TEE RAs.-Ws have had a Glow, steady rain tor
more than twentysour hours of Saturday asd Sunday
II is of the kind which farmers call "a soaking
"rain," because it fell so gradually that It soaked
into the earth instead of running of and washing away
the coil. We hope this rain has extended through
Vermont and Northern New-York, we see that
farmers have been suffering with drouth and the ap
pIohonsion Of repetition Of the drouth Of last year.
To the gardeners in the vicinity Of NewYork this rain
has been Of much benefit. II will also add much to
the gress crop.
