THE RAINY SEASON.

We are hattered with the hope that the rainy
closed with its nineteen wet days in july since August
and failed to furnish the usual quota of showers.
From here to Lake Michigan the doleful cry of total
ruin TO hay and grain siih continues. We are fully
that the damage is great but not so utterly de-
strucve The general tenor Of the dolor accounts
would indicate. We have conversed with several in
telligent farmers who say that tenth OF the
grain sprouted, and that is not utterly worth
less. In the counties above the City much rye
than wheat is zed and but little of that is spoiled.
The greatest damage is to the straw-says our inform
ant Grass that Was cut before the rain, that was
ready to cut has been seriously damaged but said
gentleman to yesterday 81 have gained in pasture
and second crop of grass more than have lost by
the rain, and the extra growth Of corn is clear
"proft."
correspondent writes from Covert, NewYork,
July 30:
II has rained here for some ten or twelve days
ard is pouring down in torrents today. The wheat s
vet mos " tarding uncut. Much has spreuted, and
The prospect is that but little if any will be saved.
large share of the hay crop is spoiled Our prospects
are gloomy Enclosed is a fair sample OF wheat ifom
one of the best farms of he county,
This sample shows very bad. Nearly all the grains
are shrupken but do not appear TO US to have sprou
ed 1t will still make bread, and few days of such
fine weather as now prevails will suffice to save the
crop, We hope.
A letter from Union, Broome County, n. Y, says.
Wheat is being seriously injured great deal has
already sprouted unless We have far weather soon
Lar % PORTION will be destroyed before It can be ha-
vested The woevh has done very little injury.
lsrs quantity of hay cut during one or two days OF
good We ather over week ago, is now good for not-
ing except manure. All crops except corn, which Is
backward look well and the farmers viii rejoice over
bountful harvest il they are not injured too much
before their crops can be gathered
We trust they will yet sing harvest home with
grateful hearts and gleeiu songs Of Thanksgiving. A
letter dated Vergennes. VT, July 30, says:
eve have been blessed with unusual quantity Of
rain during the present month which has retarded the
farmers from gathering their hay crop-the bulk of
which the wet weather has materially improved. We
shall get about an average crop OF whest, oats and
corn and potatoes look very finely. The weevll has
however commenced depredations upon some fields OF
wheat how extensively they will damage the crop Is

are the most bounti;u ever gro in this country.

WILLOW INDUSTRIAL ScHooI.-Between and
ocloek thi. afternoon. Gully 27l crowds of childrea
were seen rushing through the streets their steps
made buoyant ana faces iumined by the thought that
for five weeks they had only to play" To them va
cation comprises all that is desirable.
But VERY different scene was being enacted at tho
Wilson Industrial School, which the Managers have
tits Summer, for the first time, been compelled -
ccee for month on account of the health Of tbs
teachers Here were one hundred and eighteen httlo
girls crying-yes, actually reep.ag " because theSo
" was to be no school for whole month"; Very
touching was he expression OF those little faces
they realized that for month they should not see the
kind ladies who were all the world to them; for .
month they must pick rags. beg, or spend the long
Summer days between the streets and their gloomy
homes and not in the pleasant schoo-room Pity that
such institutions should have vacation. But std moro
affecting was their exhibition of attachment to
their teachers and of contrton for their needless dis
obedience. Tears were abundant, while the kissing
beat any Il ing we ever witnessed. Each girl-ciean
and not cean--must kiss her teachers once, many
Kissed them once in the schoo-room al the door,
ard again at the corner, an application we, by our
hight and ser, escaped. These girls have warm
hearts and the ladies have evidently found the way to
them. Too mach praise cannot be given TO tho
teachers-Miss Robinson and Mas Davis-for their
faithful sefdenyng efforts in bsha Of these children
of the street All presen felt that their patience dur
ing the past amply repaid by the unexpected
manifestation of deep and true feeling. 50 long rs
there is feeling there is hope for the most de-
g aded. Their feeling no all fondness ccntrition
had its place The Tailoring Classcomposed Of girls
between the ages of twelve and ffeeen-waited upon
the teacher in body and with many tears, through
one ofther number requested forgiveness for all
" the bad things they had done this year. Another
little dirty unjombed imp was overheard saying.
" ! never did pray for Miss r., but will now
While Industrial Schools taught by such
teachers with such results, there is hope for this
class Of population, although there are
1900 street children within our City limits We
trust the day is not far distant when schoos-as faith
