single year and the remaining two years have been charged on the books against the insured. This has in no instance been called for. Thus has the insurance in this company cost only one third the usual premiums and still gives its members their proportion of the accumula- ting capital of the company.
 The charges on the books of the company are held as guarantee to tho insured against any possibility of loss. The cash paid is an accommodating fund judiciously loaned at interest for the benefit of the in- sured, and now adequate to pay four times the loss which can occur from any single fre--as the company have bye law which does not allow them to take risks that can in any contingency involve a loss of more than S25Go in any single fire; hence there need be no fears entertained from an assess ment upon the charged premiums of the company. All losses are promptly adjust. ed, and no claims exists against the com pany of any kind whatever.
 The last has been the most fortunate of any year of the company's existence, hav- ing insured nearly million of property (Ss9S, ,505) and relinqaished .S675, 5,000.- They have received one-sirM the amount of cash received in twenty two years--more than three times the losses sustained and expenses incurred in the year; and added to their cash and guarantee capital more than ten times their losses and expenses.
 These few facts brought to the notice ot our citizens we hope will induce them to patfonize their own Institution chartered for their especial benefit in preference to for eign bankrupt and irresponsible companies, by which they have already sacrificed thou sands of dollars. sfss
